following:
(a) Repayment of the Ceding Commission in the amount of Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000), plus simple interest thereon at the rate of 12%
per annum from the effective date of the Hannover Treaty, such repayment to be
made from the cumulative statutory net income derived from the Ceded Block
within five years after the effective date of the Hannover Treaty, provided,
however, the maximum amount which PAMCO shall be obligated to pay pursuant to
this Section 1(a) shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) less the
cumulative amount of the overrides paid to NIA Corporation, a Colorado
corporation, with respect to the Ceded Block within the five year period after
the effective date of the Hannover Treaty;
(b) Interest on the amount to be paid by PAMCO to RCH pursuant
to Section 1(a) hereto at the rate of 12% per annum from the date hereof; and

PAMCO written notice setting forth calculation of the repayment of the Ceding
Commission for each quarter within a reasonable time after the end of each
quarterly period. The amount of repayment to be credited against the Ceding
Commission for each period shall be (i) the amount of the statutory net income
derived from the Ceded Block during such period, minus (ii) interest at the rate
of 12% per annum, for such period, on the amount of the Ceding Commission which
had not been repaid at the start of such period.
SECTION 3. Guaranty Absolute. PAMCO guarantees that the Obligations
will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Hannover
Treaty regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in
any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of RCH with respect
thereto, except the provisions of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department Act of
1921, as amended (the "Code"). The liability of PAMCO under this Agreement shall

part of the Obligations;
(b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from
PILIC, any affiliate of PILIC or PAMCO, or any other person or guarantor;

its security interest in, or preserve its rights to, any security or collateral
for the Obligations;

long as this Agreement is in effect and until such time as the Obligations,
together with interest, fees and all other obligations hereunder, have been paid
in full it shall:

bankruptcy of any of PAMCO or PILIC, protest or notice with respect to the
Obligations and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Agreement will

instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, RCH may,
at its election, proceed directly and at once, upon 10 days prior written
notice, against PAMCO to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of
the Obligations, without first proceeding against PILIC any other person or
against any security or collateral for the Obligations. RCH shall have the

enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral. RCH is hereby
authorized, upon ten (10) days prior written notice, and without affecting the
liability of PAMCO hereunder, from time to time, to apply such security or
collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in its sole
discretion it may determine.
At any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, RCH may, in its
sole discretion, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to PAMCO and regardless
of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof,
appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Obligations (i) any indebtedness
due or to become due from RCH to PAMCO or PILIC, and (ii) any moneys, credits or
other property belonging to PAMCO or PILIC, at any time held by or coming into
the possession of RCH.
SECTION 8. Subrogation. PAMCO hereby waives and relinquishes any right
to subrogation or other right or claim to payment against PILIC arising out of
or on account of any sum paid or agreed to be paid by PAMCO under this
Agreement, whether such right to claim is liquidated, unliquidated, fixed,
contingent, matured or unmatured, so long as this Agreement is in effect and
until such time as the Obligations, together with interest, fees and all other
obligations hereunder, have been paid in full. PAMCO acknowledges that PAMCO
will receive direct and indirect benefits from the arrangements contemplated by
the Stock Purchase Agreement and that the waiver set forth herein is knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits. PAMCO also waives all setoffs and
counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices
of acceptance of this Agreement. PAMCO further waives all notices (other than
those required pursuant to this Agreement) that the Obligations, any portion
thereof and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any
part of the Obligations are due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect
from PILIC or any other person all or any part of the Obligations, and, to the
extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling
of any security or collateral given to RCH to secure payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 9. Marshaling of Assets. PAMCO consents and agrees that RCH
shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of PAMCO or
against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. PAMCO further agrees
that, to the extent that PAMCO or PILIC makes any payment or payments to RCH, or
RCH receives any proceeds of collateral, which payment or payments or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside and/or required to be repaid to such person, its estate, trustee,
receiver or any other party, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment,
the Obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such
amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date
such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.
SECTION 10. Amendments, Etc. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by PAMCO and RCH. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor
consent to any departure by a party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the other party to this
Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be

pursuant to this Agreement and if such default shall remain uncured for a period

connection with this Agreement at any time after the Obligations become due, as
herein provided, in any court in or of the State of Ohio or elsewhere, and
waives the issuance and service of process with respect thereto, and irrevocably
authorizes and empowers any such attorney-at-law to confess judgment in favor of
RCH against PAMCO, the amount due thereon or hereon, plus interest as herein
provided, and all costs of collection, and waives and releases all errors in
said proceedings and judgments and all
rights of appeal from the judgment rendered. PAMCO agrees and consents that the
attorney confessing judgment on behalf of PAMCO may also be counsel to RCH or
any of RCH's affiliates, waives any conflict of interest which might otherwise
arise, and consents to RCH paying such confessing attorney a reasonable legal
fee or allowing such attorney's reasonable fees to be paid from the proceeds of

security for the Obligations.
