WHOLE ACCOUNT QUOTA SHARE REINSURANCE CONTRACT

 

(the “Contract”)

 

issued to

 

LEMONADE INSURANCE COMPANY
  New York, New York

 

and

 

LEMONADE INSURANCE N.V.
  Amsterdam, Netherlands

 

including any and/or all companies that are or may hereafter become affiliated therewith

 

(collectively, the “Company”)

 

by

 

THE SUBSCRIBING REINSURER(S) IDENTIFIED
  IN THE INTERESTS AND LIABILITIES AGREEMENT(S) ATTACHED TO AND FORMING PART OF THIS CONTRACT

 

(the “Reinsurer”)

 

A.                                    This Contract extends to cover all companies that are now or may hereafter become affiliated with the Company to the extent and under the same conditions and limitations as would be provided by this Contract if such affiliated companies were made a party under this Contract, provided that notice be given to the Reinsurer of any such companies that may hereafter become affiliated with the Company as soon as practicable, with full particulars as to how such affiliation is likely to affect this Contract. In the event of either party maintaining that such affiliation calls for alteration in existing terms, and an agreement not being arrived at, then the business of such affiliated company is covered only for a period of forty-five days after notice by either party that they do not wish the company so affiliated to be covered.

 

B.                                    Balances payable or recoverable by the Reinsurer or individually named reinsured company shall not serve to offset any balances payable or recoverable to or from any other individually named reinsured company party to this Contract. Reports and remittances made to the Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of this Contract are to be in sufficient detail to identify both the Reinsurer’s loss obligations due each individually named reinsured company and each individually named reinsured company’s premium remittance under the report.

 

C.                                    Any limits, retentions and premiums due hereunder may be treated as applying to each individually named reinsured company in accordance with the allocation agreement between those companies.

ARTICLE 1

 

BUSINESS COVERED

 

This Contract is to indemnify the Company in respect of the liability that may accrue to the Company as a result of loss or losses under all Policies in force at the inception of this Contract, or written or renewed by the Company during the term of this Contract and classified by the Company as personal property and liability insurance and pet insurance, subject to the terms and conditions herein contained.

 

ARTICLE 2

 

COVER

 

A.                                    The Company shall cede, and the Reinsurer shall accept as reinsurance, a quota share of all business reinsured hereunder. The Reinsurer shall pay to the Company the Reinsurer’s quota share of losses under the Policies, Loss Adjustment Expense, Extra Contractual Obligations, and Loss in Excess of Policy Limits covered under this Contract.

 

B.                                    Notwithstanding the above, the Reinsurer’s liability shall be subject to the following:

 

[***].

 

C.                                    If one Loss Occurrence involves losses under Policies allocated to this Contract and to a successor contract, the Reinsurer’s limit of liability this Contract and under the successor contract for the Loss Occurrence shall be reduced to the percentage thereof that the Company’s loss under Policies allocated to each bears to the total of the Company’s loss in respect of the same Loss Occurrence. The Company’s retention under this Contract and the successor contract shall be reduced in the same manner.

ARTICLE 4

 

TERM

 

A.                                    This Contract shall take effect at 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2020, and shall remain in effect until 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2023, in respect of losses occurring on Policies in force at the inception of this Contract (First Contract Year only), and losses occurring on Policies written or renewed during the term of this Contract (all Contract Years). “Standard Time” shall be as defined in the Company’s Policies.

 

B.                                    At expiration or termination of this Contract, the Reinsurer shall remain liable for all Policies covered by this Contract that are in force at expiration, until the termination,

 

2











 

expiration or renewal of such Policies, whichever occurs first, plus any extended reporting periods.

 

C.                                    However, at expiration or termination of this Contract, the Company shall have the option to require a return of the ceded unearned premium, net of ceding commission, as of the date of expiration, on business in force at that date, in which event the Reinsurer shall be released from liability for losses occurring, or claims made as applicable, after expiration, except for claims made under extended reporting periods attaching to Policies that expired during the term of this Contract. For purposes of this Contract, premium for an extended reporting period shall be considered fully earned on the last day of the final period of the Policy to which the extended reporting period applies.

 

D.                                    In the event this Contract expires or terminates on a run-off basis, the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder shall continue if the Company is required by statute or regulation to continue coverage, until the earliest date on which the Company may cancel the Policy.

 

ARTICLE 5

 

SPECIAL TERMINATION

 

A.                                    The Company may terminate a Subscribing Reinsurer’s percentage share in this Contract at any time by giving written notice to the Subscribing Reinsurer in the event of any of the following circumstances:

 

1.                                      The Subscribing Reinsurer ceases underwriting operations.

 

2.                                      A state insurance department or other legal authority orders the Subscribing Reinsurer to cease writing business, or the Subscribing Reinsurer is placed under regulatory supervision.

 

3.                                      The Subscribing Reinsurer has become insolvent or has been placed into liquidation or receivership (whether voluntary or involuntary), or there have been instituted against it proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of its assets or control of its operations.

 

4.                                      The Subscribing Reinsurer’s policyholders’ surplus (or the equivalent under the Subscribing Reinsurer’s accounting system) as reported in such financial statements of the Subscribing Reinsurer as designated by the Company, has been reduced by 20% of the amount thereof at any date during the prior 12-month period (including the period prior to the inception of this Contract).

 

5.                                      The Subscribing Reinsurer has merged with or has become acquired or controlled by any company, corporation, or individual(s) not controlling the Subscribing Reinsurer’s operations at the inception of this Contract.

6.                                      The Subscribing Reinsurer has retroceded its entire liability under this Contract without the Company’s prior written consent, except for retrocessions to members of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s holding company group.

 

7.                                      The Subscribing Reinsurer has been assigned an A.M. Best’s rating of less than “A-” and/or an S&P rating of less than “BBB+.” However, as respects Underwriting Members of Lloyd’s, London, a Lloyd’s Market Rating of less than “A-” by A.M. Best and/or less than “BBB+” by S&P shall apply.

 

B.                                    Termination shall be effected on a run-off or cut-off basis at the option of the Company as outlined in the Term Article. The reinsurance premium due the Subscribing Reinsurer hereunder (including any minimum reinsurance premium) shall be prorated based on the period of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation hereon, and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall immediately return any excess reinsurance premium received. Reinstatement premium, if any, shall be calculated based on the Subscribing Reinsurer’s reinsurance premium earned during the period of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation hereon.

 

C.                                    Additionally, in the event of any of the circumstances listed in paragraph A. of this Article, the Company shall have the option to commute the Subscribing Reinsurer’s liability for losses on Policies covered by this Contract. In the event the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on the commutation amount, they shall appoint an actuary and/or appraiser to assess such amount and shall share equally any expense of the actuary and/or appraiser. If the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer cannot agree on an actuary and/or appraiser, the Company and the Subscribing Reinsurer each shall nominate three individuals, of whom the other shall decline two, and the final appointment shall be made by drawing lots. Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer of the amount of liability ascertained shall constitute a complete and final release of both parties in respect of liability arising from the Subscribing Reinsurer’s participation under this Contract.

 

D.                                    The Company’s option to require commutation under paragraph C. above shall survive the termination or expiration of this Contract.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

TERRITORY

 

The territorial limits of this Contract shall be identical with those of the Company’s Policies.

 

ARTICLE 7

 

TRADE AND ECONOMIC SANCTIONS

 

Wherever potential coverage provided by this Contract would be in violation of any applicable economic or trade sanctions, any such coverage will conform to applicable law.

If the Company has paid the loss, payment shall be made by the Reinsurer immediately. If the Company intends to pay the loss by a certain date and has submitted a proof of loss or similar document, payment shall be due from the Reinsurer twenty-four (24) hours prior to that date, provided the Reinsurer has a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of said notice to dispatch the payment. Cash loss amounts specifically remitted by the Reinsurer as set forth herein shall be credited to the next quarterly account.

B.                                    “Gross Net Written Premium Income” means gross written premium of the Company for the classes of business reinsured hereunder, less written portion of premiums ceded by the Company for reinsurance that inures to the benefit of this Contract.

 

C.                                    “Policy” means any binder, policy, or contract of insurance or reinsurance issued, accepted or held covered provisionally or otherwise, by or on behalf of the Company.

 

D.                                    1.             “Loss Occurrence” means the sum of all individual losses directly occasioned by any one disaster, accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out of one event that occurs within one geographic location. However, the duration and extent of any one “Loss Occurrence” shall be limited to all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event except that the term “Loss Occurrence” shall be further defined as follows:

 

8











 

a.                                      As regards any “Named Storm,” all individual losses sustained by the Company arising out of and directly occasioned by such “Named Storm,” without regard to the limitations of duration and extent set forth above. “Named Storm” means any storm or storm system declared by the US National Hurricane Center, US Central Pacific Hurricane Center, US Weather Prediction Center, or their successor organizations, all being divisions of the US National Weather Service to be a tropical storm or hurricane, and any successors thereof. A storm or storm system that merges with a “Named Storm” shall be considered part of that “Named Storm,” once it has merged. A “Named Storm” shall be deemed to begin at the effective time and date of the first watch, warning or other official advisory applicable to such tropical storm, or hurricane, issued by the above referenced governmental meteorological agencies. A “Named Storm” shall be deemed to end 72 hours after the cancellation of the last watch, warning or other official advisory applicable to such tropical storm, hurricane or successor, issued by the above referenced governmental meteorological agencies irrespective of the duration of the timing or spacing between such watches, warnings or other official advisories. If two or more storms are assigned different names by the above-referenced governmental meteorological agencies, each of those storms shall constitute a separate event for purposes of this definition.

 

b.                                      As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, including ensuing collapse and water damage other than “Named Storm”, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 168 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. However, the event need not be limited to the geographical confines referenced above.

 

c.                                       As regards riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, all individual losses sustained by the Company occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 72 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an assured’s premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period.

 

d.                                      As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the geographical confines referred to above) and fire following directly occasioned by the earthquake, those earthquake losses and individual fire losses that commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the Company’s “Loss Occurrence.”

 

e.                                       As regards “freeze,” only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of glass and water damage (caused by the freezing and/or melting of ice, snow or sleet, or bursting frozen pipes and tanks, but not water

 

9











 

damage caused by flood or surface water) may be included in the Company’s “Loss Occurrence.”

 

f.                                        As regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires, irrespective of origin (except as provided in subparagraphs c and d above), which spread through trees, grassland or other vegetation, all individual losses sustained by the Company which occur during any period of 168 consecutive hours within a 150-mile radius of any fixed point selected by the Company may be included in the Company’s “Loss Occurrence.” Such fixed point must be the site of a loss covered hereunder. However, an individual loss subject to this subparagraph cannot be included in more than one “Loss Occurrence.”

 

2.                                      The Company may choose the date and time when any such period of consecutive hours commences provided that it is not earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss.

 

3.                                      Only one period of consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, except that, as respects those “Loss Occurrences” referred to in subparagraph D.1.c. above, if the disaster, accident or loss occasioned by the event is of greater duration than 72 consecutive hours, then the Company may divide that disaster, accident or loss into two or more “Loss Occurrences” provided no two periods overlap and no individual loss is included in more than one such period and provided that no period commences earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Company arising out of that disaster, accident or loss.

 

4.                                      Losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of the same event shall be considered as having arisen from one “Loss Occurrence.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated above shall not be exceeded as respects the applicable perils, and no single “Loss Occurrence” shall encompass a time period greater than 168 consecutive hours.

 

E.                                     “Contract Year” means each 12-month period from 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, to 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, during the term of this Contract. “Contract Year” is further defined as follows:

 

1.                                      First Contract Year: the period from 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2020, to 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2021.

 

2.                                      Second Contract Year: the period from 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2021, to 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2022.

 

3.                                      Third Contract Year: the period from 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2022, to 12:01 a.m., Standard Time, July 1, 2023.

 

If this Contract is terminated, however, the Final Contract Year shall be from the beginning of the then current Contract Year through the date of termination.

EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS/EXCESS OF POLICY LIMITS

 

A.                                   This Contract shall cover Extra Contractual Obligations, as provided in the Cover Article. “Extra Contractual Obligations” shall be defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract and that arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, the following: failure by the Company to settle within the Policy limit, or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

 

B.                                    This Contract shall cover Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, as provided in the Cover Article. “Loss in Excess of Policy Limits” shall be defined as Loss in excess of the Policy limit, having been incurred because of, but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the Policy limit or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

 

C.                                    An Extra Contractual Obligation and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered under the Company’s Policy, and shall constitute part of the original loss.

 

D.                                    For the purposes of the Loss in Excess of Policy Limits coverage hereunder, the word “Loss” shall mean any amounts for which the Company would have been contractually liable to pay had it not been for the limit of the original Policy.

 

E.                                     Loss Adjustment Expense in respect of Extra Contractual Obligations and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits shall be covered hereunder in the same manner as other Loss Adjustment Expense.

 

F.                                      However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to final legal adjudication of fraud of a member of the Board of Directors or a corporate officer 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.

 

G.                                    In no event shall coverage be provided to the extent not permitted under law.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

NET RETAINED LIABILITY

 

A.                                   This Contract applies only to that portion of any loss that the Company retains net for its own account (prior to deduction of any reinsurance that inures solely to the benefit of the Company).

 

11











 

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 that may have become due from such reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE 16

 

ORIGINAL CONDITIONS

 

All reinsurance under this Contract shall be subject to the same terms, conditions, waivers and interpretations, and to the same modifications and alterations as the respective Policies of the Company. However, in no event shall this be construed in any way to provide coverage outside the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

 

ARTICLE 17

 

NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

 

This Contract is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer, and in no instance shall any insured, claimant or other third party have any rights under this Contract except as may be expressly provided otherwise herein.

 

ARTICLE 18

 

LOSS SETTLEMENTS

 

A.                                   The Company alone and at its full discretion shall adjust, settle or compromise all claims and losses.

 

B.                                    As respects losses subject to this Contract, all loss settlements made by the Company, whether under strict Policy terms or by way of compromise, and any Extra Contractual Obligations and/or Loss in Excess of Policy Limits, shall be binding upon the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay or allow, as the case may be, its share of each such settlement in accordance with this Contract.

 

ARTICLE 19

 

SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

 

A.                                   Salvages and all recoveries (including amounts due from all reinsurances that inure to the benefit of this Contract, whether recovered or not), shall be first deducted from any loss to arrive at the amount of liability attaching hereunder.

 

B.                                    All salvages, recoveries or payments recovered or received subsequent to loss settlement hereunder shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to the aforesaid settlement, and all necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 20

 

CURRENCY

 

A.                                   Where the word “Dollars” and/or the sign “$” appear in this Contract, they shall mean United States Dollars, and all payments hereunder shall be in United States Dollars.

 

B.                                    For purposes of this Contract, where the Company receives premiums or pays losses in currencies other than United States Dollars, such premiums or losses shall be converted into United States Dollars at the actual rates of exchange at which these premiums or losses are entered in the Company’s books.

 

ARTICLE 21

 

UNAUTHORIZED REINSURANCE

 

A.                                   This Article applies only to the extent a Subscribing Reinsurer does not qualify for credit with any insurance regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves.

 

B.                                    The Company agrees, in respect of its Policies or bonds falling within the scope of this Contract, that when it files with its insurance regulatory authority, or sets up on its books liabilities as required by law, it shall forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such liabilities applicable to the Reinsurer. The “Reinsurer’s Obligations” shall be defined as follows:

 

1.                                      unearned premium (if applicable);

 

2.                                      known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto;

 

3.                                      losses and Loss Adjustment Expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer;

 

4.                                      losses incurred but not reported and Loss Adjustment Expense relating thereto;

 

5.                                      all other amounts for which the Company cannot take credit on its financial statements unless funding is provided by the Reinsurer.

 

C.                                    The Reinsurer’s Obligations shall be funded by funds withheld, cash advances, Trust Agreement or a Letter of Credit (LOC). 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.

 

D.                                    When funding by Trust Agreement, the Reinsurer shall ensure that the Trust Agreement complies with the provisions of the “Trust Agreement Requirements Clause” attached hereto. When funding by an LOC, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional LOC issued by a bank and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having

 

13











 

jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the Reinsurer’s Obligations. Such LOC shall be issued for a period of not less than one year, and shall be automatically extended for one year from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 30 days (or such other time period as may be 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 LOC extended for any additional period.

 

E.                                     The Reinsurer and the Company agree that any funding 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 that has not been otherwise paid;

 

2.                                      to make refund of any sum that is in excess of the actual amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement);

 

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. Any taxes payable on accrued interest shall be paid out of the assets in the account that are in excess of the Reinsurer’s Obligations (or in excess of 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement). If the assets are inadequate to pay taxes, any taxes due shall be paid or reimbursed by the Reinsurer;

 

4.                                      to pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this Contract.

 

F.                                      If the amount drawn by the Company is in excess of the actual amount required for paragraphs E(1) or E(3) above, or in the case of paragraph E(4) above, 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.

 

G.                                    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.

 

H.                                   At annual intervals, or more frequently at the discretion of the Company, but never more frequently than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the Reinsurer’s

 

14











 

Obligations for the sole purpose of amending the LOC or other method of funding, in the following manner:

 

1.                                      If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of the LOC as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of the statement, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the LOC increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference. Should another method of funding be used, the Reinsurer shall, within the time period outlined above, increase such funding by the amount of such difference.

 

2.                                      If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the balance of the LOC (or that 102% of the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the trust account balance if funding is provided by a Trust Agreement), 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 LOC reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit. Should another method of funding be used, the Company shall, within the time period outlined above, decrease such funding by the amount of such excess.

 

ARTICLE 22

 

TAXES

 

A.                                   In consideration of the terms under which this Contract is issued, the Company undertakes not to claim any deduction of the premium hereon when making Canadian tax returns or when making tax returns, other than Income or Profits Tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or to the District of Columbia.

 

B.                                    1.             Each Subscribing 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 the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to Federal Excise Tax.

 

2.                                      In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage of the premium from the amount of the return, and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the Tax from the U.S. Government.

 

ARTICLE 23

 

ACCESS TO RECORDS

 

A.                                   The Reinsurer or its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to visit the offices of the Company to inspect, examine, audit, and verify any of the policy, accounting or claim files (“Records”) relating to business reinsured under this Contract during regular business hours after giving five working days’ prior notice. This right shall be exercisable during the term of this Contract or after the expiration of this Contract. Notwithstanding

 

15











 

the above, the Reinsurer shall not have any right of access to the Records of the Company if it is not current in all undisputed payments due the Company.

 

B.                                    Notwithstanding the above, the Company reserves the right to withhold from the Reinsurer any Privileged Documents. However, the Company shall permit and not object to the Reinsurer’s access to Privileged Documents in connection with the underlying claim reinsured hereunder following final settlement or final adjudication of the case or cases involving such claim, with prejudice against all claimants and all parties to such adjudications; the Company may defer release of such Privileged Documents if there are subrogation, contribution, or other third party actions with respect to that claim or case, and the Company’s defense might be jeopardized by release of such Privileged Documents. In the event that the Company seeks to defer release of such Privileged Documents, it shall, in consultation with the Reinsurer, take other steps as reasonably necessary to provide the Reinsurer with the information it reasonably requires to indemnify the Company without causing a loss of such privileges or protections. The Reinsurer shall not have access to Privileged Documents relating to any dispute between the Company and the Reinsurer.

 

C.                                    For purposes of this Article:

 

1.                                      “Privileged Documents” means any documents that are Attorney-Client Privilege Documents and/or Work Product Privilege Documents.

 

2.                                      “Attorney-Client Privilege Documents” means communications of a confidential nature between (a) the Company, or anyone retained by or at the direction of the Company, or its in-house or outside legal counsel, or anyone in the control of such legal counsel, and (b) any in-house or outside legal counsel, if such communications relate to legal advice being sought by the Company and/or contain legal advice being provided to the Company.

 

3.                                      “Work Product Privilege Documents” means communications, written materials and tangible things prepared by or for in-house or outside counsel, or prepared by or for the Company, in anticipation of or in connection with litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution proceedings.

 

ARTICLE 24

 

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

A.                                   The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges that the documents, information and data provided to it by the Company, whether directly or through an authorized agent, in connection with the placement and execution of this Contract (“Confidential Information”) are proprietary and confidential to the Company. Confidential Information shall not include documents, information or data that the Reinsurer can show:

 

1.                                      are publicly known or have become publicly known through no unauthorized act of the Reinsurer;

INDEMNIFICATION AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

 

A.                                   The Reinsurer is reinsuring, subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, the obligations of the Company under any Policy. The Company shall be the sole judge as to:

 

1.                                      what shall constitute a claim or loss covered under any Policy;

 

2.                                      the Company’s liability thereunder;

C.                                    Any inadvertent error, omission or delay in complying with the terms and conditions of this Contract shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such error, omission or delay had not been made, provided such error, omission or delay is rectified immediately upon discovery.

 

ARTICLE 26

 

INSOLVENCY

 

A.                                    If more than one reinsured company is referenced within the definition of “Company” in the Preamble to this Contract, this Article shall apply severally to each such company. Further, this Article and the laws of the domiciliary location shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any company covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the laws of the domiciliary location of any company covered hereunder, that domiciliary location’s laws shall prevail.

 

B.                                    In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance (or the portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, if required by applicable law) shall be payable directly to the Company, or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, either: (1) on the basis of the liability of the Company, or (2) on the basis of claims filed and allowed in the liquidation proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable statute, 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 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 that may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

 

C.                                    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 reinsurance Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

 

D.                                    As to all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Contract, the reinsurance shall be payable as set forth above by the Reinsurer to the

 

18











 

Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, (except as provided by Section 4118(a)(1)(A) of the New York Insurance Law, provided the conditions of 1114(c) of such law have been met, if New York law applies) or except (1) where the Contract specifically provides another payee 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. Then, and in that event only, the Company, with the prior approval of the certificate of assumption on New York risks by the Superintendent of Financial Services of the State of New York, or with the prior approval of such other regulatory authority as may be applicable, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurer shall pay any loss directly to payees under such Policy.

 

ARTICLE 27

 

ARBITRATION

 

A.                                    Any dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this Contract, including the formation or validity thereof, shall be submitted for decision to a panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration shall be in writing and sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

 

B.                                    One arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two arbitrators shall then choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall preside at the hearing. If either party fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 days after being requested to do so by the other party, the latter, after 10 days’ prior notice by certified or registered mail of its intention to do so, may appoint the second arbitrator.

 

C.                                    If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within 60 days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the procedures for selecting the third arbitrator in force on the date the arbitration is demanded, established by the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society — U.S. (ARIAS). The members of the arbitration panel will be impartial, disinterested, and not currently representing any party participating in the arbitration, and will be current or former senior officers of insurance or reinsurance concerns, experienced in the line(s) of business that are the subject of this Contract. If a member of the panel dies, becomes disabled or is otherwise unwilling or unable to serve, a substitute shall be selected in the same manner as the departing member was chosen and the arbitration shall continue.

 

D.                                    Within 30 days after all arbitrators have been appointed, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules of hearings.

 

E.                                     The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, the arbitrators may at their discretion, consider underwriting and placement information provided by the Company to the Reinsurer, as well as any correspondence exchanged by the parties that is related to this Contract. The arbitration shall take place in New York, or

 

19











 

at such other place as the parties shall agree. The decision of any two arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.

 

F.                                      The panel shall interpret this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than as merely a legal obligation and shall make its decision considering the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as possible after the hearings. Judgment upon an award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

G.                                    Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator. The remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the panel. The panel may, at its discretion, award such further costs and expenses as it considers appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law.

 

ARTICLE 28

B.                                    This Article shall not be read to conflict with or override the obligations of the parties to arbitrate their disputes as provided for in the Arbitration Article. This Article is intended as an aid to compelling arbitration or enforcing such arbitration or arbitral award, not as an alternative to the Arbitration Article for resolving disputes arising out of this Contract.

 

C.                                    In the event of the failure of the Reinsurer to perform its obligations hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall 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. The Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is selected, whether such court is the one originally chosen by the Company and accepted by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, shall comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction and, in any suit instituted against the Reinsurer upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.

 

D.                                    Service of process in such suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829, or another party specifically designated in the applicable Interests and Liabilities Agreement attached hereto.

E.                                     Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States that makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates 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, and hereby designates the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

 

ARTICLE 29

 

SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision of this Contract shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any location, such provision shall be considered void in such location, 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.

 

ARTICLE 30

 

GOVERNING LAW

 

This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of the State of New York, exclusive of conflict of law rules. However, with respect to credit for reinsurance, the rules of all applicable states shall apply.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

This Contract, together with the Non Disclosure Agreement with the Reinsurer, sets forth all of the duties and obligations between the Company and the Reinsurer and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written agreements with respect to matters referred to in this Contract. This Contract may not be modified or changed except by an amendment to this Contract in writing signed by both parties. However, this Article shall not be construed as limiting the admissibility of evidence regarding the formation, interpretation, purpose or intent of this Contract.

 

ARTICLE 32

 

NON-WAIVER

 

The failure of the Company or the Reinsurer to insist on compliance with this Contract or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any rights contained in this Contract nor prevent either party from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent either party from exercising such remedy in the future.
