B. | In the event of such termination, the liability of the subscribing reinsurer shall be terminated, at the Company’s option, either in accordance with the cutoff provisions of paragraph B of the TERM ARTICLE or in accordance with the runoff provisions of paragraph C of the TERM ARTICLE, and such termination shall be effective as of the date the subscribing reinsurer receives written notice of termination pursuant to paragraph A above.

C. | In the event the Company terminates a subscribing reinsurer’s share in this Contract under the provisions of this Article, the Company shall have the option to commute the excess liabilities of the subscribing reinsurer.

Losses resulting from Occupational or Industrial Disease or Cumulative Trauma suffered by employees of an insured for which the employer is liable, as a result of a sudden and accidental event not exceeding 72 hours in duration, shall be considered one Loss Occurrence and may be combined with losses classified as other than Occupational or Industrial Disease or Cumulative Trauma which arise out of the same event and the combination of such losses shall be considered as one Loss Occurrence within the meaning hereof.

A loss with respect to each employee affected by an Occupational Disease or Cumulative Trauma shall be deemed to have been sustained by the Company on the date of the beginning of the disability for which compensation is payable.

REINSTATEMENT

A. | Should all or any part of the Reinsurer’s limit of liability be exhausted as a result of a Loss Occurrence, the sum so exhausted shall be reinstated from the date the Loss Occurrence commenced.

| 1. | The percentage of the Reinsurer’s limit of liability exhausted for the Loss Occurrence; times

| 2. | The Net Earned Premium for the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).

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

C. | Nevertheless, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall not exceed $40,000,000 in respect of any one Loss Occurrence, and shall be further limited to $80,000,000 in respect of all losses occurring during the term of this Contract.

UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE

(Applies only to a subscribing reinsurer who does not qualify for full credit with any insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.)

A. | As regards Policies or bonds issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up on its books reserves for losses covered hereunder which it shall be required by

15

| law to set up, it will forward to the subscribing reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such reserves which is applicable to the subscribing reinsurer. The subscribing reinsurer hereby agrees to fund such reserves in respect of known outstanding losses that have been reported to the subscribing reinsurer and allocated Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto, losses and allocated Loss Adjustment Expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the subscribing reinsurer, plus reserves for losses incurred but not reported, as shown in the statement prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as “subscribing reinsurer’s obligations”) by funds withheld, cash advances or a Letter of Credit. The subscribing reinsurer shall have the option of determining the method of funding provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.

B. | When funding by a Letter of Credit, the subscribing reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit issued by a bank and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the subscribing reinsurer’s proportion of said reserves. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 30 days (60 days where required by insurance regulatory authorities) prior to any expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the Letter of Credit extended for any additional period.

C. | The subscribing reinsurer and Company agree that the Letters of Credit provided by the subscribing reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, and be utilized by the Company or any successor, by operation of law, of the Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company for the following purposes, unless otherwise provided for in a separate Trust Agreement:

| 1. | To reimburse the Company for the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations, the payment of which is due under the terms of this Contract and which has not been otherwise paid;

| 2. | To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations under this Contract;

| 3. | To fund an account with the Company for the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations. Such cash deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Company’s other assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue to the benefit of the subscribing reinsurer;

| 4. | To pay the subscribing reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any Letter of Credit is in excess of the actual amount required for subparagraph 1 or 3, or in the case of subparagraph 4, the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the subscribing reinsurer the excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of the Company or the subscribing reinsurer.

16

D. | The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company.

E. | At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations, for the sole purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, in the following manner:

| 1. | If the statement shows that the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations exceed the balance of credit as of the statement date, the subscribing reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference.

| 2. | If, however, the statement shows that the subscribing reinsurer’s obligations are less than the balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the subscribing reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.

ARTICLE XXV

NET RETAINED LINES

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 XXVI

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

This Contract is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any other party have any rights under this Contract except as expressly provided otherwise in the INSOLVENCY ARTICLE.

ARTICLE XXVII

SEVERABILITY

ARTICLE XXVIII

ARTICLE XXIX

ACCESS TO RECORDS

The Reinsurer or its designated representatives shall have access to the books and records of the Company on matters relating to this reinsurance at all reasonable times for the purpose of obtaining information concerning this Contract or the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the above, the Reinsurer shall not have any access to the books and records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due to the Company.

ARTICLE XXX

SUNSET AND COMMUTATION

A. | Ten years after the expiration of this Contract, the Company shall advise the Reinsurer of any Loss Occurrences attaching to this Contract which have not been finally settled and which may result in a claim by the Company under this Contract. No liability shall attach hereunder for any claim or claims not reported to the Reinsurer within this ten year period. If a loss arising out of a Loss Occurrence is reported during this period, all losses arising out of the same Loss Occurrence shall be deemed reported under this paragraph regardless of when notification of loss is provided.

B. | If both parties agree to commute the unsettled losses subject to the Contract, then the Reinsurer’s liability for all such unsettled losses shall then be commuted.

C. | It is understood that commutation of all such losses shall be made using tabular reserving methods. For each loss, the nominal ultimate value of the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss shall be established by projecting out future medical and indemnity payments and loss expenses by year based on appropriate trends and escalations applied to annual cost estimates. The Contract limit and retention (where applicable) shall then be applied to the

18

| nominal ultimate value of the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss to determine the nominal ultimate Contract loss. Mortality factors and discount factors shall then be applied by year to the nominal ultimate Contract loss. The discounted, mortality adjusted projected annual loss payments shall be summed to determine the present value (“commutation price”) of the ultimate Contract loss. The medical escalation, discount and mortality factors are described in paragraph C.

D. | The following factors shall be utilized in establishing the commutation price:

| 1. | Medical Escalation Rate

The medical escalation rate shall be a reasonable estimate of future medical inflation.

| 2. | Discount Rate

The discount rate shall be the annualized 10-year US Treasury Bill rate at the Valuation Date.

| 3. | Mortality Tables

Mortality factors shall be based on the most recent mortality table at the Valuation Date from the “Vital Statistics of the United States” as published by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Factors for extension beyond age 85 shall also be included.

| 4. | Impairment

Impairment factors shall be based on the individual claim characteristics.

Any other method of calculating the commutation price of one or more losses subject to this Contract may be used as mutually agreed between the Company and the Reinsurer.

E. | If the Company and the Reinsurer cannot agree on a commutation value, the effort can be abandoned. Alternatively, the Company and the Reinsurer may mutually agree to settle any difference using a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so chosen. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an actuary within 30 days, the other party may appoint two actuaries. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within 30 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall decline one and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. All the actuaries shall be regularly engaged in the valuation of Workers’ Compensation claims and shall be Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society or members of the American Academy of Actuaries. All of the actuaries shall be independent of either party to this Contract.

F. | The settlement agreed upon by a majority of the panel of actuaries shall be final and binding on both parties and set forth in a sworn written document expressing their professional opinion that said value is fair for the complete mutual release of all liabilities in respect of such reserves.

19

G. | The Reinsurer’s commutation payment shall be due within 7 days following the date the Company and the Reinsurer agree to the commutation price. Such payment by the Reinsurer shall constitute both a complete release of the Reinsurer of its liability for all losses, known or unknown, under this Contract, and a complete release of the Company of its liabilities and obligations, known or unknown, under this Contract.

H. | This Article shall survive the expiration of this Contract.

ARTICLE XXXI

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, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Company without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, 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 proportionate 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 agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator, or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or except 1) where this Contract specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company or 2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such Policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payee under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.

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

ARTICLE XXXII

ARBITRATION

A. | As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any irreconcilable dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this Contract, including the formation or validity thereof, whether arising before or after the expiry or termination of the Contract, shall be submitted for decision to a panel of 3 arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration will be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or such reputable courier service as is capable of returning proof of receipt of such notice by the recipient to the party demanding arbitration.

B. | The Company shall have the option to either litigate or arbitrate where:

| 1. | The Reinsurer makes any allegation of misrepresentation, non-disclosure, concealment, fraud or bad faith; or

| 2. | The Reinsurer experiences any of the circumstances set forth in subparagraphs 1 through 7 of paragraph A of the SPECIAL TERMINATION ARTICLE.

C. | One arbitrator shall be appointed by each party. If either party fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 days after being requested to do so by the other party, the latter, after 10 days notice by certified mail or reputable courier as provided above of its intention to do so, may appoint the second arbitrator.

D. | The two arbitrators shall, before instituting the hearing, appoint an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. If the 2 arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, the Company shall petition the American Arbitration Association to appoint the third arbitrator. If the American Arbitration Association fails to appoint the third arbitrator within 30 days of being requested to do so, either party may request a district court judge of the federal district court having jurisdiction over the geographical area in which the arbitration is to take place, or if the federal court declines to act, the state court having general jurisdiction in such area to select the third arbitrator from a list of 6 individuals (3 named by each arbitrator previously appointed). All arbitrators shall be disinterested active or former senior executives of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London.

E. | Within 30 days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules for hearings. The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees otherwise, arbitration shall take place in DeRidder, Louisiana but the venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the best interest of the arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive law, it shall consider the law of the State of Louisiana. The decision of any 2 arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.

F. | The panel shall make its decision considering the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as possible following the termination of the

21

| hearings. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

G. | If more than one subscribing reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common questions of law or fact and a possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such subscribing reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the subscribing reinsurers constituting the one party; provided, however, that nothing therein 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 under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

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

ARTICLE XXXIII

SERVICE OF SUIT

(This Article is applicable if the subscribing 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. This Article is not intended to conflict with or override the obligation of the parties to arbitrate their disputes in accordance with the ARBITRATION ARTICLE.)

A. | In the event of the failure of the subscribing reinsurer to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the subscribing reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the subscribing reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. The subscribing reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by subscribing reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against it upon this Contract, and shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.

B. | Service of process in such suit may be made upon the agent for the service of process (“agent”) named below, depending on the jurisdiction where the Company chooses to bring suit:

| 1. | If the suit is brought in the State of California, the law firm of Mendes and Mount, 445 South Figueroa Street, 38 th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 shall be

22

| authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit;

| 2. | If the suit is brought in the State of New York, the law firm of Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit;

| 3. | If the suit is brought in any state other than California or New York, either of the agents described in subparagraphs 1 or 2 above shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any such suit; or

| 4. | If the subscribing reinsurer has designated an agent in the subscribing reinsurer’s Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto, then that agent shall be authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the subscribing reinsurer in any suit. However, if an agent is designated in the subscribing reinsurer’s Interests and Liabilities Agreement and the agent is not located in California as respects a suit brought in California or New York as respects a suit brought in New York, in keeping with the laws of the states of California and New York which require that service be made on an agent located in the respective state if a suit is brought in that state, the applicable office of Mendes and Mount stipulated in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above must be used for service of suit unless the provisions of paragraph C of this Article apply.

C. | Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the subscribing reinsurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance, or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceedings instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract, and hereby designates the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.
