those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Agreement,
including third party claims against the Company, which arise from the handling

action against the insured or reinsured, or in the preparation or prosecution of

such a consideration shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any

in dispute to the creditor party as provided in this paragraph pending

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option and upon the demand of the
Company, when the amount due in the aggregate as a result of any

Business ("Policy Payment") exceeds US $500,000., the Company shall be
paid by special remittance within five (5) business days upon receipt
of a special
7
account, which shall be prepared by the Company and shall contain all
relevant details in connection with the claim.
D. If the Reinsurer is required to post security pursuant to Article

E. In addition to the foregoing, as soon as reasonably possible following
the end of each calendar year, at the Reinsurer's request the Company
shall provide the Reinsurer with a copy of the Company's Annual Report
and/or statutory Annual Statement.
ARTICLE XI
LOSS SETTLEMENTS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
The Company shall be the sole judge as to what shall constitute a claim
or loss covered under the Subject Business. The Company shall, in its sole
discretion, monitor, evaluate, negotiate, adjust, investigate, settle, defend or
compromise all claims or potential claims and all losses or potential losses,
including Extra Contractual Obligations and Excess Limits Liability. All such
negotiations, adjustments, investigations, settlements, defenses and compromises
shall be unconditionally binding on the Reinsurer. In addition to amounts paid
in settlement of losses, the Reinsurer shall be liable for its proportionate
share of all reasonable Loss Adjustment Expenses. The Reinsurer shall have the
right, at its own expense and upon prior written notice to the Company, to
become associated in any suit, litigation or action relating to the Subject
Business and retain counsel and advisors of their own choice.
The Company or the Reinsurer, as the case may be, shall at all times
use reasonable best efforts to keep the Reinsurer or the Company, as the case
may be, apprised of the status of any material events with respect to the
Subject Business.
8
Further, the Company shall provide, without limitation, the following
surveillance services to the Reinsurer as part of the Company's discharging of
its own obligations under the policies for the benefit of the Company and
consistent with its fiduciary duties to its reinsurers: (a) preparation for and
with the consent of the Reinsurer, representation of the interest of the
Reinsurer at and follow up on matters arising from any meetings with third
parties relating to the Subject Business; (b) participation in quarterly
reserving work-up discussions to develop a recommendation on reserves related to
the Subject Business; and (c) preparation of reports as necessary to update the
Reinsurer on workout matters. The Reinsurer shall be liable for its share of all
reasonable Loss Adjustment Expenses paid or incurred by the Company in
connection with such surveillance services.
ARTICLE XII
FOLLOW THE FORTUNES
A. The Reinsurer's liability shall attach simultaneously with that of the
Company and shall be subject in all respects to the same risks, terms,
rates, conditions, interpretations, assessments, waivers, the exact
proportion of premium paid to the Company without any deductions for
brokerage and to the same modification, alterations and cancellations
as the policies, the true intent of this Agreement being that the
Reinsurer shall, in every case to which this Agreement applies, follow
the underwriting fortunes of the Company and the Reinsurer shall be
bound, without limitation, by any payments and settlements entered into
by the Company in good faith.
B. Nothing shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any
rights against the Reinsurer in favor of any third parties or any
persons not parties to this Agreement.
9
ARTICLE XIII
OFFSET
In the event of insolvency of either the Company or the Reinsurer,
offset shall be permitted in accordance with the terms of this Article and as
otherwise permitted by Section 7427 of the Insurance Law of the State of New
York. Subject to the foregoing, each party hereto shall have, and may exercise
at any time and from time to time, the right to offset any balances, whether on
account of premiums or on account of losses or otherwise, due from such party to
the other party hereto under this Agreement or under any other agreement
heretofore or hereafter entered into by and between them, and may offset the
same against any balance or balances due or to become due to the former from the
latter under the same or any other agreement between them; and the party
asserting the right of offset shall have and may exercise such right whether the
balance or balances due or to become due to such party from the other are on
account of premiums or on account of losses or otherwise and regardless of the
capacity, whether as Company or as Reinsurer, in which each party acted under
the agreement or, if more than one, the different agreements involved.
ARTICLE XIV
SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION
In the event of any salvage and/or subrogation received in respect of
claims and settlements under the policies relating to the Subject Business, the
salvage and/or subrogation shall be coordinated under this and other applicable
reinsurance of the Subject Business by reference to the order of Company's
reinsurance cessions under the definition of Article V H, Retained Reserves.
First, the salvage and/or subrogation shall be paid with respect to the
reinsurance contract or contracts which are obligated to pay Company first on
the Subject Business for amounts in excess of that reinsurer's held reserves as
of
10
June 30, 2006 (the "Held Reserves"). Once such amounts paid by such reinsurers
in excess of their respective Held Reserves have been fully reimbursed, any
additional subrogation and/or salvage shall then be applied to the amount of
each such reinsurer's Held Reserves, starting with the reinsurer of the Subject
Business whose obligation to pay Company occurs last and proceeding to the
reinsurer so obligated to pay first. If two or more reinsurers have obligations
to pay Company on the Subject Business which occur simultaneously, the
subrogation and/or salvage shall be divided between them in proportion to the
amount each of them is obligated to pay as a part of the amount of their
combined obligation to pay.
The Company hereby agrees to enforce such subrogation rights as it may
obtain by virtue of payments made under the policies relating to the Subject
Business, but in case it shall refuse or neglect to do so, Reinsurer is hereby
authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action to enforce such rights.
All subrogation recoveries, other recoveries, salvage or payments made
subsequent to the payment of claims hereunder shall be applied as if made before
such payment of claims and shall be made as soon as practicable.
ARTICLE XV
DELAYS, ERRORS, AND OMISSIONS
Any inadvertent delay, error, or omission made in connection with this
Agreement or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any
liability that would have attached had such delay, error, or omission not
occurred, provided that any error or omission is rectified as soon as reasonably
practical.
11
ARTICLE XVI
AMENDMENTS AND ALTERATIONS
This Agreement may be changed, altered, or amended as the parties may
agree, provided such change, alteration, or amendment is evidenced in writing or
by endorsement executed by the Company and the Reinsurer and provided further
that any such change, alteration or amendment has been previously filed for
approval with the Superintendent of the New York Insurance Department for his
review and non-objection thereto.
ARTICLE XVII
ACCESS TO RECORDS
Provided the Reinsurer gives at least fifteen (15) days prior written
notice, it or its designated representatives, provided such representatives are
reasonably acceptable to the Company, shall have the right to inspect at any
reasonable time, in the office of the Company where the files are located, all
records of the Company that pertain in any way to this Agreement; the
Reinsurer's right of inspection shall survive expiration or cancellation of this
Agreement, so long as any claim or premium matters remain outstanding.
All non-public information provided in the course of the inspection
shall be kept confidential by the Reinsurer as against third parties, except as
respects any obligation to do so by law or contract.
ARTICLE XVIII
RESERVES AND FUNDING
A. Reinsurer hereby agrees to establish reserves for the policies relating
to the Subject Business being reinsured under this Agreement in
accordance with the requirements of Article 69 of the New York
Insurance Laws. With respect to the Subject Business, the Company
agrees that, when it files with the Insurance Department or sets up on
its books
12
reserves for losses (including loss and loss expense paid by the
Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer, and loss and loss expense
reported and outstanding) and unearned premium, which it is required by
law to set up, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing
the proportion of such reserves applicable to it.
B. The Reinsurer shall take all steps necessary to comply with the
provisions of Article 69 of the New York Insurance Laws and all
applicable laws and regulations so as to permit the Company to obtain
full credit on its statutory financial statements for the reinsurance
provided by this Agreement in all applicable jurisdictions, including,
without limitation, compliance with Section 6906 of the New York
Insurance Law, to the extent credit is not otherwise available under
applicable law or regulations. It is understood and agreed that any
term or condition required by such law or regulation to be included in
this Agreement for the Company to receive financial credit for the
reinsurance provided by this Agreement shall be deemed to be
incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
C. If the Company is unable to take credit on its statutory statements for
the reinsurance provided by this Agreement, the Reinsurer will post
security in the form of a Letter of Credit and/or Trust Account in an
amount and in a form which will entitle the Company to obtain such
credit under the New York insurance laws and regulations.
13
ARTICLE XIX
INSOLVENCY
In the event of the insolvency of the Company and the appointment of a
liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, reinsurance due under
this Agreement shall be payable with reasonable provision for verification, on
the basis of the liability of the Company resulting from claims allowed against
the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor having authority to allow such
claims without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion
of any claims.
Payments by the Reinsurer as set forth above shall be made directly and
exclusively to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or
statutory successor except as provided by subsection (a) of section 4118 of New
York Insurance Law or except (a) where this Agreement specifies another payee in
the event of the insolvency, or (b) the Reinsurer, with the consent of the
direct insureds, has assumed such policy obligations of the Company as direct
obligations to the payees under such policies in substitution for the
obligations of the Company to such payees.
In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor shall give written notice of the
pendency of a claim against the Company under policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During
the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer has the right but not the duty to
investigate said claim and interpose in the proceeding where the claim is to be
adjudicated, at its own expense, any defense or defenses that it may deem
available to the Company, or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory
successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable against
the Company, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of
the expense of
14
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. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a
majority in interest elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense
shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though
such expense had been incurred by the Company. Should the Company go into
liquidation or should a receiver be appointed, the Reinsurer will be entitled to
exercise any offset rights specifically provided by this Agreement and to offset
any other sums permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE XX
ARBITRATION
Any and all disputes or other matter in question relating to this
Agreement, including its formation, interpretation and performance or breach of
this Agreement, whether the dispute arises before or after the termination of
this Agreement, shall be resolved by a panel of three arbitrators and such
arbitration shall be initiated at the written request of either party within a
reasonable time after dispute has arisen.
The members of the panel shall be US citizens and shall be active or
retired disinterested officers of insurance or reinsurance companies.
An arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two so chosen shall
choose the third. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty
(30) days of being requested to do so by the other party, the requesting party
may choose both arbitrators who shall choose the third. In the event the two
arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30)
days of their appointment each of them shall name five, of whom the other shall
decline four and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.
15
The party requesting arbitration shall submit its case within thirty
(30) days of the selection of the third arbitrator and the respondent shall
submit its case thirty (30) days thereafter or as otherwise extended by the
arbitration panel. The panel shall make its decision with regard to the custom
and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business. The panel
shall not be obligated to follow all judicial formalities and may abstain from
following the strict rules of evidence and procedure except to the extent
required by governing law.
Each party shall bear the expenses of the arbitrator it selected and
shall share equally with the other in the expenses of the third arbitrator and
the arbitration. The panel shall issue its decision as promptly as possible
following the completion of a hearing, if there is one, but in no event may
punitive damages be awarded. The majority decision of the arbitrators shall be
final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding. Judgment may be entered
upon the award of the panel in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In no
event will the panel award punitive, exemplary or enhanced compensatory damages.
The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York.
ARTICLE XXI
RATING OF THE REINSURER
If the Reinsurer is downgraded by Standard and Poor's or Xxxxx'x
Investors Service (a "Downgrade") and as a result of such Downgrade, the Company
is receiving less financial credit from a rating agency with respect to the
reinsurance provided by this agreement than it did prior to the Downgrade, the
parties will work together and take reasonable steps to ensure that the Company
receives financial credit for the reinsurance from the applicable rating agency
to the same extent as it did prior to the Downgrade.
