1. ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

FedNat Holding Company (“FNHC,” "FedNat," the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a regional insurance holding company that controls substantially all aspects of the insurance underwriting, distribution and claims processes through our subsidiaries and contractual relationships with independent agents and general agents. We, through our wholly owned subsidiaries, are authorized to underwrite and/or place homeowners multi-peril (“homeowners”), federal flood and other lines of insurance in Florida and other states. We market, distribute and service our own and third-party insurers’ products and other services through a network of independent and general agents.

FedNat Insurance Company (“FNIC”), our largest wholly owned insurance subsidiary, is licensed as an admitted carrier to write homeowners property and casualty insurance by the state’s insurance departments in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi.

Maison Insurance Company ("MIC"), an insurance subsidiary, is licensed as an admitted carrier to write homeowners property and casualty insurance as well as wind/hail-only exposures by the state's insurance departments in Louisiana, Texas and Florida. In November 2021, the Company made the decision to commence an orderly runoff of Maison’s insurance operations.

Monarch National Insurance Company (“MNIC”), an insurance subsidiary, is licensed as an admitted carrier to write homeowners property and casualty insurance in Florida.

Material Distribution Relationships

Ivantage Select Agency, Inc.
The Company is a party to an insurance agency master agreement with Ivantage Select Agency, Inc. (“ISA”), an affiliate of Allstate Insurance Company (“Allstate”), pursuant to which the Company has been authorized by ISA to appoint Allstate agents to offer our FNIC homeowners insurance products to consumers in Florida. As a percentage of the total homeowners premiums we underwrote, 19.3% and 20.9% were from Allstate’s network of Florida agents, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As a percentage of the total homeowners premiums we underwrote, 19.6% and 20.9% were from Allstate’s network of Florida agents, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

SageSure Insurance Managers, LLC
The Company is a party to a managing general underwriting agreement with SageSure Insurance Managers, LLC (“SageSure”) to facilitate growth in our FNIC homeowners business outside of Florida. As a percentage of the total homeowners premiums, 26.3% and 26.2% of the Company’s premiums were underwritten by SageSure, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As a percentage of the total homeowners premiums, 26.5% and 26.0% of the Company’s premiums were underwritten by SageSure, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As part of our partnership with SageSure, previously we entered into a profit share agreement, whereby we shared 50% of net profits of this line of business through June 30, 2020, as calculated per the terms of the agreement, subject to certain limitations, which included limits on the net losses that SageSure could realize. The limit was based on the amount of inception to date profits within the profit share agreement. In addition, refer to Note 5 for information regarding a fully collateralized quota-share treaty on this book of business that became effective July 1, 2020.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNHC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and any variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s management believes the consolidated financial statements reflect all material adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

-8-


FedNat Holding Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2021

The Company identifies a VIE as an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or where the equity investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company assesses its contractual, ownership or other interests in a VIE to determine if the Company’s interest participates in the variability the VIE was designed to absorb and pass onto variable interest holders. The Company performs an ongoing qualitative assessment of its variable interests in a VIE to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest and would therefore be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Company determines it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates the assets and liabilities of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Our significant accounting policies were described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K. Other than the update discussed below, there have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the first six months of 2021, we purchased additional reinsurance limit excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance program for 2020-2021, which we determined had an embedded derivative. Refer to Notes 3 and 5 below for information regarding this embedded derivative.

When we enter into contracts containing embedded derivative instruments that possess economic characteristics not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host, and a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, we bifurcate the embedded derivative from the host for measurement purposes. The embedded derivative is carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and changes in fair value are recognized in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on our consolidated statements of operations as they occur. The fair value of the embedded derivative is measured based upon the best estimates of current settlement values, using present value of projected cash flows.

Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The Company prepares the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates.

Similar to other property and casualty insurers, the Company’s liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") reserves, although supported by actuarial projections and other data, is ultimately based on management’s reasoned expectations of future events. Although considerable variability is inherent in these estimates, the Company believes that the liability and LAE reserve is adequate. The Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions regularly and makes adjustments, reflected in current operations, as necessary, on an ongoing basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740. The guidance also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-1, Accounting for Equity Securities and Equity Investments, which clarifies the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities (Topic 321), equity method investments (Topic 323), and certain derivatives (Topic 815). The update clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the early stage of evaluating the impact that the update will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-6, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-6"), which simplifies an issuer's accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three models in the current guidance that requires separate accounting for certain embedded conversion features. The new guidance simplifies the settlement

assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. ASU 2020-6 requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement (if the effect is more dilutive) for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. This new guidance requires disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period and cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. ASU 2020-6 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the early stage of evaluating the impact that the update will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments at fair value or the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are generally based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. All assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets is defined as a market where transactions for the financial statement occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, or observable inputs;
Level 2 - Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities and valuations, using models or other valuation techniques using observable market data. Significant other observable that can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 - Instruments that use non-binding broker quotes or model driven valuations that do not have observable market data or those that are estimated based on an ownership interest to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed.

If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level of the fair value hierarchy of inputs used consisted of the following:

Total investments, at fair value $ 40,392  $ 450,975  $ —  $ 491,367 

We measure the fair value of our securities based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the security. The most appropriate valuation methodology is selected based on the specific characteristics of the security, and we consistently apply the valuation methodology to measure the security’s fair value. Our fair value measurement is based on a market approach that utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. We review the third party pricing methodologies on a quarterly basis and validate the fair value prices to a separate independent data service and ensure there are no material differences. Additionally, market indicators, industry and economic events are monitored.

During the first six months of 2021, we purchased additional reinsurance limit for our 2020-2021 excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance program, which we determined had an embedded derivative. As of September 30, 2021, this embedded derivative is carried at $10.7 million included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $9.4 million in realized and unrealized gain (loss) related to this item on our consolidated statements of operations. Also, there is no contractual maturity date. There is no collateral posted for this embedded derivative; however, the related contract is with excess-of-loss reinsurers that have an S&P A rating or are collateralized.

A summary of the significant valuation techniques and market inputs for each financial instrument carried at fair value includes the following:

United States Government Obligations and Authorities - In determining the fair value for United States government securities in Level 1, the Company uses quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical or similar assets. In determining the fair value for United States government securities in Level 2, the Company uses the market approach utilizing primary valuation inputs including reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data and industry and economic events.
Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions - In determining the fair value for state and municipal securities, the Company uses the market approach utilizing primary valuation inputs including reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data and industry and economic events.
Corporate and International Securities - In determining the fair value for corporate securities the Company uses the market approach utilizing primary valuation inputs including reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads (for investment grade securities), observations of equity and credit default swap curves (for high-yield corporates), reference data and industry and economic events.
Equity Securities - In determining the fair value for equity securities in Level 1, the Company uses quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical or similar assets. In determining the fair value for equity securities in Level 2, the Company uses the market approach utilizing primary valuation inputs including reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data and industry and economic events.
Other Assets Embedded Derivative – In determining the fair value of the embedded derivative in Level 3, the Company uses the best estimates of current settlement values, using present value of projected cash flows. The assumptions, at each valuation date, are those we view to be appropriate for a hypothetical market participant and include assumptions for the non-performance risk, which is added to the discount rates used in determining the fair value from the net cash flows and

reflects the credit risk of either our counter-party for our assets or us for our liabilities of not fulfilling the obligations of an underlying amounts due to us or amounts we owe. Changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives result primarily from changes in market conditions or the credit risk associated with us or our counterparties.

We did not have securities trading in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information, therefore we did not use unobservable inputs to measure fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Additionally, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020, and we noted no significant changes in our valuation methodologies between those periods.

There were no changes to the Company’s valuation methodology and the Company is not aware of any events or circumstances that would have a significant adverse effect on the carrying value of its assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Reclassification of Held-to-Maturity Securities to Available-for-Sale

The Company sold held-to-maturity securities with a carrying value of $70 thousand and realized a loss of less than $1 thousand during the second quarter of 2020 due to credit concerns for certain securities. The Company, as of the date of the aforementioned sales, reclassified its remaining held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale. The held-to-maturity securities transferred had an amortized cost of $4.2 million and fair value of $4.3 million and resulted in $0 and $58 thousand of unrealized gains, pre-tax, recognized in other comprehensive income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

5. REINSURANCE

Overview

Reinsurance is used to mitigate the exposure to losses, manage capacity and protect capital resources. The Company reinsures (cedes) a portion of written premiums on an excess of loss or a quota-share basis in order to limit the Company’s loss exposure. To the extent that reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations assumed under these reinsurance agreements, the Company remains primarily liable to its policyholders.

The Company is selective in choosing reinsurers and considers numerous factors, the most important of which is the financial stability of the reinsurer or capital specifically pledged to uphold the contract, its history of responding to claims and its overall reputation. In an effort to minimize the Company’s exposure to the insolvency of a reinsurer, the Company evaluates the acceptability and review the financial condition of the reinsurer at least annually with the assistance of the Company’s reinsurance broker.

Significant Reinsurance Contracts

2020-2021 Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Program
The Company’s excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance program for 2020-2021 (the “2020-2021 Program”), which covers the Company and its wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, FNIC, MIC and MNIC became effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. FNIC, MIC, and MNIC are collectively referred to herein as the “carriers”. The 2020-2021 Program provides up to approximately $1.3 billion of single-event reinsurance coverage in excess of up to a $31 million retention for catastrophic losses, including hurricanes, and aggregate coverage up to $1.9 billion, at an approximate total cost of $310.6 million, subject to adjustments based on actual exposure or premium of policies at different points in time in the coming months. The Company will retain 100% of the first $25 million retention on each event plus up to an additional $6 million in retention on the first event by retaining an approximate 9.1% co-participation of the next $70 million of limit after the first $25 million. More specifically, the 2020-2021 Program includes up to approximately $1.3 billion in aggregate private reinsurance for coverage in all states in which the Company operates, of which up to approximately $650 million is limited to any one event, plus an additional $650 million of reinsurance provided by the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), that responds on both a per occurrence and in the aggregate basis, and which coverage is exclusive to the state of Florida.

The private layers of the 2020-2021 Program, covering both Florida and non-Florida exposures have prepaid automatic reinstatement protection, which affords the carriers additional coverage for subsequent events. The private reinsurance market continued to harden this year due to a number of factors, including issues unique to the U.S. coastal catastrophe reinsurance marketplace generally and the Florida market specifically. These factors resulted in more restrictive terms by some of our individual reinsurers. The change in terms from the prior year’s program includes some portion of the program having a single aggregate retention for our carriers taken as a whole, versus each carrier’s own individual retention, plus some portions of the program not “cascading”, which provides less broad coverage for multiple event scenarios generating gaps in coverage that need to be filled with additional post renewal reinsurance protection or be retained net by the Company. As of September 30, 2021, the 2020-2021 Program was placed with reinsurers with an A.M. Best Company or Standard & Poor’s rating of “A-” or better, or that have fully collateralized their maximum potential obligations in dedicated trusts. For the purpose of debt covenant compliance, if any reinsurer on the 2020-2021 Program is not collateralized or has a rating lower than “A-” by A.M. Best Company or Standard & Poor’s then the Company treats that reinsurer’s participation as if it was part of the Company’s net retention. Refer to "Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” of our 2020 Form 10-K for more information.

The total 2020-2021 Program cost includes approximately $262.8 million for private reinsurance for the carriers’ exposure described above, including prepaid automatic reinstatement premium protection, along with approximately $47.8 million payable to the FHCF. The combination of private and FHCF reinsurance treaties affords the carriers up to approximately $1.9 billion of aggregate coverage within Florida and $1.3 billion in states outside Florida with a maximum single event coverage totaling up to approximately $1.3 billion within Florida and approximately $650 million outside Florida, exclusive of retentions.

Each carrier shares the combined program cost in proportion to its contribution to the total expected loss in each reinsurance layer. Each carrier’s reinsurance recoveries will be based on that carrier’s contributing share of a given event’s total loss and each carrier will be responsible for its portion of the 2020-2021 Program’s $25 million per event retention ($31 million for the first event only) based on a specific allocation formula. Both FNIC and MNIC increased their FHCF participation to 90% for the 2020 hurricane season, and MIC maintained its FHCF participation at 90%.

In addition, the Company purchased subsequent event reinsurance coverage that has a lower retention than the first event. Under the 2020-2021 Program, FNIC’s non-Florida book of business as written by SageSure has excess of loss reinsurance treaties which afford this specific book of business additional protection through an additional $16 million of coverage for a second event, which applies to hurricane losses only. This additional reinsurance coverage is specific to FNIC's non-Florida business and does not afford coverage to MIC's non-Florida business. The result is a retention of approximately $18 million for FNIC's book with SageSure for the first event and approximately $2 million for the second event, although these retentions may be reduced after taking into account the quota-share reinsurance agreement that FNIC has with Anchor Re, Inc. ("Anchor Re"). Furthermore, for Florida only losses, the carriers purchased second and third event coverage of 71.5% of $15 million excess of $10 million that reduces the second and third event retention for the carriers, from $25 million to $14.3 million per event, on a combined basis, which could be reduced further by an additional 28.5% placed on a parametric basis with an Excess and Surplus lines carrier that will provide coverage for the second and third Florida hurricane loss, if the first event loss criteria has been satisfied to the carriers after the inception of treaty. The amount of recovery with the parametric product is based on the magnitude of the hurricane and the proximity of the individual insured risk to the hurricane path. This coverage terminated on May 31, 2021.

Furthermore, on September 3, 2020, the Company secured $39.2 million of reinsurance limit at an approximate cost of $11.2 million. This limit is available for Hurricane Delta and all subsequent events that occur during the remainder of the current treaty year. In addition, on October 13, 2020, the Company secured 50% of $10 million excess of $8 million of reinsurance limit at an approximate cost of $875 thousand to lower its retention and further protect FNIC’s non-Florida book of business written by SageSure. This limit was available for any named storm event during the remainder of 2020. On November 4, 2020, the Company secured an additional $13.5 million of reinsurance limit at an approximate cost of $2.0 million. This limit was available for any subsequent events that occurred for the remainder of 2020, except for Hurricane Eta.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company entered into an aggregate excess of loss agreement on its MIC book of business through the end of the calendar year. This new agreement provides reinsurance coverage on non-named storms, of 65% of $15 million excess of $10 million with a $0.85 million occurrence deductible and a $4.15 million occurrence limit at an approximate cost of $2.3 million.

Subsequent to a significant loss event in February 2021, the Company purchased $50 million of additional reinsurance limit to provide further protection for any future events through May 31, 2021. The additional protection was secured in two layers for an approximate cost of $13 million with the lowest layer responding at a retention level of $10 million. This additional limit contained overlapping coverage on certain portions of this purchase, resulting in the determination that the additional coverage contained an embedded derivative. While the economic substance is similar to as a typical reinsurance recovery, the embedded derivative is carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and changes in fair value are recognized in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on our consolidated statements of operations as they occur. Refer to Notes 2 and 3 for further information.

Lastly, the Company secured additional reinsurance limit of 50% of $70 million excess of $25 million, at an approximate cost of $2.8 million, which were recognized as ceded premium over the period from June 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. This limit is available for events occurring during this period for all carriers and all states.

The carriers’ cost and amounts of reinsurance are based on current analysis of exposure to catastrophic risk. Most of the data is subjected to exposure level analysis at various dates through December 31, 2020. This analysis of the carriers’ exposure levels in relation to the total exposures to the FHCF and excess of loss treaties may produce changes in retentions, limits and reinsurance premiums in total, and by carrier, as a result of increases or decreases in the carriers’ exposure levels.

2021-2022 Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Program
The Company’s excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance program for 2021-2022 (the “2021-2022 Program”), which covers the Company and its wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, FNIC, MIC and MNIC became effective July 1, 2021. The 2021-2022 Program provides the carriers up to approximately $1.4 billion of single event reinsurance coverage in excess of up to a $18.25 million pre-tax retention for certain catastrophic losses, including hurricanes, and aggregate coverage up to $2.25 billion, at an approximate total cost of $276.1 million, subject to adjustments based on actual exposure or premium of policies at different points in time in the coming months.

Due to non-Florida exposures becoming a larger portion of the overall book of business, the Company broadened its approach to its reinsurance purchases for this treaty year by separating the program into two reinsurance towers. The first tower includes all exposures for FNIC Florida, MIC in all states and MNIC and includes ground up first event limit protection up to approximately $982 million (“Primary Tower”), subject to a maximum first-event retention of $10 million. The second tower provides ground up first event limit up to $450 million for all FNIC’s non-Florida business produced by its managing general underwriter partner

(“FNIC SageSure Tower”), subject to a first-event retention of $8.25 million. The $18.25 million combined towers maximum retention is a reduction in the first event retention of approximately 41% compared to up to $31 million in last year’s program. The combination of these separate towers provides the Company with an increase in aggregate catastrophe reinsurance protection of approximately $333 million compared to the previous treaty year original purchase. More specifically, the 2021-2022 Program includes up to approximately $2.25 billion in aggregate reinsurance across all states in which the Company operates, including $511 million of reinsurance provided by the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”). Up to approximately $979 million is available for a first event within Florida, including $468 million of private coverage plus the FHCF coverage. Up to approximately $910 million of coverage is available for a first event outside of Florida, including the $468 million of private coverage from the Primary Tower, which is available to cover catastrophe losses in MIC’s book of business located in Louisiana and Texas. FHCF coverage responds on both a per occurrence and aggregate basis, and is exclusive to the state of Florida. Additionally, the 2021-2022 Program provides $831 million of private reinsurance across the combined towers for second and subsequent events, subject to individual retentions within each tower and the aggregate limit. All layers above a $30 million attachment point have prepaid automatic reinstatement protection, which affords the carriers additional coverage for subsequent events without additional cost.

Most of the privately placed layers of the 2021-2022 Program are effective July 1, 2021, with certain agreements effective for June 2021. The portion of the 2021-2022 Program placed with private reinsurers is with partners that as of September 30, 2021 had an A.M. Best Company or Standard & Poor’s rating of “A-” or better, or that have fully collateralized their maximum potential obligations in dedicated trusts. For the purpose of debt covenant compliance, if any reinsurer on the 2021-2022 Program is not collateralized or has a rating lower than “A-” by A.M. Best Company or Standard & Poor’s then the Company treats that reinsurer’s participation as if it was part of the Company’s net retention. Refer to "Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” of our 2020 Form 10-K for more information.

The private reinsurance market continued to harden this year due to a number of factors, including the elevated number of catastrophic events impacting U.S. coastal areas in recent years. These factors have resulted in more restrictive terms for the upcoming reinsurance treaty year. The change in terms includes a further reduction in the availability of cascading coverage, which automatically “drops-down” coverage for subsequent events and prevents gaps in reinsurance protection when multiple events occur during the same treaty year. In addition, there was limited open market capacity available for lower layer attachment points on an “all perils” basis. As a result, a vast majority of the first layer for the Primary Tower ($20 million excess of $10 million), which includes one automatic reinstatement, covers “all perils” only through November 30, 2021, after which coverage includes only named storms such as tropical depressions, tropical storms and hurricanes, and excludes tornado or hail events. The first layer in the FNIC SageSure Tower ($22 million excess of $8 million) provides both per occurrence and aggregate protection and was placed with Anchor Re, an affiliate of SageSure (the non-affiliated managing general underwriter that writes FNIC’s non-Florida property business) on a fully-collateralized basis. In addition, 40% of the reinstatement premium protection ($7 million) for the layer that attaches above $30 million of the FNIC SageSure Tower provides protection on an “all perils” basis whereas the remaining 60% ($11 million) provides protection following only a hurricane.

As indicated above, the carriers’ combined 2021-2022 Program is estimated to cost $276.1 million, consisting of $204.8 million for the Primary Tower and $71.3 million for FNIC SageSure Tower after consideration of an estimated 16% downward premium adjustment resulting from the September 30, 2021 exposure adjustment, driven by our exposure management initiatives. This amount includes approximately $239.8 million for private reinsurance for the carriers’ exposure described above, including prepaid automatic premium reinstatement protection, along with approximately $36.3 million, within the Primary Tower, payable to the FHCF. All carriers maintained their 90% FHCF participation for the upcoming wind season. In the Primary Tower, each carrier will share the combined cost in proportion to its contribution to the total expected loss in each reinsurance layer. Each carrier’s reinsurance recoveries will be based on that carrier’s contributing share of a given event’s total loss and each carrier will be responsible for its portion of the 2021-2022 Program’s per event retention based on a specific allocation formula.

In addition to the coverage stated above, under the FNIC SageSure Tower, the Company purchased additional protection that lowers the second event named-storm retention, inclusive of co-participation, to approximately $9.75 million, with certain limitations as described below. For a third event, the named storm retention would be approximately $17.3 million. More specifically, this additional coverage consists of 75% of $27 million of coverage for a second event and 47% of $27 million of coverage for a third event, which applies to named storm losses only. These retentions may be reduced after taking into account the 80% quota-share agreement that FNIC has with Anchor Re. Whether such catastrophe losses can be ceded into this treaty will be dependent on capacity to do so pursuant to the loss caps in that quota-share treaty.

The carriers’ cost and amounts of reinsurance are based on current analysis of exposure to catastrophic risk. The data is subjected to exposure level analysis at various dates through December 31, 2021. This analysis of the carriers’ exposure levels in relation to the total exposures to the FHCF and excess of loss treaties may produce changes in retentions, limits and reinsurance premiums in total, and by carrier, as a result of increases or decreases in the carriers’ exposure levels.

Quota-Share Reinsurance Programs

FNIC Homeowners Florida
On July 1, 2020, FNIC renewed the quota-share treaty with Swiss Re, which was initially set at 10%, on its Florida homeowners book of business, on an in-force, new and renewal basis, excluding named storms and subject to certain limitations. Effective October 1, 2020, FNIC and Swiss Re agreed to increase the cession percentage on this treaty from 10% to 20% on an in-force, new and renewal basis.

On November 15, 2020, FNIC entered into a 10% quota-share reinsurance treaty through November 15, 2021 on its Florida homeowners book of business on an in-force, new and renewal basis. This treaty excludes all catastrophe losses and provides coverage only on attritional losses and is subject to certain limitations.

On December 31, 2020, FNIC entered into an additional 10% quota-share reinsurance treaty through December 31, 2021 on its Florida homeowners book of business on an in-force, new and renewal basis. This treaty excludes named storms and is subject to certain limitations.

On July 1, 2021, FNIC renewed its 20% quota-share treaty on its Florida homeowners book of business, on an in-force, new and renewal basis, excluding named storms and subject to certain limitations. In addition, this quota-share allows FNIC the flexibility to prospectively increase (we are currently at the maximum) or decrease the cession percentage up to three times during the term of the agreement.

FNIC Homeowners non-Florida
On July 1, 2020, FNIC entered into a quota-share treaty on its non-Florida homeowners book of business with Anchor Re, an Arizona captive reinsurance entity that is an affiliate of SageSure. The treaty provided 50% quota-share reinsurance protection on claims incurred subsequent to July 1, 2020 on in-force, new and renewal business through June 30, 2021, subject to certain limitations, which include limits on the net losses that Anchor Re can realize during the treaty year. The treaty arrangement was fully collateralized through Anchor Re. The financial economics of this treaty substantially mirror the 50% profit-sharing arrangement that was previously in place. Thus, this treaty was not expected to have any impact on the pre-tax operating results of the Company, though the components of the combined ratio will be affected by the ceding of premiums, claims and commissions. On November 3, 2020, FNIC and Anchor Re agreed to increase the cession percentage in this treaty from 50% to 80%, effective December 1, 2020 on in-force, new and renewal basis.

Effective January 31, 2021, the Company terminated its existing 80% quota-share reinsurance treaty with Anchor Re and commuted the agreement. In April 2021, the Company received $7.2 million from Anchor Re as settlement of the commutation. Immediately after the commutation, the Company entered into 80% quota-share treaty with Anchor Re on February 1, 2021 on an in-force, new and renewal basis, which covers the thirteen month period through February 28, 2022, subject to certain limitations, which include limits on the net losses that Anchor Re can realize during the treaty year. As of September 30, 2021, the net loss limit has been reached, and any catastrophe cessions will be dependent on future profits in the related book of business through the end of the treaty period. This agreement provides an allowance to purchase reinsurance coverage above the aforementioned limits. In addition, Anchor Re has the right to commute the treaty if the overall net loss limit has been reached, which would require Anchor Re to fund the net loss ceded into the treaty. If the commutation were to occur, we would negotiate the terms such that Anchor Re would cover the losses incurred to date under the treaty and the Company would cease the ceding of premiums and losses for the remaining term. The treaty arrangement is fully collateralized through Anchor Re.

Associated Trust Agreements
Certain reinsurance agreements require FNIC to secure the credit, regulatory and business risk. Fully funded trust agreements securing these risks totaled less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

6. ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSS

Overview

There is significant risk and judgment involved in determining estimates of our allowances for credit loss, which reduce the amortized cost of an asset to produce an estimate of the net amount that will be collected over the asset's contractual life. Longer time horizons generally present more uncertainty in expected cash flow. We evaluate the expected credit loss of assets on an individual basis, except in cases where assets collectively share similar risk characteristics where we pool them together. We evaluate and estimate our allowances for credit loss by considering reasonable, relevant and supportable available information.

(1)Reflected in commissions and other underwriting expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Accrued investment income is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. We immediately write-off accrued investment income if it becomes uncollectible, therefore we do not measure or record an allowance for credit losses.

Investments

Our investment policy is established by the Board of Directors’ Investment Committee and is reviewed on a regular basis. This policy currently limits investment in non-investment-grade debt securities (including high-yield bonds), and limits total investments in preferred stock, common stock and mortgage notes receivable. We also comply with applicable laws and regulations that further restrict the type, quality and concentration of our investments. We do not use any swaps, options, futures or forward contracts to hedge or enhance our investment portfolio.

Our investment portfolio has inherent risks because it contains volatility associated with market pricing and interest rate sensitive instruments, such as bonds, which may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates or credit worthiness. The effects of market volatility, declining economic conditions, such as a U.S. or global economic slowdown, whether due to COVID-19, or other factors, could adversely impact the credit quality of securities in our portfolio and may have unforeseen consequences on the liquidity and financial stability of the issuers of securities we hold.

Our debt securities portfolio includes securities that:

Are explicitly guaranteed by a sovereign entity that can print its own currency;
The currency is routinely held by central banks, used in international commerce and commonly viewed as a reserve currency; and
Have experienced a consistent high credit rating by rating agencies and a long history with no credit losses.

We believe if these governments were to technically default it is reasonable to assume an expectation of immaterial losses, even in the current strained market conditions. Refer to Note 4 above for the balances of these sovereign debt securities, which are reported in the following investment categories:

United States government obligations and authorities;
Obligations of states and political subdivisions; and
International.

For our debt securities, available-for-sale, the fact that a security’s fair value is below its amortized cost is not a decisive indicator of credit loss. In many cases, a security’s fair value may decline due to factors that are unrelated to the issuer’s ability to pay. For this reason, we consider the extent to which fair value is below amortized cost in determining whether a credit-related loss exists. The Company also considers the credit quality rating of the security, with a special emphasis on securities downgraded below investment grade. A comparison is made between the present value of expected future cash flows for a security and its amortized cost. If the present value of future expected cash flows is less than amortized cost, a credit loss is presumed to exist and an allowance for credit loss is established. Management may conclude that a qualitative analysis is sufficient to support its conclusion that the present value of the expected cash flows equals or exceeds a security’s amortized cost. As a result of this review, management concluded that there were no credit-related impairments of our available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2021. Management does not intend to sell

available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is not “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell these securities before a recovery in their value to their amortized cost basis occurs.

Our equity investments are measured at fair value through net income (loss), therefore they do not require an allowance for credit loss.

Premiums Receivable

We do have collectability risk, but our homeowners policy terms are one year or less and our policyholders are dispersed throughout the southeast United States, although the majority of our policyholders are located in Florida.

We write-off premiums receivable if the individual policy becomes uncollectible. Because collectively our premiums receivable share similar risk characteristics, we pool them to measure our valuation allowance for credit losses using an aging method approach. This method applies historical loss rates to levels of delinquency for our policy terms that are one year or less. Based upon historical collectability, adjusted for current and future economic conditions, we have measured and recorded our valuation allowances for premiums receivable.

Reinsurance Recoverable

Refer to Note 5 above for details of our efforts to minimize our exposure to losses from a reinsurer’s inability to pay.

We measure and record our valuation allowances for credit losses on our reinsurance recoverables asset by multiplying the probability the asset would default within a given timeframe ("PD") by the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected upon default, or loss given default ("LGD") and multiplying the result by the amortized cost of the asset. We use market observable data for our PD and LGD assumptions, and in cases where we are unable to observe LGD, we assume it is 100%.

7. LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT RESERVES

The liability for loss and LAE reserves is determined on an individual-case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claim development and incurred but not reported ("IBNR").

Activity in the liability for loss and LAE reserves is summarized as follows:
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2021 2020
(In thousands)
Gross reserves, beginning-of-period $ 540,367  $ 324,362 
Less: reinsurance recoverable (1) (358,128) (164,429)
Net reserves, beginning-of-period 182,239  159,933 
   
Incurred loss, net of reinsurance, related to:    
Current year 183,307  291,741 
Prior year loss development (redundancy) (2) 1,863  6,912 
Ceded losses subject to offsetting experience account adjustments (3) (68) (744)
Prior years 1,795  6,168 
Amortization of acquisition fair value adjustment (12) (47)
Total incurred loss and LAE, net of reinsurance 185,090  297,862 
   
Paid loss, net of reinsurance, related to:    
Current year 60,476  143,106 
Prior years 109,662  109,930 
Total paid loss and LAE, net of reinsurance 170,138  253,036 
   
Net reserves, end-of-period 197,191  204,759 
Plus: reinsurance recoverable (1) 840,346  349,221 
Gross reserves, end-of-period $ 1,037,537  $ 553,980 

(1)Reinsurance recoverable in this table includes only ceded loss and LAE reserves.
(2)Reflects loss development from prior accident years impacting pre-tax net income. Excludes losses ceded under retrospective reinsurance treaties to the extent there is an offsetting experience account adjustment.
(3)Reflects losses ceded under retrospective reinsurance treaties to the extent there is an offsetting experience account adjustment, such that there is no impact on pre-tax net income (loss).

The establishment of loss reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss reserve estimates are expected as such estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. The factors influencing changes in claim costs are often difficult to isolate or quantify and developments in paid and incurred losses from historical trends are frequently subject to multiple interpretations. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such adjustments are made.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company experienced $1.9 million of unfavorable loss and LAE reserve development on prior accident years, primarily in its homeowners line of business as a result of higher than expected development from accident year 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company experienced $6.9 million of unfavorable loss and LAE reserve development on prior accident years in its Florida homeowners and commercial general liability lines of business, offset by redundancy in the homeowners line of business as a result of lower LAE associated with several catastrophe events.

FedNat Holding Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2021

The Company entered into 30% and 10% retrospectively-rated Florida-only property quota-share treaties, which ended on July 1, 2016 and 2017, respectively. These agreements included a profit share (experience account) provision, under which the Company will receive ceded premium adjustments at the end of the treaty to the extent there is a positive balance in the experience account. This experience account is based on paid losses rather than incurred losses. Due to the retrospectively-rated nature of this treaty, when the experience account is positive we cede losses under these treaties as the claims are paid with an equal and offsetting adjustment to ceded premiums (in recognition of the related change to the experience account receivable), with no impact on net income. Conversely, when the experience account is negative, the Company cedes losses on an incurred basis with no offsetting adjustment to ceded premiums, which impacts net income. Loss development can be either favorable or unfavorable regardless of whether the experience account is in a positive or negative position. Effective February 28, 2021, the Company commuted the 30% agreement and subsequently received $11.2 million as settlement.

Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026

On April 20, 2021, the Company closed an offering and issued $21.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 19, 2021 (the "2021 Indenture"). This offering is part of an authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors to offer and issue from time to time up to $35.0 million of 2026 Notes under the 2021 Indenture. The 2026 Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company, mature on April 19, 2026 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per year, payable semi-annually in cash.

-24-


FedNat Holding Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2021

The 2026 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 166.6667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $6.00 per share of our common stock, an approximately 33% premium to the closing price of the Company's common stock on April 19, 2021. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain pro rata capital events, such as stock splits or dividends. The 2026 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2026 Notes. The Company classified the 2026 Notes as a liability under long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

If a change in control of the Company, as defined in the 2021 Indenture, occurs, the holders of the 2026 Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 2026 Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with the Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 ("2029 Notes") and other future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company. The 2021 Indenture includes customary covenants and events of default. Among other things, the covenants restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or make restricted payments, including dividends, require the Company to maintain certain levels of reinsurance coverage while the 2026 Notes remain outstanding, and maintain certain financial covenants. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 2021 Indenture. Principal and interest on the 2026 Notes are subject to acceleration in the event of certain events of default, including automatic acceleration upon certain bankruptcy-related events.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029

The Company also currently has outstanding $100 million 2029 Notes, which at issuance bore interest at the annual rate of 7.50%. In connection with the amendment of the indenture covenants to increase the maximum debt-to-capital ratio applicable to the incurrence of debt to 60% and decreasing the maximum debt-to-capital ratio applicable to restricted payments, including cash dividends on our common stock, to 20%, the interest rate was increased by 0.25% to 7.75% per annum beginning March 15, 2021. Refer to Note 10 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the 2020 Form 10-K, for additional information regarding our 2029 Notes.

9. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate is the ratio of income tax expense (benefit) over our income (loss) before income taxes. The effective income tax rate was 0.0% and 38.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate was (1.8)% and 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Differences in the effective tax and the statutory Federal income tax rate of 21% are driven by state income taxes, changes in valuation allowance and anticipated annual permanent differences, including estimates for tax-exempt interest, dividends received deduction and executive compensation.

The application of GAAP requires us to evaluate the recoverability of our net deferred income tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, and establish a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce our deferred income tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realizable. Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we consider many factors, including: the nature and character of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities; taxable income in prior carryback years, if any; future reversals of existing temporary differences; the length of time carryovers can be utilized; and any tax planning strategies we would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused. Realization is never assured and based on available information, including the financial performance of the Company during the second quarter of 2021, we determined that it was more likely than not that the net deferred income tax asset would not be realized. Therefore, during the first nine months of 2021, we established an income tax valuation allowance of $25.6 million with a corresponding charge to income of $21.9 million and a decrease of $3.7 million to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company had an uncertain tax position of $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company has a valuation allowance of $28.6 million and $3.0 million on its deferred income tax asset as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company

recognized no benefit related to an uncertain tax position and our associated accrued interest and penalties was less than $0.1 million.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, specifically claims litigation. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries participate in most of these proceedings by either defending third-party claims brought against insureds or litigating first-party coverage claims. The Company accounts for such activity through the establishment of loss and LAE reserves. The Company’s management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is also occasionally involved in other legal and regulatory proceedings, some of which may assert claims for substantial amounts, making the Company party to individual actions in which extra-contractual damages, punitive damages or penalties, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims, are sought.

The Company reviews the outstanding matters, if any, on a quarterly basis. The Company accrues for estimated losses and contingent obligations in the consolidated financial statements if and when the obligation or potential loss from any litigation, legal proceeding or claim is considered probable and the amount of the potential exposure is reasonably estimable. The Company records such probable and estimable losses through the establishment of legal expense reserves. As events evolve, facts concerning litigation and contingencies become known and as additional information becomes available, the Company’s management reassesses its potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates and make appropriate adjustment to the financial statements. Estimates that require judgment are subject to change and are based on management’s assessment, including the advice of legal counsel, the expected outcome of litigation and legal proceedings or other dispute resolution proceedings or the expected resolution of contingencies. The Company’s management believes that the Company’s accruals for probable and estimable losses are reasonable and that the amounts accrued do not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Assessment Related Activity

The Company operates in a regulatory environment where certain entities and organizations have the authority to require us to participate in assessments. Currently these entities and organizations include: Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (“FIGA”), Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (“Citizens”), FHCF, Georgia Insurers Insolvency Pool (“GIIP”), Special Insurance Fraud Fund (“SIIF”), Fair Access to Insurance Requirements Plan (“FAIRP”), Property Insurance Association of Louisiana (“PIAL”), South Carolina Property & Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association (“SCPCIGA”), Texas Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association (“TPCIGA”), Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (“TWIA”), Alabama Insurance Guaranty Association (“AIGA”), and Alabama Insurance Underwriters Association (“AIUA”). As a direct premium writer, we are required to participate in certain insurer solvency associations under the applicable laws in the states in which we do business. One form of assessment requires us to collect the assessment from our policyholders and then remit the collected amounts to the assessing entity, which does not have any impact on our financial results. We are also subject to assessments that require us to pay the full amount of the assessment to the assessing entity and then we are permitted to make rate filings to allow us to recoup the amount of the assessment from our policyholders over time.

In connection with its automobile line of business, which is currently winding down, FNIC is also required to participate in an insurance apportionment plan under Florida law, which is referred to as a JUA Plan. The JUA Plan provides for the equitable apportionment of any profits realized, or losses and expenses incurred, among participating automobile insurers. In the event of an underwriting deficit incurred by the JUA Plan, which is not recovered through the policyholders in the JUA Plan, such deficit shall be recovered from the companies participating in the JUA Plan in the proportion that the net direct written premiums of each such member during the preceding calendar year bear to the aggregate net direct premiums written in this state by all members of the JUA Plan. There were no material assessments by the JUA Plan as of December 31, 2020. Future assessments by the JUA and the JUA Plan are indeterminable at this time.

Leases

The Company is committed under various operating lease agreements for office space.

The right-of-use asset is reflected in other assets and the lease liability is reflected in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense, net of sublease income is reflected in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

Additional information related to our operating lease agreement for office space consisted of the following:
As of

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ (236) $ (223) $ (545) $ (456)

The interest rates implicit in our leases were not known, therefore the weighted-average discount rate above was determined by what FedNat would have had to pay to borrow the lease payments in a similar economic environment that existed at inception of our leases while considering our general credit and the theoretical collateral of the office space. In the event of a change to lease term, the Company would re-evaluate all inputs and assumptions, including the discount rate.

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Securities Offerings

In June 2018, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form S-3, a shelf registration statement enabling the Company to offer and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of securities. On March 15, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 3,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.75 per share for gross proceeds of $16.6 million. The offering generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $15.1 million, after deducting the underwriter’s discount and offering expenses payable by the Company. In April 2021, the Company sold an additional 100,650 shares upon partial exercise of the underwriter's overallotment option and received net proceeds of $0.4 million.

Intrinsic value of options exercised 106  110 
Fair value of restricted stock vested —  19  1,700  1,659 

The intrinsic value of options exercised represents the difference between the stock option exercise price and the weighted average closing stock price of FNHC common stock on the exercise dates, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market.

Stock Option Awards

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding stock options exercisable for 20,332 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.40 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, no stock options were granted, 4,085 were exercised and 1,000 were canceled.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) held by the Company’s directors, executives and other key employees. For all RSA awards the accounting charge is measured at the grant date as the fair value of FNHC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term using the straight-line basis for service awards and over successive one-year requisite service periods for performance-based awards. Our expense for our performance awards depends on achievement of specified results; therefore, the ultimate expense can range from 0% to 250% of target.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Board of Directors granted 171,576 and 210,272 RSAs, respectively, vesting over three or five years, to the Company’s directors, executives and other key employees. These RSA grants include performance-based RSAs, which reflect the number of shares that would vest based on achieving the "Target" level of performance (as opposed to "Threshold" or "Maximum" performance levels). The actual number of performance-based RSAs that will vest depend on the Company's achievement of specified performance criteria in the future.

RSA activity includes the following:
Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2021 375,728  $ 14.32 
Granted 171,576  4.63 
Vested (124,287) 13.68 
Cancelled (63,468) 15.06 
Outstanding at September 30, 2021 359,549  $ 9.79 

The weighted average grant date fair value is measured using the closing price of FNHC common stock on the grant date, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including vested restricted stock awards during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income, after adding back the after-tax interest expense on our 2026 Notes, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, noted above, adjusted for the dilutive effect of our 2026 Notes, stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. Dilutive securities are common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market prices or otherwise dilute earnings if converted. The net effect of common stock equivalents is based on the incremental common stock that would be issued upon the assumed conversion into shares of the Company’s common stock for our 2026 Notes, exercise of common stock options and the vesting of RSAs using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included in diluted earnings per share when their inclusion is antidilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”). In addition, please refer to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in the remainder of this Form 10-Q, the terms “FNHC,” "FedNat," “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to FedNat Holding Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Below, in addition to providing consolidated revenues and net income (loss), we also provide adjusted operating revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) because we believe these performance measures that are not United States of America generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures allow for a better understanding of the underlying trend in our business, as the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of our operating fundamentals or performance.
Non-GAAP measures do not replace the most directly comparable GAAP measures and we have included a detailed reconciliation thereof in "Results of Operations" below.

We exclude the after-tax (using our prevailing income tax rate) effects of the following items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at adjusted operating income (loss):

Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses);
Gains (losses) associated early extinguishment of debt;

Overview of Insurance Lines of Business

Homeowners Property and Casualty Insurance
FNIC, MIC and MNIC underwrite homeowners insurance in Florida and FNIC also underwrites insurance in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi and MIC in Louisiana and Texas. Homeowners insurance generally protects an owner of real and personal property against covered causes of loss to that property. As of September 30, 2021, the total homeowners policies in-force was 301,000, of which 168,000 were in Florida and 133,000 were outside of Florida. As of December 31, 2020, the total homeowners policies in-force was 361,000, of which 207,000 were in Florida and 154,000 were outside of Florida. Refer to Overview of Insurance Lines of Business - Non-Florida below for information regarding the Company's plan to execute an orderly runoff of our non-Florida’s insurance operations. 

Florida
Our homeowners insurance products provide maximum dwelling coverage of approximately $3.6 million, with the aggregate maximum policy limit being approximately $6.3 million. We currently offer dwelling coverage “A” up to $4.0 million with an aggregate total insured value of $6.5 million. We continually review and update these limits. The typical deductible is either $2,500 or $1,000 for non-hurricane-related claims and generally 2% of the coverage amount for the structure for hurricane-related claims.

Premium rates charged to our homeowners insurance policyholders are continually evaluated to assure that they meet the expectation that they are actuarially sound and produce a reasonable level of profit (neither excessive, inadequate or discriminatory).
-32-


Premium rates in Florida and other states are regulated and approved by the respective states’ office of insurance regulation. We continuously monitor and seek appropriate adjustment to our rates in order to remain competitive and profitable.

Through MIC, we have assumed Florida policies through the state-run insurer Citizens Property Insurance Corporation ("Citizens").

The following are our recent rate actions that we have taken across our three insurance subsidiaries:

In 2020, FNIC received approval from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulations ("OIR") for a statewide-average rate increase of 6.7% for Florida homeowners multiple-peril insurance policies, which became effective for new policies on February 8, 2021 and for renewal policies on March 30, 2021.
In 2020, FNIC received OIR approval for a statewide-average rate increase of 8.3% for Florida dwelling fire insurance policies, which became effective for new policies on February 2, 2021 and for renewal policies on March 30, 2021.
In 2020, MIC received OIR approval for a statewide-average rate increase of 15.0% for Florida manufactured home insurance policies, which became effective for new policies on March 10, 2021.
In 2021, FNIC received OIR approval for a statewide-average rate increase of 9.0% for Florida homeowners multiple-peril insurance policies, which became effective for new policies on March 1, 2021 and for renewal policies on April 15, 2021.
In 2021, FNIC received approval from the OIR for a statewide-average rate increase of 0.9% for Florida homeowners multiple-peril insurance policies, which became effective for new policies on September 1, 2021 and for renewal policies on October 15, 2021.
Other rate filings have been filed with the OIR and are pending approval.

Non-Florida
Our non-Florida FNIC homeowners insurance products, which have been produced through our agreement with SageSure, provide maximum dwelling coverage “A” up to $1.8 million, with the aggregate maximum policy limit being approximately $3.6 million. The typical deductible is either $2,500 or $1,000 for non-hurricane-related claims and generally 2% of the coverage amount for the structure for hurricane-related claims.

Effective December 1, 2020, FNIC entered into a 80% quota-share treaty with Anchor Re, a wholly-owned Arizona captive reinsurance subsidiary of SageSure, the non-affiliated managing general underwriter that writes FNIC’s non-Florida homeowners business. Effective January 31, 2021, the Company terminated its existing quota-share reinsurance treaty with Anchor Re and commuted the agreement. Immediately after the commutation, the Company entered into 80% quota-share treaty with Anchor Re on February 1, 2021 on an in-force, new and renewal basis, which covers the thirteen month period through February 28, 2022, subject to certain limitations. The treaty arrangement is fully collateralized through Anchor Re.

Our MIC non-Florida insurance products have included homeowners insurance, manufactured home insurance and dwelling fire insurance. MIC has written both full peril property policies as well as wind/hail only exposures.

The following are our recent rate actions that we have taken across our insurance subsidiaries that do business outside of Florida:

In 2021, FNIC applied for a statewide-average rate increase of 6.9% for South Carolina homeowners insurance policies, which was approved by the respective regulatory agency and became effective for new policies on April 1, 2021 and for renewal policies on May 1, 2021.
In 2021, FNIC applied for a statewide-average rate increase of 9.0% for Texas homeowners insurance policies, which was approved by the respective regulatory agency and became effective for new policies on April 8, 2021 and for renewal policies on May 1, 2021.
In 2021, MIC applied for a statewide-average rate increase of 11.1% for Louisiana homeowners insurance policies, which was approved by the respective regulatory agency and became effective for new policies on May 15, 2021 and for renewal policies on July 1, 2021.
In 2021, FNIC applied for a statewide-average rate increase of 11.0% for Louisiana homeowners insurance policies, which was approved by the respective regulatory agency and became effective for new policies on July 1, 2021 and for renewal policies on July 1, 2021.
Rate filings have been applied for by FNIC and MIC outside of Florida and are pending to be approved by the respective regulators.

In November 2021, the Company announced its plan to re-focus its operations on the Florida market, which has been the Company’s historical focus. In conjunction with this shift in strategy, the Company intends to commence an orderly runoff of Maison’s insurance operations. In that regard, Maison will be filing appropriate documentation with its insurance regulators in Louisiana, Florida and Texas concerning Maison’s withdrawal plan. This withdrawal plan is subject to regulatory review periods of 60 days in Texas, and 45 days in Florida (except that no action can be taken in Florida in furtherance of the withdrawal for 90 days
-33-


following submission of the withdrawal plan). Subject to such review, we expect to begin non-renewing Maison’s Louisiana policies as on their anniversary dates beginning in January 2022. Nonrenewal of Maison’s Texas policies is expected to begin in February 2022, and the nonrenewal of Maison’s Florida policies is expected to begin in June 2022. With respect to FNIC’s Texas and Louisiana books, the Company and SageSure (the third-party MGU that wrote the business and owns the renewal rights thereof) expect to begin transferring policies onto an alternative insurance carrier partners of SageSure in December 2021, by virtue of making an offer of coverage to FNIC policyholders. FNIC policies in South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi will continue to be renewed by FNIC until such time as SageSure's alternative insurance carrier partners obtain the necessary licensing in those states. The rollover of all existing policies are governed by the appropriate regulatory requirements of each state in which the policy is located.

Other Insurance Lines of Business
FNIC writes flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”). We write the policy for the NFIP, which assumes 100% of the flood risk while we retain a commission for our service. FNIC offers this line of business in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi. FNIC plans to file an admitted flood endorsement as an alternative to the NFIP program. MIC writes flood insurance through a partnership with Bintech who assumes 100% of the risk, in Louisiana only.

See the discussion in Item 1: “Business” in our 2020 Form 10-K, for additional information with respect to our business.

Regulation

All insurance companies must file quarterly and annual statements with certain regulatory agencies and are subject to regular and special examinations by those agencies. We may be the subject of additional special examinations or analysis. These examinations or analysis may result in one or more corrective orders being issued by the OIR or Louisiana Department of Insurance ("LDI"), our primary regulators.

COVID-19 Impact

Refer to in "Part 1, Item 1, Business” and "Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” of our 2020 Form 10-K for information with respect to the Company's response to COVID-19's impact to our business.

Revenue

Total revenue decreased $30.6 million or 31.4%, to $66.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $97.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was driven primarily by increases in ceded premiums from incremental quota-share agreements and lower gross premiums earned, which are discussed in further detail below.

Gross Premiums Written

The following table sets forth the gross premiums written for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended
September 30,
2021 2020
(In thousands)
Gross premiums written:    
Homeowners Florida $ 91,370  $ 106,101

Non-core (1) (20) (56)
Total gross premiums written $ 157,003  $ 180,152 

(1)Reflects exited lines of business.

Gross premiums written decreased $23.2 million, or 12.8%, to $157.0 million in the quarter compared with $180.2 million for the same three-month period last year, which was driven by a reduction in our policies-in-force and exposure across all states, as a result of our rigorous exposure management in response to the challenging litigation environment, partially offset by rate actions that we have taken across our insurance subsidiaries.

Gross Premiums Earned

The following table sets forth the gross premiums earned for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended
September 30,
2021 2020
(In thousands)
Gross premiums earned:    
Homeowners Florida $ 108,193  $ 115,346 
Homeowners non-Florida 65,017  63,759 
Federal flood 5,178  4,469 
Non-core (1) (20) (56)
Total gross premiums earned $ 178,368  $ 183,518 

(1)Reflects exited lines of business.

Gross premiums earned decreased $5.1 million, or 2.8%, to $178.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $183.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The lower gross premiums earned was primarily driven by the exposure management discussed earlier.

Ceded Premiums Earned

Ceded premiums earned increased $24.4 million, or 24.5%, to $124.4 million in the quarter, compared to $100.0 million in the same three-month period last year. The increase was driven by approximately $26 million of higher quota-share ceded premiums: $20 million related to new and incremental treaties for FNIC's Florida book of business and $6 million related to the quota-share treaty for FNIC's non-Florida book of business cession percentage increasing to 80% from 50% during the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase to ceded premium earned associated with the aforementioned quota-share treaties is largely offset by corresponding reductions in loss and LAE, and commission and other underwriting expenses when comparing the periods. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these quota-share treaties.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income decreased $0.7 million, or 29.9%, to $1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was driven by a smaller fixed income portfolio as well as a decline in the associated yield as a result of declining interest rates during the last year. Related to the former, we have been impacted by several catastrophes, hail and wind-related severe weather events. As a result, sales of our portfolio of fixed income securities was a significant source of liquidity over the last year.

Net realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) remained relatively flat at $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior year period. We recognized less than $(0.1) million and $0.3 million in unrealized investment gains (losses) for equity securities during these respective periods. Our current and prior year net realized investment gains are primarily associated with our portfolio managers, under our control, moving out of positions due to both macro and micro conditions, a typical practice each and every quarter.

Direct Written Policy Fees

Direct written policy fees decreased $0.4 million, or 11.8%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily driven by lower policy fees due to a reduction in our policies in-force and exposure in the state of Florida, as a result of our rigorous exposure management in response to the challenging litigation environment.

Financing and other revenue 371  (6.5) % 397 
Total other income $ 6,658  3.4  % $ 6,439 

The increase in other income was primarily driven by higher brokerage revenue. The brokerage revenue increase is the result of higher excess of loss reinsurance spend from the reinsurance programs in place, including reinstatement premiums and/or additional purchases, during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020.

These catastrophe events are typically wind, hail and tornado related weather events. Any individual catastrophe event with gross losses greater than $20 million, on a pre-tax basis, are considered significant and specifically addressed in the commentary below. Also includes net catastrophe losses from current or prior quarter events, net of claims handling services, which

were adjusted in the specific period noted above. Excludes any catastrophe related activity recorded in other financial statement accounts, outside of loss and loss adjustment expenses.
(3)Reflects homeowners losses ceded under retrospective reinsurance treaties to the extent there is an offsetting experience account adjustment, such that there is no impact on pre-tax net income (loss).

Losses and LAE decreased $39.4 million, or 39.8%, to $59.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $99.0 million for 2020 driven by higher ceded losses under quota-share reinsurance treaties and lower net catastrophe losses. The net loss ratio decreased 7.9 percentage points, to 110.6% in the current quarter, as compared to 118.5% in the third quarter of 2020. The lower loss ratio was primarily the result of higher ceded losses, as discussed earlier, and lower net catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher ceded premiums earned, the denominator on the net loss ratio calculation. The current quarter included approximately $20.3 million of catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and claims handling fee income, driven by Hurricane Ida as well as other severe weather events, which together impacted Louisiana, Florida and Texas. By comparison, the third quarter of 2020 catastrophe net losses were $38.3 million, net of reinsurance, which included Hurricanes Laura and Sally as well as other severe weather events. Additionally, higher ceded losses through our quota-share treaties and lower attritional losses in FNIC's Florida book of business drove lower current accident year losses, excluding catastrophes, compared to the prior year.

Commissions and Other Underwriting Expenses

Salaries and wages 3,124  3,351 
Other underwriting expenses 10,095  707 
Total commissions and other underwriting expenses $ 23,591  $ 24,580 

Commissions and other underwriting expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 4.0%, to $23.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was due to higher ceding commissions as a result of the incremental quota-share treaties in FNIC's Florida and non-Florida books of business. Refer to Ceded Premium Earned above for additional information. The higher ceding commission was partially offset by an increase in other underwriting expenses, which was the result of prior period expense being reduced by the benefit from the 50% profit-sharing agreement, as FNIC's non-Florida business experienced high weather losses in prior period.

The net expense ratio increased 19.0 percentage points to 54.8% in the third quarter of 2021, as compared to 35.8% in the third quarter of 2020 due primarily to higher ceded reinsurance premiums in 2021. Our gross expense ratio was 25.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 20.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, demonstrating the Company's continued focus on expense control.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million or 12.0% to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Revenue

Total revenue decreased $168.5 million, or 48.6%, to $178.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $347.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was driven primarily by increases in ceded premiums from incremental quota-share agreements and higher catastrophe reinsurance costs, as well as lower net investment income, slightly offset by higher other income, all of which are discussed in further detail below.

Gross premiums earned decreased $3.2 million, or 0.6%, to $535.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $539.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Ceded Premiums Earned

Ceded premiums increased $168.6 million, or 70.8%, to $406.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $238.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was driven by approximately $114 million of higher quota-share ceded premium: $60 million related to new and incremental quota-share treaties for FNIC's Florida book of business and $54 million related to the 80% quota-share treaty for FNIC's non-Florida book of business. Additionally, there was approximately $51 million higher catastrophe reinsurance spend, driven by higher rate-on-line prices in the 2020-2021 catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program as well as additional purchases of supplemental coverage to backfill layers and gaps in coverage stemming from the non-cascading portion of our reinsurance tower, following the six retention catastrophe events that have occurred since July 1, 2020. This increase to ceded premium earned associated with the aforementioned quota-share treaties is largely offset by corresponding reductions in loss and LAE, and commission and other underwriting expenses when comparing the periods. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these quota-share treaties.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income decreased $4.5 million, or 47.2%, to $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $9.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was driven by a smaller fixed income portfolio as well as a decline in the associated yield as a result of declining interest rates during the last year. Related to the former, we have been impacted by several catastrophes, hail and wind-related severe weather events and private reinsurers have raised the cost of their coverages. As a result, sales of our portfolio of fixed income securities was a significant source of liquidity over the last year.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) were $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $8.9 million in the prior year period. We recognized $0.1 million and $0.4 million in unrealized investment gains (losses) for equity securities during these respective periods. Our current and prior year net realized investment gains are primarily associated with our portfolio managers, under our control, moving out of positions due to both macro and micro conditions, a typical practice each and every quarter. Furthermore, to mitigate the potential COVID-19 related adverse impact on the financial stability of the issuers of securities we hold, certain positions were liquidated during 2020.

During the first six months of 2021, we purchased additional reinsurance limit for our excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance program for 2020-2021, which we determined had an embedded derivative. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $9.4 million in realized and unrealized embedded derivative gains. Refer to Notes 2, 3 and 5 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to our embedded derivative.

Direct Written Policy Fees

Direct written policy fees decreased by $1.0 million, or 8.7%, to $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $10.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily driven by lower policy fees due to a reduction in our policies in-force and exposure in Florida, as a result of our rigorous exposure management in response to the challenging litigation environment.

These catastrophe events are typically wind, hail and tornado related weather events. Any individual catastrophe event with gross losses greater than $20 million, on a pre-tax basis, are considered significant and specifically addressed in the commentary below.

(3)Reflects homeowners losses ceded under retrospective reinsurance treaties to the extent there is an offsetting experience account adjustment, such that there is no impact on pre-tax net income (loss).

Losses and LAE decreased $112.8 million, or 37.9%, to $185.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $297.9 million for the same period last year driven by higher ceded losses under quota-share reinsurance treaties and lower net catastrophe losses. The net loss ratio increased 44.3 percentage points, to 143.3% in the first nine months of 2021, as compared to 99.0% in the first nine months of 2020. The higher loss ratio was primarily the result of higher ceded premiums, as discussed earlier, which reduces net earned premiums, the denominator on the net loss ratio calculation.

The first nine months of 2021, net losses were driven by approximately $78.0 million of net catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and claims handling fee income, which was partially offset by $10.7 million of income recognized within realized and unrealized gains in our consolidated statement of operations (refer to Notes 2, 3 and 5 for further information). The first nine months of 2021 weather events were driven by Hurricane Ida, Winter Storm Uri as well as a number of convective storm and hail events impacting Louisiana, Florida and Texas. The net catastrophe losses were adversely impacted by having reached the net loss limit contained in the FNIC non-Florida quota-share treaty, which reduced the amount of net losses that we were able to cede in the current period. Prospective catastrophe cessions into this treaty will be dependent on future profits in the related book of business through the end
-45-


of the treaty period. The first nine months of 2020, net losses were driven by net catastrophe losses of $107.9 million and prior period reserve strengthening of $6.9 million. Additionally, higher ceded losses through our quota-share treaties and lower attritional losses in FNIC's Florida book of business drove lower current accident year losses, excluding catastrophes, compared to the prior year.

Commissions and other underwriting expenses decreased $28.2 million, or 31.3%, to $62.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $90.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a higher ceding commission driven primarily by the new quota-share treaties in FNIC's Florida and non-Florida books of business. Refer to Ceded Premium Earned above for additional information. The higher ceding commission was partially offset by an increase in other underwriting expenses, which was the result of prior period expense being reduced by the benefit from the 50% profit-sharing agreement, as FNIC's non-Florida business experienced high weather losses in prior period.

The net expense ratio increased 26.1 percentage points to 61.8% in the first nine months of 2021, as compared to 35.7% in the first nine months of 2020 due primarily to higher ceded reinsurance premiums in 2021. Our gross expense ratio was 25.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, demonstrating the company's continued focus on expense control.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million or 3.6% to $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $17.2 million for the nine months ended 2020.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $0.8 million to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $5.7 million in the prior year period. Refer to Note 8 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to changes to our existing debt and new debt issuance, which will increase interest expense during the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020.

Consolidated Company Outlook – Potential Changes in Financial Trends

As discussed under Overview of Insurance Lines of Business – Non-Florida above, the Company intends to re-focus its operations on its Florida homeowners business. The orderly runoff of MIC and the transfer-upon-renewal of FNIC’s non-Florida business to alternative insurance carrier partners of SageSure impact forward-looking expectations with respect to financial trends. Such impacts with respect to the Company non-Florida business include, but are not limited to:

Declines in gross written and gross earned premiums;
Declines in loss and loss adjustment expenses as well as in commissions and other underwriting expenses;
Declines in exposure to catastrophe weather losses;
Declines in the expected cost of excess of loss reinsurance coverages over the runoff period; and
Reduced need or potential need for surplus infusions into FNIC and MIC, and corresponding reductions in the Company’s overall capital needs.

Overall, the Company anticipates lower consolidated earnings. However, if catastrophe losses were to continue at the elevated levels experience in the past eighteen months, it is expected that the orderly exit of the non-Florida business will have proven beneficial to the Company’s earnings over the runoff period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our primary sources of funds are gross written premiums, investment income, commission income and fee income. Our primary uses of funds are the payment of claims, catastrophe and other reinsurance premiums and operating expenses. As of September 30, 2021, on a consolidated basis, the Company held $166.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $355.3 million in investments. As of December 31, 2020, on a consolidated basis, the Company held $102.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $491.4 million in investments. Total shareholders’ equity decreased $87.0 million, to $71.2 million as of September 30, 2021, compared with $158.2 million as of December 31, 2020 due primarily to a net loss and unrealized losses on our bond portfolio, partially offset by issuance of common stock.

The Company has outstanding $100 million of 2029 Notes ("2029 Notes"), which at issuance bore interest at the annual rate of 7.50%. In connection with the amendment of the indenture covenants to increase the maximum debt-to-capital ratio applicable to the incurrence of debt to 60% and decreasing the maximum debt-to-capital ratio applicable to restricted payments, including cash dividends on our common stock, to 20%, the interest rate was increased by 0.25% to 7.75% per annum beginning March 15, 2021. Refer to Note 10 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the 2020 Form 10-K, for additional information regarding the 2029 Notes.

The Company has outstanding $21 million of Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 ("2026 Notes"), which bear interest at the annual rate of 5.0%. The 2026 Notes are convertible in part or in whole at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second trading day prior to the maturity date on April 19, 2026 ("Maturity Date") into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 166.6667 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $6.00 per share), subject to customary adjustments in certain circumstances. The Company will not have the right to redeem the 2026 Notes prior to the Maturity Date. Holders of the 2026 Notes may require the Company to purchase their 2026 Notes upon a change of control at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

The Company's actual debt to capital ratio as of September 30, 2021 was approximately 62.5%.

On March 15, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 3,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.75 per share for gross proceeds of $16.6 million. The offering generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $15.1 million, after deducting the underwriter’s discount and offering expenses payable by the Company. In April 2021, the Company sold an additional 100,650 shares upon the partial exercise of the underwriter's overallotment option and received net proceeds of $0.4 million. This offering, the offering of 2026 Notes and changes to our 2029 Notes, are part of our ongoing execution of the strategic review process initiated by the Company’s Board of Directors announced in November 2020.

Historically, we have met our liquidity requirements primarily through cash generated from operations. Beginning in 2020, property and casualty businesses, including FNHC’s insurance carriers, have been impacted by multiple catastrophes, hail, and wind-related severe weather events and private reinsurers have tightened coverage provisions and raised the cost of their coverages. As a result, sales of our portfolio of fixed income securities was a significant source of liquidity for the Company. Quota-share reinsurance
-47-


treaties are another liquidity management tool, via the ceding commission the Company receives upon inception and the related reduction to statutory surplus requirements. New quota-share treaties entered or increased were responsive to these purposes, as well as to reduce the Company's exposure to non-named storm catastrophes.

Management continually monitors and adjusts its liquidity and capital plans for FNHC and its subsidiaries in light of the aforementioned challenges to ensure that we have adequate liquidity and capital. The Company's Board and management continue to explore all options to strengthen the Company's capital position. Additional weather-related events and actions by reinsurers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to access sources of liquidity. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Statutory Capital and Surplus of our Insurance Subsidiaries

As described more fully in Part I, Item 1. Business, Regulation of our 2020 Form 10-K, the Company’s insurance operations are subject to the laws and regulations of the states in which we operate. The OIR and their regulatory counterparts in other states utilize the National Association of Insurance Commissions (“NAIC”) risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements, and the resulting RBC ratio, as a key metric in the exercise of their regulatory oversight. The RBC ratio is a measure of the sufficiency of an insurer’s statutory capital and surplus. In addition, the RBC ratio is used by insurance industry ratings services in the determination of the financial strength ratings (i.e., claims paying ability) they assign to insurance companies. Our rating agency, Demotech, Inc. requires a minimum RBC ratio of 300% for a carrier to maintain the "A" rating that our insurance companies currently have. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FNIC’s statutory surplus, which includes MNIC, was $90.9 million and $105.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, MIC’s statutory surplus was $19.3 million and $39.3 million, respectively. FNIC's September 30, 2021 surplus reflects a surplus infusion of $20 million in November 2021 with, effective date as of September 30, 2021, as approved by the Florida regulator. In conjunction with the Company’s November 2021 decision to re-focus on its Florida homeowners business as discussed under Overview of Insurance Lines of Business – Non-Florida above, the Company intends to execute an orderly runoff of MIC’s business. Consequently, no surplus infusion was made to MIC as of September 30, 2021. The Company remains committed to maintaining statutory surplus in MIC that satisfies minimum regulatory requirements through the runoff period. As a result of the Company’s decision to support Maison to the level of minimum regulatory capital but not to a 300% RBC level, Demotech has withdrawn its rating of Maison. The ratings of FNIC and MNIC remain in place and are independent of this action.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has approximately $60 million of liquidity in its holding company and non-regulated subsidiaries (collectively referred to "holding company liquidity"), including $30 million of cash and investments, that is available for general corporate purposes, including supporting the capital requirements of its insurance subsidiaries. This figure was reduced by $20 million in November 2021 as a result of the surplus infusion described above. As a result, the Company has approximately $40 million of holding company liquidity heading into the fourth quarter of 2021.

Based upon the 2020 statutory financial statements for FNIC, MIC and MNIC, statutory surplus exceeded the regulatory action levels established by the NAIC’s RBC requirements.

Based on RBC requirements, the extent of regulatory intervention and action increases as the ratio of an insurer’s statutory surplus to its ACL, as calculated under the NAIC’s requirements, decreases. The first action level, the Company Action Level, requires an insurer to submit a plan of corrective actions to the insurance regulators if statutory surplus falls below 200% of the ACL amount. The second action level, the Regulatory Action Level, requires an insurer to submit a plan containing corrective actions and permits the insurance regulators to perform an examination or other analysis and issue a corrective order if statutory surplus falls below 150% of the ACL amount. The third action level, ACL, allows the regulators to rehabilitate or liquidate an insurer in addition to the aforementioned actions if statutory surplus falls below the ACL amount. The fourth action level is the Mandatory Control Level, which requires the regulators to rehabilitate or liquidate the insurer if statutory surplus falls below 70.0% of the ACL amount. FNIC, MIC and MNIC had ratios of statutory surplus to its ACL of 303%, 736% and 348%, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

As described above, the Company intends to maintain no less than the minimum required regulatory capital within MIC, but does not intend to maintain a 300% RBC ratio. The Company will continue to closely coordinate with all applicable state insurance departments with respect to its plan of operation throughout the runoff period.

Refer to "Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” of our 2020 Form 10-K for more information on how over time, additional weather-related events and actions by reinsurers, including loss limitations in reinsurance treaties and our ability to renew existing reinsurance treaties, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to maintain a 300% RBC ratio in FNIC and MNIC and minimum required regulatory capital in MIC or FNHC's ability to contribute necessary capital. In addition, because of the valuation allowance on the Company’s NOL deferred tax assets, the insurance carriers will not benefit from immediate tax benefits of any future quarterly losses they incur. As such, any surplus infusions required will be large than they would have been if our net deferred tax assets were deemed fully realizable.

Cash Flows Discussion

We currently believe that existing cash and investment balances, when combined with anticipated cash flows, will be adequate to meet our expected liquidity needs in both the short-term and the reasonably foreseeable future, including maintaining regulatory minimum capital levels in our insurance carriers. However, our ability to maintain 300% RBC levels in FNIC and MNIC may be dependent on our ability to raise additional capital in the future. There can be no guarantee additional capital will be available to the Company, if needed. Future strategies and catastrophe events would require additional external financing and we may from time to time seek to obtain external financing. We cannot assure that additional sources of financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, or that the terms of any such financing would not negatively impact our results of operations.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $(90.7) million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $(78.8) million in the same period in 2020. This decrease primarily reflects higher reinsurance spend, partially offset by lower expenses from losses and LAE, primarily from reinsurance recoveries.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $119.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $8.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The change primarily reflects lower purchases of debt and equity investment securities of $147.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $407.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by lower sales, maturities and redemptions of our debt and equity investment securities of $268.8 million in 2021 as compared to $419.1 million in 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $35.5 million as compared to $(14.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The change primarily reflects proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $20.0 million and issuance of shares of our common stock of $15.6 million in our 2021 public offering as compared to repurchases of $10.4 million of FedNat Holding Company common stock and payment of dividends of $3.8 million in 2020.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the inflationary effect on the cost of paying losses and LAE.

Insurance premiums are established before we know the amount of losses and LAE and the extent to which inflation may affect such expenses. Consequently, we attempt to anticipate the future impact of inflation when establishing rate levels. While we attempt to charge adequate premiums, we may be limited in raising premium levels for competitive and regulatory reasons. Inflation may also affect the market value of our investment portfolio and the investment rate of return. Any future economic changes that result in prolonged and increasing levels of inflation could cause increases in the dollar amount of incurred losses and LAE and thereby materially adversely affect future liability requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates.

We believe our most critical accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements are: (i) fair value measurements of our investments; (ii) accounting for investments; (iii) premium and unearned premium calculation; (iv) reinsurance contracts; (v) the amount and recoverability of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired; (vi) goodwill and other intangible assets; (vii) reserve for loss and losses adjustment expenses; and (viii) income taxes. The accounting estimates require the
-49-


use of assumptions about certain matters that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows would be affected.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to Part II, Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” included in our 2020 Form 10-K for a more complete description of our critical accounting estimates. 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our investment objective is to maximize total rate of return after federal income taxes while maintaining liquidity and minimizing risk. Our current investment policy limits investment in non-investment-grade debt securities (including high-yield bonds), and limits total investments in preferred stock, common stock and mortgage notes receivable. We also comply with applicable laws and regulations that further restrict the type, quality and concentration of our investments. In general, these laws and regulations permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages.

Our investment policy is established by the Board of Directors' Investment Committee and is reviewed on a regular basis. Pursuant to this investment policy, as of September 30, 2021, approximately 99% of investments were in debt securities and cash and cash equivalents, which are considered to be available-for-sale, based upon our estimates of required liquidity. Approximately 100% of the debt securities are considered available-for-sale and are marked-to-market. We do not use any swaps, options, futures or forward contracts to hedge or enhance our investment portfolio.

Refer to "Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s exposures to market risks.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K, which has not yet been remediated, we believe the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company’s management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, concluded that the deficiency described in the 2020 Form 10-K rose to the level of a material weakness, as it had the potential to allow for a material dollar amount of misstatement to our financial statements being made without being detected.

Based on the results of this evaluation, our management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 or September 30, 2021, due to remediation of the year-end material weakness not yet being completed, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. As of December 31, 2020, management identified certain design and operating effectiveness deficiencies in the Company’s internal controls, which when evaluated collectively, aggregated to a material weakness in internal control. The deficiencies in the Company’s internal controls included deficiencies related to management’s controls over the calculation of reinsurance related balances and a profit share arrangement with the same third party.


-50-


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

To remediate the material weakness, we are implementing additional reconciliation procedures and enhancing and strengthening our documentation and review procedures relating to unique, new, changing or unusual transactions. While management believes the implementation of the additional reconciliation procedures and other controls along with plans to add to staffing will remediate this item, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed by the end of the fiscal year 2021.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness

Our management and our audit committee do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control gaps and instances of fraud have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments and decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Refer to Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, “Financial Statements” for information about legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have determined to refocus our operations on the Florida homeowners market, which could have consequences that materially adversely impact our results of operations.

We have determined to refocus our operations on writing Florida homeowners policies by, among other things, allowing our policies outside of Florida to run off. This process requires us to comply with applicable regulatory requirements when non-renewing our non-Florida policies at their expiration dates. As a result, the run-off of our non-Florida business will occur over a period of approximately 18 months during which policies will remain in effect until their expiration dates. The run-off of our non-Florida business may have consequences that could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations, such as the following:

Our policies outside of Florida will remain in effect until their individual expiration dates, which means that we may have losses relating to weather events and other insured events in those markets until the policies expire.
Our focus on writing policies only in Florida means that catastrophic weather events that impact Florida, such as hurricanes, tornados and hail events, may have a more severe adverse impact on us because of our more limited geographic footprint.
As a result of our Florida-only focus, we may experience higher reinsurance costs or less reinsurance availability because of concerns by reinsurers about our lack of geographic diversity.
Our decision to wind-down our business outside of Florida could cause agents to stop recommending us to their clients inside of Florida and could cause Florida homeowners seeking insurance to decide to move existing policies or not to obtain new policies from us.
We may need to reduce our workforce as a result of the wind-down of our non-Florida operations, which may adversely impact our ability to retain our remaining employees.
Non-Florida policies may leave the Company quicker than expected which could reduce our available earned premium to pay for certain expenses including ceded excess of loss reinsurance, which was priced based on the Company’s in-force exposure as of September 30, 2021 for the treaty year ending June 30, 2022 and thereby increase our expense ratios.
Reputational risk with our investors, reinsurers, staff, agents, vendors and others with whom we interact and compete in our marketplace, which may impact our ability to compete in the competitive marketplace.
The Company may be limited in its ability to exit these policies based on regulatory requirements including limitations on cancellations of policies that have recently had a claim, or based on limited ability by SageSure to move these policies to other insurance carriers based on the availability of similar coverages at competitive prices within the markets that we operate.

We may require additional capital to support our operations and for our insurance subsidiaries’ minimum capital and surplus requirements, which may not be available or only available on unfavorable terms.

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including our ability to write new business successfully, establish premium rates and reserves at levels sufficient to cover losses, and manage our claims resolution processes. Many factors will affect the amount and timing of our capital needs, including our claims experience, the availability of reinsurance, market disruptions, and regulatory and other unforeseeable developments. In addition, our insurance companies are subject to RBC standards and other minimum capital and surplus requirements imposed under applicable state laws. To the extent that our capital may be insufficient to meet future operating requirements, minimum statutory requirements and the minimum capital expectations of the rating agency that provides Financial Stability Ratings for our insurance subsidiaries, we may need to raise additional funds through financings or further curtail our growth.

As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we have determined to run-off our non-Florida business and, concurrently with that determination, have determined to maintain Maison’s capital at the minimum statutory level but not to the 300% RBC level. Although FNIC and MNIC currently have capital at the 300% RBC level, they may nevertheless require additional capital in the future. If we were required to raise additional capital, equity or debt financing may not be available at all or may be available only on terms that are not favorable to us. In the case of equity financings, dilution to our shareholders’ ownership could result, and in any case such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of existing shareholders. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, which may require the consent of existing debt holders, the terms of any such debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that restrict our ability to operate our
-52-


business. If we cannot obtain adequate capital on favorable terms or at all, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if we fail to meet the applicable RBC or minimum statutory capital requirements imposed by the laws of Florida or other states in which we currently have policies, and are unable to obtain additional capital when needed, we could be subject to corrective action imposed by state regulators, including limitations on out writing of additional business, additional state supervision, or liquidation.

We may experience increased financial exposure due to changes in private excess-of-loss reinsurance pricing market terms and conditions.

The private reinsurance market goes through what are known in the industry as “soft” and “hard” market cycles based on factors such as capital availability and expected returns within the reinsurance industry and variations in world-wide and regional weather patterns and other natural or man-made catastrophes that produce higher or lower loss experience than expected for the reinsurance industry. During soft market cycles, where losses have been less than expected, more favorable pricing, terms and conditions are more readily available to us, which reduces our potential exposure by providing broader coverage and at better pricing. During a hard market cycle, when less capital is available, higher returns are expected or where prior losses have been more than expected, private reinsurance markets typically increase pricing and tighten coverage, potentially resulting in more financial exposure to the Company. Certain hard markets can lead to the absence of certain types of reinsurance capacity at any reasonable price. Examples of tighter terms include, but are not limited to, the exclusion of coverage for certain types of weather events, removal of cascading protection and elimination of individual insurance carrier per-event retentions when there are multiple insurance carriers in a group. The reinsurance market for our 2021-2022 reinsurance program was a hard market, with less favorable terms, as described above, on a portion of our July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 property catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance program. In particular, portions of our 2021-2022 program exclude coverage for severe convective storms after hurricane season. We may determine to purchase additional coverage for such storms, but the Company anticipates that the reinsurance market will remain hard such that additional coverage may not be available or may be on terms, including premiums, unfavorable to us.

Our failure to continue to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, including its newly adopted board diversity rule, could have an adverse impact on our stock price.

Our shares are currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market. Remaining listed for trading on Nasdaq requires us to remain compliant with Nasdaq’s current continued listing requirements, which include maintaining minimum levels of shareholders’ equity, assets and revenues (depending on the compliance standard being used to demonstrate compliance), and other quantitative standards such as minimum market value of publicly held shares, $1.00 minimum closing bid price, and number of market makers. In addition, Nasdaq has proposed, and the SEC has approved, requiring Nasdaq-listed companies to disclose board-level diversity statistics using a standard matrix beginning with the 2022 proxy statement, and to have or explain why they do not have at least two diverse directors beginning August 7, 2023. Although we currently meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, there can be no assurances that we will continue to do so in the future.

The valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset we established in the second quarter of 2021 because our recent losses may not be recoverable if we do not achieve net income.

Because of our recent losses, we established a valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2021 against the entire amount of the deferred tax asset we had been reflecting on our balance sheet as required by GAAP. We will be able to recover the deferred tax asset over time if we achieve taxable income, as to which there can be no assurances. In addition, our financial condition and results of operations, including of our insurance subsidiaries under statutory accounting principles, may be adversely affected by the lack of tax offsets against operating losses until we achieve adequate levels of taxable income.

There have been no other material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors,” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to that section for disclosures regarding what we believe are the most significant risks and uncertainties related to our business.

As respects each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall retain and be liable for the first amount of ultimate net loss, shown as   "Company's Retention" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, arising out of   each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable, as respects each excess layer,   for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company's applicable   retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer under each excess layer shall not exceed the   amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence.      B. Notwithstanding the provisions above, no claim shall be made hereunder as respects   losses arising out of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract unless   at least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in such loss   occurrence. For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."        
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 5         Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   The Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of coverage and shall be   deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense recoveries paid by the   FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the Company shall inure to the   benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate net loss hereunder.   Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in   accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and   will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's claims-paying   capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall not pay any additional   premium. As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of     
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 7      settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of

As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1013   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Excess Layer of reinsurance coverage   provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the   product of the following (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is   less than 12 months), subject to a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof   in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer is less than a 5.0% increase or   decrease, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v8.2   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge. It is understood that the calculation of the actual PML shall be   based on the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto.

As respects the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Excess Layers, the Company shall pay the   Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of the amount, shown as   "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, in four   equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installment" for that excess   layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and on January 1   and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no   deposit premium installments due after the effective date of termination.      D. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit   premium of the amount, shown as "First Layer Premium" in Schedule A attached hereto, in   four equal installments of the amount, shown as "First Layer Premium Installment" in   Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and on January 1 and April 1   of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no deposit   premium installments due after the effective date of termination.      E. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party     
  21\F7V1013   Page 12      agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such     
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 13      proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.           
  21\F7V1013   Page 14      Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 15      Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2.

Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2.

To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 17      Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1013   Page 18      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,   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.        
 
  21\F7V1013   Page 19         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.         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A.

Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1013   Page 20      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 33 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 35 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile.

  21\F7V1013      Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.)         1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5. It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the   nuclear exposure is not considered by the Reassured to be the primary hazard.      6. The term "special nuclear material" shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law   amendatory thereof.      7.

  21\F7V1013   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\F7V1013   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1.

The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.        
  21\F7V1054   Page 6      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its     
 
  21\F7V1054   Page 7      insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,

As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1054   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1054   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1.

The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times     
  21\F7V1054   Page 12          3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1054   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1054   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1054   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1054   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1054   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1054   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\F7V1054   Page 19         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
  21\F7V1054   Page 20      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 33 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 35 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile.

Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.

This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I.

Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III.

  21\F7V1054   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\F7V1054   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3.

  21\F7V1055   Page 5      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract.

Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
  21\F7V1055   Page 6      Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1055   Page 7      Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;        
  21\F7V1055   Page 8       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1055   Page 9      Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1055   Page 10      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,   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 18 - 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.        
 
  21\F7V1055   Page 11         Article 19 - 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 20 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 21 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1055   Page 12      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 22 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 24 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.

Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3.

  21\F7V1089   Page 5      Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   The Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of coverage and shall be   deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense recoveries paid by the   FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the Company shall inure to the   benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate net loss hereunder.   Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in   accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and   will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's claims-paying   capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall not pay any additional   premium. As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.        
  21\F7V1089   Page 6      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its     
 
  21\F7V1089   Page 7      insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,

As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event.

The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1089   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1089   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer is less than a 5.0% increase or   decrease, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v8.2   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge. It is understood that the calculation of the actual PML shall be   based on the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto.

The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times     
  21\F7V1089   Page 12          3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1089   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1089   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1089   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1089   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1089   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1089   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\F7V1089   Page 19         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
  21\F7V1089   Page 20      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 33 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 35 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.

This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5.

Reassured to be sole judge of what constitutes:       (a) substantial quantities, and       (b) the extent of installation, plant or site.      Note.-Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) hereof, it is understood and agreed that       (a) all policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st December 1957 shall be free from the application of the   other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the   provisions of this Clause shall apply.       (b) with respect to any risk located in Canada policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st December 1958   shall be free from the application of the other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960   whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply.      12/12/57   N.M.A. 1119   BRMA 35B     
 
  21\F7V1089   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\F7V1089   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

The Company shall retain and be liable for the first $10,000,000 of ultimate net loss arising   out of each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable, as respects each excess   layer, for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company's retention, but   the liability of the Reinsurer under each excess layer shall not exceed a combined amount,   shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached   hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence.       Whether a loss occurrence results in an ultimate net loss under one or more of the excess   layers set forth in Schedule A attached hereto, the Company's retention will not exceed the   first $10,000,000 of ultimate net loss arising out of such loss occurrence.      B. Recoveries shall always be made, in the first instance, under the lowest excess layer that is   not entirely exhausted. If there is any amount of ultimate net loss arising out of a loss   occurrence in excess of the Company's retention under the lowest excess layer that has not   been recovered thereunder, such amount shall be recovered under the next or subsequent   excess layer or layers, as appropriate. Recoveries under each excess layer set forth in   Schedule A attached to and forming part of this Contract shall inure as follows:        
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 5       1. Recoveries under the First Excess layer shall inure to the benefit of the Second   Excess layer;       2. Recoveries under the First and Second Excess layers shall inure to the benefit of the   Third Excess layer; and       3.

Notwithstanding the provisions above, no claim shall be made hereunder as respects   losses arising out of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract unless   at least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in such loss   occurrence. For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."         Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   The Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of coverage and shall be   deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense recoveries paid by the   FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the Company shall inure to the   benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate net loss hereunder.   Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in   accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and   will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's claims-paying   capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall not pay any additional   premium. As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times     
  21\F7V1099   Page 6          2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.        
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 7      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of

However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which     
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 9      commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates     
  21\F7V1099   Page 10      related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual in force premium determined by   the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by (b) the original in   force premium in the amount of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer decreases or is an increase of     
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 11      10.0% or less, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto. If the difference   between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in accordance with this   paragraph A for the excess layer is greater than a 10.0% increase, the Company shall remit   to the Reinsurer an additional amount equal to the difference between the adjusted   premium for that excess layer and 110% of the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, the first installment of the amount, shown as "First Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1, 2021, and the   final two in equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installments" on   August 1 and October 1 of 2021. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there   shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of termination.      C. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times        
  21\F7V1099   Page 12       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1099   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1099   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1099   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1099   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.

  21\F7V1099   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\F7V1099   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

  21\F7V1118   Page 5      Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   The Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of coverage and shall be   deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense recoveries paid by the   FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the Company shall inure to the   benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate net loss hereunder.   Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in   accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and   will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's claims-paying   capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall not pay any additional   premium. As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.        
  21\F7V1118   Page 6      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its     
 
  21\F7V1118   Page 7      insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,

As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event.

The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1118   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1118   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer is less than a 5.0% increase or   decrease, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v8.2   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge. It is understood that the calculation of the actual PML shall be   based on the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto.

The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times     
  21\F7V1118   Page 12          3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1118   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1118   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1118   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1118   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1118   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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 19         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
  21\F7V1118   Page 20      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 33 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 35 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.

This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5.

  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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

"Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action.

As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1123   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1123   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer is less than a 5.0% increase or   decrease, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v8.2   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge. It is understood that the calculation of the actual PML shall be   based on the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto.        
 
  21\F7V1123   Page 11       For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v8.2 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]     Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times     
  21\F7V1123   Page 12          3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1123   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1123   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1123   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1123   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1123   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1123   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\F7V1123   Page 19         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality.

  21\F7V1123   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\F7V1123   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

  21\F7V1129   Page 5      Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   The Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of coverage and shall be   deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense recoveries paid by the   FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the Company shall inure to the   benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate net loss hereunder.   Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in   accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and   will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's claims-paying   capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall not pay any additional   premium. As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.        
  21\F7V1129   Page 6      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its     
 
  21\F7V1129   Page 7      insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C. "Policies" as used in this Contract shall mean all policies, contracts and binders of   insurance or reinsurance.      D. "Ultimate net loss" as used in this Contract shall mean the sum or sums (including loss in   excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as   defined herein) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction   of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all   recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.   Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not   recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.         Article 10 - Loss Occurrence   A. The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,     
  21\F7V1129   Page 8      tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1129   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1129   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer is less than a 5.0% increase or   decrease, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v8.2   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge. It is understood that the calculation of the actual PML shall be   based on the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto.

The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times     
  21\F7V1129   Page 12          3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1129   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1129   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1129   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1129   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1129   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1129   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\F7V1129   Page 19         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
  21\F7V1129   Page 20      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 33 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 35 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B.

Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.

  21\F7V1129      Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.)         1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5. It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the   nuclear exposure is not considered by the Reassured to be the primary hazard.      6. The term "special nuclear material" shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law   amendatory thereof.      7. Reassured to be sole judge of what constitutes:       (a) substantial quantities, and       (b) the extent of installation, plant or site.      Note.-Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) hereof, it is understood and agreed that       (a) all policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st December 1957 shall be free from the application of the   other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the   provisions of this Clause shall apply.       (b) with respect to any risk located in Canada policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st December 1958   shall be free from the application of the other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960   whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply.      12/12/57   N.M.A. 1119   BRMA 35B     
 
  21\F7V1129   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\F7V1129   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012              
 
  21\F7V1129      Terrorism Exclusion   (Property Treaty Reinsurance)            Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary within this Contract or any amendment thereto, it   is agreed that this Contract excludes loss, damage, cost or expense directly or indirectly caused   by, contributed to by, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any act of terrorism,   as defined herein, regardless of any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any   other sequence to the loss.      An act of terrorism includes any act, or preparation in respect of action, or threat of action   designed to influence the government de jure or de facto of any nation or any political division   thereof, or in pursuit of political, religious, ideological or similar purposes to intimidate the public   or a section of the public of any nation by any person or group(s) of persons whether acting   alone or on behalf of or in connection with any organization(s) or government(s) de jure or   de facto, and which:       1.

For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1130   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1130   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].       However, if the difference between the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for   that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and the premium calculated in   accordance with this paragraph A for the excess layer is less than a 5.0% increase or   decrease, the premium due the Reinsurer shall equal the amount, shown as "Annual   Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v8.2   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge. It is understood that the calculation of the actual PML shall be   based on the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto.

The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times     
  21\F7V1130   Page 12          3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
 
  21\F7V1130   Page 13      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
  21\F7V1130   Page 14         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1130   Page 15      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1130   Page 16      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1130   Page 17      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1130   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\F7V1130   Page 19         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract.

  21\F7V1130   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\F7V1130   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
  21\F7V1131   Page 6      Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1131   Page 7      Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;        
  21\F7V1131   Page 8       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1131   Page 9      Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1131   Page 10      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,   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 18 - 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.        
 
  21\F7V1131   Page 11         Article 19 - 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 20 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 21 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1131   Page 12      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 22 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 24 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.

Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 25 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder.

The Subscribing Reinsurer's A.M. Best's Financial Strength Rating has been assigned   or downgraded below A- and/or Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating has been   assigned or downgraded below BBB+; or       4.

The Subscribing Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation,   receivership, supervision, administration, winding-up or under a scheme of   arrangement, or similar proceedings (whether voluntary or involuntary) or proceedings   have been instituted against the Subscribing Reinsurer for the appointment of a   receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, supervisor, administrator, conservator or trustee in   bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets   or control of its operations; or       7.

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.           
 
  21\F7V1132   Page 3      Article 3 - Concurrency of Conditions   A. It is agreed that this Contract will follow the terms, conditions, exclusions, definitions,   warranties and settlements of the Company under the Original Contract, which are not   inconsistent with the provisions of this Contract.      B. The Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any material changes in the Original Contract   which may affect the liability of the Reinsurer under this Contract provided that no change   to the Original Contract shall increase or accelerate the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability   without their written consent.         Article 4 - Premium   A. As premium for the reinsurance coverage provided hereunder for each excess layer for the   term of this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the product of the following (or a   pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months and for   purposes of calculating subparagraph 3 below, the term of the Original Contract is a full   12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Reinstatement Factor" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto; times       2. The Final Adjusted Rate on Line for the corresponding excess layer of the Original   Contract; times       3. An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto, the first installment of the amount, shown as "First Deposit Premium   Installment" for that excess layer in Schedule B attached hereto, on July 1, 2021, and the   final two in equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installments" on   August 1 and October 1 of 2021. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there   shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of termination.      C. As soon as possible after the termination or expiration of this Contract, the Company shall   provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess   layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and   any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each   such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.        
  21\F7V1132   Page 4         Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.        
 
  21\F7V1132   Page 5      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
  21\F7V1132   Page 6      Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1132   Page 7      Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;        
  21\F7V1132   Page 8       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1132   Page 9      Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1132   Page 10      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,   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 18 - 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.        
 
  21\F7V1132   Page 11         Article 19 - 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 20 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 21 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1132   Page 12      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 22 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 24 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.

The Subscribing Reinsurer's policyholders' surplus (or its equivalent under the   Subscribing Reinsurer's accounting system) at the inception of this Contract has been   reduced by 20.0% or more of the amount of surplus (or the applicable equivalent)   12 months prior to that date; or     
  21\F7V1133   Page 2             2. The Subscribing Reinsurer's policyholders' surplus (or its equivalent under the   Subscribing Reinsurer's accounting system) at any time during the term of this   Contract has been reduced by 20.0% or more of the amount of surplus (or the   applicable equivalent) at the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer's most recent financial   statement filed with regulatory authorities and available to the public as of the   inception of this Contract; or       3. The Subscribing Reinsurer's A.M. Best's Financial Strength Rating has been assigned   or downgraded below A- and/or Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating has been   assigned or downgraded below BBB+; or       4. The Subscribing Reinsurer has become, or has announced its intention to become,   merged with, acquired by or controlled by any other entity or individual(s) not   controlling the Subscribing Reinsurer's operations previously; or       5. A State Insurance Department or other legal authority has ordered the Subscribing   Reinsurer to cease writing business; or       6. The Subscribing Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation,   receivership, supervision, administration, winding-up or under a scheme of   arrangement, or similar proceedings (whether voluntary or involuntary) or proceedings   have been instituted against the Subscribing Reinsurer for the appointment of a   receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, supervisor, administrator, conservator or trustee in   bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets   or control of its operations; or       7.

The Subscribing Reinsurer has failed to comply with the funding requirements set forth   in the Reserves Article.      C. 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.           
 
  21\F7V1133   Page 3         Article 3 - Concurrency of Conditions   A. It is agreed that this Contract will follow the terms, conditions, exclusions, definitions,   warranties and settlements of the Company under the Original Contract, which are not   inconsistent with the provisions of this Contract.      B. The Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any material changes in the Original Contract   which may affect the liability of the Reinsurer under this Contract.         Article 4 - Premium   A. As premium for the reinsurance coverage provided hereunder for each excess layer for the   term of this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the product of the following (or a   pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months and for   purposes of calculating subparagraph 3 below, the term of the Original Contract is a full   12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Reinstatement Factor" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto; times       2. The Final Adjusted Rate on Line for the corresponding excess layer of the Original   Contract; times       3. An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess layer of the   amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule B attached   hereto, in two equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installment"   for that excess layer in Schedule B attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021.   However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no deposit premium   installments due after the effective date of termination.      C. As soon as possible after the termination or expiration of this Contract, the Company shall   provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess   layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and   any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each   such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.           
  21\F7V1133   Page 4         Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.        
 
  21\F7V1133   Page 5         C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
  21\F7V1133   Page 6         Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1133   Page 7         Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;        
  21\F7V1133   Page 8          if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1133   Page 9         Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1133   Page 10         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,   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.

  21\F7V1134   Page 3      Article 3 - Concurrency of Conditions   A.

An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B.

  21\F7V1134   Page 4      Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.        
 
  21\F7V1134   Page 5      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
  21\F7V1134   Page 6      Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1134   Page 7      Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   A.

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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2.

  21\F7V1134   Page 8       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1134   Page 9      Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1134   Page 10      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,   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 18 - 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.        
 
  21\F7V1134   Page 11         Article 19 - 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 20 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 21 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1134   Page 12      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 22 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 24 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.

The Subscribing Reinsurer's policyholders' surplus (or its equivalent under the   Subscribing Reinsurer's accounting system) at any time during the term of this   Contract has been reduced by 20.0% or more of the amount of surplus (or the   applicable equivalent) at the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer's most recent financial   statement filed with regulatory authorities and available to the public as of the   inception of this Contract; or       3. The Subscribing Reinsurer's A.M. Best's Financial Strength Rating has been assigned   or downgraded below A- and/or Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating has been   assigned or downgraded below BBB+; or       4. The Subscribing Reinsurer has become, or has announced its intention to become,   merged with, acquired by or controlled by any other entity or individual(s) not   controlling the Subscribing Reinsurer's operations previously; or       5. A State Insurance Department or other legal authority has ordered the Subscribing   Reinsurer to cease writing business; or       6.

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.           
 
21\F7V1135   Page 3      Article 3 - Concurrency of Conditions   A.

The Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any material changes in the Original Contract   which may affect the liability of the Reinsurer under this Contract.         Article 4 - Premium   A.

The amount, shown as "Reinstatement Factor" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto; times       2. The Final Adjusted Rate on Line for the corresponding excess layer of the Original   Contract; times       3. An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess layer of the   amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule B attached   hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installment"   for that excess layer in Schedule B attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and   January 1 and April 1 of 2022.

As soon as possible after the termination or expiration of this Contract, the Company shall   provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess   layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and   any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each   such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.           
21\F7V1135   Page 4      Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.        
 
21\F7V1135   Page 5      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
21\F7V1135   Page 6      Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
21\F7V1135   Page 7      Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;        
21\F7V1135   Page 8       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
21\F7V1135   Page 9      Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
21\F7V1135   Page 10      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,   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 18 - 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.        
 
21\F7V1135   Page 11         Article 19 - 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 20 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 21 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
21\F7V1135   Page 12      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 22 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 24 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.

Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 25 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder.

The Subscribing Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation,   receivership, supervision, administration, winding-up or under a scheme of   arrangement, or similar proceedings (whether voluntary or involuntary) or proceedings   have been instituted against the Subscribing Reinsurer for the appointment of a   receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, supervisor, administrator, conservator or trustee in   bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets   or control of its operations; or       7. The Subscribing Reinsurer has reinsured its entire liability under this Contract without   the Company's prior written consent; or       8. The Subscribing Reinsurer has ceased assuming new or renewal property or casualty   treaty reinsurance business; or       9.

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.           
 
  21\F7V1136   Page 3      Article 3 - Concurrency of Conditions   A. It is agreed that this Contract will follow the terms, conditions, exclusions, definitions,   warranties and settlements of the Company under the Original Contract, which are not   inconsistent with the provisions of this Contract.      B. The Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any material changes in the Original Contract   which may affect the liability of the Reinsurer under this Contract.         Article 4 - Premium   A. As premium for the reinsurance coverage provided hereunder for each excess layer for the   term of this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the product of the following (or a   pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months and for   purposes of calculating subparagraph 3 below, the term of the Original Contract is a full   12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Reinstatement Factor" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto; times       2. The Final Adjusted Rate on Line for the corresponding excess layer of the Original   Contract; times       3. An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess layer of the   amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule B attached   hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installment"   for that excess layer in Schedule B attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and   January 1 and April 1 of 2022.

  21\F7V1136   Page 4      Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.        
 
  21\F7V1136   Page 5      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.           
  21\F7V1136   Page 6      Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 10 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.           
 
  21\F7V1136   Page 7      Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 15 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;        
  21\F7V1136   Page 8       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1136   Page 9      Article 16 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1136   Page 10      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,   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 18 - 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.        
 
  21\F7V1136   Page 11         Article 19 - 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 20 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 21 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1136   Page 12      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 22 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 24 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile.

For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."         Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   As respects Coverage B, the Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of   coverage and shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense   recoveries paid by the FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the   Company shall inure to the benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate   net loss hereunder. Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the   Company in accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth   therein and will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's   claims-paying capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Definitions   A.

  21\F7V1137   Page 6      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C. "Policies" as used in this Contract shall mean all policies, contracts and binders of   insurance or reinsurance.      D. "Ultimate net loss" as used in this Contract shall mean the sum or sums (including loss in   excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as   defined herein) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction   of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all   recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.   Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not   recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.         Article 9 - Loss Occurrence   A. The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of     
 
  21\F7V1137   Page 7      Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which     
  21\F7V1137   Page 8      commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates     
 
  21\F7V1137   Page 9      related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   As premium for reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the   Reinsurer an annual deposit premium of the amount, shown as "Reinsurance Premium" in   Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Premium   Installment" in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and on January 1   and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no deposit   premium installments due after the effective date of termination.         Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.     
  21\F7V1137   Page 10            Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not     
 
  21\F7V1137   Page 11      specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.     
  21\F7V1137   Page 12         D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 18 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 19 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 20 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.           
 
  21\F7V1137   Page 13      Article 21 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 22 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 23 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 24 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 25 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or     
  21\F7V1137   Page 14      banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.        
 
  21\F7V1137   Page 15       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 26 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 27 - 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 Lloyd's   London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within     
  21\F7V1137   Page 16      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,   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 28 - 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     
 
  21\F7V1137   Page 17      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 29 - 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 30 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 31 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.     
  21\F7V1137   Page 18         D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 32 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 33 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 34 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or

Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 35 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premiums,   return premiums, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss   settlements) relating to this Contract will be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer   through the Intermediary. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the   Company.         In Witness Whereof, the Company by its duly authorized representatives has executed this   Contract as of the dates specified below:      This 21st day of September in the year 2021 .      FedNat Insurance Company      /s/ Michael Braun         This 21st day of September in the year 2021 .      Monarch National Insurance Company      /s/ Michael Braun

This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I.

  21\F7V1137   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\F7V1137   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

1.As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such payment.

2.Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

3.As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

    For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the Intermediary.

D.    Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.

Article 27 - Insolvency
A.    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 on the basis of the liability of the Company 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
21\F7V1138
Page 16

as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

B.    Where two or more Subscribing 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.

C.    It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.


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 Lloyd's 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, 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.

21\F7V1138

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.

D.    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 or all of the Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article.

2.    Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage) to:

iv.Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes or other products of nuclear fission.

3.    Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate

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
21\F7V1138
Page 1 of 2




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 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.The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.

7.If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in determining the assessment.

C.    The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as follows:

1.As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract.

2.Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

E.    Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more items over the course of any 12-month period.

1.Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or

2.Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or

3.Cash advances;

21\F7V1139

    if the Reinsurer:

1.Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the insurance regulatory authorities involved; or

2.Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this Contract.

    The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.

B.    With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:

1.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

2.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

3.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

4.To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;

5.To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.

    In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.

Article 16 - Insolvency
A.    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 on the basis of the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

B.    Where two or more Subscribing 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.

C.    It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.


Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's 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.

21\F7V1139

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, 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 18 - 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.

The Company may require that any third-party representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party representative of the Reinsurer.

D.    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 or all of the Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article.

Furthermore, the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract.

G.    The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.


Article 22 - Non-Waiver
The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not:  (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.


Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)

B.    In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of each month as follows:

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

2.1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times

3.The amount past due, including accrued interest.

    It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.

C.    The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as follows:

1.As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such payment.

2.Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days,
21\F7V1140
Schedule B
IMAGE_01.JPG



interest will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

3.As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.

    For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the Intermediary.

D.    Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.

E.    Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more items over the course of any 12-month period.


Article 8 - Offset
The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.


Article 9 - Severability of Interests and Obligations
The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:
 
A.    Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company’s bank account.

21\F7V1140
Schedule B
IMAGE_01.JPG



B.    Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured party to the Contract.

C.    Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium remittance under the report.

D.    In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.

E.    Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named reinsured company.


Article 10 - Access to Records
The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company. "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.


Article 11 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)
Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as soon as possible after discovery.


Article 12 - Currency (BRMA 12A)
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.



21\F7V1140
Schedule B
IMAGE_01.JPG



Article 13 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)
In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of Columbia.


Article 14 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)
A.    The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise Tax.

B.    In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.


Article 15 - Reserves
A.    The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:

1.Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or

2.Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or

3.Cash advances;

    if the Reinsurer:

1.Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the insurance regulatory authorities involved; or

2.Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this Contract.

    The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.

21\F7V1140
Schedule B
IMAGE_01.JPG



B.    With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:

1.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

2.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

3.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

4.To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;

5.To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.

    In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.


Article 16 - Insolvency
A.    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 on the basis of the liability of the Company 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
21\F7V1140
Schedule B
IMAGE_01.JPG



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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

B.    Where two or more Subscribing 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.

C.    It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.


Article 17 - 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 Lloyd's 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\F7V1140
Schedule B
IMAGE_01.JPG



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 18 - 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 19 - 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.

The Company may require that any third-party representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party representative of the Reinsurer.

D.    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 or all of the Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article.

Furthermore, the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract.

G.    The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.


Article 22 - Non-Waiver
The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not:  (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.


Article 23 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)

1.Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or

2.Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or

3.Cash advances;

2.Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this Contract.

B.    With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:

1.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

2.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

3.To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;

4.To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;

5.To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.

    In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.


Article 27 - Insolvency
A.    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 on the basis of the liability of the Company 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,
21\F7V1141
Page 16
IMAGE_03.JPG


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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

B.    Where two or more Subscribing 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.

C.    It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.


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 Lloyd's 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, 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.
21\F7V1141

IMAGE_03.JPG



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)

If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party representative of the Reinsurer.

D.    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 or all of the Confidential Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in this Article.

Furthermore, the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract.

Article 33 - Non-Waiver

Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)

2.Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage) to:

3.Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate

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\F7V1141
Page 1 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.The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.

7.If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in determining the assessment.

  21\F7V1142   Page 5      Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   The Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of coverage and shall be   deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract.

In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. As respects the First Excess Layer, the Company shall not pay any additional   premium. As respects the Second Excess Layer through the Fifth Excess Layer, for each   amount so reinstated the Company agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product   of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that   excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, and shall be readjusted when the earned   reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally   determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess   layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for that excess layer)   shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by the Reinsurer of the   requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return reinstatement premium shown   to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after   receipt and verification of the Company's statement.        
  21\F7V1142   Page 6      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 9 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its     
 
  21\F7V1142   Page 7      insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS.

The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:     
 
  21\F7V1142   Page 9          1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 11 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 12 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.           
  21\F7V1142   Page 10      Article 13 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 14 - Reinsurance Premium   As premium for reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the   Reinsurer an annual deposit premium of the amount, shown as "Reinsurance Premium" in   Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Premium   Installment" in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and on January 1   and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no deposit   premium installments due after the effective date of termination.         Article 15 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 16 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times        
 
  21\F7V1142   Page 11       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.        
  21\F7V1142   Page 12      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 17 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 18 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 19 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.        
 
  21\F7V1142   Page 13         Article 20 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 21 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 22 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 23 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
  21\F7V1142   Page 14      Article 24 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 25 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 26 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
 
  21\F7V1142   Page 15      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 27 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
  21\F7V1142   Page 16      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1142   Page 17      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\F7V1142   Page 18         Article 32 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
 
  21\F7V1142   Page 19      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 33 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 34 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 35 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.

Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer.

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\F7V1142   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

"Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which     
21\F7V1143   Page 8      commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates     
 
21\F7V1143   Page 9      related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   As premium for reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the   Reinsurer an annual deposit premium of the amount, shown as "Reinsurance Premium" in   Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Premium   Installment" in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and on January 1   and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no deposit   premium installments due after the effective date of termination.         Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.     
21\F7V1143   Page 10            Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not     
 
21\F7V1143   Page 11      specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.     
21\F7V1143   Page 12         D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 18 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 19 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 20 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.           
 
21\F7V1143   Page 13      Article 21 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 22 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 23 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 24 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 25 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or     
21\F7V1143   Page 14      banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.        
 
21\F7V1143   Page 15       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 26 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 27 - 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 Lloyd's   London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within     
21\F7V1143   Page 16      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,   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 28 - 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     
 
21\F7V1143   Page 17      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 29 - 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 30 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 31 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article.

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\F7V1143   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

Coverage A: As respects policies written by SageSure Insurance Managers LLC, the   Company shall retain and be liable for the first $450,000,000 of ultimate net loss arising out   of each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable, as respects each excess layer,   for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company's applicable   retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer under each excess layer shall not exceed the   amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for the excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence, nor shall it exceed the amount,   shown as the "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for the excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto,   as respects all loss occurrences during the term of this Contract.      B. Coverage B: As respects all other policies, the Company shall retain and be liable for the   first $388,000,000 of ultimate net loss arising out of each loss occurrence.

Notwithstanding the provisions above, no claim shall be made hereunder as respects   losses arising out of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract unless   at least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in such loss   occurrence. For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."         Article 6 - Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund   As respects Coverage B, the Company has purchased 90.0% of the FHCF mandatory layer of   coverage and shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. Loss adjustment expense   recoveries paid by the FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the   Company shall inure to the benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate   net loss hereunder. Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the   Company in accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth   therein and will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's   claims-paying capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.        
  21\F7V1144   Page 6      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C. "Policies" as used in this Contract shall mean all policies, contracts and binders of   insurance or reinsurance.      D. "Ultimate net loss" as used in this Contract shall mean the sum or sums (including loss in   excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as   defined herein) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction   of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all   recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.   Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not   recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.         Article 9 - Loss Occurrence   A. The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of     
 
  21\F7V1144   Page 7      Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which     
  21\F7V1144   Page 8      commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates     
 
  21\F7V1144   Page 9      related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   As premium for reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the   Reinsurer an annual deposit premium of the amount, shown as "Reinsurance Premium" in   Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Premium   Installment" in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and on January 1   and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there shall be no deposit   premium installments due after the effective date of termination.         Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.     
  21\F7V1144   Page 10            Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not     
 
  21\F7V1144   Page 11      specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.     
  21\F7V1144   Page 12         D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.      E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 18 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 19 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 20 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.           
 
  21\F7V1144   Page 13      Article 21 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 22 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 23 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 24 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 25 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or     
  21\F7V1144   Page 14      banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.        
 
  21\F7V1144   Page 15       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 26 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 27 - 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 Lloyd's   London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within     
  21\F7V1144   Page 16      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,   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 28 - 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     
 
  21\F7V1144   Page 17      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 29 - 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 30 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 31 - Confidentiality   A.

Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.     
  21\F7V1144   Page 18         D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E.

The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 32 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 33 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 34 - Notices and Contract Execution   A.

  21\F7V1144      Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.)         1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III.

Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5.

  21\F7V1144   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\F7V1144   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

  21\F7V1107   Page 5      occurrence. For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."         Article 6 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. For each amount so reinstated the Company shall pay additional premium equal to   the product of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the annual deposit premium for that excess layer and shall   be readjusted when the earned reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of   this Contract has been finally determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the   Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if   any, for that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by   the Reinsurer of the requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return   reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer   as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of the Company's statement.      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.        
  21\F7V1107   Page 6         Article 8 - Definitions   A.

"Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting   individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS.

The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.        
 
  21\F7V1107   Page 9       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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     
  21\F7V1107   Page 10      claims arising out of such rights, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1.

The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.           
 
  21\F7V1107   Page 11      Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest     
  21\F7V1107   Page 12      shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
 
  21\F7V1107   Page 13      Article 18 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 19 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 20 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 21 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
  21\F7V1107   Page 14      Article 22 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 23 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 24 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
 
  21\F7V1107   Page 15      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 25 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
  21\F7V1107   Page 16      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 26 - 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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1107   Page 17      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 27 - 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 28 - 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 29 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.        
  21\F7V1107   Page 18         Article 30 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
 
  21\F7V1107   Page 19      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 31 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 32 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B.

Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 33 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premiums,   return premiums, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss   settlements) relating to this Contract will be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer   through the Intermediary. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary will be deemed

Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III.

  21\F7V1107   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\F7V1107   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the   Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if   any, for that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by   the Reinsurer of the requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer.

As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which     
  21\F7V1119   Page 8      commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.     
 
  21\F7V1119   Page 9         B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3     
  21\F7V1119   Page 10      and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times     
 
  21\F7V1119   Page 11          2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other     
  21\F7V1119   Page 12      party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 18 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 19 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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     
 
  21\F7V1119   Page 13      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 20 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 21 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 22 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 23 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 24 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be     
  21\F7V1119   Page 14      unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;        
 
  21\F7V1119   Page 15       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 25 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 26 - 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     
  21\F7V1119   Page 16      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 Lloyd's   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,   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 27 - 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     
 
  21\F7V1119   Page 17      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 28 - 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 29 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 30 - Confidentiality   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.

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\F7V1119   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

Coverage A: As respects each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this   Contract, the Company shall retain and be liable for the first amount of ultimate net loss,   shown as "Company's Retention" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto,   arising out of each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable, as respects each   excess layer, for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company's   applicable retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer under each excess layer shall not   exceed the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence.      B. Coverage B: The Company shall retain and be liable for the first $3,000,000 of ultimate net   loss arising out of each loss occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable for the amount   by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company's retention (subject to the provisions   of the subparagraph below), but the liability of the Reinsurer under this Coverage B shall   not exceed the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" in Schedule A   attached hereto, as respects any one loss occurrence, nor shall it exceed the amount   shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" in Schedule A attached hereto, in all during the term of   this Contract.       Notwithstanding the provisions of the subparagraph above, no claim shall be made   hereunder unless and until the Company's subject excess ultimate net loss arising out of   loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract exceeds $27,000,000 in the   aggregate.

Notwithstanding the provisions above, no claim shall be made hereunder as respects   losses arising out of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract unless   at least two risks insured or reinsured by the Company are involved in such loss     
 
21\F7V1121   Page 5      occurrence. For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."         Article 6 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. For each amount so reinstated the Company shall pay additional premium equal to   the product of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the annual deposit premium for that excess layer and shall   be readjusted when the earned reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of   this Contract has been finally determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the   Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if   any, for that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by   the Reinsurer of the requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return   reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer   as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of the Company's statement.      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.        
21\F7V1121   Page 6         Article 8 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting   individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other

"Ultimate net loss" as used in this Contract shall mean the sum or sums (including loss in   excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as   defined herein) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction   of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all   recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.   Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not   recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.         Article 9 - Loss Occurrence   A. The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.        
21\F7V1121   Page 8       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.        
 
21\F7V1121   Page 9       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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     
21\F7V1121   Page 10      claims arising out of such rights, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.           
 
21\F7V1121   Page 11      Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest     
21\F7V1121   Page 12      shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
 
21\F7V1121   Page 13      Article 18 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 19 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 20 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 21 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
21\F7V1121   Page 14      Article 22 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 23 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 24 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
 
21\F7V1121   Page 15      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 25 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
21\F7V1121   Page 16      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 26 - 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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1121   Page 17      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 27 - 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 28 - 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 29 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.        
21\F7V1121   Page 18         Article 30 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
 
21\F7V1121   Page 19      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 31 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 32 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 33 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder.

21\F7V1121      Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.)         1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5. It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the   nuclear exposure is not considered by the Reassured to be the primary hazard.      6. The term "special nuclear material" shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law   amendatory thereof.      7.

21\F7V1121   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\F7V1121   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

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 3 - Concurrency of Conditions   A.

  21\F7V1122   Page 3            Article 4 - Premium   A. As premium for the reinsurance coverage provided hereunder for each excess layer for the   term of this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer the product of the following (or a   pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months and for   purposes of calculating subparagraph 3 below, the term of the Original Contract is a full   12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Reinstatement Factor" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto; times       2. The Final Adjusted Rate on Line for the corresponding excess layer of the Original   Contract; times       3. An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess layer of the   amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule B attached   hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installment"   for that excess layer in Schedule B attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and   January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there   shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of termination.      C. As soon as possible after the termination or expiration of this Contract, the Company shall   provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess   layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and   any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each   such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.         Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.           
  21\F7V1122   Page 4      Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the     
 
  21\F7V1122   Page 5      payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 9 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
  21\F7V1122   Page 6      Article 10 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 11 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   A. Whenever the word "Dollars" or the "$" 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 12 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 13 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 14 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or     
 
  21\F7V1122   Page 7      banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.        
  21\F7V1122   Page 8       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 15 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 16 - 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 Lloyd's   London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within     
 
  21\F7V1122   Page 9      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,   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 17 - 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     
  21\F7V1122   Page 10      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 18 - 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 19 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 20 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B.

Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the   Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if   any, for that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by   the Reinsurer of the requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return   reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer   as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of the Company's statement.      C.

Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C.

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another.

For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a     
 
21\F7V1126   Page 9      claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].     
21\F7V1126   Page 10         B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.        
 
21\F7V1126   Page 11      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,     
21\F7V1126   Page 12      or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 18 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.           
 
21\F7V1126   Page 13      Article 19 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 20 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 21 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 22 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 23 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.        
21\F7V1126   Page 14      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 24 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;        
 
21\F7V1126   Page 15       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 25 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118(a) of     
21\F7V1126   Page 16      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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 26 - 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 Lloyd's   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,   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.           
 
21\F7V1126   Page 17      Article 27 - 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 28 - 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 29 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 30 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,     
21\F7V1126   Page 18      underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 31 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and     
 
21\F7V1126   Page 19      complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 32 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 33 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder.

21\F7V1126   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\F7V1126   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C. "Policies" as used in this Contract shall mean all policies, contracts and binders of   insurance or reinsurance.        
21\F7V1127   Page 6      D. "Ultimate net loss" as used in this Contract shall mean the sum or sums (including loss in   excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as   defined herein) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction   of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all   recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.   Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not   recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.         Article 8 - Loss Occurrence   A. The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the     
 
21\F7V1127   Page 7      event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.        
21\F7V1127   Page 8      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 9 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 10 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 11 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.           
 
21\F7V1127   Page 9      Article 12 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before May 31, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.         Article 13 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction     
21\F7V1127   Page 10      under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 14 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as     
 
21\F7V1127   Page 11      provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 15 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 16 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 17 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this     
21\F7V1127   Page 12      be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 18 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 19 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 20 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 21 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.           
 
21\F7V1127   Page 13      Article 22 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 23 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or     
21\F7V1127   Page 14      its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 24 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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     
 
21\F7V1127   Page 15      accordance with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by   the Company.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 25 - 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 Lloyd's   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,   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.        
21\F7V1127   Page 16      E.

21\F7V1127   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.

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\F7V1127   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

The amount, shown as "Reinstatement Factor" for that excess layer in Schedule B   attached hereto; times       2. The Final Adjusted Rate on Line for the corresponding excess layer of the Original   Contract; times       3. An amount equal to 100% reinsurance placement percentage under each excess   layer of the Original Contract of the final adjusted premium paid by the Company for   the corresponding excess layer of the Original Contract.       "Final Adjusted Rate on Line" as used herein shall mean an amount equal to a 100%   reinsurance placement percentage under each excess layer of the Original Contract of the   final adjusted premium paid by the Company for the corresponding excess layer of the   Original Contract divided by the amount, shown as the "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit"   for that excess layer under the Original Contract in Schedule A attached hereto.      B. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer a deposit premium for each excess layer of the   amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule B attached   hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Deposit Premium Installment"   for that excess layer in Schedule B attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of 2021, and   January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is terminated, there   shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of termination.      C. As soon as possible after the termination or expiration of this Contract, the Company shall   provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess   layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and   any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each   such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.         Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.           
  21\F7V1128   Page 4      Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the     
 
  21\F7V1128   Page 5      payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 9 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
  21\F7V1128   Page 6      Article 10 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 11 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   A. Whenever the word "Dollars" or the "$" 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 12 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 13 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 14 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or     
 
  21\F7V1128   Page 7      banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.        
  21\F7V1128   Page 8       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 15 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 16 - 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 Lloyd's   London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within     
 
  21\F7V1128   Page 9      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,   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 17 - 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     
  21\F7V1128   Page 10      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 18 - 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 19 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 20 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.     
 
  21\F7V1128   Page 11         D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 21 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 22 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;        
  21\F7V1128   Page 12       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 23 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premiums,   return premiums, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss   settlements) relating to this Contract will be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer   through the Intermediary. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the   Company.         In Witness Whereof, the Company by its duly authorized representative have executed this   Contract as of the dates specified below:      This 21st day of September in the year 2021 .      FedNat Insurance Company      /s/ Michael Braun

21\F7V1145   Page 5      occurrence. For purposes hereof, the Company shall be the sole judge of what constitutes   "one risk."         Article 6 - Reinstatement   A. In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon. For each amount so reinstated the Company shall pay additional premium equal to   the product of the following:       1. The percentage of the occurrence limit for the excess layer reinstated (based on the   ultimate net loss paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer); times       2. The earned reinsurance premium for the excess layer reinstated for the term of this   Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).      B. Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer. If the earned reinsurance   premium for any excess layer for the term of this Contract has not been finally determined   as of the date of any such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that   excess layer shall be based on the annual deposit premium for that excess layer and shall   be readjusted when the earned reinsurance premium for that excess layer for the term of   this Contract has been finally determined. Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the   Reinsurer for any excess layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if   any, for that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with payment by   the Reinsurer of the requested ultimate net loss for that excess layer. Any return   reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted by the Reinsurer   as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of the Company's statement.      C. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the liability of the Reinsurer for ultimate net loss   under any excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract shall not exceed   either of the following:       1. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence Limit" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto, as respects loss or losses arising out of any one loss   occurrence; or       2. The amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in all during the term of this Contract.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.        
21\F7V1145   Page 6         Article 8 - Definitions   A.

"Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting   individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS.

The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.        
 
21\F7V1145   Page 9       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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     
21\F7V1145   Page 10      claims arising out of such rights, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1.

The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.           
 
21\F7V1145   Page 11      Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest     
21\F7V1145   Page 12      shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
 
21\F7V1145   Page 13      Article 18 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 19 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 20 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 21 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
21\F7V1145   Page 14      Article 22 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 23 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 24 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
 
21\F7V1145   Page 15      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 25 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
21\F7V1145   Page 16      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 26 - 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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1145   Page 17      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 27 - 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 28 - 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 29 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.        
21\F7V1145   Page 18         Article 30 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
 
21\F7V1145   Page 19      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 31 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 32 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B.

Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 33 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premiums,   return premiums, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss   settlements) relating to this Contract will be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer   through the Intermediary. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary will be deemed

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\F7V1145   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance under any excess layer of reinsurance   coverage provided by this Contract is exhausted by ultimate net loss, the amount so   exhausted shall be reinstated immediately from the time the loss occurrence commences   hereon.

Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any ultimate net loss under   any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the Reinsurer of   reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess layer.

As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.        
  21\F7V1146   Page 8       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.        
 
  21\F7V1146   Page 9       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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     
  21\F7V1146   Page 10      claims arising out of such rights, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1. The amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto; times       2. The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.           
 
  21\F7V1146   Page 11      Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest     
  21\F7V1146   Page 12      shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
 
  21\F7V1146   Page 13      Article 18 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 19 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 20 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 21 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
  21\F7V1146   Page 14      Article 22 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 23 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 24 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
 
  21\F7V1146   Page 15      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 25 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
  21\F7V1146   Page 16      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 26 - 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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1146   Page 17      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 27 - 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 28 - 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 29 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.        
  21\F7V1146   Page 18         Article 30 - Confidentiality   A.

  21\F7V1146   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.

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\F7V1146   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012

As soon as possible after the termination or expiration of this Contract, the Company shall   provide a report to the Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for each excess   layer for the term of this Contract, computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and   any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each   such excess layer shall be remitted promptly.         Article 5 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.           
  21\F7V1147   Page 4      Article 6 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original   Contract appear likely to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the   Reinsurer. The Company will advise the Reinsurer of all subsequent developments relating   to such claims that, in the opinion of the Company, may materially affect the position of the   Reinsurer.      B. All reinstatement premium settlements made by the Company under the Original Contract,   provided they are within the terms of the Original Contract and within the terms of this   Contract, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts   for which it may be liable within 10 days of receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount   paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.         Article 7 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the     
 
  21\F7V1147   Page 5      payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 8 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 9 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
  21\F7V1147   Page 6      Article 10 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 11 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   A. Whenever the word "Dollars" or the "$" 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 12 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 13 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 14 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss reserves (being the sum of all   reinstatement premiums paid by the Company under the Original Contract but not yet   recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the Company's reserves for reinstatement premium due   under the Original Contract, if any) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or     
 
  21\F7V1147   Page 7      banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's Financial Strength Rating equal to or below B++ at the   inception of this Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of reinstatement premiums paid by the   Company under the terms of the Original Contract, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including, but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.        
  21\F7V1147   Page 8       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 15 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 16 - 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 Lloyd's   London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within     
 
  21\F7V1147   Page 9      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,   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 17 - 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     
  21\F7V1147   Page 10      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 18 - 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 19 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 20 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.     
 
  21\F7V1147   Page 11         D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 21 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 22 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;        
  21\F7V1147   Page 12       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent. For the   purposes of this Contract, the terms "electronic record," "electronic signature" and   "electronic agent" shall have the meanings set forth in the Electronic Signatures in   Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 or any amendments thereto.      C. This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 23 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premiums,   return premiums, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss   settlements) relating to this Contract will be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer   through the Intermediary. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the   Company.         In Witness Whereof, the Company by its duly authorized representative have executed this   Contract as of the dates specified below:      This 21st day of September in the year 2021 .      FedNat Insurance Company      /s/ Michael Braun

The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of   Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS.

However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which   commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.        
  21\F7V1148   Page 8       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 9 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's retention hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a   claim, the Company shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers and shall provide updates   related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 10 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 11 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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     
 
  21\F7V1148   Page 9      claims arising out of such rights, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 12 - Reinsurance Premium   A. As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the   Company shall pay the Reinsurer a premium equal to the product of the following (or a pro   rata portion thereof in the event the term of this Contract is less than 12 months), subject to   a minimum premium of the amount, shown as "Minimum Premium" for that excess layer in   Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof in the event the term of this   Contract is less than 12 months):       1.

The percentage calculated by dividing (a) the actual Probable Maximum Loss ("PML")   determined by the Company's wind insurance in force on September 30, 2021, by   (b) the original PML of $[***].      B. The Company's PML shall be derived by averaging the applicable data for the 20-year and   100-year return period produced by Applied Insurance Research (AIR) Touchstone v7.3   and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) RiskLink v18.1 catastrophe modeling software, in   the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but   excluding storm surge.    For informational purposes, to follow is the estimated PML based on the estimated 9-30-   2021 PML:      Software 20-Year PML 100-Year PML Average 20 & 100   AIR v7.3 $[***] $[***] $[***]   RMS v18.1 $[***] $[***] $[***]      Estimated PML at 9-30-2021 (average AIR & RMS): $[***]      C. The Company shall pay the Reinsurer an annual deposit premium for each excess layer of   the amount, shown as "Annual Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A   attached hereto, in four equal installments of the amount, shown as "Quarterly Deposit   Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, on July 1 and October 1 of   2021, and on January 1 and April 1 of 2022. However, in the event this Contract is   terminated, there shall be no deposit premium installments due after the effective date of   termination.      D. On or before June 30, 2022, the Company shall provide a report to the Reinsurer setting   forth the premium due hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract,   computed in accordance with paragraph A above, and any additional premium due the   Reinsurer or return premium due the Company for each such excess layer shall be remitted   promptly.           
  21\F7V1148   Page 10      Article 13 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.         Article 14 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest     
 
  21\F7V1148   Page 11      shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 15 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 16 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.           
  21\F7V1148   Page 12      Article 17 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 18 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 19 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such   delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 20 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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.           
 
  21\F7V1148   Page 13      Article 21 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 22 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 23 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.        
  21\F7V1148   Page 14      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.         Article 24 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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     
 
  21\F7V1148   Page 15      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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 25 - 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 Lloyd's   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\F7V1148   Page 16      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 26 - 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 27 - 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 28 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.        
 
  21\F7V1148   Page 17         Article 29 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to   use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential     
  21\F7V1148   Page 18      Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 30 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 31 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.      B. The use of any of the following shall constitute a valid execution of this Contract or any   amendments thereto:       1. Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3. Electronic records with an electronic signature made via an electronic agent.

This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when duly   executed, shall be deemed an original.         Article 32 - Intermediary   Aon Benfield Inc., or one of its affiliated corporations duly licensed as a reinsurance   intermediary, is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all business   hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premiums,   return premiums, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss   settlements) relating to this Contract will be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer   through the Intermediary. Payments by the Company to the Intermediary will be deemed   payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary will be deemed     
 
  21\F7V1148   Page 19      payment to the Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the   Company.         In Witness Whereof, the Company by its duly authorized representative has executed this   Contract as of the date specified below:      This 21st day of September in the year 2021 .      FedNat Insurance Company      /s/ Michael Braun

  21\F7V1148      War Exclusion Clause            As regards interests which at time of loss or damage are on shore, no liability shall attach hereto   in respect of any loss or damage which is occasioned by war, invasion, hostilities, acts of   foreign enemies, civil war, rebellion, insurrection, military or usurped power, or martial law or   confiscation by order of any government or public authority.        
  21\F7V1148      Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.)         1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5. It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the   nuclear exposure is not considered by the Reassured to be the primary hazard.      6. The term "special nuclear material" shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law   amendatory thereof.      7.

  21\F7V1148   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\F7V1148   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.

        EFFECTIVE: JULY 1, 2021 1. FIN_5166.4         NET QUOTA SHARE REINSURANCE AGREEMENT   NO. FIN_5166.4   (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement")      between      FEDNAT INSURANCE COMPANY   Sunrise, Florida    (hereinafter referred to as the "Company")      and      SWISS REINSURANCE AMERICA CORPORATION   Armonk, New York   (hereinafter referred to as the "Reinsurer")         ARTICLE I - BUSINESS COVERED      A. By this Agreement the Company obligates itself to cede to the Reinsurer and the   Reinsurer obligates itself to accept from the Company a 20% Quota Share   participation of the Company's Ultimate Net Liability for Policies in force as of July   1, 2021, and new and renewal Policies becoming effective on or after July 1, 2021,   as respects losses occurring on or after July 1, 2021, subject to Paragraph B. This   Quota Share is subject to the maximum cession limits set forth below:      1. Property Business      $[***] each risk (20% share of the Company's Ultimate Net Liability of $[***]),   but in no event shall the Reinsurer's liability from all risks in any one Loss   Occurrence exceed $[***] (20% of $[***]). It is understood that the   Company's $[***] limit reflects their portion of the retention under the   Company's Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Agreement of July 1,   2021 ("Common Agreement") which also reinsures Monarch National   Insurance Company and Maison Insurance Company (neither of which are   subject to this Agreement). Should the event from which a Loss Occurrence   hereunder arises also include losses sustained by Monarch National   Insurance Company and/or Maison Insurance Company under the   Common Agreement, the $[***] limit addressed in this paragraph could be   reduced proportionately to reflect the Company’s retained share of the total   losses under the retention of the Common Agreement.      Notwithstanding the limits stated above, the Reinsurer's liability shall not   exceed $[***] (20% of $[***]) as respects all Loss Occurrences taking place   during the term of this Agreement.      2. Casualty Business        
        EFFECTIVE: JULY 1, 2021 2. FIN_5166.4         $[***] each Policy each Loss Occurrence (20% share of the Company's   Ultimate Net Liability of $[***].)      B. The cession percentage set forth in Paragraph A. of this Article may be adjusted up   to three times during the Agreement Year, subject to the following:      1. The Company has provided the Reinsurer no less than 45 day's written   notice prior to the end of any calendar quarter during the Agreement Year,   of its desire to adjust the cession percentage prospectively.      2. The adjusted cession percentage shall not be less than 2% nor greater than   20%.      3. The cession adjustment is to take effect as respects in force, new and   renewal business on a prospective basis on the last day of the calendar   quarter in which such notice was given as respects Loss Occurrences taking   place on or after such date;      4. Such cession adjustment shall be at the election of the Company only if the   Loss Ratio from Agreement inception through the end of the quarter in which   such notice was given is less than or equal to 30%.      5. If such Loss Ratio is greater than 30%, any such cession adjustment must   be mutually agreed by both parties.      6. Mutual agreement of the parties to any cession adjustment is evidenced by   addendum to this Agreement signed by both parties.      For purposes of this Paragraph B., "Loss Ratio" shall mean the actual ratio of   Incurred Losses to Earned Premiums from Agreement inception to the end of the   calendar quarter for which calculation is being made. The terms "Incurred Losses"   and "Earned Premiums" shall be defined as they are under Article X - Sliding Scale   Commission, provided however, as respects Incurred Losses, there will be no   Incurred But Not Reported ("IBNR") losses included.      C. Loss Adjustment Expenses and any loss arising under this Agreement with respect   to Loss In Excess of Policy Limits and Extra Contractual Obligations, as defined   herein, shall be recovered in the same proportion as the contractual loss   recoverable hereunder; provided such contractual loss plus Loss Adjustment   Expenses, Loss In Excess of Policy Limits and Extra Contractual Obligations shall   never exceed the maximum cession limits set forth under Paragraph A. above.   D. This Agreement is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and nothing   contained in this Agreement shall create any obligations or establish any rights   against the Reinsurer in favor of any person or entity not a party hereto.      E. The performance of obligations by both parties under this Agreement shall be in   accordance with a fiduciary standard of good faith and fair dealing.

Alternatively, at the Company's option, and provided written notice of the   Company's election of such option is given to the Reinsurer by certified mail,   electronic mail or by a courier service each producing evidence of receipt   by the Reinsurer prior to the date of termination, this Agreement will   terminate on a "Run-off" basis and the Reinsurer shall be liable for losses   occurring on or after to the date of termination for all Policies covered   hereunder and in force at the date of termination of this Agreement until   their natural expiry, cancellation or next anniversary of such business,   whichever first occurs; but in no case shall the Reinsurer be liable for losses   occurring more than 12 months after the termination date unless the   Company is required by statute or regulation to continue coverage on a   Policy. In such case, the Reinsurer shall continue to be liable for losses   occurring subsequent to the date of termination until the earliest date on   which the Company may cancel such Policy. The Reinsurer shall return to   the Company the unearned premiums, if any, less commissions applicable,   for the unexpired periods.         ARTICLE III – TERRITORY       As respects Property Business, this Agreement applies to risks located in Florida.

In the event there is a cession adjustment pursuant to Paragraph B. of Article I –   Business Covered, the Company's net retention shall be revised to reflect the   difference between the revised cession percentage and 100% as of the effective   date of the change.         ARTICLE V – DEFINITIONS      A. AGREEMENT YEAR       "Agreement Year" shall mean the 12-month period commencing July 1, 2021 and   continuing through June 30, 2022.      B.

In addition, the Company   shall promptly notify the Reinsurer of any Declaratory Judgment Expenses subject   to this Agreement.      C. EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS      1. "Extra Contractual Obligations" are defined as those liabilities not covered   under any other provision of this Agreement and which 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 in the preparation   or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.        
 
        EFFECTIVE: JULY 1, 2021 5. FIN_5166.4         2.

However, coverage hereunder as respects Extra Contractual Obligations   shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to the 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.      4. Recoveries, collectibles or retention from any other form of insurance or   reinsurance including deductibles or self-insured retention which protect the   Company against Extra Contractual Obligations, whether collectible or not,   shall inure to the benefit of the Reinsurer and shall be deducted from the   total amount of Extra Contractual Obligations for purposes of determining   the loss hereunder.      5. If any provision of this paragraph 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 Article or the   enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.      D. GROSS PREMIUMS WRITTEN       "Gross Premiums Written" shall mean the Company's written premiums for subject   business less return premiums.      E.

When two or more buildings are situated at the same general location, the   Company shall identify on its records at the time of acceptance by the   Company, those individual buildings and all insurable values contained   therein that are considered to constitute each risk.

Loss adjustment expense recoveries paid by the   FHCF in excess of the actual loss adjustment expense paid by the Company shall inure to the   benefit of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of ultimate net loss hereunder.   Further, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in   accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and   will be deemed not to be reduced by any reduction or exhaustion of the FHCF's claims-paying   capacity as respects the mandatory FHCF coverage.         Article 7 - Other Reinsurance   The Company shall be permitted to carry other reinsurance, recoveries under which shall inure   solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions   of this Contract.         Article 8 - Definitions   A. "Loss adjustment expense," regardless of how such expenses are classified for statutory   reporting purposes, as used in this Contract shall mean all costs and expenses allocable to   a specific claim that are incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal,   adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense or appeal of a specific claim, including court   costs and costs of supersedeas and appeal bonds, and including a) pre-judgment interest,   unless included as part of the award or judgment; b) post-judgment interest; c) legal   expenses and costs incurred in connection with coverage questions and legal actions   connected thereto, including Declaratory Judgment Expense; and d) expenses and a pro   rata share of salaries of the Company field employees, and expenses of other Company   employees who have been temporarily diverted from their normal and customary duties and   assigned to the field adjustment of losses covered by this Contract.       Loss adjustment expense as defined above does not include unallocated loss adjustment   expense. Unallocated loss adjustment expense includes, but is not limited to, salaries and   expenses of employees, other than in (d) above, and office and other overhead expenses.        
  21\F7V1120   Page 6      B. "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract   shall mean:       1. "Loss in excess of policy limits" shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by   the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,   such loss in excess of the Company's policy limits having been incurred because of,   but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason   of the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. Any loss in excess of policy limits that is made in connection   with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       2. "Extra contractual obligations" shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,   compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not   covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of   any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but   not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of   the Company's 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 an action against its   insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent   upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all   circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to   be covered under the policy. Any extra contractual obligations that are made in   connection with this Contract shall not exceed 25.0% of the actual catastrophe loss.       Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess   of policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of   any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director 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.      C. "Policies" as used in this Contract shall mean all policies, contracts and binders of   insurance or reinsurance.      D. "Ultimate net loss" as used in this Contract shall mean the sum or sums (including loss in   excess of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and loss adjustment expense, as   defined herein) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in satisfaction   of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage, all   recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.   Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not   recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.         Article 9 - Loss Occurrence   A. The term "loss occurrence" shall mean the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned   by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out   of one event which occurs within the area of one state of the United States or province of     
 
  21\F7V1120   Page 7      Canada and states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another. However, the   duration and extent of any one "loss occurrence" shall be limited to all individual losses   sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out   of and directly occasioned by the same event, except that the term "loss occurrence" shall   be further defined as follows:       1. As regards a named storm, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring   during any period (a) from and after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date a   watch, warning, advisory, or other bulletin (whether for wind, flood or otherwise) for   such named storm is first issued by the National Hurricane Center ("NHC") or its   successor or any other division of the National Weather Service ("NWS"),   (b) continuing for a time period thereafter during which such named storm continues,   regardless of its category rating or lack thereof and regardless of whether the watch,   warning, or advisory or other bulletin remains in effect for such named storm and   (c) ending 96 hours following the issuance of the last watch, warning or advisory or   other bulletin for such named storm or related to such named storm by the NHC or its   successor or any other division of the NWS. "Named storm" shall mean any storm or   storm system that has been declared by the NHC or its successor or any other   division of the NWS to be a named storm at any time, which may include, by way of   example and not limitation, hurricane, wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, water damage, fire following, sprinkler   leakage, riots, vandalism, and collapse, and all losses and perils (including, by way of   example and not limitation, those mentioned previously in this sentence) in each case   arising out of, caused by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from such storm   or storm system, including by way of example and not limitation the merging of one or   more separate storm(s) or storm system(s) into a combined storm surge event.   However, the named storm need not be limited to one state or province or states or   provinces contiguous thereto.       2. As regards storm or storm systems that are not a named storm, including, by way of   example and not limitation, ensuing wind, gusts, typhoon, tropical storm, hail, rain,   tornados, cyclones, ensuing flood, storm surge, fire following, sprinkler leakage, riots,   vandalism, collapse and water damage, all individual losses sustained by the   Company occurring during any period of 144 consecutive hours arising out of, caused   by, occurring during, occasioned by or resulting from the same event. However, the   event need not be limited to one state or province or states or provinces contiguous   thereto.       3. As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious   mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period   of 96 consecutive hours within the area of one municipality or county and the   municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by   the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in   respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the   continued occupation of an assured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation   commenced during the aforesaid period.       4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the   territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire   following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which     
  21\F7V1120   Page 8      commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.       5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of   glass and water damage (caused by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included   in the Company's loss occurrence.       6. As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of   origin (except as provided in subparagraphs 3 and 4 above), all individual losses   sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 168 consecutive   hours within the area of one state of the United States or province of Canada and   states or provinces contiguous thereto and to one another may be included in the   Company's loss occurrence.      B. For all loss occurrences hereunder, the Company may choose the date and time when any   such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that no period commences 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 or series of disasters, accidents,   or losses. Furthermore:       1. For all loss occurrences other than those referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.2., and   A.3. above, only one such period of 168 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to   one event.       2. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraphs A.1. and A.2., only   one such period of consecutive hours (as set forth therein) shall apply with respect to   one event, regardless of the duration of the event.       3. As regards those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A.3. above, if the   disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses occasioned by   the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, then the Company may   divide that disaster, accident, or loss or series of disasters, accidents, or losses into   two or more loss occurrences, provided that no two periods overlap and no individual   loss is included in more than one such period.      C. It is understood that losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of   the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded   as respects the applicable perils, and no single loss occurrence shall encompass a time   period greater than 168 consecutive hours, except as regards those loss occurrences   referred to in subparagraphs A.1., A.4. and A.6. above.         Article 10 - Loss Notices and Settlements   A. Whenever losses sustained by the Company are reserved by the Company for an amount   greater than 50.0% of the Company's respective retention under any excess layer   hereunder and/or appear likely to result in a claim under such excess layer, the Company   shall notify the Subscribing Reinsurers under that excess layer and shall provide updates     
 
  21\F7V1120   Page 9      related to development of such losses. The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in   the adjustment of such losses at its own expense.      B. All loss settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this   Contract and the terms of the original policy (with the exception of loss in excess of policy   limits or extra contractual obligations coverage, if any, under this Contract), shall be binding   upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable   upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.         Article 11 - Cash Call   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of   the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or   settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made)   within the next 20 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory   proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 10 days from the date the demand for   payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.         Article 12 - Salvage and Subrogation   The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by   the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the   Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making   such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage   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, if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to   do so.         Article 13 - Reinsurance Premium   As premium for reinsurance coverage provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay an   amount, shown as "Reinsurance Premium" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto   payable at the inception of this Contract.         Article 14 - Sanctions   Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under   this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction   under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the   European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.           
  21\F7V1120   Page 10      Article 15 - Late Payments   A. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in   writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.      B. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the   intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (hereinafter referred to as the   "Intermediary") by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may, by   notifying the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party   agrees to pay, an interest charge on the amount past due calculated for each such payment   on the last business day of each month as follows:       1. The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly   calculation, whichever the lesser; times       2. 1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street   Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times       3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.       It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus   interest charges have been received by the Intermediary.      C. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as   follows:       1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due   date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a   due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days   after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such   payment.       2. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 10 days   after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such   loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest will accrue on the   payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the   proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       3. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment   shall be deemed due 10 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the   Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 10 days, interest   shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B   above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.       4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise   provided for in subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this paragraph C, the due date shall be as   provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not   specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following   transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.        
 
  21\F7V1120   Page 11       For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid   upon receipt by the Intermediary.      D. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from   contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit,   or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any   arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the   debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due   hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such   proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall   be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise   determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is   contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other   party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on   the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.      E. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $1,000 or less from any   party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more   items over the course of any 12-month period.         Article 16 - Offset   The Company and the Reinsurer may offset any balance or amount due from one party to the   other under this Contract or any other contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between the   Company and the Reinsurer, whether acting as assuming reinsurer or ceding company. The   provisions of this Article shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party.         Article 17 - Severability of Interests and Obligations   The rights, duties and obligations set forth below shall apply as if this Contract were a separate   contract between the Subscribing Reinsurers and each named reinsured company:      A. Balances payable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under the   Contract shall not serve to offset any balances recoverable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract and balances payable shall be separated by named reinsured   company and paid directly to the appropriate named reinsured company's bank account.      B. Balances recoverable by any Subscribing Reinsurer to or from any reinsured party under   the Contract shall not serve to offset any balances payable to, or from, any other reinsured   party to the Contract.      C. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the applicable articles   of the Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer's loss obligations   due to each named reinsured company and each named reinsured company's premium   remittance under the report.      D. In the event of the insolvency of any of the parties to the Contract, offset shall be only   allowed in accordance with the laws of the insolvent party's state of domicile.     
  21\F7V1120   Page 12         E. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to provide a separate retention, Reinsurer's limit of   liability any one loss occurrence or Reinsurer's annual limit of liability for each named   reinsured company.         Article 18 - Access to Records   The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access at any reasonable time to all   records of the Company which pertain in any way to this reinsurance, provided the Reinsurer   gives the Company at least 15 days prior notice of request for such access. However, a   Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall not have any right of access to the   records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.   "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not   contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.         Article 19 - Liability of the Reinsurer   A. The liability of the Reinsurer shall follow that of the Company in every case and be subject   in all respects to all the general and specific stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications   of the Company's policies and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this   be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in   this Contract.      B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any rights against   the Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.         Article 20 - Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)   A. 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.      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 which may have become due from   such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other   reinsurer(s) or otherwise.         Article 21 - Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)   Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any transaction   hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such     
 
  21\F7V1120   Page 13      delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as   soon as possible after discovery.         Article 22 - Currency (BRMA 12A)   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 23 - Taxes (BRMA 50B)   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company will not claim a   deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or   profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of   Columbia.         Article 24 - Federal Excise Tax (BRMA 17D)   A. The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the   applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of   the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise   Tax.      B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct   the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its   agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.         Article 25 - Reserves   A. The Reinsurer agrees to fund its share of amounts, including but not limited to, the   Company's ceded unearned premium and outstanding loss and loss adjustment expense   reserves (including all case reserves plus any reasonable amount estimated to be   unreported from known loss occurrences) (hereinafter referred to as "Reinsurer's   Obligations") by:       1. Clean, irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit issued and confirmed, if   confirmation is required by the insurance regulatory authorities involved, by a bank or   banks meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of   letters of credit and acceptable to said insurance regulatory authorities; and/or       2. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company; and/or        
  21\F7V1120   Page 14       3. Cash advances;       if the Reinsurer:       1. Is unauthorized in any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia   having jurisdiction over the Company and if, without such funding, a penalty would   accrue to the Company on any financial statement it is required to file with the   insurance regulatory authorities involved; or       2. Has an A.M. Best Company's rating equal to or below B++ at the inception of this   Contract.       The Reinsurer, at its sole option, may fund in other than cash if its method and form of   funding are acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities involved.      B. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, it is agreed that each letter of   credit will be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, will be issued   for a term of at least one year and will include an "evergreen clause," which automatically   extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written   notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration   date. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree, notwithstanding anything to the   contrary in this Contract, that said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or   its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the   Company or the Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:       1. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums returned to   insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       2. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense   paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the   Reinsurer;       3. To reimburse itself for the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due   hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Reinsurer;       4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's share of amounts,   including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's Obligations as set forth above, funded by   means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has   not been renewed or replaced by the Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;       5. To refund to the Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund   the Reinsurer's share of amounts, including but not limited to, the Reinsurer's   Obligations as set forth above, if so requested by the Reinsurer.       In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the   actual amount required for B(1), B(2) or B(4), or in the case of B(3), the actual amount   determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess   amount so drawn.           
 
  21\F7V1120   Page 15      Article 26 - Insolvency   A. 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 on the basis of   the liability of the Company 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by   the Reinsurer.      B. Where two or more Subscribing 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.      C. It is further understood and 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 to its liquidator, receiver 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 payees under such   policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.         Article 27 - 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 Lloyd's   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.        
  21\F7V1120   Page 16      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,   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 28 - 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.        
 
  21\F7V1120   Page 17         Article 29 - 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 30 - Governing Law (BRMA 71B)   This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of   Florida.         Article 31 - Confidentiality   A. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to   it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the   placement and execution of this Contract, including all information obtained through any   audits and any claims information between the Company and the Reinsurer, and any   submission or other materials relating to any renewal (hereinafter referred to as   "Confidential Information") are proprietary and confidential to the Company.      B. Except as provided for in paragraph C below, the Reinsurer shall not disclose any   Confidential Information to any third parties, including but not limited to the Reinsurer's   subsidiaries and affiliates, other insurance companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates,   underwriting agencies, research organizations, any unaffiliated entity engaged in modeling   insurance or reinsurance data, and statistical rating organizations.      C. Confidential Information may be used by the Reinsurer only in connection with the   performance of its obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Contract and will only   be disclosed when required by (1) retrocessionaires subject to the business ceded to this   Contract, (2) regulators performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records and/or financial   condition, (3) external auditors performing an audit of the Reinsurer's records in the normal   course of business, or (4) the Reinsurer's legal counsel; provided that the Reinsurer   advises such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and their   obligation to maintain its confidentiality. The Company may require that any third-party   representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article   or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than   those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in   writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the   Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party   representative of the Reinsurer.      D. 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 or all of the Confidential   Information, the Reinsurer agrees to provide the Company with written notice of same at   least 10 days prior to such release or disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, and to     
  21\F7V1120   Page 18      use its best efforts to assist the Company in maintaining the confidentiality provided for in   this Article.      E. Any disclosure of Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information shall comply with all state   and federal statutes and regulations governing the disclosure of Non-Public Personally   Identifiable Information. "Non-Public Personally Identifiable Information" shall be defined as   this term or a similar term is defined in any applicable state, provincial, territory, or federal   law. Disclosing or using this information for any purpose not authorized by applicable law is   expressly forbidden without the prior consent of the Company.      F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client   privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "Privilege") shall not be disclosed to   the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such Privilege is deemed to be waived or   otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore,   the Reinsurer shall not assert that any Privilege otherwise applicable to the Confidential   Information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant   to this Contract.      G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the   Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.         Article 32 - Non-Waiver   The failure of the Company or Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise   any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not: (1) constitute a waiver of any rights contained   in this Contract, (2) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from thereafter demanding full and   complete compliance, (3) prevent the Company or Reinsurer from exercising such remedy in   the future, nor (4) affect the validity of this Contract or any part thereof.         Article 33 - Agency Agreement (BRMA 73A)   If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named   company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending   or receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of   remitting or receiving any monies due any party.         Article 34 - Notices and Contract Execution   A. Whenever a notice, statement, report or any other written communication is required by this   Contract, unless otherwise specified, such notice, statement, report or other written   communication may be transmitted by certified or registered mail, nationally or   internationally recognized express delivery service, personal delivery, electronic mail, or   facsimile. With the exception of notices of termination, first class mail is also acceptable.

Paper documents with an original ink signature;       2. Facsimile or electronic copies of paper documents showing an original ink signature;   and/or       3.

  21\F7V1120      War Exclusion Clause            As regards interests which at time of loss or damage are on shore, no liability shall attach hereto   in respect of any loss or damage which is occasioned by war, invasion, hostilities, acts of   foreign enemies, civil war, rebellion, insurrection, military or usurped power, or martial law or   confiscation by order of any government or public authority.        
 
  21\F7V1120      Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.)         1. This Reinsurance does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as   Insurer or Reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear   Energy risks.      2. Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance does not cover any loss   or liability accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance   against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage)   to:       I. Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or       II. Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with   reactor installations, and "critical facilities" as such, or       III. Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of "special nuclear   material," and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically separating, storing or disposing of "spent" nuclear fuel or   waste materials, or       IV. Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes   or other products of nuclear fission.      3. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear   installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate       (a) where Reassured does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or       (b) where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting   from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b)   shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the   Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.      4. Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance does not cover any   loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Reassured, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or   Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.      5. It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the   nuclear exposure is not considered by the Reassured to be the primary hazard.      6. The term "special nuclear material" shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law   amendatory thereof.      7. Reassured to be sole judge of what constitutes:       (a) substantial quantities, and       (b) the extent of installation, plant or site.      Note.-Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) hereof, it is understood and agreed that       (a) all policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st December 1957 shall be free from the application of the   other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the   provisions of this Clause shall apply.       (b) with respect to any risk located in Canada policies issued by the Reassured on or before 31st December 1958   shall be free from the application of the other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960   whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply.      12/12/57   N.M.A. 1119   BRMA 35B     
  21\F7V1120   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\F7V1120   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. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or   retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism   nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.       7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an   aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the   amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss   occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate   assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the   assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net   losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in   determining the assessment.      8/1/2012              
  21\F7V1120      Terrorism Exclusion   (Property Treaty Reinsurance)            Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary within this Contract or any amendment thereto, it   is agreed that this Contract excludes loss, damage, cost or expense directly or indirectly caused   by, contributed to by, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any act of terrorism,   as defined herein, regardless of any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any   other sequence to the loss.      An act of terrorism includes any act, or preparation in respect of action, or threat of action   designed to influence the government de jure or de facto of any nation or any political division   thereof, or in pursuit of political, religious, ideological or similar purposes to intimidate the public   or a section of the public of any nation by any person or group(s) of persons whether acting   alone or on behalf of or in connection with any organization(s) or government(s) de jure or   de facto, and which:       1. Involves violence against one or more persons, or       2. Involves damage to property; or       3. Endangers life other than the person committing the action; or       4. Creates a risk to health or safety of the public or a section of the public; or       5. Is designed to interfere with or disrupt an electronic system.      This Contract also excludes loss, damage, cost or expense directly or indirectly caused by,   contributed to by, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any action in controlling,   preventing, suppressing, retaliating against or responding to any act of terrorism.      Notwithstanding the above and subject otherwise to the terms, conditions, and limitations of this   Contract, in respect only of personal lines, this Contract will pay actual loss or damage (but not   related cost and expense) caused by any act of terrorism provided such act is not directly or   indirectly caused by, contributed to by, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with   radiological, biological, chemical, or nuclear pollution or contamination.
