Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 10, 2009, Specialty Underwriters’ Alliance, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary SUA Insurance Company (the "Company"), and the Company's Partner Agent, Risk Transfer Programs, LLC ("RTP" formerly Risk Transfer Holdings, Inc.), entered into an Amended and Restated SUA Insurance Company Partner Agent Program Agreement, which amends and restates the Specialty Underwriters' Alliance, Inc. Partner Agent Program Agreement entered into by and between the Company and RTP on November 3, 2004. In amending and restating the agreement, the Company and RTP agreed to extend RTP's exclusivity by an additional five-year period for the programs and states in which it currently writes business. Except for the extension of the exclusivity period, all other material terms and conditions of the agreement remain the same.

In addition, in a press release dated June 11, 2009, the Company announced the extension of the exclusivity of the Partner Agent relationship with RTP. The press release also describes extensions of the exclusivity of the Partner Agent relationship with American Team Managers Insurance Services, Inc. ("ATM") and AEON Insurance Group, Inc. ("AEON") for additional five-year periods. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Such extensions with ATM and AEON were also described in Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2009 and May 20, 2009, respectively.

The information in the preceding paragraphs, as well as Exhibit 99.1 referenced therein, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
