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 Reinsured, 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 Underwriters at Lloyd’s. 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, the two Arbiters shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Umpire. If the American Arbitration Association fails to appoint the Umpire within 30 days after it has been requested to do so, either party may request a justice of a court of general jurisdiction of the state in which the arbitration is to be held to appoint the Umpire.

2. 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.

3. If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers shall, at the option of the Reinsured, constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Reinsured to each of the reinsurers constituting one

ARP-HCI-02-XOL-FLD-14   DOC: May 21, 2014 Page 16

party, provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the reinsurers participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

4. 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.

5. Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract. Notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of Florida.

ARTICLE 16

CASH CALL

In the event that at any time the Reinsured becomes obligated to make a payment or series of payments for losses which exceed the Aggregate Retention, the Reinsured shall present to the Reinsurer an itemized statement of the amounts payable hereunder. The Reinsurer shall be obligated (subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract) to make a payment to the Reinsured of the amount requested within 10 days of receipt of the statement from the Reinsured. Cash loss amounts specifically remitted by the Reinsurer as set forth herein shall be credited to the next quarterly account.

ARTICLE 17

COMMUTATION

1. The Reinsured may request commutation of the Reinsurer’s portion of any excess loss hereunder represented by any outstanding claim or claims at termination or anytime within 36 months thereafter. The Reinsured shall submit a statement of valuation of the outstanding claim or claims showing the elements considered reasonable to establish the Ultimate Net Loss and the Reinsurer shall pay the amount requested.

2. If agreement, as outlined in paragraph (1) above, cannot be reached, the effort can be abandoned or alternately the Reinsured and the Reinsurer may mutually appoint an actuary or appraiser to investigate, determine and capitalize such claim or claims. If both parties then agree, the Reinsurer shall pay its proportion of the amount so determined to be the capitalized value of such claim or claims.

ARP-HCI-02-XOL-FLD-14   DOC: May 21, 2014 Page 17

3. If the parties, as outlined in the paragraphs (1) and (2) above, fail to agree, they may abandon the effort or they may 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 Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society or of the American Academy of Actuaries. None of the actuaries shall be under the control of either party to this Contract.

4. Each party shall submit its case to its actuary within 30 days of the appointment of the third actuary. The decision in writing of any two actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on both parties. The expense of the actuaries and of the commutation shall be equally divided between the two parties. Said commutation shall take place in Tampa, Florida unless some other place is mutually agreed upon by the Reinsured and the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE 23

GOVERNING LAW

ARTICLE 24

INSOLVENCY

1. If more than one reinsured company is included within the definition of “Reinsured” hereunder, this Article shall apply individually to each such company.

2. In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the Reinsured’s companies, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Reinsured or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Reinsured or on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable statute, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Reinsured or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Reinsured 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 Reinsured shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Reinsured 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 Reinsured 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 Reinsured 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 Reinsured solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

ARP-HCI-02-XOL-FLD-14   DOC: May 21, 2014 Page 21

3. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Reinsured.

4. It is further understood and agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of one or more of the Reinsured’s companies, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Reinsured 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 or other party as more specifically limited by any statute or regulation applicable hereto, of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Reinsured or (2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such Policy obligations of the Reinsured as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Reinsured to such payees. However, the exceptions provided in (1) and (2) above shall apply only to the extent that applicable statutes or regulations specifically permit such exceptions.

ARTICLE 25

LATE PAYMENTS

1. The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.

2. In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due may require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to pay, an interest penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last business day of each month at a per annum rate of 5%.

It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus interest penalties have been received by the party to whom payment is due.

3. If the interest rate provided under this Article exceeds the maximum interest rate allowed by any applicable law or is held unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, such interest rate shall be modified to the highest rate permitted by the applicable law, and all remaining provisions of this Article and Contract shall remain in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

ARP-HCI-02-XOL-FLD-14   DOC: May 21, 2014 Page 22

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

a. 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 of the initial billing for each such payment.

b. Any claim or loss payment due the Reinsured hereunder shall be deemed due 30 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 30 days, interest will accrue on the payment amount overdue in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3) above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

c. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph, 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 following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.

5. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a 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 penalties due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest penalty 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.

6. Interest penalties 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the provisions set forth under paragraph (2) of the Exclusions Article, should any judicial, regulatory, or legislative entity having legal jurisdiction require that the Reinsured be liable for any amounts that are otherwise outside the terms of the Reinsured’s original Policies, the Reinsurer agrees that such amounts shall be subject always to the terms and conditions of this Contract.
