<div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"><b>6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS</b></div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon whether the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability are observable or unobservable in the market at the measurement date, with quoted market prices being the highest level (Level 1) and unobservable inputs being the lowest level (Level 3). A fair value measurement will fall within the level of the hierarchy based on the input that is significant to determining such measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: </div>

<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>U.S. Government and U.S. Government agencies: </b>Comprised primarily of bonds issued by the U.S. treasury, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association. The fair values of the Company's U.S. government securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the market for U.S. treasury securities is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are priced using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Non-U.S. Government and Government agencies: </b>Comprised of fixed income obligations of non-U.S. governmental entities. The fair values of these securities are based on prices obtained from international indices and are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>States, municipalities and political subdivisions: </b>Comprised of fixed income obligations of U.S. domiciled state and municipality entities.

<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Corporate debt: </b>Comprised of bonds issued by corporations that are diversified across a wide range of issuers and industries. The fair values of corporate bonds that are short-term are priced using spread above the London Interbank Offered Rate yield curve, and the fair value of corporate bonds that are long-term are priced using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. The spreads are sourced from broker-dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price corporate bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values of corporate bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Mortgage-backed: </b>Primarily comprised of pools of residential and commercial mortgages originated by both U.S. government agencies (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association) and non-U.S. government agency originators. The fair values of mortgage-backed securities originated by U.S. government agencies and non-U.S. government agencies are based on a pricing model that incorporates prepayment speeds and spreads to determine appropriate average life of mortgage-backed securities. The spreads are sourced from broker-dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price the mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of these securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy, unless the significant inputs used to price the mortgage-backed securities are broker-dealer quotes and the Company is not able to determine if those quotes are based on observable market inputs, in which case the fair value is included in the Level 3 hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Asset-backed: </b>Principally comprised of bonds backed by pools of automobile loan receivables, home equity loans, credit card receivables and collateralized loan obligations originated by a variety of financial institutions. The fair values of asset-backed securities are priced using prepayment speed and spread inputs that are sourced from the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price the asset-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of these securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy, unless the significant inputs used to price the asset-backed securities are broker-dealer quotes and the Company is not able to determine if those quotes are based on observable market inputs, in which case the fair value is included in the Level 3 hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Hedge funds: </b>Comprised of hedge funds invested in a range of diversified strategies. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the fair values of the hedge funds are based on the net asset value of the funds as reported by the fund manager, which is not considered an observable input, and as such, the fair values of those hedge funds are included in the Level 3 fair value hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Equity securities: </b>The fair value of the equity securities are prices from market exchanges and therefore included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. </div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> <b>Senior notes: </b>The fair value of the senior notes is based on trades as reported in Bloomberg, which was 109.5% of their principal amount, providing an effective yield of 5.63% as of June 30, 2010. The fair value of the senior notes is included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. </div>

<div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 10pt;" align="left"> The Company attempts to verify the significant inputs used by broker-dealers in determining the fair value of the securities priced by them. If the Company could not obtain sufficient information to determine if the broker-dealers were using significant observable inputs such securities have been transferred to Level 3 fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the prices obtained from the broker-dealers are the best estimate of fair value of the securities being priced as the broker-dealers are typically involved in the initial pricing of the security and the Company has compared the price per the broker-dealer to other pricing sources and noted no material differences. </div></div>

The Company recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.</div></div> </div>
