PROPERTY EXCESS PER RISK

REINSURANCE CONTRACT

(the “Contract”)

between

HERITAGE PROPERTY & CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY

Clearwater, Florida

including any and/or all of the subsidiary or affiliate companies that are now or may

hereafter come under the ownership, management and/or control of the Company

(collectively the “Company”)

and

THE SUBSCRIBING REINSURER(S) EXECUTING THE

INTERESTS AND LIABILITIES AGREEMENT(S)

ATTACHED HERETO

(the “Reinsurer”)

ARTICLE I

BUSINESS COVERED

By this Contract the Reinsurer agrees to reinsure the excess liability of the Company under its Policies in force at the effective time and date hereof or assumed, issued or renewed at or after that time and date, and classified by the Company as Property business, including but not limited to Personal Residential and Commercial Residential, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereafter set forth.

ARTICLE II

TERM

This Contract shall become effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, June 27, 2014, with respect to losses occurring at or after that time and date, and shall continue in effect until 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, June 1, 2015, or until such time as this Contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the SPECIAL TERMINATION ARTICLE.

B.	Upon expiration or termination of this Contract, the Reinsurer shall be relieved of all liability hereunder for losses occurring with dates of loss subsequent to the time and date of expiration or termination of this Contract.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

Notwithstanding the above, upon expiration or termination of this Contract, the Company shall have the option of requiring that the Reinsurer remain liable for losses occurring under Policies in force at the time and date of expiration or termination of this Contract in respect of all losses occurring from the effective date of the Policy to the end of the run-off period by providing written notification to the Reinsurer within 30 days after the termination or expiration of this Contract. As respects each Policy ceded to this Contract, “run-off” period means the period from the expiration or termination (if applicable) of this Contract up to the first anniversary date, termination, or natural expiration date of such Policies or until 12 months plus odd time not to exceed 18 months in all following the date of expiration or termination, whichever occurs first. However, should the Company elect termination or expiration on a “run-off” basis, in the event that any Policy subject to this Contract is required by statute, regulation or by order of an insurance department to be continued in force, the Reinsurer agrees to extend reinsurance coverage hereunder with respect to such Policy until such Policy may be canceled or non-renewed by the Company, but in no event beyond 36 months following the effective time and date of termination or expiration of this Contract.

If this Contract is terminated or expires while a Loss Occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Contract, be determined as if the entire Loss Occurrence had occurred prior to the termination or expiration of this Contract, provided that no part of such Loss Occurrence is claimed against any renewal or replacement of this Contract.

ARTICLE III

SPECIAL TERMINATION

A.	The Company may terminate the share of the Reinsurer at any time, upon said Reinsurer experiencing one or more of the Special Termination Event(s). A “Special Termination Event” shall be deemed to have occurred in the event of any of the following circumstances:

A State Insurance Department or other legal authority orders the Reinsurer to cease writing business;

The Reinsurer has voluntarily ceased assuming new and renewal reinsurance business for the lines of business covered hereunder;

The 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, or trustee in bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets or control of its operations;

For any period not exceeding 12 months, which commences no earlier than 12 months prior to the inception of this Contract, the Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus (or total stamp capacity by managing agent as respects Lloyd’s of London syndicates), as reported in the financial statements of the Reinsurer, has been reduced by 20%;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

The Reinsurer has become merged with, acquired or controlled by any company, corporation, or individual(s) not controlling the Reinsurer’s operations previously;

The Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s Financial Strength Rating has been assigned or downgraded below “A-”;

The Reinsurer’s Standard and Poor’s Financial Strength Rating has been assigned or downgraded below “BBB+” or, as respects Lloyd’s of London, the Standard and Poor’s Rating of the Lloyd’s Market has been assigned or downgraded below “BBB+”;

The Reinsurer has reinsured its entire liability under this Contract without the Company’s prior written consent;

The Reinsurer has transferred its claims-paying authority under this Contract to an unaffiliated entity or in any other way has assigned its interests or delegated its obligations under this Contract to an unaffiliated entity without the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer of claims-paying authority or administration to a third party, where the Reinsurer maintains control over claims settlement decisions, shall not constitute a transfer of its claims-paying authority for purposes of this subparagraph; or

10.

The Reinsurer, directly or through the actions of a parent company or an affiliated entity, has invoked any U.S. or foreign statute, legislation, or jurisprudence that purports to enable the Reinsurer to require the Company to settle its claims liabilities, including but not limited to any estimated or undetermined claims liabilities under this Contract, on an accelerated basis. This does not include any attempt to enforce a settlement of claims liabilities under a commutation process to which the parties have agreed.

Unless it is prohibited by law from doing so, immediately upon the Reinsurer’s knowledge of a Special Termination Event, the Reinsurer must notify the Company of such event in writing, by electronic mail, certified mail, or a nationally or internationally recognized delivery service.

Where a Special Termination event has taken place and after giving the Reinsurer prior written notice by electronic mail, certified mail, or by a nationally or internationally recognized delivery service, the Company may terminate or reduce the Reinsurer’s share hereunder effective at any time following the Reinsurer’s receipt of the written notice. In such event the Company may elect that:

As respects each Policy in force at the date of termination or reduction, the Reinsurer shall remain liable for all losses occurring from the effective date of the Policy to the end of the run-off period, as provided in paragraph C of the TERM ARTICLE; or

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

The entire liability of the Reinsurer for losses occurring subsequent to the date of termination shall cease concurrently with the date of termination and any minimum premium shall be waived.

ARTICLE IV

RUN-OFF REINSURERS

A.	“Run-off Reinsurer” means the Reinsurer:

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

Has ceased all or substantially all of its reinsurance underwriting operations; or

Has transferred all or substantially all of its claims-paying authority to an unaffiliated entity without the consent of the Company; or

In any other way has assigned all or substantially all of its interests or delegates all or substantially all of its obligations under this Contract to an unaffiliated entity.

B.	Notwithstanding paragraph A above, the following shall not constitute a transfer of the Reinsurer’s claims-paying authority for purposes of subparagraphs A(3) and A(4) above:

The transfer of claims-paying authority or administration to a third party, if the Reinsurer maintains control over claims settlement decisions; or

Agreement by a Lloyd’s Syndicate to follow claims procedures under The Lloyd’s Claims Scheme (Combined) or as amended or any successor thereto.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, in the event that the 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:

If payment of any claim has been received from the Reinsurers constituting at least 70% of the interests and liabilities of all the 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 Reinsurer shall be deemed to be active if it is not a Run-off Reinsurer.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

The interest penalty specified in the LATE PAYMENTS ARTICLE shall be increased by 0.5% for each 30 days that the payment is past due, subject to a maximum increase of 7.0%.

If mutually agreed by the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer, the Run-off Reinsurer’s liability for losses for Policies covered by this Contract may be commuted. In the event the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer cannot agree on the commutation amount of the Run-off Reinsurer’s liability under such Policies, either party may choose to abandon the process. If neither party chooses to abandon the process, they may appoint an actuary to assess such liability and shall share equally in any expense of the actuary. The appointed actuary shall be either a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society or the American Academy of Actuaries. If the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer cannot agree on an actuary, the parties shall abandon the process. If a mutually acceptable commutation is agreed, 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. In the event the Company and the Run-off Reinsurer do not agree to a mutually acceptable commutation, the parties’ respective rights and obligations shall continue as set forth in this Contract.

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 $500,000, 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:

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.

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 discovery and/or a limited hearing are necessary.

The arbitrator shall render a decision within 10 business days after the latter of the date on which briefs are submitted or the end of the limited hearing. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on both parties.

For all those “Loss Occurrences,” other than those referred to in subparagraph 1(b) above, the Company may choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours commences provided that it is not earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss and provided that only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, except for any “Loss Occurrence” referred to in subparagraph 1(a) above where only one such period of 72 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, regardless of the duration of the event.

The dollar amount resulting from the multiplication of subparagraphs B(1), B(2) and B(3) above shall equal the reinstatement premium, if any, for the excess layer. If at the time of the Reinsurer’s payment of a loss hereon, the reinsurance premium as calculated under this Contract is unknown, the calculation of the reinstatement premium shall be based upon the deposit premium for the excess layer subject to adjustment when the reinsurance premium is finally established.

Nevertheless, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall not exceed the “Reinsurer’s Limit, Each Risk, Each Loss” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A, in respect of any one loss, and shall be further limited to the “Reinsurer’s Limit, Each Loss Occurrence” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A, in respect of any one Loss Occurrence, and shall be further limited to the “Reinsurer’s Limit, All Risks, All Losses” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A, in respect of all losses occurring during the term of this Contract.

ARTICLE XII

ACCOUNTING BASIS

All premiums and losses under this Contract shall be reported on an “accident year” accounting basis. Unless specified otherwise herein, all premiums shall be credited to the period during which they earn, and all losses shall be charged to the period during which they occur.

ARTICLE XIII

REINSURANCE PREMIUM

As premium for the reinsurance provided hereunder for the excess layer, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the “Premium Rate” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A, times its Subject Earned Premium for the term of this Contract, subject to the “Minimum Premium” for the excess layer as stated in Exhibit A.

B.	The Company shall pay the Reinsurer the “Deposit Premium” for the excess layer, as stated in Exhibit A, in “Quarterly Installments” on July 1 and October 1, 2014, and January 1 and April 1, 2015 for the amounts stated in Exhibit A.

Within 90 days after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder, segregated by the applicable excess layer, as computed in accordance with paragraph A above. Any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for the applicable layer shall be remitted within 15 working days.

D.	If this Contract expires on a “run-off” basis under the provisions of paragraph C of the TERM ARTICLE, as premium for the period from the effective date of expiration through the end of the “run-off” period, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer in accordance with the following:

If there has been no loss to the Reinsurer under this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the expiring premium rate for each excess layer times the unearned premium on the date run-off commences;

If there has been loss to the Reinsurer under this Contract, the reinsurance premium rate for the “run-off” period shall be as mutually agreed, but shall not exceed 150% of the expiring premium rate. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer the agreed upon rate for each excess layer times the unearned premium on the date run-off commences.

The premium due the Reinsurer for the “run-off” period shall be remitted by the Company in four equal installments, payable within 60 days after each fiscal quarter end during the “run-off” period.

ARTICLE XIV

NOTICE OF LOSS AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS

A.	The Company shall advise the Reinsurer promptly of all losses which, in the opinion of the Company, may result in a claim hereunder and of all subsequent developments thereto which, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the Reinsurer.

When so requested in writing, the Company shall afford the Reinsurer or its representatives an opportunity to be associated with the Company, at the expense of the Reinsurer, in the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance, and the Company and the Reinsurer shall cooperate in every respect in the defense of such claim, suit or proceeding.

All loss settlements paid or to be paid by the Company that are within the terms and conditions of the Policy or by way of compromise, except as otherwise provided in this Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer. Upon receipt of evidence of the amount paid or to be paid, the Reinsurer agrees to pay within 5 days of its receipt of such evidence or allow, as the case may be, its share of each such amount.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

In the event that any amount due the Company is not received by the intermediary hereunder by the payment due date, the Company may, by notifying the intermediary in writing, require the Reinsurer to pay, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay, an interest penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of each month as follows:

The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly calculation, whichever the lesser; times

1/365ths of a rate equal to the 90-day Treasury Bill rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day following the date a remittance becomes due plus 300 basis points; times

The amount past due, including accrued interest.

The Reinsurer shall also pay any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Reinsurer’s payment obligations hereunder.

It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus interest penalties has been received by the intermediary.

B.	The establishment of the payment due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined in accordance with the applicable Article of this Contract.

For purposes of interest calculation only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the intermediary. The validity of any claim or payment may be contested under the provisions of this Contract. If the Reinsurer prevails in an arbitration, or any other proceeding, there shall be no interest penalty due. Otherwise, any interest shall be calculated and due as outlined above. Furthermore, if the Reinsurer pays any claim hereunder that it is contesting and prevails in such action, the Company shall return such payment plus pay interest on same, at a rate calculated as per the provisions of paragraph A, above; however, such calculation is to begin from the actual date of remittance of funds from the Reinsurer through the date the funds are returned.

ARTICLE XVI

ALLOCATION

A.	The methods of allocating and recording reinsurance recoverables and premiums among the reinsured companies with respect to this Contract shall be as follows:

Reinsurance recoverables and associated reinstatement premiums payable shall be allocated among the reinsured companies in proportion to the losses incurred by each reinsured company applicable to this Contract.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

Each reinsured company shall be responsible for its proportionate share of the reinsurance premiums due to the Reinsurer. The final reinsurance premium, as determined under the terms of this Contract, shall be allocated to each reinsured company in the same proportion that each reinsured company’s subject premium bears to the total subject premium.

B.	Records of these allocations shall be maintained by or on behalf of the reinsured companies in sufficient detail to identify both the reinsurance recoverables and premium allocated to each reinsured company.

Nothing herein shall be construed to provide a separate retention or limit of liability for each reinsured company. In no event shall the liability of the Reinsurer be increased by such apportionment, as all companies reinsured hereunder are deemed by the parties to this Contract to be one reinsured entity for this purpose.

ARTICLE XVII

SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

A.	The Company, at its sole discretion, may enforce its right to salvage and/or subrogation and may prosecute all claims arising out of such right.

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage or subrogation recoveries (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less Loss Adjustment Expense incurred in obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage and subrogation recoveries thereon shall always be used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of their priority according to their participation before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss. The Company hereby agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a part of which loss was sustained by the Reinsurer, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights.

ARTICLE XVIII

DELAYS, ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

Any inadvertent delay, omission or error shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability which would attach to it hereunder if such delay, omission or error had not been made, provided such omission or error is rectified upon discovery.

ARTICLE XIX

OFFSET

The Company and the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract. The party asserting the right of offset may exercise such right any time whether the balances due are on account of premiums or losses or otherwise; however, in the event of the insolvency of any party hereto, offset shall be in accordance with applicable law.

ARTICLE XX

CURRENCY

A.	Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars and all transactions under this Contract shall be in United States Dollars.

B.	Amounts paid or received by the Company in any other currency shall be converted to United States Dollars at the rate of exchange at the date such transaction is entered on the books of the Company.

ARTICLE XXI

ARTICLE XXII

FEDERAL EXCISE TAX

(Applicable to those Reinsurers, excepting Reinsurers exempt from Federal Excise Tax, who are domiciled outside the United States of America.)

The Reinsurer has agreed to allow the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under the Internal Revenue Code) for the purpose of paying Federal Excise Tax to the extent such premium is subject to such tax. Should the Reinsurer claim exempt status from Federal Excise Tax, it shall provide to the Company, upon its request, proof that the exempt status adequately satisfies the rules as imposed under the Internal Revenue Code and any other applicable U.S. government authority.

B.	In the event of any return premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent shall recover such tax from the United States Government.

ARTICLE XXIII

RESERVES AND FUNDING

A.	The Reinsurer shall provide funding under the terms of this Article only if the Company would be denied statutory credit for reinsurance ceded to that Reinsurer pursuant to the credit for reinsurance law or regulations of the regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.

As regards Policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the Company agrees that, when it files with the insurance regulatory authority or sets up on its books reserves for liabilities which it is required by law to set up, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a report showing the proportion of such reserves which is applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer shall fund 100% of its portion of such reserves in respect of:

Loss and loss expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer;

Known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and loss expense relating thereto;

Reserves for loss and loss expense incurred but not reported;

Unearned premium (if applicable);

Other amounts recoverable reported in Schedule F of the Company’s NAIC Statement;

as shown in the report prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Reinsurer’s Obligations”). The Reinsurer’s Obligations shall be funded by funds withheld, cash advances, escrow accounts for the benefit on the Company, Letters of Credit (“LOC”), Trust Account, or a combination thereof. The Reinsurer shall have the option of determining the method of funding, subject always to the provision that (a) the method of funding and (b) the terms and provisions of any such LOC or Trust Account and (c) the quality of assets in any Trust Account are all acceptable to the Company and also meet the requirements of each applicable insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. In the event a provision of any such funding instrument jeopardizes the Company’s ability to obtain full credit for reinsurance, such provision shall be void and shall be amended to comply with applicable credit for reinsurance requirements. The Reinsurer shall provide funding and/or any adjustments thereto in time for the Company to meet the requirements of each applicable insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves, provided that the Company sends the report of Reinsurer’s Obligations at least 15 days prior to the date such funding is required.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

C.	Deferral of funding that may be permitted for a certified reinsurer in the event of a catastrophe shall not apply to any Reinsurer under this Contract.

When funding in whole or in part by an LOC, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional LOC dated on or before December 31 of the year in which the request is made (on or before the last day of the calendar quarter for any quarterly adjustment), issued by a member of the Federal Reserve System or any bank approved for use by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office, and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. Such LOC shall be issued for a period of not less than one year and shall include an “evergreen clause,” which automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless 60 days (or such other time period as may be required by the applicable 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.

The Reinsurer and 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:

To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of unearned premium on Policies reinsured hereunder on account of cancellations of such Policies;

To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and which has not been otherwise paid;

To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract;

To fund an account with the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations if such LOC is under notice of non-renewal or not replaced by the Reinsurer within 10 days prior to its expiration. 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;

To pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any funding provided by the Reinsurer is in excess of the actual amount required for subparagraph E(1), E(2) or E(4) above or, in the case of subparagraph D(5) above, 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.

F.	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.

G.	At annual intervals, or more frequently but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific report of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole purpose of amending the LOC or other method of funding, in the following manner:

If the report shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the available balance of the funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or escrow accounts and/or LOC and/or Trust Account as of the report date, the Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, make an adjustment to increase the available balance of funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or LOC and/or Trust Account by the amount of such excess.

If, however, the report shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the available balance of the funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or escrow accounts and/or LOC and/or 102% of the balance of the Trust Account if funding is provided by Trust Account, as of the report date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess funding by making or allowing an adjustment to the funds withheld and/or cash advances and/or escrow accounts and/or LOC and/or Trust Account.

H.	Should the Reinsurer be in breach of its obligations under this Article, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Contract, the Company may seek relief in respect of said breach from any court having competent jurisdiction over the parties hereto.

ARTICLE XXIV

NET RETAINED LINES

This Contract applies only to that portion of any Policy which the Company retains net for its own account (prior to deduction of any underlying reinsurance specifically permitted in this Contract), and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and also in computing the amount or amounts in excess of which this Contract attaches, only loss or losses in respect of that portion of any Policy which the Company retains net for its own account shall be included.

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 which may have become due from such Reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

ARTICLE XXVII

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be considered void in such jurisdiction, 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 XXVIII

GOVERNING LAW

The Reinsurer or its designated representative(s) shall not have access to Protected Records related to a claim ceded to this Contract; however, the Reinsurer shall be permitted to have access to those Protected Records described in subparagraph F(1) of this Article after the Company’s final settlement or final adjudication of such underlying claim. If Protected Records are withheld, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer accordingly and the Company shall take reasonable steps to provide the Reinsurer with sufficient information to determine its liability hereunder.

CONFIDENTIALITY

The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information, and data provided to the Reinsurer by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the placement and execution of this Contract, inspection pursuant to the ACCESS TO RECORDS ARTICLE, (“Confidential Information”) are proprietary and confidential to the Company.

B.	Absent the written consent of the Company, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third parties, including any affiliated companies, except when:

Required by retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this Contract; or

Required by state regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer’s records and/or financial condition; or

Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Reinsurer is required by court order, other legal process, or any regulatory authority to release or disclose any Confidential Information, unless prohibited by law the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company written notice of same prior to such release or disclosure and to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article. If a protective order is not obtained, the Reinsurer agrees to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it has been advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed.

In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Company without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver,

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

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 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 proportionate share of the benefit that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

B.	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 Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

It is further agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or except 1) where this Contract specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance 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 payee 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 by the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York of the Certificate of Assumption on New York risks, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurers shall pay any loss directly to payees under such policies.

D.	In the event of the insolvency of any company or companies listed in the designation of “Company” under this Contract, this Article shall apply only to the insolvent company or companies.

In the event of the insolvency of any company or companies covered hereunder, the laws of the applicable domiciliary state(s) shall apply. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the laws of the domiciliary state of any company or companies covered hereunder, that domiciliary state’s laws shall prevail.

shall be submitted for decision to a panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration shall be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or such reputable courier service as is capable of returning proof of receipt of such notice by the recipient to the party demanding arbitration.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, the Company shall have the option to either litigate or arbitrate any dispute in which the Reinsurer makes any allegation of misrepresentation, non-disclosure, concealment, fraud or bad faith and/or where the Reinsurer has experienced a Special Termination Event, as defined in the SPECIAL TERMINATION ARTICLE.

One arbitrator shall be appointed by each party. If the responding party fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 days after its receipt of the claimant party’s notice requesting arbitration, the claimant party, after 10 days’ notice by certified mail or reputable courier as provided above of its intention to do so, may appoint the second arbitrator.

The two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, appoint an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. Should the two arbitrators fail to choose the third arbitrator within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the parties shall appoint the third arbitrator pursuant to the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society – U.S. (ARIAS) Umpire Selection Procedure. All arbitrators shall be disinterested active or former senior executives of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London. In the event of the resignation or death of any arbitrator, a replacement shall be appointed in the same manner as the resigning or deceased arbitrator was appointed and the newly constituted panel shall take all necessary and/or reasonable measures to continue the arbitration proceedings without additional delay.

Within 30 days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings. The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration shall take place in Clearwater, Florida, but the venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive law, it shall consider the law of the State of Florida. 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.

The panel shall make its decision as promptly as possible following the termination of the hearings, considering the terms and conditions expressed in this Contract and the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

If more than one Reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such Reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the Reinsurers constituting the one party; provided, however, that nothing therein shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Reinsurers under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

BY HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

Each party shall bear the expense of the arbitrator selected by or for it 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.
