The Company shall notify the Reinsurer of any impending claim likely to involve Extra Contractual Obligations as soon as practical after the Company has been notified of such claim, and such notification shall include a suggested course of action or inaction for the Reinsurer's review. The Reinsurer then has the obligation to notify the Company, in writing, of its decision to concur or not concur in the Company's suggested actions to be taken, or not taken. If the Reinsurer concurs with the Company's action, 100% of the Extra Contractual Obligations shall be added to the Company's loss, if any, under the Policy involved, and payment of such awarded damages will be shared by the Company and the Reinsurer in the proportions which govern this Agreement.

The Company shall not participate in extra-contractual damages which are awarded as a result of an act, omission, or course of conduct committed solely by the Reinsurer in connection with the insurance reinsured under this Agreement.

For purposes of this provision, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)

"Punitive damages" are those damages awarded as a penalty, the amount of which is not governed nor fixed by statute.

(b)

"Statutory penalties" are those amounts which are awarded as a penalty but fixed in amount by statute.

(c)

"Compensatory damages" are those amounts awarded to compensate for the actual damages sustained and are not awarded as a penalty nor fixed in amount by statute.

The language of this Article shall be deemed effective only as and to the extent permitted by the law of any applicable jurisdiction.

An Extra Contractual Obligation shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the Policy.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Agreement shall not apply to any Extra Contractual Obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act by a member of the board of directors, or by any officer, director or other employee 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.

Article XIV -

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Agreement 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 delay, error or omission will be rectified as soon as possible after discovery.

Article XV -

CURRENCY

All retentions and limits hereunder are expressed in United States dollars and all premium and loss payments shall be made in United States currency.

Article XVI -

INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY

In the event of Insolvency of the Company, all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor on the basis of the liability on the Company under the Policy or Policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company. It is understood, however that in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of the insolvent Company shall given written notice of 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 which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator or statutory successor.

Article XVII -

ARBITRATION

All unresolved differences of opinion between the Company and the Reinsurer relating to this Agreement, including its formation and validity, shall be submitted to arbitration consisting of one arbitrator chosen by the Company, one arbitrator chosen by the Reinsurer, and a third arbitrator chosen by the first two arbitrators.

The party demanding arbitration shall communicate its demand for arbitration to the other party by registered or certified mail, identifying the nature of the dispute and the name of its arbitrator, and the other party shall then be bound to name its arbitrator within 60 days after receipt of the demand.

Failure or refusal of the other party to so name its arbitrator shall empower the demanding party to name the second arbitrator. If the first two arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third arbitrator after the second arbitrator is named, each arbitrator shall name three candidates, two of whom shall be declined by the other arbitrator, and the choice shall be made between the two remaining candidates by drawing lots. The arbitrators shall be impartial and shall be active or retired officers of life and/or health insurance or reinsurance companies.

The arbitrators shall adopt their own rules and procedures and are relieved from judicial formalities. In addition to considering the rules of law and the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance business, the arbitrators shall make their award with a view to effecting the intent of this Agreement.

The decision of the majority of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties.

Each party shall bear the cost of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the third arbitrator and other costs of the arbitration. In the event both arbitrators are chosen by one party, the fees of all arbitrators shall be equally divided between the parties.

The arbitration shall be held in New York at the times agreed upon by the arbitrators.

Article XVIII

SEVERABILITY

If any part, term, or provision of this Agreement shall be held void, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining portion or portions shall not be affected thereby.

Article XIX -

CONFIDENTIALITY

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company and the Reinsurer each agree that all information communicated to it by the other, whether before the effective date or during the term of this Agreement, shall be used only for purposes of this Agreement, shall be received in strict confidence, and that no such information shall be disclosed by the recipient party, its agent or employees without the prior written consent of the other party. Each party agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure to outside parties of such information, except as may be necessary by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Reinsurer as the case may be and except for disclosure to the Reinsurer's retrocessionaires.
