“CITIZENS”), which was submitted to the OFFICE OF INSURANCE REGULATION (hereinafter “OFFICE”) for its review on May 18, 2007. After a complete review of the entire record and upon consideration thereof, and otherwise being
fully advised in the premises, the OFFICE hereby finds as follows:

parties herein. 
 2. CITIZENS was created by statute as a mechanism for for equitable apportionment or sharing among insurers of property
and casualty insurance covering residential property, for applicants who are in good faith entitled, but are unable, to procure insurance through the admitted voluntary market. 
 3. The Legislature of the State of Florida has enacted Section 627.3511, Florida Statutes, to encourage and provide a means for the depopulation of
CITIZENS. 

 4. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE is a Florida domiciled property and casualty insurance company authorized to
transact insurance in the State of Florida. 
 5. On or about May 18, 2007, HOMEOWNERS CHOICE submitted a proposal to remove selected
policies from CITIZENS. The plan provides for an assumption of up to twenty thousand (20,000) policies from CITIZENS. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE plans to assume the CITIZENS’ policies over a period of time, subject to the approval by the OFFICE.

 6. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE understands that the selected policies to be removed from CITIZENS on or about July 19, 2007, will not be
subject to any incentive or bonus plan pursuant to Section 627.3511, Florida Statutes, unless and until the OFFICE approves such a plan for use by CITIZENS during the 2007 calendar year. If the OFFICE approves a bonus plan for use by other
take-out companies or for other transactions during the 2007 policy year, the bonus may be paid to HOMEOWNERS CHOICE is accordance with that plan and agreements between HOMEOWNERS CHOICE and CITIZENS. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE shall enter into appropriate
agreements with CITIZENS to provide the following: 
 (a) HOMEOWNERS CHOICE, at its own expense, will give at least thirty
(30) days advance notice to affected policyholders, which notice will inform policyholders of the need to contact HOMEOWNERS CHOICE before the removal date if the policyholder desires to stay with CITIZENS. 
 (b) HOMEOWNERS CHOICE will accumulate any objections, and will facilitate the return of any policyholder who desires to stay in CITIZENS
if that policyholder expresses the desire to stay in CITIZENS within the thirty (30) day notice period prior to the removal of the policy, or within thirty (30) days after the date of the policy removal. Policyholders will not be required
to make additional payments, nor take any action other than to express the desire to remain with CITIZENS in writing, by e-mail, or by telephone on or before thirty (30) days following the date of their policy removal. 
  

 2 

 7. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE agrees that any rate charged
to policyholders within one (1) year of the actual date of removal of policies removed pursuant to this Consent Order shall remain at or below the approved rate for CITIZENS. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE agrees that it win make an appropriate filing to
reduce its rates to keep its rates below those offered by CITIZENS for the first (1st) year after removal of the policies if CITIZENS reduces
its rate during the same one (1) year period.

 9. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE shall limit its actual removal of policies from CITIZENS to the number and type of policies authorized by the OFFICE. The OFFICE
will base its review on HOMEOWNERS CHOICE’s reinsurance program, catastrophe modeling, and financial statement projections as well as the impact on policyholders. Such reinsurance program, catastrophe modeling, and financial statement profiles
shall be based upon HOMEOWNERS CHOICE’s current in-force book of residential property policies, HOMEOWNERS CHOICE’s projected voluntary market writings, and actual number of policies available in CITIZENS prior to the anticipated
assumption date identified by HOMEOWNERS CHOICE as satisfying its filed and approved underwriting guidelines. 
 10. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE has
submitted the proposed reinsurance documentation and financial projections for assumption of up to seven thousand, six hundred 
  

 3

subject to advance written approval by the OFFICE. 
 11. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE’s acquisition of adequate reinsurance and maintenance of
executed reinsurance agreements is material to the OFFICE’S review and analysis of HOMEOWNERS CHOICE’s proposal to remove selected policies from CITIZENS and to the OFFICE’S approval of said proposal. 
 12. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE expressly waives its rights to any hearing in this matter, the making of findings of fact and conclusions of law by the OFFICE, and
all other and further proceedings herein to which the parties may be entitled by law or by rules of the OFFICE. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE agrees not to appeal or otherwise contest this Consent Order in any forum now or in the future, available to it.

 13. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE represents all explanations and documents made or submitted to the OFFICE as part of its proposal to remove selected
policies from CITIZENS, including all attachments and supplements thereto, fully describe all transactions, agreements, and understandings relating to the removal of policies from CITIZENS by HOMEOWNERS CHOICE. However, all draft documents and
non-executed agreements relating to HOMEOWNERS CHOICE’s plan shall not be deemed approved by this Consent Order until such time as executed agreements or final documents are submitted and approved by the OFFICE. 
 14. The parties agree this Consent Order will be deemed executed when the agency head or his designee has signed a copy of this Consent Order bearing
signature of HOMEOWNERS CHOICE, or its authorized representative, notwithstanding the fact the copy 

  

 4 

 
was transmitted to the OFFICE electronically or via facsimile machine. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE agrees the signature of its representative as affixed to this

to provide satisfactory financial capacity to cover the company’s exposure to catastrophic hurricane loss. The plan shall identify the reinsurance coverage and surplus levels being utilized to maintain a satisfactory financial capacity with
regard to catastrophe exposure. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE shall also include within the plan specific actions intended to limit catastrophic exposures to the company’s financial capacity. Based upon the OFFICE’S review of said models and plans,

CHOICE shall nevertheless be required to obtain a new policy application from each affected policyholder no later than twenty-four (24) months from the effective date of any policy of insurance removed from CITIZENS. HOMEOWNERS CHOICE may not
initiate any retrospective increase in rate or premium or any retrospective decrease in coverage provided under the assumed CITIZENS policy (if applicable) as a result of the information obtained from or through the new policy applications;

 (i) For a period of three (3) years immediately following the date of entry of this Consent Order, HOMEOWNERS CHOICE
shall abide by the Transition Plan and proposal to remove selected policies from CITIZENS in all material respects. Further, HOMEOWNERS CHOICE shall abide by all terms and provisions of any agreement(s) entered into with CITIZENS; and;

non-compliance, have sixty (60) days to cure its material non-compliance. In the event HOMEOWNERS CHOICE fails to cure any such material non-compliance within the sixty (60) day period, HOMEOWNERS CHOICE expressly agrees the OFFICE may

 PLA Non-Bonus Assumption Agreement 
  
 EXHIBIT D 
 Timeline and Requirements for Assumption 
  

	•	 	 At any point in time, an Insurer may request, for purposes of depopulation and subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement, a data file of policies from
CITIZENS. All policies not currently pending cancellation, not set for non-renewal or tagged for another insurer as described below, will be included in the data file. 

  

	•	 	 Companies may not be allowed to Depopulate polices in consecutive assumptions. This is dependent upon the number of participants. This determination is based on
resources, and solely at the discretion of the Depopulation Manager. 

 At least 45 Days Before Initial Assumption 

  

	•	 	 The Insurer must provide a Certificate of Authority from the Office, and an Order or letter from the Office approving the assumption. 

 

	•	 	 The Assuming Carrier must return an executed Requirements and Deadline Letter. 

  

	•	 	 The Insurer must return an executed Requirements and Deadline Letter  

 At Least 40 Days Before Initial Assumption 
  

	•	 	 The Assuming Carrier’s policy selection must be submitted to Citizens. By submitting this policy selection file the assuming carrier is certifying that all
associated have either been appointed by the company or agreed to have their policies assumed by the company under the provisions of “Consumer Choice.” 

  

	•	 	 Citizens must receive the Assuming Carrier’s information (company letterhead with logo, signature, etc.) to begin formatting of assumption notices.

 At Least 35 Days Before Initial Assumption 
  

	•	 	 The Assuming Carrier must mail notice 35 days before the assumption date giving the consumer the option to choose not to be assumed. The Notice must be approved by
the O.I.R. and Citizens. It must be sent to each consumer the carrier intends to assume. The Insurer must return an executed Assumption Agreement to CITIZENS. 

  

	 	•	 	 It is the Assuming Carrier’s responsibility to collect the responses from the above notice, and retain these for documentation. All consumers who indicate they
do not want to be assumed need to be entered into an Access data base with their associated Citizens policy number. 

 At Least 6
Days Before Initial Assumption 
  

	 	•	 	 The Assuming Carrier must provide a data file (Access format) containing each consumer and associated policy number that has chosen to not be assumed. Citizens
eliminates the policies of consumers who do not wish to have their policies assumed from the company’s policy selection. 

 PLA Non-Bonus Assumption Agreement 
  

	 	•	 	 These deadlines may change depending upon the number of participating companies. The Depopulation manager will notify if modification is necessary.

 1. Approximately sixty (60) days prior to the end of
the 36-month period following the date that the Insurer last removed policies under the Non-Bonus Takeout Program, the Insurer will provide to CITIZENS a computer file (hereinafter referred to as the “Policy Computer File”) in ACCESS
format sorted by CITIZENS policy number, which contains the following information on each policy: 
  

	 	a.	Complete CITIZENS policy number; 

  

	 	b.	Year and month in which policy was removed from CITIZENS; 

  

	 	c.	Insurer’s policy number; 

  

	 	d.	Policy effective date of the Insurer’s initial policy; 

  

	 	e.	Policy expiration date of the Insurer’s Initial policy; 

  

	 	f.	County of property location; 

  

	 	g.	Property address; and 

  

	 	h.	Indicate if the policy is in-force, or canceled. 

  

	 	i.	For all cancelled policies, the effective date of the cancellation. 

 2.
CITIZENS will select a random sample of 400 policies, hereinafter referred to as the “Sample Policies”, from the Policy Computer File and provide a list of the selected policies to the Insurer. 
 3. The Insurer will select an Independent Auditor subject to the concurrence of Citizens, which concurrence shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Insurer will provide
its Independent Auditor with the list of the Sample Policies. The Independent Auditor, at the expense of the Insurer, will conduct agreed-upon procedures pursuant to this Agreement, and will perform the following: 
  

	 	a.	For in force Sample Policies: 

  

	 	1.	Verify that there were offers of coverage and policyholder payments; and 

  

	 	2.	Verify that the effective date, county and property address are correct; and 

  

	 	3.	Verify that the policy was in-force with no lapse in coverage through the end of the initial 36-month period. 

  

	 	4.	Identify and explain any exceptions. 

  

	 	b.	For Sample Policies no longer in force: 

  

	 	1.	Verify that there were offers of coverage and policyholder payments; and 

  

	 	2.	Verify that the effective date, county, and property address are correct; and 

  

	 	3.	Identify and explain any exceptions; and 

  

	 	4.	 For Sample Policies no longer in force due to voluntary cancellation by the insured 

 PLA Non-Bonus Assumption Agreement 
  

	 	 
(including those cancelled for non-payment of premium), review the policy file for documentation or other data entry, e.g., diary comments, letters from
insured, etc., regarding the cancellation and document the reason(s) for cancellation and the effective date of the cancellation. 

  

	 	5.	For Sample Policies no longer in force due to cancellation by the Insurer for fraud, i.e., material misrepresentation, review the policy file for supporting documentation for the
cancellation and document the reason(s) for cancellation and the effective date of the cancellation. 

  

	 	6.	Identify any Sample Policies that were cancelled or non-renewed by the Insurer to reduce the Insurer’s hurricane exposure or for any other reason other than in 4 and 5, above,
and provide the effective date of the cancellation and reason for cancellation. 

 4. The Independent Auditor will provide an agreed-upon
procedures report (hereinafter referred to as “Report”) to the Insurer and CITIZENS detailing its findings on each policy reviewed. The Report will list CITIZENS and Its auditor, Ernst & Young, as users. 
 5. CITIZENS will review and verify the Report of the Independent Auditor. Within 10 working days of receipt of the Report, CITIZENS will verify whether the Report has
been prepared in compliance with the agreed-upon procedures set forth in this Agreement. If the Report is not verified, CITIZENS will advise the Independent Auditor on how to correct any deficiencies noted during the verification process and may
require that additional policies be sampled in order to validate the findings in the Report 
 6. After verification of the Independent Auditor’s Report
by Citizens, either the Insurer or CITIZENS may elect, at its own expense, to expand the review sample to enhance the accuracy of the data to be used in extrapolating findings to the entire population. This election may only be made once by each
party to this Agreement. The party making such election must notify the other party of its intent within 14 days after receipt of notice of verification of the Independent Auditor’s Report prepared pursuant to Paragraphs 4 and 5, above.

 7. The Report shall be referred to the Office.
