The term "Loss Occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the duration and extent of any one Loss Occurrence shall be limited to all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event except that the term "Loss Occurrence" shall be further defined as follows:

	1.	As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, including ensuing collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. However, the event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous thereto.

As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company, occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 72 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period.

	3.	As regards earthquake (the epicentre of which need not necessarily be within the territorial confines referred to in the opening paragraph of this Article) and fire following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the Company's Loss Occurrence.

	4.	As regards Freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of glass and water damage (caused by bursting of frozen pipes and tanks) may be included in the Company's Loss Occurrence.

B.	As respects Bodily Injury Liability (other than Automobile and Products), said term shall also be understood to mean, as regards each original assured, injuries to one or more than one person resulting from infection, contagion, poisoning, or contamination proceeding from or traceable to the same causative agency.

C.	As respects Property Damage Liability (other than Automobile and Products), said term shall also, subject to Provisions 1. and 2. below, be understood to mean loss or losses caused by a series of operations, events, or occurrences arising out of operations at one specific site and which cannot be attributed to any single one of such operations, events or occurrences, but rather to the cumulative

	effect of the same. In assessing each and every Loss Occurrence within the foregoing definition, it is understood and agreed that:

	1.	the series of operations, events or occurrences shall not extend over a period longer than 12 consecutive months; and

	2.	the Company may elect the date on which the period of not exceeding 12 consecutive months shall be deemed to have commenced.

	In the event that the series of operations, events or occurrences extend over a period longer than 12 consecutive months, then each consecutive period of 12 months, the first of which commences on the date elected under 2. above, shall form the basis of claim under this Agreement.

In addition, the difference in commission adjustment shall be paid by the debtor party within 30 days after the Reinsurer's verification of the Company's calculations.

H.	If the ratio of Incurred Losses to Earned Premiums for any Period, including any debits or credits carried forward, is more than 67.50%, the difference in percentage between the actual ratio and 67.50% shall be multiplied by the Earned Premiums for the Period, and the product shall be carried forward to the next Period's commission adjustment calculations as a debit to Incurred Losses.

This reinsurance shall not apply to any fines, civil penalties or surcharges assessed pursuant to the Act.

C.	The respective liability of the Reinsurer and of the Company for Insured Losses in any Program Year under this Agreement shall each be reduced by the ratio that the financial assistance available to the Company under the Act for that Program Year bears to the Company's total Insured Losses for the same Program Year.

D.	The parties recognize that, for any Program Year, the Reinsurer may without waiver of the foregoing Paragraphs make payments for Insured Losses which, together with available financial assistance under the Act and the Company retentions and/or deductibles hereunder, exceed the Company's Insured Losses. In such event, the Reinsurer's proportional share of all such excess recovery (hereafter

<PAGE> 18. No. TM666A-R03

	"Reinsurer's Excess Share") shall inure to the benefit of the Reinsurer. All excess recovery described in this Paragraph shall be allocated to the Reinsurer and the Company in proportion to the respective liability of each for Insured Losses, net of federal assistance under the Act, salvage, subrogation and other similar recoveries, as applicable.

Within 30 days after receiving such notice, the respondent shall also appoint an arbitrator and notify the claimant thereof by certified mail.

The name of the individual first drawn shall be the umpire.

D.	Failure of Party to Appoint an Arbitrator - If the respondent fails to appoint an arbitrator within 30 days after receiving a notice of intention to arbitrate, the claimant's arbitrator shall appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the respondent, such arbitrator shall then, together with the claimant's arbitrator, choose an umpire as provided in Paragraph C. of Part III of this Article.

E.	Submission of Dispute to Panel - Unless otherwise extended by the arbitration panel or agreed to by the parties, each party shall submit its case to the panel within 30 days after the selection of the umpire.

B.	The Reinsurer shall be given written notice of the pendency of each claim or loss which may involve the reinsurance provided by this Agreement within a reasonable time after such claim or loss is filed in the insolvency proceedings. The Reinsurer shall have the right to investigate each such claim or loss and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceedings where the claim or loss is to be adjudicated, any defense which it may deem available to the Company, 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.

C.	In addition to the offset provisions set forth in Article XXI - Offset, any debts or credits, liquidated or unliquidated, in favor of or against either party on the date of the receivership or liquidation order (except where the obligation was purchased by or transferred to be used as an offset) are deemed mutual debts or credits and shall be set off with the balance only to be allowed or paid. 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.
