CALEDONIAN REINSURANCE SPC

This Renewal Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of this 16th day of August, 2005

Between:

Westwind Holding Company, LLC (“Shareholder”), whose registered office is 7560 Commerce Court, Sarasota, FL 33423 and Segregated Portfolio 110 (the “Segregated Portfolio”), a segregated portfolio of Caledonian Reinsurance SPC (the “Company”) whose registered office is at Caledonian House, PO Box 1043GT, 69 Dr Roy’s Drive, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

This Agreement sets out the terms which have been agreed in respect of the participation of the Shareholder in the Segregated Portfolio:

1.		Description of the business to be conducted by the Segregated Portfolio.

		The Segregated Portfolio has been established to provide workers compensation reinsurance for Shareholder’s operations in the United States (the “Reinsurance”). Primary policy issuance is with Guarantee Insurance Company, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantee”), and the Segregated Portfolio reinsures the Guarantee risk up to certain limits.

2.		The participation

2.1		Shareholder is the owner of one Segregated Portfolio Share (the “SP Share) and wishes to purchase an additional SP Share in the capital of the Company on and subject to the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company for a subscription price of US$1.00, plus up to 20% of the Gross Annual Premium written on policies written by Guarantee for Shareholder, Shareholder’s affiliates and clients of Shareholder or Shareholder’s affiliates, provided however, that such additional 20% shall be payable only in the event the Insured and/or Shareholder fail to meet their collateral funding obligations as set forth in that certain Collateral Carry Forward Agreement executed on even date herewith between the Insured, Shareholder and Guarantee. Further subscriptions of SP Shares in the Company designated Segregated Portfolio Shares may be made on such terms as the parties may subsequently agree.

2.2		Shareholder will participate in the results of the Reinsurance in accordance with this Agreement.

2.3		The directors of the Company may declare dividends on the SP Share solely out of the profits made by the Segregated Portfolio arising from the Reinsurance, which dividends will be

		calculated in accordance with the Dividends provision of Part 1 of the Schedule attached to and hereby made part of this Agreement by this reference. The holder of the SP Share will not be entitled to share in any profits of any other segregated portfolio of the Company or any other profits of the Company.

2.4		No shareholder of any other segregated portfolio of the Company will be entitled to participate in any profits of the Segregated Portfolio by virtue of holding such shares.

2.5		The Company may redeem the SP Share in accordance with the Redemption provisions of Part 2 of the above-referenced Schedule to this Agreement.

2.6		On the first to occur of a winding up of the Segregated Portfolio or the Company, the assets of the Segregated Portfolio remaining will be distributed solely to the holder of the SP Share in accordance with the Redemption provisions of Part 2 of the above-referenced Schedule to this Agreement. The holder of the SP Share will not be entitled to share in any other assets of the Company available for distribution or any assets of any other segregated portfolio of the Company.

2.7		The SP Share has not been registered in the United States and shall not be sold, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise encumbered and will bear the following legend:

The share represented by this certificate has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the United States (the “U.S Securities Act”) or any securities laws of any state of the United States. It may not be offered or transferred by sale, assignment, pledge or otherwise unless (i) a registration statement for the share under the Securities Act is in effect or (ii) the Company has received such agreements and certificates as the Company may require and an opinion of counsel, which opinion is satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not required under the Securities Act or State securities laws. Transfer of this share is further restricted as provided in the Participation Agreement between the Company and the Shareholder. In addition to the transfer restrictions above, the securities represented by this certificate may not be sold or otherwise transferred if such transfer would result in the Company being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or result in a violation of any applicable securities law or other applicable law or regulation. Specifically, the share may not be transferred without the consent of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and in compliance with the requirements of the Insurance Law of the Cayman Islands.

2.8

The Company, on behalf of the Segregated Portfolio and subject to the overall supervision and discretion of the board of directors of the Company, agrees to make such investments and divestments of assets of the Segregated Portfolio as Shareholder may reasonably instruct. In acting on the instructions of Shareholder, neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers or

		employees shall be liable for any loss, claim cost or expense suffered by the Segregated Portfolio and each of the Company and its directors, officers and employees shall be indemnified and held harmless by Shareholder and the Segregated Portfolio for any loss, claim, cost or expense incurred by them in so acting, unless due to fraud, gross negligence, dishonesty or willful malfeasance of such directors, officers or employees. The Company shall be entitled to rely on a Shareholder’s instructions, approval and authorisation without further enquiry if it shall have been given in writing or by facsimile (or by any person whom the Company reasonably believes to be an authorized officer of Shareholder.).

3.		Limited recourse

		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that no liability shall arise under this Agreement for any reason against Caledonian Insurance Services Limited, the Company, any portfolio of the Company (other than the Segregated Portfolio) and Caledonian Bank & Trust Limited and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and their attorneys and agents (the “Limited Liability Parties”), unless due to fraud, gross negligence, dishonesty or willful malfeasance of such entities or parsons.

		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that all liability under this Agreement shall be limited to the net proceeds of the realisation of all the assets of the Segregated Portfolio only, in which case liability shall be limited only to proved damages, unless due to fraud, gross negligence, dishonesty or willful malfeasance on the part of any or all of the Limited Liability Parties. If such amount is insufficient to pay all the obligations hereunder in full for any reason, neither the Segregated Portfolio or any of the Limited Liability Parties shall have any obligation to make up the insufficiency, and following exhaustion of such amount, any liability to pay such insufficiency shall thereafter be extinguished, unless due to fraud, gross negligence, dishonesty or willful malfeasance of any or all of the Limited Liability Parties.

		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Shareholder covenants, acknowledges and agrees that it shall not take or seek to take any recourse (including, but not limited to, action before any court or governmental agency), directly or indirectly, with respect to the actions or inactions of the Segregated Portfolio or the Company or any obligations of the Segregated Portfolio or the Company or under this Agreement against:

		Shareholder further covenants, acknowledges and agrees that it shall not take any corporate action or other steps or legal proceedings for the winding-up, dissolution or re-organisation or for

		the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar officer of the Company or the Segregated Portfolio or of any or all of the Company or the Segregated Portfolio revenues and assets or analogous proceedings in any jurisdiction domestic or foreign, unless due to fraud, gross negligence, dishonesty or willful malfeasance.

SCHEDULE
DIVIDEND & REDEMPTION POLICY

Part 1
Dividends

Dividends can be declared at any time, at the request of the shareholder, out of the available profits of the Segregated Portfolio, subject to any constraints imposed upon the Segregated Portfolio by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”). Profits are defined as the excess of insurance and investment income over the insurance losses and administrative expenses of the Segregated Portfolio, as calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

It is anticipated that no dividends will be declared during the first eighteen (18) months of operation of the Segregated Portfolio, and this will be incorporated into the business plan for the Segregated Portfolio as presented to CIMA.

Part 2
Redemption

The consideration for the redemption of the SP Share shall be the distribution to the holder of the SP Share of the assets of the Segregated Portfolio remaining available for distribution at the date of redemption divided by the number of SP Shares being redeemed. In the event that there is more than one holder of SP Shares, the assets will be distributed pro rata to the holders of the SP Shares.
