AMENDMENT
Effective March 31, 2013, the Contract shall be amended as follows:

B. | The Reinsurer shall pay to the Company the Reinsurer’s quota share of loss under the Policies for Extra Contractual Obligations and Loss in Excess of Policy Limits covered under this Contract. |
C. | Notwithstanding the above, the Reinsurer’s liability shall not exceed its quota share of the following: |
1. | as respects Extra Contractual Obligations, Loss in Excess of Policy Limits and losses arising from class action suits, combined, from losses occurring during any one Contract Year, an amount equal to 3.0% of Combined Net Premium Earned as respects that Contract Year. |
2. | as respects Casualty business, $100,000 any one claim from Business Covered under this Contract plus such losses from Business Reinsured under the Underlying Agreement; |
3. | as respects Property business, $3,000,000 any one Catastrophe Loss Occurrence for such losses from Business Covered under this Contract plus such losses from Business Reinsured under the Underlying Agreement, and, as respects all such losses occurring during any one Contract Year, an amount equal to 3.0% of Combined Net Premium Earned as respects that Contract Year; |
4. | The Reinsurer’s liability for all losses shall not exceed an amount equal to 109% of Combined Net Premium Earned during any one Contract Year. |
However, the Reinsurer’s respective limits for such losses hereunder, as stated above, shall be reduced by any amounts paid for such losses under the Underlying Agreement. Further, any payments in excess of such limits made by the Reinsurer under the terms of the Underlying Agreement shall be reimbursed by the Company.
D. | It is agreed that the Combined Net Premium Earned for Policies subject to this Contract and the Underlying Agreement shall not exceed a “Premium Cap” equal to $100,000,000 as respects the first Contract Year hereunder and $125,000,000 as respects each Contract Year thereafter, unless accepted and approved in writing by the Reinsurer. In the event the Premium Cap would apply as respects any Contract Year, the quota share cession under paragraph A above shall be reduced to the same proportion that the Premium Cap less ceded Net Earned Premium under the Underlying Agreement bears to the Company’s Combined Net Premium Earned for such Contract Year. |
2. | Article 12 – Commission Adjustment – shall be amended to read: |
A. | The provisional commission allowed the Company under this Contract and the ceding commission allowed under the Underlying Agreement shall be adjusted at the end of each Contract Year in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. The adjusted commission rate shall be calculated as follows and be applied to Combined Net Premium Earned for the Contract Year under consideration: |
1. | if the ratio of Combined Losses Incurred to Combined Net Premium Earned is 72.00% or greater, the adjusted commission rate for the Contract Year under consideration shall be 22.00%; |
2. | if the ratio of Combined Losses Incurred to Combined Net Premium Earned is less than 72.00%, but not less than 59.33%, the adjusted commission rate for the Contract Year under consideration shall be 22.00%, plus 100.00% of the difference in percentage points between 72.00% and the actual ratio of Combined Losses Incurred to Combined Net Premium Earned; |
3. | if the ratio of Combined Losses Incurred to Combined Net Premium Earned is 59.33% or less, the adjusted commission rate for the Contract Year under consideration shall be 34.67%. |
B. | Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with the calendar quarter ending 12 months after the end of each Contract Year, until all losses subject to this Contract and the Underlying Agreement have been finally settled, the Company shall calculate and report the adjusted commission on Combined Net Premium Earned. Each calculation shall be based on cumulative transactions hereunder from the beginning of the Contract Year under consideration through the date of adjustment. If the adjusted commission on Combined Net Premium Earned for the Contract Year as of the date of adjustment is less than commissions previously allowed by the Reinsurer on Combined Net Premium Earned for the same Contract Year, the Company shall remit the difference to the Reinsurer with its report. However, such report and remittance shall be made by the Company to the Reinsurer starting with any quarter prior to 12 months after the end of each Contract Year if the ratio of paid Losses Incurred to Net Premiums Earned for that Contract Year exceeds 64.50%. If, for any calculation more than 24 months after expiration of each Contract Year, the adjusted commission on Combined Net Premium Earned is greater than commissions previously allowed by the Reinsurer on Combined Net Premium Earned for the same Contract Year, the Reinsurer shall remit the difference to the Company as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of the Company’s report. |
3. | The defined term for “Contract Year” shall be amended and the following defined terms shall be added as paragraphs I and J to Article 15 – Definitions – and shall read: |
C. | “Contract Year” means the nine-month period from March 31, 2013 to December 31, 2013 under this Contract and the 12-month period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 under the Underlying Agreement, and each respective 12-month period thereafter that this Contract and the Underlying Agreement continue in force shall be a separate Contract Year. If this Contract or the Underlying Agreement is terminated, however, the final Contract Year shall be from the beginning of the then current Contract Year through the date of termination. |
I. | “Combined Net Premium Earned” means the sum of Net Premiums Earned under this Contract plus ceded Net Earned Premium under the Underlying Agreement. |
J. | “Combined Losses Incurred” means ceded losses (including Extra Contractual Obligations and Loss in Excess of Policy Limits) paid as of the effective date of calculation, plus the ceded loss reserves outstanding, including loss incurred but not reported, as of the same date, under this Contract; plus, the ceded loss, judgments and all interest on said judgments, including Losses in Excess of Policy Limits and Extra Contractual Obligations under the Underlying Agreement, all respects each Contract Year. |
4. | Article 22 – Offset – shall be amended to read: |
A. | Each party to this Contract together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise, at any time, the right to offset any balance or balances due the other (or, if more than one, any other). Such offset may include balances due under this Contract and any other contracts or agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into between the parties regardless of whether such balances arise from premiums, losses, or otherwise, and regardless of capacity of any party, whether as assuming insurer and/or ceding insurer, under the various contracts or agreements involved, provided, however, that in the event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with any applicable law, statute or regulation governing such offset shall apply. |
B. | The Reinsurer together with its successors or assigns shall have and may exercise, at any time, the right to offset, against balances due under this Contract, any balance or balances that arise pursuant to the Underlying Agreement from the following: |
1. | Net Written Premium minus Net Written Premium collected, as defined in subparagraph (2) of Article 2 – Definitions – of the Underlying Agreement; |

4. | Costs and assessments, as outlined in Article 16 – Assessments and Assignments – of the Underlying Agreement. |
All other terms and conditions of the Contract shall remain unchanged.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Addendum to be executed by its duly authorized representative(s) this 28th day of March, in the year 2013.

1.5 This Agreement sets forth all of the duties and obligations between the Company and the Reinsurer and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous or written agreements with respect to matters referred to in this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or changed except by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.
ARTICLE 2—DEFINITIONS
2.1 “Policies” is defined as all policies, endorsements, certificates, contracts, agreements and binders of insurance issued or renewed by MGA or its designated representatives on or after the effective date of this Agreement on behalf of the Company.

2.3 “Loss in Excess of Policy Limits” (XPL) is defined as any amount which the MGA or its designated representatives pay or would have been contractually held liable to pay on behalf of the Company had it not been for the limit of the original Policy.
2.4 “Extra Contractual Obligation” (ECO) is defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Agreement which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, because of, but not limited to, failure by the MGA or its designated representatives on behalf of the Company to settle within the Policy limit, or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

Additionally, the reinsurance hereunder shall continue to apply as to Policies that must be issued or renewed, as a matter of state law or regulation or because an agent (appointed by the Company at the request of the Reinsurer) has not been timely canceled, or non-renewed, until the expiration dates on said Policies.
5.4 Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Reinsurer and the Company shall not be relieved or released from any obligation that relate to outstanding insurance business created by or under this Agreement.

5.6 Notices hereunder shall be provided in accordance with Article 24.2, hereof.

Accordingly, if such amounts flow through the Company, the Company agrees to forward such amounts to the other party. Moreover, the MGA shall be required to return any contingent commission in excess of any commissions actually earned. In the event that the MGA defaults on its obligation to settle contingent commission adjustments, the Reinsurer shall remain fully liable to the Company for all amounts otherwise due, and shall independently seek recovery from the MGA. The Reinsurer acknowledges that the Company is not responsible for any contingent commission adjustment.
ARTICLE 10—ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as soon as possible after discovery.
ARTICLE 11—INSPECTION OF RECORDS
11.1 All records pertaining to Policies issued on behalf of the Company subject to this Agreement shall be made available, upon providing five (5) business days advance written notice, to the Reinsurer or their representative or any duly appointed examiner for any State within the United States; and these records shall be kept in the State of Texas. The Reinsurer’s access to any records is conditioned, however, upon the Reinsurer’s fulfillment of its obligation to pay all undisputed amounts billed by the Company in a timely manner. Further, any refusal or delay by the Company in permitting the Reinsurer access to or inspection of records shall not excuse the Reinsurer’s other obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reinsurer is authorized to maintain duplicate working files of all such records outside the State of Texas.
11.2 The Company and the Reinsurer agree that neither will destroy any such records in their possession without the prior written approval of the other, except that the Company shall not be required to retain files longer than required by the guidelines set by the Texas Department of Insurance.
ARTICLE 12—OFFSET CLAUSE
12.1 The Company or the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this Agreement, with the exception of settling balances due to either the Reinsurer or the MGA from contingent commissions as set forth in Article 9.3.

12.2 The Reinsurer and the Company shall not offset obligations arising under this Agreement with obligations arising under any other agreement except to the extent permitted under state law and/or regulations.
ARTICLE 13—ARBITRATION
13.1 Unless both parties mutually agree to waive arbitration with respect to a particular dispute, the parties to this Contract hereby agree that binding arbitration shall be the sole remedy for any and all dispute(s) arising between them with reference to any transactions, terms, or conditions under this Contract including its formation and validity. Arbitration proceedings brought hereunder shall be referred for final determination to the majority decision of a Panel of three disinterested arbitrators. Notice of demand for arbitration shall be made in writing and shall be served via certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, on the Respondent to the Arbitration at the Respondent’s current address. The notice requesting arbitration shall identify the contract(s) involved in the dispute, the issues to be resolved in the view of the Petitioner, and the arbitrator selected by the Petitioner.
13.2 The Respondent shall appoint an arbitrator within 30 calendar days of receiving a request by the Petitioner in writing and served via certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to do so. At the same time as the appointment, the Respondent shall identify in writing any issues which in its view must be resolved in the arbitration proceeding and which were not identified by the Petitioner. If the Respondent fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 calendar days of being requested to do so, in writing, by the Petitioner, the Petitioner shall have the right to appoint the second arbitrator. Within 30 calendar days after their appointment, the two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator to act as umpire. If the two arbitrators do not agree as to the selection of a third arbitrator within 60 calendar days after their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be selected from a list of six individuals (three named by each arbitrator) by a judge of the federal district court in Dallas County, Texas.
13.3 Each arbitrator shall be a disinterested, active, or retired official or officer of an insurance or reinsurance company, not under the control or management of either party to this Contract.
13.4 Within 30 calendar days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the Petitioner and the Respondent shall each submit a statement of position to the Panel.
13.5 Within 60 calendar days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, each party shall provide the other with all books, records, and/or other documents relating to this agreement that are not otherwise protected from disclosure by either the work-product or attorney client privilege. For the purposes of this Article, the term “document” shall include electronic documents, including e-mails.
13.6 Within 30 calendar days following the exchange of documents, the Petitioner and the Respondent shall submit pre-hearing briefs to the Panel.
13.7 Unless some other location is mutually agreeable to the parties, arbitration proceedings shall take place within Dallas County, Texas. Arbitration shall commence as soon as practicable but in no event longer than 120 calendar days after selection of the third arbitrator with notice thereof to the parties. The specific time and site of arbitration shall be promptly agreed to by the parties, or if no agreement is reached, then determined by the Panel.
13.8 The Panel shall be relieved from applying the strict rules of evidence and/or procedure however the Panel is not relieved from applying the terms of this Agreement. Should either party fail to appear at an arbitration and/or fail to furnish the Panel with any subpoenaed papers or information, the Panel is empowered to proceed ex parte. The Panel shall make its award within 60 calendar days following the close of the hearing. The majority decision of the Panel shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be reduced to a written award, which may include factual findings, and shall be signed by any two of the three arbitrators, dated and delivered overnight to the parties. The Panel may award pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, as well as the costs associated with the arbitration, including attorney’s fees, but in no case shall the authority of the Panel extend to awarding punitive or exemplary damages. Judgment may be entered upon the award by any court having jurisdiction.
13.9 Each party will bear the expense of its own arbitrator, but shall equally share with the other the expense of the third arbitrator. In the event that the two arbitrators are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the two arbitrators, the third arbitrator and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the Petitioner and the Respondent.
Unless mutually agreed otherwise, a court reporter transcript shall be taken of the hearing with costs to be divided equally between the parties. The remaining costs of arbitration shall be allocated by the Panel.
13.10 The Arbitration proceeding brought hereunder, any or all provisions contained herein, and arbitration awards entered pursuant to this Article are specifically governed by, subject to and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, United States Code, Sections 1-14, as amended.)
13.11 Each party agrees that time is of the essence with respect to all terms and conditions referenced in this Article. All deadlines contained in this Article may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and if the Panel has been selected, the Panel’s agreement must also be obtained.
13.12 This Article shall survive the termination of this Contract.
ARTICLE 14—HONORABLE UNDERTAKING
The purposes of this Contract are not to be defeated by narrow or technical legal interpretations of its provisions. This Contract shall be construed as an honorable undertaking and should be interpreted for the purpose of giving effect to the intentions of the parties hereto.
ARTICLE 15—SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION
The Company may, in its sole discretion, pursue salvage and subrogation. The Reinsurer shall be credited with its proportional share of actual salvage or subrogation recoveries (i.e. reimbursement obtained or recoveries made by the Company), less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the Company, of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder.
ARTICLE 16—ASSESSMENTS AND ASSIGNMENTS
The Reinsurer hereby assumes liability for any and all costs, assessments or assignments imposed as a result of Policies reinsured hereunder (whether before or after the termination of this Agreement) levied or made by a guaranty fund, insolvency fund, plan, pool, association, or other arrangement created by statute or regulation including, but not limited to, assessments levied by the Volunteer Fire Departments, TAIPA or the Texas Property & Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association.
ARTICLE 17—CONSERVATION, LIQUIDATION OR INSOLVENCY
17.1 In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the Reinsurance afforded by this Agreement shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Company under the Policies, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of any State Law which may be involved except:
a. | where the Agreement specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company; or |
b. | where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured(s) has assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to the payees. |
17.2 In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the insolvent Company on a Policy within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. During the pendency of such claim, the 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 Company or its liquidator, receiver 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 the proportionate share of the benefits that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.
17.3 If two (2) 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.
17.4 As respects subject business assumed as reinsurance under this Agreement, the parties agree that if the Company has a conservator, liquidator, or receiver appointed for it, or becomes the subject of any conservation, liquidation or insolvency proceeding, and the Company is purchased and merged into another insurance entity, the acquiring insurance entity shall be substituted for the Company as payee of any reinsurance recoverable hereunder in respect of losses under Policies subject hereto, and the Reinsurer shall make payments thereof directly to the substituted insurer.
17.5 In the event the foregoing provisions apply, all the other provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the substituted insurer in the same manner as if said insurer were substituted for the Company as the reinsured party hereunder, and to the extent this Agreement reinsures such substituted insurer, coverage hereunder shall be excluded as respects the Company.
ARTICLE 18—REGULATORY MATTERS
18.1 It is the parties’ understanding that the Texas Department of Insurance views current premium due over ninety (90) calendar days past due (aged by item and effective date) from insureds or their designated representative to the Company as non-admitted assets.
18.2 The Reinsurer shall agree, at no cost to the Company, to take those actions (including, but not limited to, modifications in how funds are handled and how accounts are cleared and settled) as deemed necessary by the Company to ensure that the Company suffers no adverse impact because of this reinsurance program and is in compliance with the laws of the State of Texas and regulations promulgated by any governmental entity thereof, including the Texas Department of Insurance, insofar as this reinsurance program is concerned.
18.3 The parties acknowledge that the Company is subject to Article 5.144 of the Texas Insurance Code, which allows the Commissioner of Insurance to order refunds or discounts of premiums determined to be excessive or unfairly discriminatory. The Reinsurer agrees to be bound by any such determination by the Commissioner and to proportionately make any refund or provide any discount ordered by the Commissioner. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the run-off of all policies under Article 5 of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 19—LOSS IN EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS/EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
19.1 This Agreement shall protect the Company for one hundred percent (100%) of any Loss in Excess of Policy Limits (XPL) and/or one hundred percent (100%) of the Extra Contractual Obligations (ECO) which shall be deemed to be a loss under the Policy involved and shall be subject to this Agreement.
19.2 Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Agreement shall not apply to any Extra Contractual Obligation (ECO) incurred by the Company or the MGA as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company or the MGA acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.
ARTICLE 20—SAVINGS CLAUSE
20.1 If any law or regulation of any Federal, State or Local Government of the United States of America, or the ruling of officials having supervision over insurance companies or any arbitration panel, should prohibit or render this Agreement or any portion thereof illegal, as to risks or properties located in the jurisdiction of such authority, either the Company or the Reinsurer may, upon written notice to the other, suspend or abrogate this Agreement insofar as it relates to risks or properties located within such jurisdiction to such extent as may be necessary to comply with such law, regulation or ruling. Such illegality shall in no way affect any other portion thereof, provided, however, that the Reinsurer or the Company may terminate or suspend this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Business to which such law or regulation may apply.
20.2 Should any portion of this Agreement be held to be unenforceable by Arbitration or any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of such Agreement shall be construed as if originally written without the unenforceable portion thereof, giving effect to the extent possible of the original intent of the parties hereto as expressed in such Agreement as originally written.
ARTICLE 21 – UNAUTHORIZED (NON-ADMITTED) REINSURANCE
21.1 The Company agrees, in respect of its Policies falling within the scope of the Contract, that when it files with its insurance regulatory authority, or sets up on its books liabilities as required by law, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such liabilities applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer hereby agrees to secure delivery to the Company, a clean, irrevocable, evergreen, unconditional letter of credit drawn on a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and in accordance with the rules and regulations as set forth by the Texas Department of Insurance or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction, for an amount equal to 100% of the Reinsurer’s share of the reserves for unearned premium and outstanding losses and loss expenses, including incurred but not reported losses, less the amount of funds previously withheld for this program. The Company agrees to furnish the Reinsurer with necessary accounting data to establish the amount of such letter of credit.
Quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the Reinsurer’s Obligations for the sole purpose of amending the LOC or other method of funding, in the following manner:
1. | If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of the LOC as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within 15 (fifteen) days after receipt of the statement, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the LOC increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference. Should another method of funding be used, the Reinsurer shall, within the time period outlined above, increase such funding by the amount of such difference. |
2. | If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the balance of the LOC (or that 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the trust account balance if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement), as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 15 (fifteen) days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the LOC reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit. Should another method of funding be used, the Company shall, within the time period outlined above, decrease such funding by the amount of such excess. If the Company does not comply with a request for a reduction to the funding, the Company shall reimburse the Reinsurer for all funding costs. |
21.2 In the event the Reinsurer and the Company mutually agree, the Reinsurer may, instead of complying with Article 21.1, enter into a trust agreement and establish a trust account for the benefit of the Company in a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System, and in accordance with the rules and regulations as set forth by the Texas Department of Insurance or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction. Such amount required to be deposited into such trust account shall be determined in accordance with Article 21.1 above.
21.3 The assets deposited in the trust account shall be valued, according to their current fair market value, and shall consist only of cash, certificates of deposit, and/or investments of the types permitted by the Texas Insurance Code, Article 5.75-1 (d), provided that such investments are issued by an institution that is not the parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of either the guarantor or the beneficiary.
21.4 The trust agreement shall further require that all settlements of account between the Company and the Reinsurer be made in cash or its equivalent.
21.5 The Reinsurer and the Company hereby agree that the assets in the trust account established pursuant to this Agreement may be withdrawn by the Company at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement. Such withdrawals shall be utilized and applied by the Company or its successors in interest by operation of law, including without limitation any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator of such Company, without diminution because of insolvency on the part of the Company or the Reinsurer, only for the following purposes:
a. | to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of premiums returned to the owners of Policies reinsured under this Agreement on account of cancellations of such Policies; or |
b. | to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of surrenders and benefits or losses paid by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Policies reinsured under this Agreement; or |
c. | in the event of notice of termination of the trust, to fund an account with the Company in an amount at least equal to the Reinsurer’s share of reserves described in Article 21.1 above; or |
d. | to pay any other amounts due the Company under this Agreement. |
ARTICLE 22—FEDERAL EXCISE TAX
If the Reinsurer is subject to Federal Excise Tax, the Reinsurer agrees to allow, for the purpose of paying the Tax, the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code), to be deducted from the premium payable hereon, but only to the extent such premium is subject to Federal Excise Tax. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage of
the premium from the amount of the return, and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the Tax from the U.S. Government. As respects premiums ceded to the Reinsurer under this Agreement, the Reinsurer agrees to comply with United States Internal Revenue Service Ruling 2008-15 (or any modification thereof) and agree to indemnify the Company for any liability, expense, interest or penalty it may incur by reason of the Reinsurer’s breach of this Article.
ARTICLE 23—PROGRAM REVIEW
The Reinsurer acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to review the records of the Company and its MGA including but not limited to rate levels, rate filings, underwriting guidelines and claims handling. Although the Company may perform reviews as well, it is understood that the participation of the Reinsurer on this contract is based upon its continuing due diligence and not based upon due diligence performed by the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for monitoring the MGA, and any acts or omissions of the MGA will not serve to relieve the Reinsurer of its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 24—SERVICE OF SUIT (BRMA 49C)
24.1 It is agreed that in the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, will submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. Further, nothing in this Article should be construed as abrogating the requirements set forth in Article 13 that the parties must submit all disputes to binding arbitration.
24.2 Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which makes provision therefore, the Reinsurer hereby designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his successor or successors in office, as its 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 Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract.
ARTICLE 25—INTERMEDIARY
Neither party hereto has utilized the services of a Reinsurance Intermediary for any actions taken with regard to the negotiation, drafting, and/or execution of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 26 – EXCLUSIONS

11. | Any penalties, late fees, litigation expenses, arbitration fees or costs incurred as a result of late payment of PIP benefits. |

26.3. Business which is beyond the terms, conditions or limitations of this Contract may be submitted to the Reinsurer for special acceptance hereunder and such business, if accepted by the Reinsurer in writing, shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and limitations of this Contract except as modified by the special acceptance.
