EXHIBIT 10.1.1

EMPLOYERS MUTUAL COMPANIES

REINSURANCE POOLING AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

EMPLOYERS MUTUAL CASUALTY COMPANY

AND

CERTAIN OF ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES

REWRITTEN EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1987

REINSURANCE POOLING AGREEMENT

This Agreement made by and between Employers Mutual Casualty Company and certain of its affiliated or subsidiary companies such as are signatory hereto by means of exhibits setting forth the interests and liabilities of the parties, attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement.  Employers Mutual Casualty Company is hereinafter referred to as “EMC”, and the other companies signatory hereto are hereinafter referred to as the “Affiliated Companies” or as the "Affiliated Company", as the context requires.

EMC and each Affiliated Company signatory to the Pooling Agreement agree to honor the terms set forth herein as if this Agreement were solely between EMC and each such Affiliated Company.  Balances payable to or recoverable from EMC and any such Affiliated Company shall not serve to offset any balances payable to or recoverable from any other Affiliated Company signatory to this Agreement.  Reports and remittances between EMC and each Affiliated Company shall be in sufficient detail to identify the individual premium and loss obligation of each party to the other.

ARTICLE I

The Companies are engaged in the insurance business and maintain a mutual business relationship having certain incidents of common management, and desire to bring about for each other added economies of operation, uniform underwriting results, diversification as respects the classes of insurance business written, and maximization of capacity.  To accomplish the aforesaid, the Companies do by means of this Agreement, pool all of their insurance business then in force as of 12:01 A.M. of the date signatory hereto, and thereafter to share in the fortunes of their pooled insurance business.

ARTICLE II

EMC hereby reinsures and the Affiliated Company hereby cedes and transfers to EMC all liabilities incurred under or in connections with all contracts and policies of insurance issued by the Affiliated Company outstanding and in force as of 12:01 A.M. of the date signatory hereto, or thereafter issued by it.  Such liabilities shall include the Affiliated Company’s reserves for unearned premiums, outstanding losses and loss expenses (including unreported losses) and all other underwriting and administrative expenses as evidenced by the Affiliated Company’s books and records, but shall not include inter-company balances, liabilities for Corporate Taxes including Federal or State Income Taxes, or liabilities incurred in connection with their respective investment transactions.

ARTICLE III

The Affiliated Company hereby assigns and transfers to EMC all right, title and interest in and to reinsurance outstanding and in force with respect to the liabilities reinsured by EMC under Article II hereof.

  

179

  

ARTICLE IV

The Affiliated Company assigns and transfers to EMC amounts equal to the aggregate of all of its liabilities reinsured by EMC under Article II hereof, less a commission allowance equal to the prepaid expenses of the Affiliated Company but not in excess of 40 percent of the Affiliated Company’s combined ratio on a trade basis.  Prepaid expenses is defined as those expenses records in column 2, part 4, of the Underwriting and Expense Exhibit of the Affiliated Company’s convention statement.  The trade combined ratio is the ratio of loss and loss adjustment expense to earned premium, plus the ratio of underwriting expenses to premiums written.

ARTICLE V

The Affiliated Company hereby reinsures, and EMC hereby cedes and transfers to the Affiliated Company a portion of its net liabilities under all contracts and policies of insurance (including those reinsured by EMC under Article II hereof) on which EMC is subject to liability and which are outstanding and in force as of 12:01 A.M. of the date signatory hereto, or are issued thereafter, in accordance with the exhibit attached hereto to which the Affiliated Company is a signatory party.  Such liabilities shall include reserves for unearned premiums, outstanding losses and loss expenses (including unreported losses) and all other underwriting and administrative expenses, but shall not include inter-company balances, liabilities for Corporate Taxes including Federal or State Income Taxes, or liabilities in connection with investment transactions.

ARTICLE VI

EMC hereby assigns and transfers to the Affiliated Company amounts equal to the aggregate of all liabilities of EMC reinsured by the Affiliated Company under contracts and policies of insurance which are outstanding and in force as of 12:01 A.M. of the date signatory hereto under Article V hereof, less a commission allowance equal to the prepaid expenses of EMC but not in excess of 40 percent of EMC’s combined ratio on a trade basis.  Prepaid expenses is defined as those expenses recorded in column 2, part 4, of the Underwriting and Expense Exhibit of EMC’s convention statement.  The trade combined ratio is the ratio of loss and loss adjustment expense to earned premium, plus the ratio of underwriting expenses to premiums written.

ARTICLE VII

EMC agrees to pay to the Affiliated Company it respective participation of all premiums written by the companies after first deducting premiums on all reinsurance ceded to reinsurers (other than the parties hereto).  Similarly, it is further agreed that all losses, loss expense and other underwriting and administrative expenses (with the exceptions noted in Articles II and V hereof) of the companies, less all losses and expense recovered and recoverable under reinsurance ceded to reinsurers (other than the parties hereto), shall be pro-rated between the parties on the basis of their respective participation as reflected in the aforesaid exhibit.

  

180

  

ARTICLE VIII

The obligation of the companies under this Agreement to exchange reinsurance between themselves may be offset by reciprocal obligation so that the net amount only shall be required to be transferred, except no offset shall be valid under circumstances prohibited by Section 7472, New York Insurance Laws.  An accounting on all transactions shall be rendered quarterly, and the settling of balances shall be made within 30 days after the rendering of the quarterly reports.  Except as otherwise required by the context of this Agreement, the amount of all payments between the companies under this Agreement shall be determined on the basis of the convention form of annual statements of the companies.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement shall not apply to the investment operations of the companies.

ARTICLE IX

The conditions of reinsurance hereunder shall in all cases be identical with the conditions of the original insurance or as changed during the term of insurance.

ARTICLE X

This Agreement is a continuing one and is unlimited as to duration but may be terminated upon mutual consent or by 30 day prior written notice by either party.

ARTICLE XI

Each of the companies hereto, as the assuming insurer, hereby agrees that all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by the assuming insurer on the basis of the liability of the ceding insurer under the policy or contract reinsured without diminution because of insolvency of the ceding insurer; provided that such reinsurance shall be payable directly to the ceding insurer or to its liquidator, receiver or other statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118 of New York Insurance Law or except (a) where the contract specifically provides another payee for such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the ceding insurer and (b) where the assuming insurer, with consent of the direct insured or insureds, has assumed such policy obligations of the ceding insurer as direct obligations of the assuming insurer to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the ceding insurer to such payee; and further provided that the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the ceding insurer shall give written notice of the pendency of any claim against the insolvent ceding insurer on the policy or contract reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim; and the assuming insurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which it may deem available to the ceding insurer or it liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, the expense thus incurred by the assuming insurer to be chargeable, subject to court approval against the insolvent ceding insurer as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the ceding insurer solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the assuming insurer.

ARTICLE XII

Each party shall allow the other party to inspect, at reasonable times, the records of the Company relevant to the business reinsured under this Agreement, including files concerning claims, losses, or legal proceedings which involve or are likely to involve the other party.

  

181

D.

	
The board shall make its decision with regard to the custom and usage of the insurance and reinsurance business.

The board shall make its decision within 60 days following the termination of the hearings unless the parties consent to an extension.  The majority decision of the board shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding.  Judgment may be entered upon the award of the board in any court having  jurisdiction thereof.

	
E.

In the event that one of the Affiliated Companies becomes insolvent or is otherwise subject to liquidation or receivership proceedings, EMC shall adjust the net retained portion of its net liabilities and the other Affiliated Companies shall adjust their assumed portions of the net liabilities of EMC, each on a pro rata basis, so as to collectively absorb or assume in full the assumed portion of the net liabilities of EMC which would otherwise be the responsibility of such impaired Affiliated Company, but for the impairment.  In the event that EMC becomes insolvent or is otherwise subject to liquidation or receivership proceedings, the Affiliated Companies shall, on a pro rata basis, assume the remaining net liabilities of EMC which they had not previously assumed so that, collectively, they are assuming 100% of the net liabilities of EMC.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no change in either EMC’s net retained portion of its net liabilities or any Affiliated Company's assumed portion of the net liabilities of EMC shall occur until EMC and the Affiliated Companies shall have complied with all regulatory requirements applicable to such change(s) under the laws of the states in which EMC or any of the Affiliated Companies are domiciled.
