EXHIBIT 10.13 (19)
ADDENDUM NO. 3
TO
QUOTA SHARE REINSURANCE AGREEMENT
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST 2000
BETWEEN
PAFCO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
(HEREAFTER CALLED THE "COMPANY")
AND
NATIONAL UNION FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY OF
PITTSBURGH, PA.
(HEREAFTER CALLED THE "REINSURER")
It is understood and agreed that effective January 1st, 2002 the following
articles are amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE II TERM AND TERMINATION
The agreement commences at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, January 1, 2000 and
shall remain in force until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard time, December 31, 2002.
Either party may terminate effective on the first day of any calendar quarter
with 60 days advance written notice. The Reinsurer shall remain liable for loss
under reinsured policies effective prior to the termination date.
ARTICLE IV QUOTA SHARE PARTICIPATION
The aggregate quota share cession shall be at the option of the Company and
subject to a maximum of 75%. However, the maximum cession will be limited to
$20,000,000 of new written premium (ie.not including in-force cession from
December 31st, 2001) for the calendar year 2002. In the event this produces
more than $20,000,000 for the calendar year, the dollar amount of cessions shall
be reduced to $20,000,000 plus the cession of in-force business from December
31st, 2001. The average quota share percent applicable for the Company shall be
the ratio of the adjusted dollar cession to the gross subject written premium
for the Company for that year. Each quarter shall be adjusted by an equal
pro-rata percent to produce the dollar cession applicable. This limit can be
increased by mutual agreement between the Reinsurer and the Company. The Company
shall notify the Reinsurer prior to the last day of the calendar quarter of the
quota share percent for that quarter. That percent shall also apply to the
in-force business at the beginning of the quarter. It is agreed that the
cession for any one quarter, including the change in in-force, shall not exceed
35% of the total cession for the calendar year. In the event the declared
percent cession for a calendar quarter produces premiums in excess of 35% of the
premium ceded for the calendar year the cessions for that quarter shall be
adjusted to the dollar amount that would equal 35% of the premium ceded for the
year.
The Reinsurer's liability for aggregate losses, including allocated loss
adjustment expenses (and
unallocated loss adjustment expenses where applicable under REPORTS AND
ACOCUNTING),
shall be limited to 97% of earned premium ceded for all business from January
1st, 2002 to the calculation date.
ARTICLE VI PREMIUM AND COMMISSION
For business effective prior to 2002, however, excluding business in-force on
December 31st, 2001:
The Company will pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the pro rata share of
premium applicable
on all policies ceded and the Reinsurer shall allow the company a minimum and
provisional
ceding commission of 18% on such premium. The ceding commission slides 1 for 1
for each 1.0% decrease in the Loss Ratio below 79% up to a maximum ceding
commission of 31% at a 66% loss ratio. This calculation shall be from January
1st, 2000 to date for all business ceded effective in all calendar quarters
including the in-force business from December 31st, 2000.
For business in-force on December 31st, 2001 and with effective dates in 2002:

premium applicable on all policies ceded. This would be the sum of new written
premiums in the quarter plus or minus the change in unearned premium ceded at
the beginning of the quarter as the result of a change in the percent ceded.
The Reinsurer shall allow the company a minimum and provisional ceding
commission of 18% on such premium. The ceding commission slides 1 for 1 for
each 1.0% decrease in the Loss Ratio below 78.625% up to a maximum ceding
commission of 31% at a 65.625 loss ratio. This calculation shall be from
January 1st, 2002 to date of calculation. The first payment, if any, shall be
