post retirement health care benefits as a pooled expense and as of January 1,

Amendment Number 3 effective as of January 1, 1995 adding Milbank as a party and
adjusting the pooling percentages as follows: State Auto P&C 35%, State Auto
Mutual 55% and Milbank 10% and by an Amended and Restated Reinsurance Pooling

the amount of $100,000,000 in excess of $120,000,000 of such losses and loss

Reinsurance Agreement desire to amend that agreement effective January 1, 1998
to add Midwest Security as a party and adjust the Respective Percentages (as
defined below) as set forth herein.
The parties desire to amend and restate the Reinsurance Agreement as

expenses for residential and commercial property to the extent such
losses and loss expenses are covered by the State Auto P&C Catastrophe
Assumption Agreement. Once the aforesaid $100,000,000 of coverage is
exhausted by loss expenses and loss payments on behalf of any party
hereto, under either the State Auto P&C Catastrophe Assumption
Agreement or directly, all parties understand and agree that
catastrophe losses and loss expenses in excess of $220,000,000 shall
once again be ceded and assumed under the terms of this Amended and
Restated Reinsurance Agreement. All premiums attributable to the State
Auto P&C Catastrophe Assumption Agreement are to be paid to State Auto

companies designated by said president, shall determine the methods and
procedures, including accounting transactions, by which the terms of
this Agreement shall be performed by and on behalf of the parties
hereto.
14. AMENDMENTS: This Agreement may be modified from time to time, so as
to adapt its provisions to the varying conditions of the business of
the Group, by a mutual agreement in writing of the parties hereto,
subject to ratification by the Board of Directors of each party and
with the approval of the insurance officials from the State of Ohio,
the State of South Carolina, the State of South Dakota, and the State

days notice by one of the parties to the other parties and to the
respective domiciliary insurance department of each of the parties.
16. INTERPRETATION: Wherever required to give the correct meaning
throughout this Agreement, the singular shall be interpreted in the
plural. Clerical errors or errors of involuntary or inadvertent
omission or commission shall not be interpreted as a discharge of

shall be rectified at the time of discovery or as soon as practicable
thereafter. Caption headings are for convenience only and are not
intended to affect the construction of the terms hereof.
10
Page 10
17. INSOLVENCY: The reinsurance made under this Agreement shall be
payable by the assuming reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the
ceding insurer under the contract or contracts reinsured without
diminution because of the insolvency of the ceding insurer. In the
event of insolvency of the ceding insurer, the liquidator or receiver
or statutory successor of such insurer shall give written notice to the
assuming reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the insolvent
ceding insurer on the policy or bond reinsured within a reasonable time
after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding; that during the
pendency of such claim the assuming 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 ceding insurer or its liquidator or receiver or
statutory successors; that the expense thus incurred by the assuming
reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the
insolvent ceding insurer as part of the expense of liquidation to the
extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the
ceding insurer solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the
assuming reinsurer. The reinsurance made effective under this Agreement
shall be payable by the assuming reinsurer to the ceding insurer or to
the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the ceding insurer.
18. ARBITRATION: In the event of any dispute hereafter arising with
respect to this Agreement, State Auto Mutual, State Auto P&C, Milbank,
and Midwest Security hereby agree that such dispute shall, upon the
request of the one of the parties, be submitted to arbitration. One
arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and those arbitrators shall
then select an umpire who shall hear and decide the issues to be
arbitrated. If one party fails to name an arbitrator within thirty (30)
days after receipt of a written request to do so, the party initiating
the arbitration may choose the arbitrators. The decision of the umpire
shall be final and binding on the parties. Each party shall bear the
expense of its arbitrator and the cost of the umpire shall be shared
equally. The arbitration shall take place at Columbus, Ohio or such
other location upon which the parties may mutually agree.
