herein as the “Insured”), and GUARANTEE INSURANCE
COMPANY , a South Carolina corporation (referred to herein as

WITNESSETH :
WHEREAS , the Insured is an affiliate or subsidiary of
Shareholder; and
WHEREAS , the Insured is insured for certain workers’
compensation risks by GIC; and
WHEREAS , GIC additionally issues separate insurance
policies to the Insured’s staffing accounts; and
WHEREAS , upon full and open discussion with GIC and such
other parties as it may have deemed appropriate, Shareholder has
chosen to participate in the reinsurance results of the
Insured’s business insured with GIC, as a result of which
Shareholder opted to establish and invest, pursuant to Cayman
Islands law, in Segregated Portfolio 110 (referred to herein as
“SP 110”) within CALEDONIAN REINSURANCE SPC , a
Cayman Islands corporation (referred to herein as
“Caledonian”), into which certain of the
Insured’s insured risks will be reinsured. Pursuant to
GIC’s reinsurance agreements with Caledonian and GIC’s
understanding with Shareholder and the Insured, SP110 will
participate in 90% of such reinsurance results, and GIC shall
participate in 10% of the reinsurance results, subject to certain
aggregate limits; and
WHEREAS , a requirement of said arrangement is that
Shareholder or the Insured provide and maintain, on account with

policies are in effect, (referred to herein as the
“Collateral Account”). The funds required to be
maintained in the Collateral Account are to be determined in
accordance with that certain initial Participation Agreement
entered into by and between Shareholder and SP110 on or about

letters of credit or other financial instruments as GIC shall
determine to be acceptable; and

more than the amount necessary to secure the Insured’s risks
paid
1
and
incurred during the time while the policies covered by this
Agreement are in effect (referred to herein as the
“Overage” as further defined below); and
WHEREAS , it is also possible that, at any time while the
policy is in effect, GIC may similarly determine that there are not
sufficient funds in the Collateral Account during the time while
the policies covered by this Agreement are in effect and therefore
not sufficient to satisfy its collateral needs (referred to herein
as the “Deficit” as further defined below); and
WHEREAS , in the event that GIC determines that there is an
Overage, the Insured may carry over the Overage to have it credited
and applied to the amount of collateral that GIC requires in the
Collateral Account in connection with subsequent insurance
coverages granted to the Insured;
