Upon receipt of payment under the Act by the Company and its affiliates, if any, the Company shall pay to or credit the Reinsurer under this Agreement with the Reinsurer’s share of such excess amount determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

Article XVIII - RESERVES AND TAXES

The Reinsurer shall maintain the required reserves as to the Reinsurer’s portion of unearned premium, if any, claims, losses, and Adjustment Expense.

In consideration of the terms under which this Agreement is issued, the Company shall 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.

All unresolved differences of opinion between the Company and the Reinsurer relating to this Agreement, including its formation and validity, shall be submitted to arbitration consisting of one arbitrator chosen by the Company, one arbitrator chosen by the Reinsurer, and a third arbitrator chosen by the first two arbitrators.

The party demanding arbitration shall communicate its demand for arbitration to the other party by registered or certified mail, identifying the nature of the dispute and the name of its arbitrator, and the other party shall then be bound to name its arbitrator within 30 days after receipt of the demand.

Failure or refusal of the other party to so name its arbitrator shall empower the demanding party to name the second arbitrator. If the first two arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third arbitrator after the second arbitrator is named, each arbitrator shall name three candidates, two of whom shall be declined by the other arbitrator, and the choice shall be made between the two remaining candidates by drawing lots. The arbitrators shall be disinterested and shall be active or retired officers of property or casualty insurance or reinsurance companies.

The arbitrators shall adopt their own rules and procedures and are relieved from judicial formalities. In addition to considering the rules of law and the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance business, the arbitrators shall make their award with a view to effecting the intent of this Agreement.

The decision of the majority of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties.

Each party shall bear the cost of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the third arbitrator and other costs of the arbitration. In the event both arbitrators are chosen by one party, the fees of all arbitrators shall be equally divided between the parties.

The arbitration shall be held at the times and places agreed upon by the arbitrators.

Article XXIII - INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY

When more than one company is named as a party to this Agreement, this Article shall apply severally to each such company.

In the event of a conflict between any provisions of this Article and the laws of the Company’s domiciliary state, this Article shall be automatically amended to conform fully to such laws.

In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance proceeds will be paid to the Company or the liquidator, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the claim allowed in the insolvency proceeding without diminution by reason of the inability of the Company to pay all or part of the claim, except where this Agreement, or other written agreement, specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of insolvency.

The Reinsurer shall be given written notice of the pendency of each claim against the Company on the policy(ies) reinsured hereunder within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. The Reinsurer shall have the right to investigate each such claim and to interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defenses which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

Article XXIV - SEVERABILITY

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

Article XXV - GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to choice of law rules.

Article XXVII - SANCTION LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION

The Reinsurer shall not be deemed to provide cover and the Reinsurer shall not be liable to pay any claim or provide any benefit under this Agreement to the extent that the provision of such cover, payment of such claim or provision of such benefit would expose the Reinsurer to any sanction, prohibition or restriction applicable to the Reinsurer.

ENDORSEMENT - WAR & TERRORISM

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or any provision of the policies reinsured hereunder, this Agreement does not apply to, and the Reinsurer shall have no liability under this Agreement for, any loss or damage directly or indirectly arising out of, caused by, or resulting from war or terrorism as described and qualified below. Such loss or damage is excluded regardless of (i) any other cause or event contributing to such loss or damage in any way or at any time, or (ii) whether such loss or damage is accidental or intentional.

 

1.

War, including undeclared or civil war; warlike action by a military force, including action in hindering or defending against an actual or expected attack, by any government, sovereign or other authority using military personnel or other agents; or insurrection, rebellion, revolution, usurped power or action taken by governmental authority in hindering or defending against any of these. War includes any activity that would be included as an “act of terrorism” in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below, but for the fact that such activity was perpetrated by an official, employee or agent of a foreign state acting for or on behalf of such state. However, war shall not include any activity certified as an act of terrorism in accordance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 as subsequently amended.

 

2.

Any “act of terrorism”, as described in paragraphs 3 and 4 below, but only with respect to loss or damage that is not excluded by paragraph 1 above.

 

3.

Any act by or authorized by a governmental authority for the purpose of preventing, terminating, countering or responding to any act or threat of terrorism or for the purpose of preventing or minimizing the consequences of any act or threat of terrorism.

 

4.

An “act of terrorism” means an activity, including the threat of an activity or any preparation for an activity, that:

 

  a.

Causes either:

 

  (1)

Damage to property; or

 

  (2)

Injury to persons; and

 

  b.

Appears to be intended to:

 

  (1)

Intimidate or coerce a civilian population; or

 

  (2)

Disrupt any segment of an economy; or

 

  (3)

Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or

 

  (4)

Affect the conduct of a government by destruction, assassination, kidnapping or hostage-taking; or

 

  (5)

Advance a political, religious or ideological cause.

For the purposes of this exclusion, an “act of terrorism” includes any act certified as an act of terrorism in accordance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 as subsequently amended.

Provided, however, that an “act of terrorism” for purposes of this exclusion shall not include any act or threat as described above perpetrated by an official, employee or agent of a foreign state acting for or on behalf of such state (and thus falling within paragraph 1 above) unless certified as an act of terrorism in accordance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 as subsequently amended.

 

GENERAL REINSURANCE CORPORATION

 


Portions of this exhibit (indicated by asterisks) have been omitted because the registrant has determined

that the information is not material and is of the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

 

This exclusion insofar as it relates to an “act of terrorism” will not apply unless the total of insured real property, building, contents, time element (including but not limited to business income and business interruption), automobile and inland marine losses sustained by all persons and entities affected by the “act of terrorism” (“insured losses”), (in the United States, its territories and possessions, and Puerto Rico), exceeds one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) as reasonably determined by the Reinsurer using available sources of insured property loss data including ISO’s Property Claim Services and other insurance industry, governmental, or other credible independent sources. Solely for the purpose of determining the total amount of “insured losses” arising from the “act of terrorism”, “insured losses” attributable to multiple “acts of terrorism” will be added together if each such “act of terrorism” was committed within the same 168 consecutive hour period, and all of the “acts of terrorism” reasonably appear to either have been carried out in a coordinated manner or have a related purpose or common leadership, without regard to the geographic distance between each such “act of terrorism”.

In the event this exclusion does not apply to any “act of terrorism” because of the operation of the above paragraph, this Agreement nevertheless does not apply to any element of loss or damage that is otherwise excluded by, or not within the coverage of, the Company’s policies or this Agreement.

If the Company reasonably disagrees with the Reinsurer’s determination of the total insured real property, building, contents, time element (including but not limited to business income and business interruption), automobile and inland marine losses sustained by all persons and entities affected by an “act of terrorism”, then the Company may request that such determination be referred to a nationally recognized accounting firm (to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Reinsurer) in accordance with this exclusion.

(2) Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Agreement does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Company, directly or indirectly and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage) to:

 

  (i)

Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or

 

  (ii)

Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with reactor installations, and “critical facilities” as such, or

 

  (iii)

  (iv)

(3) Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Agreement does not cover any loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Company, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear installation and which normally would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate:

 

  (a)

where the Company does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or

 

  (b)

where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after 1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b) shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.

(4) Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Agreement does not cover any loss or liability by radioactive contamination accruing to the Company, directly or indirectly, and whether as Insurer or Reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against.

(5) It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the nuclear exposure is not considered by the Company to be the primary hazard.

(6) The term “special nuclear material” shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law amendatory thereof.

(7) The Company to be sole judge of what constitutes:

 

  (a)

substantial quantities, and

(b) the extent of installation, plant or site.

  (a)

all policies issued by the Company on or before 31st December 1957 shall be free from the application of the other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply.

 

  (b)

with respect to any risk located in Canada policies issued by the Company on or before 31st December 1958 shall be free from the application of the other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply.
