            "Explosive  substance" is defined as any substance  manufactured for

            natural  or  artificial  fuel,  gas,  butane,   propane,   liquefied
            petroleum  gases or gasoline.  This exclusion shall not apply to any
            risk whose principal business operations are any of the following:

            a.     Retail gasoline service station, either full or self service,
                   or retail gasoline marina;

            b.     Convenience store with gasoline sales with its petroleum gas
                   and/or storage tanks located below ground.

       31.  Loss,  damage,  liability,  cost or  expense  of  whatsoever  nature
            directly caused by, contributed to by, resulting from or arising out
            of or in  connection  with  any  act of  terrorism  (as  defined  in
            paragraph  G of the  Definitions  Article)  and/or  threat  thereof,
            involving  the use of any  biological,  chemical  or nuclear  agent,
            material, device or weapon.

       32.  Business   reinsured   by  the   Minnesota   Workers'   Compensation
            Reinsurance Association, whether contractually assumed or imposed by
            law, including, but not limited to, direct or indirect loss, damage,
            liability,  cost or expense. However, this exclusion shall not apply
            to:

            a.     Losses paid within the Company's net retention; or

            b.     Losses paid in excess of the benefits allowed under Minnesota
                   Workers' Compensation law.

B.    In the event  the  Company  is  inadvertently  bound on any risk  which is
      excluded  under   subparagraph   9,   subparagraphs   14  through  27,  or
      subparagraph 30 of paragraph A above, the reinsurance  provided under this
      Contract  shall apply on such risk until  discovery  by the Company of the
      existence of such risk and for 30 days  thereafter or for a period of time
      specific to the applicable state cancellation requirements,  not to exceed
      120 days. This limitation  shall not apply as respects  Arizona.  Coverage
      shall cease after such time or at policy  anniversary as respects  Arizona
      policies,  unless the  Company has  received  from the  Reinsurer  written
      notice of its approval of such risk within 30 days.

C.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reinsurance falling within the scope of
      one or more of the exclusions  set forth above that is specially  accepted
      by the Reinsurer from the Company shall be covered under this Contract and
      subject to all of the terms and  conditions  hereof,  except as such terms
      are modified by the special acceptance. In the event a reinsurer becomes a
      party  to this  Contract  subsequent  to one or more  special  acceptances
      hereunder,  the new  reinsurer  shall  automatically  accept such  special
      acceptance(s) as being covered hereunder.

ARTICLE VI - RETENTION AND LIMIT

A.    As respects  each excess layer of  reinsurance  coverage  provided by this
      Contract,  the Company  shall retain and be liable for the first amount of
      ultimate net loss  (regardless of the  combination of classes of business,
      number of policies or number of interests  involved),  shown as "Company's
      Retention"  for that excess layer in Schedule A attached  hereto,  arising
      out of each  occurrence.  The Reinsurer shall then be liable,  as respects
      each excess layer,  for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds
      the  Company's  applicable  retention,  but the liability of the Reinsurer
      shall not exceed the amount,  shown as "Reinsurer's Per Occurrence  Limit"
      for that excess layer in Schedule A attached  hereto,  as respects any one
      occurrence.

B.    The Company's  ultimate net loss, for the purpose of this Contract,  shall
      be deemed to be a maximum of $10,000,000 any one life from the ground up.

C.    The  Company  deems that the maximum  Employers  Liability  policy  limits
      subject  hereto shall not exceed  $2,000,000.  Policy  limits in excess of
      $2,000,000  may be submitted by special  acceptance  to the  Reinsurer for
      coverage  hereunder,  subject  to the  provisions  of  paragraph  C of the
      Exclusions Article.


ARTICLE VII - REINSTATEMENT

A.    In the event all or any portion of the reinsurance  under any excess layer
      of  reinsurance  coverage  provided by this Contract is exhausted by loss,
      the amount so exhausted shall be reinstated  immediately from the time the
      occurrence  commences  hereon.  For each amount so reinstated  the Company
      agrees to pay additional premium equal to the product of the following:

        1.  The  percentage  of  the  occurrence  limit  for  the  excess  layer
            reinstated  (based  on the loss  paid by the  Reinsurer  under  that
            excess layer); times

        2.  The earned  reinsurance  premium for the excess layer reinstated for
            the term of this Contract (exclusive of reinstatement premium).

B.    Whenever the Company requests payment by the Reinsurer of any loss under
      any excess layer hereunder, the Company shall submit a statement to the
      Reinsurer of reinstatement premium due the Reinsurer for that excess
      layer. If the earned reinsurance premium for any excess layer for the term
      of this Contract has not been finally determined as of the date of any
      such statement, the calculation of reinstatement premium due for that
      excess layer shall be based on the annual deposit premium for that excess
      layer and shall be readjusted when the earned reinsurance premium for that
      excess layer for the term of this Contract has been finally determined.
      Any reinstatement premium shown to be due the Reinsurer for any excess
      layer as reflected by any such statement (less prior payments, if any, for
      that excess layer) shall be payable by the Company concurrently with
      payment by the Reinsurer of the requested loss for that excess layer. Any
      return reinstatement premium shown to be due the Company shall be remitted
      by the Reinsurer as promptly as possible after receipt and verification of
      the Company's statement.


Page 7


C.    Notwithstanding  anything  stated  herein,  the liability of the Reinsurer
      hereunder  shall  not  exceed  the  amount,   shown  as  "Reinsurer's  Per
      Occurrence  Limit" for that excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, as
      respects loss or losses  arising out of any one  occurrence,  nor shall it
      exceed the amount, shown as "Reinsurer's Term Limit" for that excess layer
      in Schedule A attached  hereto,  as respects loss or losses arising out of
      all occurrences during the term of this Contract.


ARTICLE VIII - DEFINITIONS

A.    "Ultimate  net  loss"  as  used  herein  is  defined  as the  sum or  sums
      (including loss in excess of policy limits, extra contractual  obligations
      and any loss adjustment expense,  as hereinafter  defined) paid or payable
      by the Company in  settlement of claims and in  satisfaction  of judgments
      rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all recoveries from
      subrogation,  all  recoveries,  and all  claims on  inuring  insurance  or
      reinsurance, whether collectible or not. Nothing herein shall be construed
      to mean that losses  under this  Contract  are not  recoverable  until the
      Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained.

B.    "Loss in excess of policy limits" and "extra  contractual  obligations" as
      used herein shall be defined as follows:

        1.  "Loss in excess of policy  limits"  shall  mean  90.0% of any amount
            paid or payable by the Company in excess of its policy  limits,  but
            otherwise within the terms of its policy, such loss in excess of the
            Company's  policy limits  having been  incurred  because of, but not
            limited  to,  failure  by the  Company  to settle  within the policy
            limits or by reason of the Company's alleged or actual negligence or
            bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the  preparation
            of the  defense or in the trial of an action  against its insured or
            reinsured  or  in  the  preparation  or  prosecution  of  an  appeal
            consequent upon such an action.

        2.  "Extra  contractual  obligations"  shall mean 90.0% of any punitive,
            exemplary,  compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by
            the Company, not covered by any other provision of this Contract and
            which arise from the  handling  of any claim on business  subject to
            this Contract,  such liabilities arising because of, but not limited
            to,  failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by
            reason of the Company's alleged or actual negligence or bad faith in
            rejecting  an  offer  of  settlement  or in the  preparation  of the
            defense  or in  the  trial  of an  action  against  its  insured  or
            reinsured  or  in  the  preparation  or  prosecution  of  an  appeal
            consequent  upon such an  action.  An extra  contractual  obligation
            shall be deemed, in all circumstances,  to have occurred on the same
            date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the policy.

      Notwithstanding  anything stated herein,  this Contract shall not apply to
      any loss in excess of policy  limits or any extra  contractual  obligation
      incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent  and/or criminal act
      by  any  officer  or  director  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.


Page 8


      If any  provision  of  this  paragraph  B shall  be  rendered  illegal  or
      unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such
      provision  shall be  considered  void in such  state,  but this  shall not
      affect the  validity  or  enforceability  of any other  provision  of this
      Contract  or  the   enforceability   of  such   provision   in  any  other
      jurisdiction.

C.    "Occurrence"  as used herein is defined as an accident or  occurrence or a
      series of accidents or occurrences  arising out of or caused by one event,
      whether involving one or more of the Company's policies, except that:

        1.  As respects  Workers'  Compensation  policies,  each occupational or
            industrial  disease  or  cumulative  injury  case  contracted  by an
            employee  of an  insured  shall be deemed  to have been  caused by a
            separate occurrence commencing on:

            a.     The date of disability for which  compensation  is payable if
                   the case is compensable under the Workers' Compensation Law;

            b.     The date disability due to the disease  actually began if the
                   case is not compensable under the Workers'  Compensation Law;
                   or

            c.     The date of  cessation of  employment  if claim is made after
                   employment has ceased.

        2.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of subparagraph 1 above, as respects
            losses  resulting  from  occupational  or  industrial   disease  and
            cumulative  injury 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,  all such losses shall be considered
            one  occurrence  and may be combined  with losses not  classified as
            occupational or industrial  disease or cumulative injury which arise
            out of the same event and the  combination  of such losses  shall be
            considered as one occurrence within the meaning hereof.

        3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall apply to
            occurrences involving natural disasters:

            a.     An  occurrence  shall be limited  to  damage,  injury or loss
                   arising out of a natural  disaster  during any continuous 168
                   hour period.

            b.     The  Company  may choose the date and time when such 168 hour
                   period commences and if the occurrence is of greater duration
                   than 168 hours,  the Company may divide such  occurrence into
                   two or more occurrences,  provided no two periods overlap and
                   provided no period  commences  earlier than the date and time
                   of the first loss to the Company in such occurrence.

            c.     "Natural  disaster"  shall mean loss  caused by the perils of
                   tornado, cyclone, windstorm,  hurricane and hail arising from
                   the  same  atmospheric  disturbance;   earthquake,  including
                   ensuing  fire,  landslide,   mudslide,   flood,  tidal  wave;
                   volcanic    eruptions;     flood;    tides;    tidal    wave;
                   landslide/mudslide; and meteors.

      that fulfills all of the following conditions:

        1.  It is not  traceable to a definite  compensable  accident  occurring
            during the employee's present or past employment; and

        2.  It has been  caused  by  exposure  to a disease  producing  agent or
            agents present in the workers' occupational environment; and

        3.  It has resulted in a disability or death.

        2.  It has  occurred  from,  and has been  aggravated  by, a  repetitive
            employment-related activity; and

        3.  It has resulted in a disability or death.

F.    "Loss adjustment expense" as used herein shall mean expenses assignable to
      the investigation,  appraisal, adjustment, settlement, litigation, defense
      and/or  appeal of specific  claims,  regardless  of how such  expenses are
      classified for statutory reporting purposes. Loss adjustment expense shall
      include, but not be limited to, interest on judgments, expenses of outside
      adjusters and claim-specific  declaratory judgment expenses or other legal
      expenses and costs  incurred in  connection  with  coverage  questions and
      legal actions connected thereto,  but shall not include office expenses or
      salaries of the Company's regular employees other than medical  management

      expense basis.

G.    "Act of terrorism" as used herein shall mean either:

        1.  Any act of any  person or persons  either  acting on behalf of or in
            connection with any  organization or group with activities  directed
            towards  overthrowing,  intimidating,  coercing or  influencing  any
            government  DE JURE or DE FACTO  or its  populace  or its  economic,
            political or social  systems,  by force,  violence,  weapons of mass
            destruction,   disruption  or  subversion   of   communication   and

      Notwithstanding  the above, in the event of an occurrence which arises out
      of an act of workplace  violence and is not consistent with the provisions
      of  subparagraphs  1 and 2 of this paragraph G, such loss shall be covered
      hereunder,  subject to the  provisions  of the Retention and Limit Article
      and all other  provisions  of this Contract and shall not be considered an
      act of  terrorism.  Further,  any  occurrence  which is not or  cannot  be

      recoveries under which shall inure to the benefit of this Contract.

B.    The Company shall be permitted to carry underlying quota share reinsurance
      and  underlying  excess  reinsurance,  recoveries  under which shall inure
      solely to the  benefit  of the  Company  and be  entirely  disregarded  in
      applying all of the provisions of this Contract.


ARTICLE X - FEDERAL TERRORISM RECOVERY

A.    Any  loss  reimbursement  the  Company  receives  from the  United  States
      Government  under the Terrorism  Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by
      the  Terrorism  Risk  Insurance   Extension  Act  of  2005  (together  the
      "Terrorism Act") as a result of occurrences  commencing during the term of
      this  Contract  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  this  Contract  in the
      proportion that the Company's  insured losses (as defined in the Terrorism
      Act) in that occurrence under policies  reinsured under this Contract bear
      to the Company's total insured losses in that occurrence.

B.    If a loss reimbursement received by the Company under the Terrorism Act is
      based on the Company's  insured losses in more than one occurrence and the
      United States  Government does not designate the amount  allocable to each
      occurrence, the reimbursement shall be prorated in the proportion that the
      Company's  insured losses in each  occurrence  bear to the Company's total
      insured  losses  arising  out of all  occurrences  to which  the  recovery
      applies.


ARTICLE XI - ANNUITIES AT COMPANY'S OPTION

A.    Whenever the Company is required,  or elects, to purchase an annuity or to
      negotiate  a  structured  settlement  in excess of the  retention  of this
      Contract,  either in  satisfaction  of a  judgment  or in an  out-of-court
      settlement  or  otherwise,  the  cost  of the  annuity  or the  structured
      settlement,  as the case may be,  shall be  deemed  part of the  Company's
      ultimate net loss,  provided such annuity or structured  settlement  terms
      grant the Company full and final release as respects the indemnity portion
      of the settlement.  Additionally,  it is the Company's intent to place all
      annuities  or  structured  settlements  with a carrier  whose A.M.  Best's
      rating is "A" or better.

B.    The terms "annuity" or "structured settlement" shall be understood to mean
      any insurance  policy,  lump sum payment,  agreement or device of whatever
      nature resulting in the payment of a lump sum by the Company in settlement
      of any or all future  liabilities which may attach to it as a result of an
      occurrence.

C.    In the event the Company  purchases an annuity which inures in whole or in
      part to the benefit of the Reinsurer,  it is understood that the liability


Page 11


      of the  Reinsurer  is not  released  thereby.  In the event the Company is
      required to provide  benefits  not  provided  by the annuity for  whatever
      reason, the Reinsurer shall pay its share of any loss.


ARTICLE XII - CLAIMS

A.    Whenever a claim or settlement by the Company appears likely,  in the sole
      judgment of the  Company,  to result in a claim under this  Contract,  the
      Company shall notify the Reinsurer.  Further, the Company shall notify the
      Reinsurer  whenever a claim involves a fatality,  amputation,  spinal cord
      damage,  brain  damage,   blindness  or  extensive  burns,  regardless  of
      liability, including all subsequent developments. The Reinsurer shall have
      the right to participate,  at its own expense, in the defense of any claim
      or suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance.

B.    All claim  settlements made by the Company,  provided such settlements are
      within the terms of this  Contract,  shall be binding upon the  Reinsurer,
      and the  Reinsurer  agrees to pay all  amounts  for which it may be liable
      upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid by the Company.


ARTICLE XIII - COMMUTATION

A.    Either the  Company  or the  Reinsurer  may  request  commutation  of that
      portion of any excess loss hereunder  represented by any outstanding claim
      or  claims  after  seven  years  from the date of an  occurrence.  If both
      parties  desire to  commute a claim or claims,  then  within 60 days after
      such  agreement,  the Company 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.  Commutation of loss will be calculated on the present value of
      the loss within the layer of coverage.

B.    If agreement,  as outlined in the paragraph above, cannot be reached,  the
      effort can be abandoned or, alternately, the Company 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.

C.    If the parties, as outlined in the paragraphs 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 60 days, the other party may appoint two actuaries. If the
      two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within 60
      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. None of the actuaries
      shall be under the control of either party to this Contract.

D.    Each  party  shall  submit its case to its  actuary  within 60 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


Page 12


      be equally divided between the two parties.  Said  commutation  shall take
      place in North Palm  Beach,  Florida,  unless some other place is mutually
      agreed upon by the Company and the Reinsurer.


ARTICLE XIV - SPECIAL COMMUTATION

A.    In the event a  Subscribing  Reinsurer  meets one or more of the following
      conditions,  the Company may require a commutation  of that portion of any
      excess loss  hereunder  represented  by any  outstanding  claim or claims,
      including any related loss adjustment expense:

        1.  The Subscribing  Reinsurer's A.M. Best's rating has been assigned or
            downgraded  below A-  (including  any  "Not  Rated"  rating)  and/or
            Standard & Poor's rating has been assigned or downgraded below BBB+;
            or

        2.  The  Subscribing  Reinsurer  has  ceased  assuming  new  or  renewal
            property and casualty treaty reinsurance business.

      "Outstanding claim or claims" shall be defined as known or unknown claims,
      including any billed yet unpaid claims. However, unless otherwise mutually
      agreed,  this paragraph A shall not apply unless the outstanding  claim or
      claims is for an amount not less than $5,000.

B.    If the Company  elects to require  commutation  as provided in paragraph A
      above,   the  Company  shall  submit  a  Statement  of  Valuation  of  the
      outstanding  claim or claims  as of the last day of the month  immediately
      preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation, as
      determined by the Company.  Such Statement of Valuation  shall include the
      elements considered  reasonable to establish the excess loss and shall set
      forth  or  attach  the  information  relied  upon by the  Company  and the
      methodology  employed  to  calculate  the  excess  loss.  The  Subscribing
      Reinsurer shall then pay the amount  requested  within 30 calendar days of
      receipt of such Statement of Valuation,  unless the Subscribing  Reinsurer
      needs  additional  information  from the  Company to assess the  Company's
      Statement of Valuation or contests such amount.

C.    If the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional information from the Company
      to assess the  Company's  Statement  of  Valuation  or contests the amount
      requested, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall so notify the Company within 15
      calendar  days of receipt of the  Company's  Statement of  Valuation.  The
      Company  shall  supply  any  reasonably   requested   information  to  the
      Subscribing   Reinsurer   within  15  calendar  days  of  receipt  of  the
      notification.  Within 30 calendar days of the date of the  notification or
      of the receipt of the  information,  whichever is later,  the  Subscribing
      Reinsurer shall provide the Company with its Statement of Valuation of the
      outstanding  claim or claims  as of the last day of the month  immediately
      preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation, as
      determined by the Subscribing Reinsurer. Such Statement of Valuation shall
      include the elements  considered  reasonable  to establish the excess loss
      and  shall  set  forth  or  attach  the  information  relied  upon  by the
      Subscribing Reinsurer and the methodology employed to calculate the excess
      loss.

D.    In the event the  Subscribing  Reinsurer's  Statement  of Valuation of the
      outstanding claim or claims is viewed as unacceptable to the Company,  the


Page 13


      Company may either abandon the commutation  effort,  or may seek to settle
      any difference by using an independent actuary agreed to by the parties.

E.    If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15
      calendar  days of the date of the  Subscribing  Reinsurer's  Statement  of
      Valuation,  then each party shall appoint an actuary as party  arbitrators
      for the limited and sole purpose of selecting an independent  actuary.  If
      the actuaries cannot agree on an acceptable  independent actuary within 15
      calendar  days of the date of the  Subscribing  Reinsurer's  Statement  of
      Valuation,  the Company shall supply the Subscribing Reinsurer with a list
      of at least three  proposed  independent  actuaries,  and the  Subscribing
      Reinsurer shall select the independent actuary from that list.

F.    Upon  selection of the  independent  actuary,  both parties  shall present
      their  respective  written  submissions to the  independent  actuary.  The
      independent  actuary  may, at his or her  discretion,  request  additional
      information.  The  independent  actuary  shall  issue his or her  decision
      within 45 calendar days after the written  submissions have been filed and
      any additional information has been provided.

G.    The decision of the  independent  actuary shall be final and binding.  The
      expense of the  independent  actuary shall be equally  divided between the
      two parties.  For the purposes of this  Article,  unless  mutually  agreed
      otherwise, an "independent actuary" shall be an actuary who satisfies each
      of the following criteria:

        1.  Is regularly engaged in the valuation of claims resulting from lines
            of business subject to this Contract; and

        2.  Is either a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society or of the
            American Academy of Actuaries; and

        3. Is disinterested and impartial regarding this commutation.

H.    Notwithstanding  paragraphs  A, B and C  above,  in  the  event  that  the
      Subscribing  Reinsurer no longer meets any of the conditions  specified in
      subparagraph 1 or 2 in paragraph A above, this commutation may continue on
      a mutually agreed basis.

I.    Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer of the amount requested in accordance
      with paragraph B, C or F above,  shall release the  Subscribing  Reinsurer
      from all  further  liability  for  outstanding  claim or claims,  known or
      unknown,  under this  Contract  and shall  release  the  Company  from all
      further liability for payments of salvage or subrogation amounts, known or
      unknown, to the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract.

J.    In the event of any conflict between this Article and any other article of
      this Contract, the terms of this Article shall control.

K.    This Article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Contract.


Page 14


ARTICLE XV - SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

The  Reinsurer   shall  be  credited  with   recoveries   from  salvage   (i.e.,
reimbursement  obtained or recovery  made by the Company,  less the actual cost,
excluding  salaries of officials  and  employees of the Company and sums paid to
attorneys as retainer,  of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery)
on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Recoveries
therefrom  shall always be used to reimburse the excess  carriers in the reverse
order of their priority  according to their  participation  before being used in
any way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss. The Company hereby agrees
to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation  relating to any loss, a part of
which loss was sustained by the  Reinsurer,  and to prosecute all claims arising
out of such rights.


ARTICLE XVI - PREMIUM

A.    As premium for each excess layer of reinsurance  coverage provided by this
      Contract,  the  Company  shall  pay  the  Reinsurer  the  greater  of  the
      following:

        1.  The amount,  shown as "Annual Minimum Premium" for that excess layer
            in Schedule A attached hereto (or a pro rata portion thereof if this
            Contract is terminated prior to January 1, 2008); or

        2.  The  percentage,  shown as "Premium  Rate" for that excess  layer in
            Schedule A attached hereto,  of the Company's net earned premium for
            the term of this Contract.

B.    The Company  shall pay the  Reinsurer an annual  deposit  premium for each
      excess  layer of the amount,  shown as "Annual  Deposit  Premium" for that
      excess layer in Schedule A attached hereto, in four equal  installments of
      the amount,  shown as "Quarterly Deposit Premium" for that excess layer in
      Schedule A attached hereto, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of
      2007.  However,  no deposit  premium  installments  shall be due after the
      effective date of termination.

C.    Within 60 days  following the  termination  or expiration of this Contract
      and within 60 days following the 12-month period  thereafter,  the Company
      shall  provide a report to the  Reinsurer  setting  forth the  premium due
      hereunder for each excess layer for the term of this Contract, computed in
      accordance with paragraph A, and any additional  premium due the Reinsurer
      for each such excess  layer  shall be  remitted  by the  Company  with its
      report.  If the premium so computed  for any excess layer is less than the
      previously  paid, but more than the minimum premium for that excess layer,
      the balance  shall be refunded by the  Reinsurer to the Company  within 30
      days of the report.

D.    "Net  earned  premium" as used  herein is defined as the  Company's  gross
      earned  premium  for the  classes of  business  subject  to this  Contract
      (exclusive  of premium  for  business  covered by the  Minnesota  Workers'
      Compensation   Reinsurance    Association),    adjusted   for   experience
      modification,   discounts,  credits,  surcharges,  expense  constants  and
      deductible  credits,  plus or minus the  Reinsurer's pro rata share of any
      premium   arising  from  audit   adjustments,   minus  premiums  paid  for
      facultative reinsurance which inures to the benefit of this Contract.

ARTICLE XVII - LATE PAYMENTS

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

B.    In the event any  premium,  loss or other  payment due either party is not
      received by the intermediary named in the Intermediary  Article (BRMA 23A)
      (hereinafter  referred to as the  "Intermediary") by the payment due date,
      the party to whom payment is due may, by  notifying  the  Intermediary  in
      writing,  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 as follows:

        1.  The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the
            last monthly calculation, whichever the lesser; times

        2.  1/365ths of the six-month United States Treasury Bill rate as quoted
            in THE WALL STREET  JOURNAL on the first  business  day of the month
            for which the calculation is made; times

        3.  The amount past due, including accrued interest.

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

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

        1.  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  by the  Intermediary  of the
            initial billing for each such payment.

        2.  Any claim or loss payment due the Company  hereunder shall be deemed
            due 30 days  after  the  proof of loss and  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 or
            amount overdue in accordance  with paragraph B above,  from the date
            the proof of loss and  demand for  payment  was  transmitted  to the
            Reinsurer.

        3.  As respects any payment,  adjustment  or return due either party not
            otherwise  provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, 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.

      For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be
      deemed paid upon receipt by the Intermediary.

D.    Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing
      Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating
      in the  defense of any claim or suit,  or  prohibiting  either  party from


Page 16


      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.

E.    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.


ARTICLE XVIII - OFFSET

Each party hereto has the right,  which may be exercised at any time,  to offset
any  amounts,  whether on account of premiums or losses or  otherwise,  due from
such  party to  another  party  under  this  Contract  or any other  reinsurance
contract heretofore or hereafter entered into between them, against any amounts,
whether on account of premiums or losses or otherwise  due from the latter party
to the former party.  The party  asserting the right of offset may exercise this
right,  whether as assuming or ceding  insurer or in both roles in the  relevant
agreement or agreements.


ARTICLE XIX - ACCESS TO RECORDS (BRMA 1D)

The  Reinsurer  or its  designated  representatives  shall  have  access  at any
reasonable  time to all records of the Company  which pertain in any way to this
reinsurance.


ARTICLE XX - LIABILITY OF THE REINSURER

A.    The liability of the  Reinsurer  shall follow that of the Company in every
      case and be  subject  in all  respects  to all the  general  and  specific
      stipulations, clauses, waivers and modifications of the Company's policies
      and any endorsements thereon. However, in no event shall this be construed
      in any way to provide  coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth
      in this Contract.

B.    Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligations or establish any
      rights  against the  Reinsurer  in favor of any third party or any persons
      not parties to this Contract.


ARTICLE XXI - NET RETAINED LINES (BRMA 32E)

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


Page 17


      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 XXII - ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

Except as  provided  in  paragraph D of the Term  Article,  inadvertent  delays,
errors or omissions  made in connection  with this  Contract 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 error or omission is rectified as soon as possible after discovery.


ARTICLE XXIII - CURRENCY (BRMA 12A)

A.    Whenever the word "Dollars" or the "$" sign appears in this Contract, they
      shall be  construed  to mean United  States  Dollars and all  transactions
      under this Contract shall be in United States Dollars.

B.    Amounts  paid or received by the  Company in any other  currency  shall be
      converted  to United  States  Dollars at the rate of  exchange at the date
      such transaction is entered on the books of the Company.


ARTICLE XXIV - TAXES (BRMA 50B)

In consideration  of the terms under which this Contract is issued,  the Company
will not claim a  deduction  in respect of the  premium  hereon  when making tax
returns,  other than income or profits tax returns, to any state or territory of
the United States of America or the District of Columbia.


ARTICLE XXV - FEDERAL EXCISE TAX

A.    The  Reinsurer  has agreed to allow for the  purpose of paying the Federal
      Excise Tax the  applicable  percentage of the premium  payable  hereon (as
      imposed  under  Section 4371 of the Internal  Revenue  Code) to the extent
      such premium is subject to the Federal Excise Tax.

B.    In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer
      will deduct the  applicable  percentage  from the return  premium  payable
      hereon and the  Company or its agent  should take steps to recover the tax
      from the United States Government.


Page 18


ARTICLE XXVI - RESERVES

(Applies only to a reinsurer which (1) does not qualify for full credit with any
insurance  regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company's reserves,
or (2) which is or becomes rated "B++" or lower or holds a "Not Rated" rating by
A.M. Best or is or becomes rated BBB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's,  unless the
Reinsurer  has an A.M.  Best's  rating of "A" or Standard & Poor's rating of "A"
and  group  policyholders'  surplus  equal  to or  above  $2,000,000,000  at the
inception of this Contract)

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 law to set up, it will
      forward to the  Reinsurer  a  statement  showing  the  proportion  of such
      reserves which is applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer hereby agrees
      to fund such  reserves  in respect of known  outstanding  losses that have
      been  reported to the  Reinsurer and  allocated  loss  adjustment  expense
      relating thereto, losses and allocated loss adjustment expense paid by the
      Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer, plus reserves for losses and
      allocated loss adjustment  expense incurred but not reported,  as shown in
      the  statement  prepared  by  the  Company  (hereinafter  referred  to  as
      "Reinsurer's   Obligations")  by  Regulation  114  trust  accounts,  funds
      withheld, cash advances or a Letter of Credit, or combination thereof. For
      purposes  of  this   Contract,   the  Lloyd's  United  States  Credit  for
      Reinsurance   Trust  Fund  shall  be  considered  an  acceptable   funding
      instrument.  The 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 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  meeting  the  NAIC
      Securities  Valuation  Office  credit  standards for issuers of Letters of
      Credit and containing  provisions  acceptable to the insurance  regulatory
      authorities  having  jurisdiction over the Company's reserves in an amount
      equal to the  Reinsurer's  proportion  of said  reserves.  Such  Letter of
      Credit  shall be issued for a period of not less than one year,  and shall
      contain an "evergreen" clause,  which  automatically  extends the term 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 Reinsurer and Company agree that the Letters of Credit provided by the
      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  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 Reinsurer's  Obligations under this Contract, if
            so requested by the Reinsurer;


Page 19


        3.  To fund an account with the Company for the 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
            Reinsurer;

        4.  To pay the 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  subparagraphs 1 or 3, or in the
      case of  subparagraph  4, the  actual  amount  determined  to be due,  the
      Company shall promptly return to the 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 Reinsurer.

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 quarterly  intervals  and on an  estimated  basis 45 days prior to each
      December 31, or more  frequently as agreed but never more  frequently than
      quarterly,   the  Company  shall  prepare  a  specific  statement  of  the
      Reinsurer's  Obligations,  for the sole  purpose of amending the Letter of
      Credit, in the following manner:

        1.  If the statement shows that the Reinsurer's  Obligations  exceed the
            balance of credit as of the statement  date,  the  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 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  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 XXVII - INSOLVENCY

A.    In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the reinsured  companies,
      this  reinsurance  shall be  payable  directly  to the  company  or to its
      liquidator,  receiver,  conservator or statutory successor 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


Page 20


      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 pro rata 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 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  understood  and agreed that, in the event of the insolvency
      of one or more of the  reinsured  companies,  the  reinsurance  under this
      Contract  shall be payable  directly by the Reinsurer to the company 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 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
      payees under such policies and in substitution  for the obligations of the
      company to such payees.


ARTICLE XXVIII - ARBITRATION

A.    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 Company, 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 Lloyd's London Underwriters.  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
      Umpire  shall  be  appointed  in  accordance  with the  procedures  of the
      American Arbitration Association.

B.    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.

C.    If more than one  reinsurer  is  involved  in the same  dispute,  all such
      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
      reinsurers constituting one party, provided,  however, that nothing herein


Page 21


      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.

D.    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.

E.    Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed
      upon by the parties to this Contract,  but notwithstanding the location of
      the arbitration,  all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the
      law of the state in which the Company has its principal office.


ARTICLE XXIX - SERVICE OF SUIT (BRMA 49C)

(Applicable  if the  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)

A.    It is  agreed  that in the  event the  Reinsurer  fails to pay any  amount
      claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company,
      will  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 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.

B.    Further,  pursuant to any statute of any state,  territory  or district of
      the United States which makes  provision  therefor,  the Reinsurer  hereby
      designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement,  or
      if no party is named therein, 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
      proceeding  instituted  by or on behalf of the Company or any  beneficiary
      hereunder arising out of this Contract.


ARTICLE XXX - AGENCY AGREEMENT

If more than one  reinsured  company is named as a party to this  Contract,  the
first named company shall be deemed the agent of the other  reinsured  companies
(subject to the provisions of the Insolvency Article) for purposes of sending or
receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for
purposes of remitting or receiving any monies due any party.


ARTICLE XXXI - GOVERNING LAW (BRMA 71B)

This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with the laws of
the State of Florida.
