Article 28 - Arbitration A. As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Contract, it is hereby mutually agreed that such dispute or difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One Arbiter shall be chosen by the Company, the other by the Reinsurer, and an Umpire shall be chosen by the two Arbiters before they enter upon arbitration, all of whom shall be active or retired disinterested executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Xxxxx'x London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within 30 days following a written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within 30 days following their appointment, each Arbiter shall nominate three candidates within 10 days thereafter, two of whom the other shall decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. B. Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within 30 days following the date of appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall consider this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the Arbiters shall be final and binding on both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the Umpire and the decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. C. If more than one Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such Subscribing Reinsurers shall, at the option of the Company, constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the Subscribing Reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such Subscribing Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint,
21\F7V1118 Page 18 defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Subscribing Reinsurers participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint. D. Each party shall bear the expense of its own Arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the Umpire and of the arbitration. In the event that the two Arbiters are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the Arbiters, the Umpire and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two parties. E. Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the state in which the Company has its principal office. Article 29 - Service of Suit (BRMA 49C) (Applicable if the Reinsurer is not domiciled in the United States of America, and/or is not authorized in any State, Territory or District of the United States where authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities) A. 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 a 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. B. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which makes provision therefor, 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 30 - Severability (BRMA 72E) If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such provision shall be considered void in such state, but this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Contract or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Article 31 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B) This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

21\F7V1118 Page 1 of 2 Pools, Associations and Syndicates Exclusion Clause (Catastrophe) It is hereby understood and agreed that: A. This Contract excludes loss or liability arising from: 1. Business derived directly or indirectly from any pool, association, or syndicate which maintains its own reinsurance facilities. This subparagraph 1 shall not apply with respect to: a. Residual market mechanisms created by statute. This Contract shall not extend, however, to afford coverage for liability arising from the inability of any other participant or member in the residual market mechanism to meet its obligations, nor shall this Contract extend to afford coverage for liability arising from any claim against the residual market mechanism brought by or on behalf of any insolvency fund (as defined in the Insolvency Fund Exclusion Clause incorporated in this Contract). For the purposes of this Clause, the California Earthquake Authority shall be deemed to be a "residual market mechanism." b. Inter-agency or inter-government joint underwriting or risk purchasing associations (however styled) created by or permitted by statute or regulation. 2. Those perils insured by the Company that the Company knows, at the time the risk is bound, to be insured by or in excess of amounts insured or reinsured by any pool, association or syndicate formed for the purpose of insuring oil, gas, or petro-chemical plants; oil or gas drilling rigs; and/or aviation risks. This subparagraph 2 shall not apply: a. If the total insured value over all interests of the risk is less than $250,000,000. b. To interests traditionally underwritten as Inland Marine or Stock or Contents written on a blanket basis. c. To Contingent Business Interruption liability, except when it is known to the Company, at the time the risk is bound, that the key location is insured by or through any pool, association or syndicate formed for the purpose of insuring oil, gas, or petro-chemical plants; oil or gas drilling rigs; and/or aviation risks; unless the total insured value over all interests of the risk is less than $250,000,000. B. With respect to loss or liability arising from the Company's participation or membership in any residual market mechanism created by statute, the Company may include in its ultimate net loss only amounts for which the Company is assessed as a direct consequence of a covered loss occurrence, subject to the following provisions: 1. Recovery is limited to perils otherwise protected hereunder. 2. In the event the terms of the Company's participation or membership in any such residual market mechanism permit the Company to recoup any such direct
21\F7V1118 Page 2 of 2 assessment attributed to a loss occurrence by way of a specific policy premium surcharge or similar levy on policyholders, the amount received by the Company as a result of such premium surcharge or levy shall reduce the Company's ultimate net loss for such loss occurrence. 3. The result of any rate increase filing permitted by the terms of the Company's participation or membership in any such residual market mechanism following any assessment shall have no effect on the Company's ultimate net loss for any covered loss occurrence. 4. The result of any premium tax credit filing permitted by the terms of the Company's participation or membership in any such residual market mechanism following any assessment shall reduce the Company's ultimate net loss for any covered loss occurrence. 5. The Company may not include in its ultimate net loss any amount resulting from an assessment that, pursuant to the terms of the Company's participation or membership in the residual market mechanism, the Company is required to pay only after such assessment is collected from the policyholder. 6.
