risks MIC reinsures under the Policies, less any recoveries MIC
4
realizes through reinsurance (other than that effected by this Agreement) or

follow the fortunes of MIC in all respects.

over MIC and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
The Retrocessionaire hereby agrees the letter of credit will provide for
automatic extension of the letter of credit without amendment for one year from
the date of expiration of said letter or any future expiration date unless
thirty (30) days prior to an expiration the issuing bank shall notify MIC by
overnight mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the letter of credit
renewed for any additional period. The Retrocessionaire and MIC agree the
letters of credit provided by Retrocessionaire pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other

rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of MIC for the following purposes:

matters pertaining to the retrocession hereunder in respect of the Business and
each shall have free access at any reasonable time to such books and records of

rendered solely to the other party. In the event of the insolvency of MIC, the
liability of the Retrocessionaire shall be modified to the extent set forth in
Article XIII of this Agreement. In no event shall any policyholder, insured, or
reinsured of MIC or of any of MIC's reinsurers have any rights under this
Agreement.
ARTICLE XII
(Termination)
A. Termination of Agreement.
Either party may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party.
Termination shall be effective on the date specified in the notice, which shall
be the first day of a calendar month and which shall not be less than thirty
(30) days after the date on which the notice is given. Beginning at 12:01 a.m.
Local Standard Time at the mailing address of MIC on the Termination Date, no
further risks shall be retroceded under this Agreement with respect to new or
renewal Policies which become effective on or after the Termination Date.
Within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, MIC shall provide the
Retrocessionaire with a statement (the "Termination Statement") identifying each
of the items set forth in Article V.A. through Article V.C. of this Agreement
for the calendar quarter, or part thereof, ending on the Termination Date. After
receiving the Termination Statement, the Retrocessionaire shall determine the
Retained Underwriting Losses in accordance with Article II, Paragraph B hereof,
provided that, for this purpose, the period between January 1 of the year of
termination and the Termination Date shall be treated as a calendar year. Within
thirty (30) days after receiving the Termination Statement, the Retrocessionaire
shall provide MIC a statement (the "Final Retained Statement") setting forth the
Retained Underwriting Losses for the portion of the calendar year ending on the
Termination Date.
11
If the amount of the Reinsurance Balance shown in the Termination Statement
minus the excess of the Termination Premium over the sum of the Deferred
Acquisition Costs as of the Termination Date and the Retained Underwriting
Losses shown in the Final Retained Statement is a negative amount, the
Retrocessionaire shall remit that amount to MIC with the Final Retained
Statement, and if such amount is positive, MIC shall remit that positive amount
to the Retrocessionaire within fifteen (15) days after receiving the Final
Retained Statement. The Retrocessionaire shall be entitled to any refund or
credit of Excise Taxes relating to the amount of the Termination Premium.
Termination of this Agreement shall relieve the Retrocessionaire of any
obligations in respect of risks retroceded to the Retrocessionaire hereunder
prior to the date and time of termination, and any and all such obligations
shall be fully discharged.
B. Termination of Subsidiary Capital Account.
In the event that the Retrocessionaire redeems or repurchases a series of
its shares in respect of which it maintains a Subsidiary Capital Account, no
further risks with respect to new or renewal Policies which become effective
after the effective date and time of such redemption or repurchase attributable
to the Subsidiary Capital Account related to the redeemed shares (the "Related
SCA") shall be retroceded under this Agreement. MIC shall include in the
Quarterly Report for the period in which such redemption or repurchase occurs
Business attributable to the Related SCA through the effective date of
redemption or repurchase. Such report shall include for the Related SCA the
information described in Article V.A.4.ii. and Article V.B.5.ii. calculated as
of the effective date of redemption or repurchase.
MIC shall recapture the Business that it has ceded to the Retrocessionaire
through the effective date of such a redemption or repurchase and that is
attributable to the Related SCA. In consideration of such Business recapture,
the Retrocessionaire shall pay MIC a premium ("Recapture Premium") equal to the
Unearned Premium Reserve plus the discounted amount of the Loss Reserve as
determined under section 846 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
attributable to the Related SCA as of the effective date of the redemption or
repurchase. The Retrocessionaire shall be entitled to offset the
12
Recapture Premium by the amount of Deferred Acquisition Costs attributable to
the Related SCA as of the effective date of the redemption or repurchase. The
Retrocessionaire shall pay MIC the Recapture Premium within thirty (30) days
after the Retrocessionaire receives the Quarterly Report for the period
encompassing the effective date of redemption or repurchase of the shares to
which the recapture relates. The Retrocessionaire shall be entitled to any
refund or credit of Excise Taxes relating to the amount of the Recapture
Premium. MIC's recapture of the Business attributable to the Related SCA shall
extinguish any and all of the Retrocessionaire's obligations to MIC under the
terms of this Agreement for such recaptured Business.
ARTICLE XIII
(Insolvency of MIC)
In the event of the insolvency of MIC, the retrocession afforded under this
Agreement shall be payable by the Retrocessionaire, on the basis of the
liability of MIC under the contract or contracts retroceded, without diminution
because of such insolvency or because MIC or its liquidator, receiver,
conservator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or any portion of any
claim. Such payment shall be made directly to MIC or to its liquidator,
receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, unless the Retrocessionaire, with
the consent of the parties who are directly insured or reinsured by MIC as part
of the Business, has assumed the obligations of MIC as the Retrocessionaire's
direct obligations to such parties, in substitution for the obligations of MIC
to such parties. The Retrocessionaire shall be given notice of the pendency of
each Claim which may involve such reinsurance within a reasonable time after
such Claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. The Retrocessionaire shall
have the right, at its own expense, to investigate each such Claim and to
interpose, in the proceedings where the Claim is to be adjudicated, any defense
which it may deem available to MIC or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or
statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Retrocessionaire shall be
chargeable, subject to court approval, against MIC, as part of the expense of
conservation or liquidation, but only to the extent of the benefit realized by
MIC as a result of the defense undertaken by the Retrocessionaire.
13
ARTICLE XIV
(Insolvency of the Retrocessionaire)
In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation,
or liquidation of the Retrocessionaire, MIC may retain all or any portion of any
amount then due or which may become due to the Retrocessionaire under this
Agreement, and may use such amounts for the purpose of discharging any and all
liabilities of the Retrocessionaire under this Agreement. When all such
liabilities have been discharged, MIC shall pay to the Retrocessionaire or its
liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor any remaining balance of such
amounts.
ARTICLE XV
(Arbitration)
It is the intention of MIC and the Retrocessionaire that the customs and
practices of the insurance industry shall be given full effect in the operation
and interpretation of this Agreement. The parties agree to act in all things
with the highest good faith. If MIC or the Retrocessionaire cannot mutually
resolve any dispute that arises out of or relates to this Agreement, whether
such dispute arises before or after termination of this Agreement, the dispute
shall be decided through arbitration.
This Agreement and the performance of the parties hereunder shall be
interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of
Michigan. The arbitrators shall consider this Agreement as an honorable
engagement rather than as a mere legal obligation and they shall reach their
decision from the standpoint of equity and the customs and practices of the
insurance industry rather than solely from the standpoint of a strict
interpretation of the applicable substantive and procedural law.
To initiate arbitration, either MIC or the Retrocessionaire shall notify
the other party in writing of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of its
dispute and the remedy sought. The party to which the notice is sent shall
respond to the notification in writing within ten (10) days of it receipt. At
that time, the party also shall assert any dispute it may have that arises out
of or relates to this Agreement.
14
The arbitration hearing shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, each
of whom must be a present or former officer of a property, casualty insurance
company authorized to do business in the United States other than MIC and the
Retrocessionaire or either's affiliates. MIC and the Retrocessionaire shall each
appoint one arbitrator by written notification to the other party within
twenty-five (25) days of the date of the mailing of the notification initiating
the arbitration. These two arbitrators shall then select the third arbitrator
within fourteen (14) days after their selection. Should either MIC or the
Retrocessionaire fail to appoint an arbitrator, or should the two arbitrators be
unable to agree upon the choice of a third arbitrator, such appointment shall be
left to the President, for the time being, of the Barbados Bar Association. Once
selected, the arbitrators are empowered to decide all substantive and procedural
issues involved by a majority of votes.
The arbitration hearing shall be held on the date and the place fixed by
the arbitrators and agreed to by MIC and the Retrocessionaire. In no event shall
this date be later than six (6) months after the appointment of the third
arbitrator. The arbitrators shall establish prearbitration procedures as
warranted by the facts and issues of the particular case. Within twenty (20)
days after the end of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrators shall issue a
written award, from which there shall be no appeal and which any court having
jurisdiction of the subject matter and the parties may reduce to judgment.
In their award, the arbitrators shall apportion the costs of arbitration,
including, but not be limited to, their own fees and expenses, as they deem
appropriate.

referred to in this Agreement shall be in writing in English and shall be given

Retrocessionaire will be considered "issued and outstanding" as of the later of
(i) the first day of the month following the date on which the Retrocessionaire
has received and accepted one or more executed stock purchase agreements for all
shares of the particular series, provided that such shares are ultimately
issued, or (ii) the first day of the month following the date on which Agreement

Directors of the Retrocessionaire determines to terminate further retrocessions
in respect of the particular series.
