The Company shall not be required to pay any additional premium for the one full reinstatement of limit.

 

 

Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund

A. The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (hereinafter referred to as "FHCF") mandatory layer of coverage, which is purchased by the Company, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. In the event any portion of the mandatory layer of coverage is eroded or exhausted, only the remaining limit of such coverage shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of this Contract. However, any FHCF loss reimbursement shall be deemed to be paid to the Company in accordance with the FHCF reimbursement contract at the full payout level set forth therein and will be deemed not to be reduced by any inability of The State Board of Administration of the State of Florida to satisfy the actual claims-paying capacity of the FHCF.

 

B. Prior to the determination of the Company's FHCF retention and payout, if any, under the reimbursement contract between the Company and the State Board of Administration of the State of Florida, the Reinsurer's liability hereunder will be determined provisionally based on the projected payout, determined in accordance with the provisions of the reimbursement contract. Following determination of the payout under the reimbursement contract, the ultimate net loss under this Contract will be recalculated. If, as a result of such calculation, the loss to the Reinsurer under any excess layer of this Contract in any one loss occurrence is less than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer under that excess layer, the Company shall promptly remit the difference to the Reinsurer. If the loss to the Reinsurer under any excess layer of this Contract in any one loss occurrence is greater than the amount previously paid by the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer shall promptly remit the difference to the Company.

C. If an FHCF reimbursement amount is based on the Company's losses in more than one loss occurrence commencing during the term of this Contract, the allocation of the total FHCF reimbursement received by the Company to individual loss occurrences shall be at the sole discretion of the Company, provided that:

 

1. The amount allocated by the Company to any individual loss occurrence shall not exceed the amount of FHCF reimbursement to which the Company would be entitled for that loss occurrence alone; and

 

2. The total amount allocated by the Company to all such loss occurrences shall be equal to the total FHCF reimbursement received by the Company for such loss occurrences.

 

D. Any reimbursement premiums or emergency assessment paid by the Company under the FHCF shall be deemed to be premiums paid for inuring reinsurance.

 

E. The Company has opted for 90.0% coverage selection from the FHCF.

 

 

Terrorism

A. Except as provided in paragraph B below, any loss reimbursement the Company receives from the United States Government under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 or any subsequent amendments, extensions or reauthorizations thereof (the "Terrorism Act") as a result of loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company and shall be entirely disregarded in applying all of the provisions of this Contract.

 

B. If one or more loss occurrences commencing during the term of this Contract result(s) in recoveries made by the Company for insured losses (as defined in the Terrorism Act) under this Contract and under the Terrorism Act, and such recoveries, together with any other reinsurance recoveries made by the Company for insured losses applicable to said loss occurrence(s), exceed the amount permitted by the Terrorism Act, a percentage of any amount in excess thereof shall reduce the ultimate net loss subject to this Contract for the loss occurrence(s) to which the recoveries apply. Such percentage for each loss occurrence to which recoveries apply shall be determined by dividing the recoveries made by the Company for insured losses under this Contract in that loss occurrence by the total treaty reinsurance recoveries made by the Company for insured losses in that loss occurrence.

 

C. For purposes hereof, if a loss reimbursement received by the Company under the Terrorism Act is based on the Company's insured losses in more than one loss occurrence and the United States Government does not designate the amount allocable to each loss occurrence, the reimbursement shall be prorated in the proportion that the Company's insured losses in each loss occurrence bear to the Company's total insured losses arising out of all loss occurrences to which the recovery applies.

D. If a loss occurrence under this Contract involves both insured losses as defined in the Terrorism Act and losses covered hereunder which are not insured losses under the Terrorism Act, any recoveries made by the Company under this Contract in such loss occurrence shall be deemed to be made by the Company for insured losses, but only for an amount not exceeding the Company's insured losses in that loss occurrence.

"Extra contractual obligations" shall mean any punitive, exemplary, compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not covered by any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of any claim on business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits, failure by the Company to settle within a timely manner, or by reason of the Company's 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 an action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the policy.

EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

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

 

3.

Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable until the Company's ultimate net loss has been ascertained. In the event a verdict or judgment is reduced by an appeal or a settlement subsequent to the entry of the judgment thereby resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict or judgment, or a judgment is reversed outright, the loss adjustment expense incurred in securing such final reduction or reversal shall be prorated between the Reinsurer and the Company in the proportion that each benefits from such reduction or reversal. However, for the purposes of this Contract, loss in excess of policy limits and extra contractual obligations arising out of any one loss occurrence shall not exceed 25.0% of ultimate net loss as calculated prior to the consideration of such 25.0% limitation.

 

 

Other Reinsurance

EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

Loss Occurrence

A. "Loss occurrence" as used in this Contract shall mean 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. 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:

 

1. 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 96 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.

 

2. As regards windstorm, hail, tornado, 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.

 

3. 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 96 consecutive hours, and, with the exception of coordinated union activities (for which there are no geographical restrictions), within the area of one municipality or county and the municipalities or counties contiguous thereto arising out of and directly occasioned by the same event. The maximum duration of 96 consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual losses which occur beyond such 96 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of an insured's premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period.

 

4. As regards earthquake (the epicenter of which need not necessarily be within the territorial confines referred to in the introductory portion of this paragraph) and fire following directly occasioned by the earthquake, only those individual fire losses which commence during the period of 168 consecutive hours may be included in the Company's loss occurrence.

EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

5. As regards freeze, only individual losses directly occasioned by collapse, breakage of glass and water damage (including but not limited to those caused by freezing and/or melting of ice, snow or sleet, or ice damming on structures, or by bursting frozen pipes and tanks) may be included in the Company's loss occurrence.

 

6. Notwithstanding the above, as regards firestorms, brush fires and any other fires or series of fires, irrespective of origin (except as provided in subparagraphs A(3) and A(4) above), all individual losses sustained by the Company which commence during any period of 240 consecutive hours within a 250-mile radius of any fixed point selected by the Company may be included in the Company's loss occurrence. However, an individual loss subject to this subparagraph cannot be included in more than one loss occurrence.

 

B. For all loss occurrences, other than those referred to in subparagraph A(3) above, 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, and provided that only one such period of 168 or 240 consecutive hours shall apply with respect to one event, except as otherwise provided for in this Article.

 

C. As respects those loss occurrences referred to in subparagraph A(3) above, if the disaster, accident, or loss occasioned by the event is of greater duration than 96 consecutive hours, the Company may divide that disaster, accident, or loss into two or more loss occurrences and may choose the date and time when each such period of consecutive hours commences, 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.

 

D. Losses arising from a combination of two or more perils as a result of the same event may be considered as having arisen from one loss occurrence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hourly limitations as stated in paragraph A 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, except as otherwise provided for in this Article.

 

 

Loss Notices and Settlements

A. As respects each excess layer hereunder, whenever losses sustained by the Company appear likely, in the Company's opinion, to result in a claim hereunder, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer.

 

B. The Company alone and in its sole discretion shall adjust, settle or compromise all claims and losses hereunder.

 

C. Loss payments, whether made by the Company as a result of adjustment, settlement or compromise, provided they are within the terms of this Contract, shall be binding on the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer shall pay within 10 business days to the Company its share of

amounts due upon receipt of reasonable evidence of the amount paid (or scheduled to be paid) by the Company.

 

 

Cash Call

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Loss Notices and Settlements Article, upon the request of the Company, the Reinsurer shall pay any amount with regard to a loss settlement or settlements that are scheduled to be made (including any payments projected to be made) within the next 30 days by the Company, subject to receipt by the Reinsurer of a satisfactory proof of loss. Such agreed payment shall be made within 14 days from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

 

 

Salvage and Subrogation

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage or recoveries from subrogation (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the Company and sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) on account of claims and settlements involving this Contract. Salvage thereon or subrogation recoveries shall always be used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of their priority according to their participation before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary loss. The Company shall enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a part of which loss has been sustained by the Reinsurer, and shall prosecute all claims arising out of such rights if, in the Company's opinion, it is economically reasonable to do so.

 

 

Premium

As premium for the reinsurance provided by this Contract, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer [ ] in one flat installment of the amount on June 1, 2025.

 

 

Sanctions

Neither the Company nor any Subscribing Reinsurer shall be liable for premium or loss under this Contract if it would result in a violation of any mandatory sanction, prohibition or restriction under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America that are applicable to either party.

2. 1/365th of the sum of 4.0% and the U.S. prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month for which the calculation is made; times

 

3. The amount past due, including accrued interest.

 

Interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus interest charges have been received by the owed party.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph B(2) above and the immediately preceding sentence, the interest rate for a Runoff Subscribing Reinsurer shall increase by 1.0% for every month that payment of the claim is past due, subject to a maximum annual interest rate of 12.0%.

 

C. If the interest rate provided under this Article exceeds the maximum interest rate allowed by any applicable law, such interest rate shall be modified to the highest rate permitted by the applicable law, and all remaining provisions of this Article and Contract shall remain in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

 

D. The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as follows:

 

1. As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract, and such payments shall be deemed overdue 30 days past the provided due date. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days after the date of transmittal by the owed party of the initial billing for each such payment.

 

2. As respects a "cash call" made in accordance with the Cash Call Article, payment shall be deemed due 20 days after the demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 20 days, interest shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

3. Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder other than as set forth in subparagraph 2 above shall be deemed due 30 days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 30 days, interest shall accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.

 

4. As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs D(1), D(2) and D(3) above, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days following transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.

 

For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the owed party.

 

E. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any interest charges due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest charge on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.

 

F. Interest charges arising out of the application of this Article that are $100 or less from any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or more items over the course of any 12-month period.

 

 

Offset (BRMA 36C)

The Company and the Reinsurer shall have the right to offset any balance or amounts due from one party to the other under the terms of this Contract.

accounting files of the Company which pertain in any way to this Contract. However, a Subscribing Reinsurer or its designated representatives 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, nor shall any right of access be construed to allow the Reinsurer the right to delay or withhold payment for any undisputed losses which shall fall due hereunder.. "Undisputed" as used herein shall mean any amount that the Subscribing Reinsurer has not contested in writing to the Company specifying the reason(s) why the payments are disputed.

 

B. Prior to the access and review by the Reinsurer of certain books and records, the Company may redact names and any other information the Company, in its sole judgment, considers proprietary and any information the Company is required by law or regulation to redact.

The Company may require that any third-party representatives of the Reinsurer agree, in writing, to be bound by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, containing terms no less stringent than those set forth in this Article. If a third-party representative of the Reinsurer is not bound, in writing, by this Confidentiality Article or by a separate written confidentiality agreement, the Reinsurer shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by such third-party representative of the Reinsurer.

F. The parties agree that any information subject to privilege, including the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrine (collectively "privilege") shall not be disclosed to the Reinsurer until, in the Company's opinion, such privilege is deemed to be waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract. Furthermore, the Reinsurer shall not assert that any privilege otherwise applicable to the confidential information has been waived or otherwise compromised by virtue of its disclosure pursuant to this Contract.

 

G. The provisions of this Article shall extend to the officers, directors and employees of the Reinsurer and its affiliates, and shall be binding upon their successors and assigns.

1. The Subscribing Reinsurer shall notify the Company immediately in writing. However, with respect to personally identifiable information acquired by or made available to an unauthorized third party due to a Subscribing Reinsurer's breach of this Article, that Subscribing Reinsurer shall notify the Company that such a breach has occurred in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations that apply by law to the parties to this Contract. A Subscribing Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company for any and all losses, claims, fines, and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs and credit monitoring expenses, incurred by the Company as a result of that Subscribing Reinsurer's breach of this Article.

 

2. The Company may, at its option, seek relief by forgoing arbitration as provided in this Contract and bringing an action in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The court or other tribunal may award damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses, and any other remedies available under the law due to that Subscribing Reinsurer's breach of this Article.

Notwithstanding the provisions above, if the Subscribing Reinsurer became authorized, trusteed, accepted, approved or qualified in any state of the United States of America, any of its territories or possessions, or the District of Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company's reserves before January 1, 2010, then the Subscribing Reinsurer may provide funding via a multi-beneficiary trust amounting to 100% of the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations, and such funding shall be deemed to satisfy the funding requirements under this Article. Any funding in a multi-beneficiary trust shall include an amount of incurred but not reported loss reserves as calculated by the Company.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Arbitration Article, if a Runoff Subscribing Reinsurer fails to fund its share of the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations under this Contract as set forth above, the Company retains its right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable or interim relief.

Contract as set forth above, the Company retains its right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable or interim relief.

 

D. With regard to funding in whole or in part by letters of credit, each letter of credit shall be in a form acceptable to insurance regulatory authorities involved, shall be issued for a term of at least one year and shall include an "evergreen clause," which automatically extends the term for at least one additional year at each expiration date unless written notice of non-renewal is given to the Company not less than 30 days prior to said expiration date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, said letters of credit may be drawn upon by the Company or its successors in interest at any time, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Subscribing Reinsurer, but only for one or more of the following purposes:

 

1. To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer's share of unearned premiums, if any, returned to insureds on account of policy cancellations, unless paid in cash by the Subscribing Reinsurer;

 

2. To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer's share of losses and/or loss adjustment expense paid under the terms of policies reinsured hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Subscribing Reinsurer;

 

3. To reimburse the Company for the Subscribing Reinsurer's share of any other amounts claimed to be due hereunder, unless paid in cash by the Subscribing Reinsurer;

 

4. To fund a cash account in an amount equal to the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations and/or the Subscribing Reinsurer's Canadian obligations funded by means of a letter of credit which is under non-renewal notice, if said letter of credit has not been renewed or replaced by the Subscribing Reinsurer 10 days prior to its expiration date;

 

5. To refund to the Subscribing Reinsurer any sum in excess of the actual amount required to fund the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations and/or the Subscribing Reinsurer's Canadian obligations, if so requested by the Subscribing Reinsurer.

 

In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any letter of credit is in excess of the actual amount required for D(1), D(2) or D(4) above, or in the case of D(3) above, the actual amount determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Subscribing Reinsurer the excess amount so drawn.

 

E. At annual intervals, or more frequently as determined by the Company (but never more frequently than quarterly), the Company shall prepare a specific statement, for the sole purpose of amending the respective letters of credit, of the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations and/or the Subscribing Reinsurer's Canadian obligations. Amendments shall be made to said letters of credit in accordance with the following:

 

1. If the statement shows that the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations exceed the balance of credit applicable thereto as of the statement date, and/or if the statement shows that the portion of the Subscribing Reinsurer's Canadian obligations

Page 19

 

 


EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

which the Subscribing Reinsurer has elected to fund by letter of credit, if any, exceeds the balance of credit applicable thereto as of the statement date, the Subscribing Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment or amendments of the respective letters of credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of the applicable difference.

 

2. If, however, the statement shows that the Subscribing Reinsurer's United States obligations are less than the balance of credit applicable thereto as of the statement date, and/or if the statement shows that the portion of Subscribing Reinsurer's Canadian obligations which the Subscribing Reinsurer has elected to fund by letter of credit, if any, is less than the balance of credit applicable thereto as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Subscribing Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment or amendments to the respective letters of credit reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of the applicable excess credit.

 

F. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, as respects a Subscribing Reinsurer that is a Reciprocal Jurisdiction Reinsurer, the Subscribing Reinsurer agrees to provide collateral for 100% of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s obligations under this Contract, if the Subscribing Reinsurer resists enforcement of a final judgment that is enforceable under the law of the jurisdiction in which it was obtained or a properly enforceable arbitration or arbitral award, whether obtained by the Company or by its legal successor on behalf of its resolution estate, if applicable.

 

Further, with respect to Certain Underwriting Members of Lloyd's, this Contract does not constitute an American Reinsurance Policy as defined under the Lloyd’s US Situs Credit for Reinsurance Trust Deed or the Lloyd’s American Credit for Reinsurance Joint Asset Trust Deed. Therefore, the Company does not have recourse to those trust funds with respect to this Contract.

 

 

Insolvency

A. This Article shall apply severally to each reinsured company referenced within the definition of "Company" in this Contract. Further, this Article and the laws of the domiciliary jurisdiction shall apply in the event of the insolvency of any company intended to be covered hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Article and the laws of the domiciliary jurisdiction of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that domiciliary jurisdiction's laws shall prevail.

 

B. In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Company 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. However, 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

25\C0KT1013A

Page 20

 

 


EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and 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 which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

 

C. Where two or more Subscribing 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 Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

 

D. In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the Reinsurer to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or except (1) where this Contract specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance 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.

 

 

Arbitration

A. As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Contract, such dispute or difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One arbiter shall be chosen by the Company, the other by the Reinsurer, and an umpire shall be chosen by the two arbiters before they enter upon arbitration, all of whom shall be disinterested active or former officials or experienced individuals who have operated in, or been involved in, business placed in the United States insurance or reinsurance industry for at least 10 years. In the event that either party should fail to choose an arbiter within 30 days following a written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two arbiters who shall in turn choose an umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an umpire within 30 days following their appointment, the two arbiters shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the umpire. If the American Arbitration Association fails to appoint the umpire within 30 days after it has been requested to do so, either party may request a justice of a Court of general jurisdiction of the state in which the arbitration is to be held to appoint the umpire. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the dispute or difference of opinion involves a Runoff Subscribing Reinsurer, the Company may, at its option, choose to forgo arbitration and may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such court shall award costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses, if the Company prevails in such action.

EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

B. Each party shall present its case to the arbiters within 30 days following the date of appointment of the umpire. The arbiters shall consider this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the arbiters shall be final and binding on both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the umpire and the decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties. Judgment upon the final decision of the arbiters may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbiters may award costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses.

 

C. If more than one Subscribing Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such Subscribing Reinsurers shall, at the option of the Company, constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the Subscribing Reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such Subscribing Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the Subscribing Reinsurers participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

 

D. Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the umpire and of the arbitration. In the event that the two arbiters are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the arbiters, the umpire and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two parties.

 

E. Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Contract, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of Florida.

 

F. In the event the dispute or difference of opinion involves a Runoff Subscribing Reinsurer and the Company prevails in the arbitration, the arbiters shall conduct a bad-faith assessment in accordance with applicable law as soon as practicable after their decision. The arbiters shall award any necessary and legally permissible punitive damages to the Company.

 

 

Service of Suit

(Applicable if the Subscribing Reinsurer is not domiciled in the United States of America, and/or is not authorized in any state, territory or district of the United States where authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities)

 

A. 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.

 

B. In the event the Subscribing Reinsurer fails to perform its obligations hereunder, the Subscribing 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

EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Subscribing 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 Subscribing Reinsurer, once the appropriate Court is accepted by the Subscribing 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 any of the Subscribing Reinsurers upon this Contract, shall abide by the final decision of such Court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an appeal.

 

C. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which makes provision therefor, the Subscribing Reinsurer hereby designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his or her 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.

 

 

Governing Law

This Contract shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the laws of the State of Florida, subject to the Limited Recourse and Bermuda regulations clauses as set out in the Limited Recourse Article, exclusive of conflict of law rules.

The Trust Fund shall be funded pursuant to the provisions hereof. Collateral deposited in the Trust Fund may be withdrawn on the terms set forth herein and in the 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;

 

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

 

B. The term “Obligations” shall mean during the term of the Contract, 100% of the limit of the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder less any unpaid premium (net of brokerage and Federal Excise Tax as applicable) and aggregate amounts previously paid by the Reinsurer in respect of claims under this Contract. Upon expiration of the Contract, the term “Obligations” shall mean the amount as determined in accordance with paragraph D below.

 

C. If, at expiration of this Contract, the Company, in its commercially reasonable judgment, believes that no claims will impact this Contract, the Company will so notify the Reinsurer and shall fully and finally release from the Trust Fund all collateral contained therein.

 

D. If, at the expiration of this Contract, the Company, in its commercially reasonable judgment, believes that the Company may have a claim hereunder, the Company shall estimate the amount of reinstatement premium due under this Contract based on the reinstatement premium payable under the contract identified in the Business Covered article follows, unless otherwise mutually agreed:

 

1. The Company shall determine the sum of the following for this Contract, as of this Contract expiration date:

 

a. Losses and loss adjustment expense paid by the Company;

2. The Company shall then calculate the estimated reinstatement premium due on this Contract and such amount shall constitute the Reinsurer’s Obligations.

 

3. The amount of the estimated reinstatement premium due on this Contract, measured as of the applicable determination date (as specified in paragraph E below), shall be multiplied by a factor, based upon the number of months, which have elapsed on such determination date since expiration of this Contract, as follows:

 

a. From 0 to 12 months from expiration of this Contract, 150%, else;

 

b. From 13 to 24 months from expiration of this Contract, 125%, else;

As of 67 months after expiration of this Contract (the “Reporting Period”), the amount determined in subparagraphs 1, 2 and 3 above for such date shall be considered the definitive Final Limit for each such Loss Occurrence for which the Company and the Reinsurer agree to commute this Contract with final settlement on that basis.

 

E. The procedure for determining the amount of collateral required to fund the Reinsurer’s Obligations as set forth in paragraph D above, shall be followed each and every time, if in the opinion of the Company, there are materially new estimates regarding its losses, and each quarter-end, until all the Reinsurer’s Obligations have been extinguished or the Reporting Period is over, whichever is earlier. The information to be used for the determinations of the Reinsurer’s Obligations shall be as reflected on the Company’s official books and records.

 

F. The Company agrees to release from the Trust Fund all collateral in excess of 102% of the amount required to pay the Reinsurer’s Obligations for its share of actual and possible claims, as determined in accordance with paragraph A, above within 10 Business Days of the date of such determination. “Business Day” shall be defined as a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks are open for commercial business in Bermuda and in New York, New York, U.S.A.

 

G. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reinsurer is licensed as a segregated account company, the Company agrees and acknowledges that there shall only be recourse to the Segregated Trust Account assets, and in the event of the exhaustion of the Segregated Trust Account assets there shall be no recourse by any party for any claims, payments, other expenses or fees whatsoever, howsoever arising pursuant to this Contract, to the assets which are allocated to any other segregated account of the Reinsurer or to the general account of the Reinsurer.

 

H. At the end of the Reporting Period, this Contract will be commuted based on the Reinsurer’s Obligations at that point. The Company agrees to terminate the Trust Account, and all remaining collateral will be released to the Company and/or the Reinsurer, as applicable, and both parties shall be released from any further obligations under this Contract.

 

 

Limited Recourse

A. The liability of the Reinsurer for the performance and discharge of all of its obligations, however they may arise, in relation to this Contract (together “Obligations” for purposes of this Article), shall be limited to and payable solely from the proceeds of realization of the assets of the Trust Fund established in accordance with this Contract, and accordingly there shall be no recourse to any other assets of the Reinsurer whether or not allocated to any other separate account or the general account of the Reinsurer. In the event that the proceeds of realization of the assets of the Trust Fund are insufficient to meet all Obligations, any Obligations remaining after the application of such proceeds shall be extinguished, and the Company undertakes in such circumstances to take no further action against the Reinsurer in respect of any such Obligations. In particular, neither the Company

nor any party acting on its behalf shall petition or take any steps for the winding up or receivership of the Reinsurer.

 

B.

Pools, Associations and Syndicates Exclusion Clause

(Catastrophe)

 

 

It is hereby understood and agreed that:

 

A. This Contract excludes loss or liability arising from:

 

1. Business derived directly or indirectly from any pool, association, or syndicate which maintains its own reinsurance facilities. This subparagraph 1 shall not apply with respect to:

 

a. Residual market mechanisms created by statute. This Contract shall not extend, however, to afford coverage for liability arising from the inability of any other participant or member in the residual market mechanism to meet its obligations, nor shall this Contract extend to afford coverage for liability arising from any claim against the residual market mechanism brought by or on behalf of any insolvency fund (as defined in the Insolvency Fund Exclusion Clause incorporated in this Contract). For the purposes of this Clause, the California Earthquake Authority shall be deemed to be a "residual market mechanism."

 

b. Inter-agency or inter-government joint underwriting or risk purchasing associations (however styled) created by or permitted by statute or regulation.

 

2. Those perils insured by the Company that the Company knows, at the time the risk is bound, to be insured by or in excess of amounts insured or reinsured by any pool, association or syndicate formed for the purpose of insuring oil, gas, or petro-chemical plants; oil or gas drilling rigs; and/or aviation risks. This subparagraph 2 shall not apply:

 

a. If the total insured value over all interests of the risk is less than $250,000,000.

 

b. To interests traditionally underwritten as Inland Marine or Stock or Contents written on a blanket basis.

 

c. To Contingent Business Interruption liability, except when it is known to the Company, at the time the risk is bound, that the key location is insured by or through any pool, association or syndicate formed for the purpose of insuring oil, gas, or petro-chemical plants; oil or gas drilling rigs; and/or aviation risks; unless the total insured value over all interests of the risk is less than $250,000,000.

 

B. With respect to loss or liability arising from the Company's participation or membership in any residual market mechanism created by statute, the Company may include in its ultimate net loss only amounts for which the Company is assessed as a direct consequence of a covered loss occurrence, subject to the following provisions:

 

1. Recovery is limited to perils otherwise protected hereunder.

 

2. In the event the terms of the Company's participation or membership in any such residual market mechanism permit the Company to recoup any such direct assessment attributed to a loss occurrence by way of a specific policy premium surcharge or similar levy on policyholders, the amount received by the Company as a result of such premium surcharge or levy shall reduce the Company's ultimate net loss for such loss occurrence.

EXHIBIT 10.46. Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is immaterial and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. Information that has been omitted is indicated with brackets.

 

3. The result of any rate increase filing permitted by the terms of the Company's participation or membership in any such residual market mechanism following any assessment shall have no effect on the Company's ultimate net loss for any covered loss occurrence.

 

4. The result of any premium tax credit filing permitted by the terms of the Company's participation or membership in any such residual market mechanism following any assessment shall reduce the Company's ultimate net loss for any covered loss occurrence.

 

5. The Company may not include in its ultimate net loss any amount resulting from an assessment that, pursuant to the terms of the Company's participation or membership in the residual market mechanism, the Company is required to pay only after such assessment is collected from the policyholder.

 

6. The ultimate net loss hereunder shall not include any monies expended to purchase or retire bonds as a consequence of being a member of a residual market mechanism nor any fines or penalties imposed on the Company for late payment.

 

7. If, however, a residual market mechanism only provides for assessment based on an aggregate of losses in any one contract or plan year of said mechanism, then the amount of that assessment to be included in the ultimate net loss for any one loss occurrence shall be determined by multiplying the Company's share of the aggregate assessment by a factor derived by dividing the Company's ultimate net loss (net of the assessment) with respect to the loss occurrence by the total of all of its ultimate net losses (net of assessments) from all loss occurrences included by the mechanism in determining the assessment.
