(b) In the event the Retrocedent elects to transfer the Deposit Amount to a Trust Account, the Retrocedent and the Retrocessionaire shall enter into a trust agreement that establishes the Trust Account.  The trust agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Retrocedent and the Retrocessionaire in both form and substance.  The assets deposited in the Trust Account shall be valued according to their current fair market value and shall consist only of cash (United States legal tender), certificates of deposit issued by a United States bank and payable in United States legal tender, and investments of the types

5

specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of section 1404 of the New York Insurance Law.  All settlements of account between the Company and the Reinsurer shall be made in cash or its equivalent.

(d) Promptly (and in any event within five business days) following receipt of a Collateral Statement showing that the Collateral Amount exceeds the market value of the assets in the Trust Account, in each case as of the date of such Collateral Statement, the Retrocessionaire will deposit in the Trust Account qualified assets with a market value at least equal to such difference.  If on any day during the Retrocession Term the Collateral Amount is less than the market value of the assets in the Trust Account, in each case as of such day, the Retrocedent will promptly (and in any event within five business days of such day) transfer to the Trust Account assets with a market value at least equal to the lesser of (i) such difference and (ii) the positive difference between the Deposit Amount as of such day and $32,200,000.

(e) The Retrocessionaire has the right to seek approval from the Retrocedent to withdraw from the Trust Account all or any part of the assets contained therein and transfer such assets to the Retrocessionaire, provided that:

1. the Retrocessionaire shall, at the time of such withdrawal, replace the withdrawn assets with other qualified assets having a market value at least equal to the market value of the assets withdrawn so as to maintain at all times the deposit in the required amount; or

2. after such withdrawal and transfer, the market value of the Trust Account is not less than the Collateral Amount.

The Retrocedent shall be the sole judge as to the application of this provision, but shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold its approval.

Section 8.4.  Surety Bond, Etc.  If on any day during the Retrocession Term the Retrocedent is required to procure a surety bond or some other form of security in connection with any litigation, arbitration or similar action (howsoever described) arising out of or in any way connected to the Reinsurance Agreement, the Retrocessionaire shall reimburse the Retrocedent for any and all costs incurred by the Retrocedent in connection with such procurement.

ARTICLE 9

GENERAL CONDITIONS

Section 9.1.  Follow the Fortunes.  This Agreement is based on the original terms of the Reinsurance Agreement so that the Retrocessionaire’s rights and obligations vis-à-vis the Retrocedent with respect to the reinsurance provided under this Agreement shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, follow the fortunes of the Retrocedent in all respects under the Reinsurance Agreement.

Section 9.2.  No Third Party Rights.  Nothing herein shall be construed to expand the liability of the Retrocessionaire beyond what is specifically assumed under this Agreement by creating in any third party any rights hereunder.

Section 9.3. Insolvency.  In the event of the insolvency of the Retrocedent, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Retrocedent, or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, on the basis of the liability of the Retrocedent without diminution because of the insolvency of the Retrocedent or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Retrocedent has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim.  It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Retrocedent shall give written notice to the Retrocessionaire of the pendency of a claim against the Retrocedent with respect to the Reinsurance Agreement within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the liquidation, conservation or rehabilitation proceeding or in the receivership.  During the pendency of such claim, the Retrocessionaire may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Retrocedent or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor.  The expense thus incurred by the Retrocessionaire shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Retrocedent as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the Retrocedent solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Retrocessionaire.

Section 9.4.  Access to Records.  Upon reasonable notice, the Retrocessionaire or its duly authorized representative shall have access to and the right to inspect the books and records of the Retrocedent that pertain to this Agreement or the Reinsurance Agreement.  In addition, the Retrocedent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause JCJ Insurance Company to allow the Retrocessionaire or its duly authorized representative to have access to and the right to inspect the books and records JCJ Insurance Company to the extent such books and records pertain to such Reinsurance Agreement.

Section 9.5.  Offset.  The Retrocessionaire or the Retrocedent may offset any balance(s) due from one party to the other under this Agreement or any other agreement exclusively between the parties hereto.  The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right

7

at any time whether the balance(s) due are on account of premiums or losses or otherwise.  In the event of the insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with applicable law.

Section 9.6.  Errors and Omissions.  Any inadvertent delay, omission or error shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability which would attach to it hereunder if such delay, omission or error had not been made, provided such delay, omission or error is rectified as soon as possible after discovery.

Section 9.7.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of law rules thereof.

Section 9.8.  Arbitration.  Any dispute or other matter in question relating to this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the Retrocedent and the Retrocessionaire arising out of, or relating to, the formation, interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, whether such dispute arises before or after termination of this Agreement, will be subject to arbitration.  Arbitration will be initiated by the delivery of a written notice of demand for arbitration by one party to the other within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen and cannot be otherwise settled by the parties.

Within thirty (30) days of the non-initiating party’s receipt of notice of arbitration, each party will appoint a disinterested individual as arbitrator and the two so appointed will then appoint a third arbitrator who will serve as the umpire.  If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the other party may appoint the second arbitrator.  If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the second arbitrator was appointed, the parties shall employ the XXXXX-U.S. Umpire Appointment Procedures to appoint the third arbitrator.  If the XXXXX-U.S. Umpire Appointment Procedures have been terminated, the parties shall jointly petition the New York office of the American Arbitration Association to appoint the third arbitrator.  The arbitrators will be present or former officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or attorneys experienced in reinsurance matters who do not have a personal or financial interest in the result of the arbitration and who are not past or current officers, employees or directors of the Retrocedent, the Retrocessionaire or their respective affiliates.

The arbitration hearings will be held in New York, New York, or such other place as the parties may mutually agree.  Within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings.  The decision of the panel shall be rendered within forty-five (45) days following the termination of the hearings.

In making its decision, the panel shall consider the customs and practices of the reinsurance industry.  The arbitrators will not be obliged to follow judicial formalities or the rules of evidence except to the extent required by the laws of the State of New York.  Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive law, it shall apply the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws rules.  The decision of any two arbitrators when

8

rendered in writing shall be final and binding.  The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.  Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, will govern any action or suit brought to compel any such arbitration or to enforce any award rendered pursuant to such arbitration.  It is agreed that the arbitrators shall not have the jurisdiction to authorize any punitive, exemplary or consequential damage awards between the parties hereto.

Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator.  The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the panel.  The panel may, at its discretion, award such further costs and expenses as it considers appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law.

Except as provided above, arbitration will be based, to the extent applicable, upon XXXXX-U.S. procedures.

The procedures specified in this Section will be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of irreconcilable disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.9.  Service of Suit.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or State of New York court sitting in the State of New York over any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the parties’ agreement to arbitrate or the enforcement of an arbitral award.  Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each party agrees that a final judgment, not subject to any further appeal, in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon it and will be given effect in its state or country of domicile, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and may be enforced in any Federal or State of New York court sitting in the State of New York, by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon it as specified in this Section or as otherwise permitted by law.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or waive a party’s right to remove a suit, action or proceeding to Federal court.

Further, each party hereby designates the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, or his successor or successors in office, as the 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 other party under this Agreement and arising out of this Agreement, and hereby designates the person named in the “Notice” provision of this Agreement as the person to whom the Superintendent or such successor is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

9

Each party hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to above in any Federal or State of New York court sitting in the State of New York by service of process as set forth above; provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, written notice of said service shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the other party at its address specified herein or to any other address of which such party shall have given notice.  Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such party in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such party.

Service of process may be affected in any other manner permitted by law. Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of a party to bring proceedings against the other party in any court having jurisdiction over such other party and such proceeding for the purpose of enforcing the parties’ agreement to arbitrate or to enforce an arbitral award.

Section 9.10.  Notice.  As used in this Agreement, notice shall mean any and all notices, requests, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder.  All notices shall be in writing and shall be (i) delivered personally, (ii) sent by an overnight delivery service, or (iii) sent by confirmed facsimile transmission, addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below.  Any such notice shall be deemed given (i) in the case of personal delivery, when so delivered personally, (ii) if sent by overnight delivery service, one day after delivery of such notice to such service, and (iii) if sent by confirmed facsimile transmission, at the time of transmission.
