by

The Subscribing Reinsurer(s) Identified
in the Interests and Liabilities Agreement(s)
Attached to and Forming Part of this Contract
(the “Reinsurer”)

Article I — Business Covered

This Contract is to indemnify the Company in respect of the liability that may accrue to the Company as a result of loss or losses under Policies classified by the Company as Alternative Workers’ Compensation (Section A) and/or Employers Liability (Section B), including losses arising from the United States Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, Jones Act, Federal Employers Liability Act, and any other Federal Act, in force at the effective date hereof or written or renewed during the term of this Contract by or on behalf of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions herein contained.

Article II — Retention and Limit

A.		As respects Section A, the Reinsurer shall be liable in respect of each Loss Occurrence, for the Ultimate Net Loss over and above an initial Ultimate Net Loss of $1,000,000, each Loss Occurrence, subject to a limit of liability to the Reinsurer of $4,000,000 each Loss Occurrence, and subject further to a limit of liability to the Reinsurer of $16,000,000 as respects all Loss Occurrences subject to this Contract.
B.		As respects Section B:

1.

The Reinsurer shall be liable for the difference between $1,000,000 Ultimate Net Loss in respect of each Loss Occurrence, and the following limits:

	a.		$100,000 Ultimate Net Loss for bodily injury per occurrence.
	b.		$500,000 Ultimate Net Loss for bodily injury per disease.
	c.		$100,000 Ultimate Net Loss for bodily injury per disease, per employee.

2.

The maximum amount of recovery for Loss Occurrences subject to this Contract as respects Section B is $3,000,000 in the aggregate.

C.

If one Loss Occurrence involves losses allocated to this Contract and its predecessor or successor contract, the Company’s retention for the Loss Occurrence shall be proportionate, with the amount of Ultimate Net Loss to be retained by the Company for each contract being reduced to that percentage which the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss attaching to each contract bears to the total of all the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss in respect of the same Loss Occurrence. The limit of the Reinsurer’s liability shall be calculated in the same manner.

Article III — Term

A.		This Contract shall take effect at 12:01 a.m., Local Standard Time at the place of the loss, July 1, 2009 applying to Loss Occurrences commencing at or after that time and date on Policies written or renewed during the term of this Contract, and shall remain in effect until 12:01 a.m., Local Standard Time at the place of the loss, July 1, 2010.
B.		The Reinsurer shall have no liability for Loss Occurrences commencing at or after expiration or termination (as provided in the Special Termination Article) of this Contract.
C.		However, upon mutual agreement between the Company and the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer shall remain liable hereunder in respect of Policies in force prior to expiration or termination, until the termination, natural expiration or renewal of such Policies, whichever occurs first. In such event, the Company shall pay to the Reinsurer an additional premium equal to the rate(s) set forth in the Rate and Premium Article, multiplied by the Gross Net Earned Premium Income during the run-off period, payable within 30 days after the end of each quarter.
D.		In the event this Contract expires or terminates on a run-off basis, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall continue if the Company is required by statute or regulation to continue coverage, until the earliest date on which the Company may cancel the Policy.

Article IV — Special Termination

A.

The Company may terminate a Subscribing Reinsurer’s percentage share in this Contract at any time by giving written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer in the event of any of the following circumstances:

	1.		The Subscribing Reinsurer ceases underwriting operations.
	2.		A state insurance department or other legal authority orders the Subscribing Reinsurer to cease writing business, or the Subscribing Reinsurer is placed under regulatory supervision.
	3.		The Subscribing Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation or receivership (whether voluntary or involuntary), or there have been instituted against it proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator,

			conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets or control of its operations.
	4.		The Subscribing Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus (or the equivalent under the Subscribing Reinsurer’s accounting system) as reported in such financial statements of the Subscribing Reinsurer as designated by the Company, has been reduced by 20.0% of the amount thereof at any date during the prior 12-month period (including the period prior to the inception of this Contract). This paragraph shall not apply should the Subscribing Reinsurer continue to have an A.M. Best’s rating of “A+.”
	5.		The Subscribing Reinsurer has merged with or has become acquired or controlled by any company, corporation, or individual(s) not controlling the Subscribing Reinsurer’s operations at the inception of this Contract.
	6.		The Subscribing Reinsurer has retroceded its entire liability under this Contract without the Company’s prior written consent.
	7.		The Subscribing Reinsurer has been assigned an A.M. Best’s rating of less than “A-” and/or an S&P rating of less than “BBB+.” However, as respects Underwriting Members of Lloyd’s, London, a Lloyd’s Market Rating of less than “A-” by A.M. Best and/or less than “BBB+” by S&P shall apply.

B.		Termination shall be effected on a run-off or cut-off basis as set forth in the Term Article, at the sole discretion of the Company. The reinsurance premium due the Subscribing Reinsurer hereunder (including any minimum reinsurance premium) shall be pro rated based on the period of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation hereon, and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall immediately return any excess reinsurance premium received. In the event that the Subscribing Reinsurer is terminated on a cut-off basis, the minimum reinsurance premium shall be waived. Reinstatement premium, if any, shall be calculated based on the Subscribing Reinsurer’s reinsurance premium earned during the period of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation hereon.
C.		Additionally, in the event of any of the circumstances listed in paragraph A of this Article, the Company shall have the option to commute the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability for losses on Policies covered by this Contract. In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on the commutation amount, they shall appoint an actuary and/or appraiser to assess such amount and shall share equally any expense of the actuary and/or appraiser. If the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on an actuary and/or appraiser, the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer each shall nominate three individuals, of whom the other shall decline two, and the final appointment shall be made by drawing lots. Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer of the amount of liability ascertained shall constitute a complete and final release of both parties in respect of liability arising from the Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation under this Contract.
D.		The Company’s option to require commutation under paragraph C above shall survive the termination or expiration of this Contract.

Article V — Territory

The territorial limits of this Contract shall be identical with those of the Company’s Policies.

	c.		If the claim is made after employment has ceased, the date of cessation of such employment.

3.

C.		“Gross Net Earned Premium Income” means gross earned manual premium for Policies covered hereunder adjusted for experience and schedule credit/debit modifications, State/NCCI safety credit and other allowable credits, premium discount, deductible credits, expense constants and Policy fees, less returns and cancellations and less the earned portion of premiums for Policies covered hereunder ceded by the Company for reinsurance that inures to the benefit of this Contract, if any.

			“Loss Adjustment Expense” does not include salaries and expenses of the Company’s employees, except as provided in subparagraph (7) above, and office and other overhead expenses.
E.			“Policy(ies)” means any binder, policy, or contract of insurance or reinsurance issued, accepted or held covered provisionally or otherwise, by or on behalf of the Company.
F.			“Occupational Disease,” “Other Disease” and “Cumulative Trauma” shall be defined by the applicable state or federal statutes, regulations, or case law having jurisdiction over such losses.

Article XIII — Extra Contractual Obligations / Excess of Policy Limits

A.			This Contract shall cover 90.0% of any Extra Contractual Obligations, as provided in the definition of Ultimate Net Loss. “Extra Contractual Obligations” shall be defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract and that arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, the following: failure by 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.
B.			This Contract shall cover 90.0% of any Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, as provided in the definition of Ultimate Net Loss. “Loss in Excess of Policy Limits” shall be defined as Loss in excess of the Policy limit, having been incurred because of, but not limited to, failure by 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.
C.			An Extra Contractual Obligation and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered under the Company’s Policy, and shall constitute part of the original loss.
D.			For the purposes of the Loss in Excess of Policy Limits coverage hereunder, the word “Loss” means any amounts for which the Company would have been contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original Policy.
E.			Loss Adjustment Expense in respect of Extra Contractual Obligations and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits shall be covered hereunder in the same manner as other Loss Adjustment Expense.
F.			However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to final legal adjudication of fraud of a member of the Board of Directors or a corporate officer of the Company 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.
G.			In no event shall coverage be provided to the extent not permitted under law.

Article XIV — Run-off Reinsurers

A.

“Run-off Reinsurer” means any Subscribing Reinsurer that:

	1.		has been ordered by a state insurance department or other legal authority to cease writing business, or has been placed under regulatory supervision or in rehabilitation; or
	2.		has ceased reinsurance underwriting operations; or
	3.		has transferred its claims-paying authority to an unaffiliated entity; or
	4.		in any other way has assigned its interests or delegated its obligations under this Contract to an unaffiliated entity.

B.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, in the event that a Subscribing Reinsurer becomes a Run-off Reinsurer at any time, the Company may elect, by giving written notice to the Run-off Reinsurer at any time thereafter, that all or any of the following shall apply to the Run-off Reinsurer’s participation hereunder:

	1.		If the Run-off Reinsurer does not pay a claim or raise a query concerning the claim within 30 days of billing, it shall be estopped from denying such claim and must pay immediately.
	2.		If payment of any claim has been received from Subscribing Reinsurers constituting at least 70.0% of the interests and liabilities of all Subscribing Reinsurers that participated on this Contract and are active as of the due date; it being understood that said date shall not be later than 90 days from the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such payment, the Run-off Reinsurer shall be estopped from denying such claim and must pay within 10 days following transmittal to the Run-off Reinsurer of written notification of such payments. For purposes of this subparagraph, a Subscribing Reinsurer shall be deemed to be active if it is not a Run-off Reinsurer.
	3.		Should the Run-off Reinsurer refuse to pay claims as required by subparagraphs B1 and/or B2 above, the interest penalty specified in the Late Payments Article shall be increased by 0.5% for each 30 days that a payment is past due, subject to a maximum increase of 7.0%.
	4.		The Run-off Reinsurer’s liability for losses for Policies covered by this Contract shall be commuted. In the event the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer cannot agree on the commutation amount, they shall appoint an actuary and/or appraiser to assess such amount and shall share equally any expense of the actuary and/or appraiser. If the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer cannot agree on an actuary and/or appraiser, the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer each shall nominate three individuals, of whom the other shall decline two, and the final appointment shall be made by drawing lots. Payment by the Run-off Reinsurer of the amount of liability ascertained shall constitute a complete and final release of both parties under this Contract.

	5.		The Run-off Reinsurer shall have no right of access to the Records of the Company if the Run-off Reinsurer has denied payment of any claim hereunder or there is a pending arbitration between the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer regarding any claim hereunder. A reservation of rights shall be considered a denial of a claim.
	6.		In the event that either party demands arbitration of a dispute between the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer, and the amount in dispute is less than $100,000, unless the arbitration notice includes a demand for rescission of this Contract, notwithstanding the terms of the Arbitration Article, the dispute shall be resolved by a sole arbitrator and the following procedures shall apply:

	a.		The sole arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties within 15 business days after the demand for arbitration. If the parties have not chosen an arbitrator within the 15 business days after the receipt of the arbitration notice, the arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the Neutral Arbitrator Selection Procedure modified for a single arbitrator, established by the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society — U.S. (ARIAS) and in force on the date the arbitration is demanded. The nominated arbitrator must be available to read any written submissions and hear testimony within 60 calendar days of being chosen.
	b.		Within 10 business days after the arbitrator has been appointed, the parties shall be notified of deadlines for the submission of briefs and documentary evidence, as determined by the arbitrator. There shall be no discovery or hearing unless the parties agree to engage in limited discovery and/or a hearing. Also, the arbitrator can determine, without the consent of the parties, that a limited hearing is necessary.
	c.		The arbitrator shall render a decision no later than 10 business days from the later of the date on which the briefs are submitted or the close of the hearing, if any. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be final and binding.

C.

The Company’s waiver of any rights provided in this Article is not a waiver of that right or other rights at a later date.

Article XV — Net Retained Liability

A.		This Contract applies only to that portion of any loss that the Company and/or its agents retains net for its own account (prior to deduction of any reinsurance that inures solely to the benefit of the Company).
B.		The amount of the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other reinsurer(s), whether specific or general, any amounts that may have become due from such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

Article XVI — Original Conditions

All reinsurance under this Contract shall be subject to the same terms, conditions, waivers and interpretations, and to the same modifications and alterations as the respective Policies of the Company. However, in no event shall this be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

Article XVII — No Third Party Rights

This Contract is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any insured, claimant or other third party have any rights under this Contract except as may be expressly provided otherwise herein.

B.		The Company alone and at its full discretion shall adjust, settle or compromise all claims and losses.
C.		As respects losses subject to this Contract, all loss settlements made by the Company, whether under strict Policy terms or by way of compromise, and any Extra Contractual Obligations and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay or allow, as the case may be, its share of each such settlement immediately upon receipt of proof of loss.

Article XIX — Mandatory Commutation

A.		Not later than 84 months after the effective date of this Contract, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer of the amount of all Ultimate Net Loss for all claims from business covered from any Loss Occurrence, both reported and unreported, both paid and not finally settled, that is the subject of this Contract. The Company and the Reinsurer or their respective representatives shall, within 60 days thereafter by mutual agreement, determine and capitalize (i.e., reduce to a net present value) the total of such Ultimate Net Loss for each Loss Occurrence.
B.		If the mutually agreed capitalized value of the Ultimate Net Loss for any Loss Occurrence is in excess of the Company’s retention for that Loss Occurrence, the Reinsurer shall pay the Company the amount, subject to the coverage provided under this Contract, of capitalized Ultimate Net Loss in excess of the Company’s retention for that Loss Occurrence less any amounts of Ultimate Loss previously paid by the Reinsurer to the Company for that Loss Occurrence.
C.		If mutual agreement cannot be reached, then any difference shall be settled by an appraisal made by a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so chosen. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an actuary within 30 days of a

		written request from the other party to appoint an actuary, the other party may appoint two actuaries. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within 30 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall decline one and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.
D.		All the actuaries shall be regularly engaged in the valuation of Workers’ Compensation claims and shall be Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society or Members of the American Academy of Actuaries. None of the actuaries shall be under the control of either party to this Contract.
E.		Each party shall submit its case to its chosen actuary within 30 days of the appointment of the third actuary. The decision in writing of any two appointed actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on all parties participating in the appraisal and judgment may be entered hereon in any court of competent jurisdiction.
F.		The expense of the actuaries and of their appraisal shall be equally divided between the Company and the Reinsurer.
G.		Payment of the profit commission by the Reinsurer to the Company or payment by Reinsurer of the amount of capitalized Ultimate Net Loss in excess of the Company’s retention for any Loss Occurrence less any amounts of Ultimate Net Loss previously paid by the Reinsurer to the Company for that Loss Occurrence, whether determined by mutual agreement or by the appraisal procedure set forth above, shall constitute a complete and final release of both parties as respects such claims and as respects any future claimants arising out of any Loss Occurrence so commuted. If the capitalized Ultimate Net Loss for any Loss Occurrence is determined to be below the Company’s retention, whether by mutual agreement or the appraisal procedure set forth above, such determination shall constitute a complete and final release of both parties as respects such claims and as respects any future claimants arising out of such Loss Occurrence.

Article XX — Sunset

	2.		Payments from the Company to the Reinsurer shall be due on the dates specified within this Contract. Payments shall be overdue 30 days thereafter except for the first installment of premium, if applicable, which shall be overdue 60 days from inception or 30 days from final line-signing, whichever the later.

E.		In the event arbitration is necessary to settle a dispute, the panel shall have the authority to make a determination awarding interest to the prevailing party. Interest, if any, awarded by the panel shall supersede the interest amounts outlined herein.
F.		Any interest owed pursuant to this Article may be waived by the party to which it is owed. Waiver of such interest, however, shall not affect the waiving party’s rights to other interest amounts due as a result of this Article.
G.		For purposes of this Article, reinsuring Underwriting Members of Lloyd’s, London, shall be considered to be one entity.

Article XXII — Currency

C.

The Reinsurer’s Obligations shall be funded by funds withheld, cash advances, Trust Agreement or a Letter of Credit (LOC). The Reinsurer shall have the option of determining the method of funding provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.

D.		When funding by an LOC, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional LOC issued by a bank and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the Reinsurer’s Obligations. Such LOC shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 30 days (or such other time period as may be required by insurance regulatory authorities), prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the LOC extended for any additional period.
E.		The Reinsurer and the Company agree that any funding provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, and be utilized by the Company or any successor, by operation of law, of the Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company, for the following purposes, unless otherwise provided for in a separate Trust Agreement:

	1.		to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and that has not been otherwise paid;
	2.		to make refund of any sum that is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement);
	3.		to fund an account with the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations. Such cash deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer. Any taxes payable on accrued interest shall be paid out of the assets in the account that are in excess of the Reinsurer’s Obligations (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement). If the assets are inadequate to pay taxes, any taxes due shall be paid by the Reinsurer;
	4.		to pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

F.		If the amount drawn by the Company is in excess of the actual amount required for E(1) or E(3), or in the case of E(4), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of the Company or the Reinsurer.
G.		The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company.
H.		At annual intervals, or more frequently at the discretion of the Company, but never more frequently than 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 30 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 30 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.

Article XXVIII — Insolvency

A.		If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the Preamble to this Contract, this Article will apply severally to each such company. Further, this Article and the laws of the domiciliary state will apply in the event of the insolvency of any company covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company covered hereunder, that domiciliary state’s laws will prevail.
B.		In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance (or the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, if required by applicable law) shall be payable directly to the Company, or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, either: (1) on the basis of the liability of the Company, or (2) on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable statute, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Company indicating the Policy or bond reinsured, which claim would involve a possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that 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 that it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.
C.		Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this reinsurance Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.
D.		As to all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Contract, the reinsurance shall be payable as set forth above by the Reinsurer to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, (except as provided by Section 4118(a)(1)(A) of the New York Insurance Law, provided the conditions of 1114(c) of such law have been met, if New York law applies) or except (1) where the

Contract specifically provides another payee in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or (2) where the Reinsurer, with the consent of the direct insured or insureds, 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 such payees. Then, and in that event only, the Company, with the prior approval of the certificate of assumption on New York risks by the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, or with the prior approval of such other regulatory authority as may be applicable, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurer shall pay any loss directly to payees under such Policy.

Article XXIX — Arbitration

Notice requesting arbitration will be in writing and sent certified registered mail, return receipt requested.
B.		One arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing.

C.		If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.
D.		All arbitrators shall be disinterested active or former executives of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, with expertise or experience in the area being arbitrated.

E.		Within 45 days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings.
F.		The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, the arbitrators may at their discretion, consider underwriting and placement information provided by the Company to the Reinsurer, as well as any correspondence exchanged by the parties that is related to this Contract. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration shall take place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but the venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. The decision of any two arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief, as it may deem appropriate.
G.		The panel shall make its decision considering the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business within 60 days following the termination of the hearings. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

H.

Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator. The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the panel. The panel may, at its discretion, award such further costs and expenses as it considers appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law.

C.		In the event of the failure of the Reinsurer to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall 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. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against the Reinsurer upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.
D.		Service of process in such suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829, or another party specifically designated in the applicable Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto. The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit.
E.		Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates 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, and hereby designates the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

The Contract may not be modified or changed except by an amendment to this Contract in writing signed by both parties.

Article XXXIV — Non-Waiver

The failure of the Company or the Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedy contained herein nor stop either party from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent either party from exercising such rights or remedy in the future.

Article XXXV — Change in Administrative Practices

The Company undertakes not to introduce any change in its established acceptance and underwriting policy in respect of the business covered hereunder without prior approval of the Reinsurer.
