TRUST AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS  CLAUSE



 

 
Any trust used as a form of Credit Enhancement  for a Reinsurance Transaction with the Company for which Applicable Eligible Ratings credit will be taken as contemplated by Reinsurance Placements Policy should satisfy all of the following requirements:
 

Treaty Provisions.  The reinsurance treaty should contain provisions obligating the counterparty, as grantor (the "Grantor"),  to establish a trust consistent with the requirements  detailed below and to ensure  that this trust  is maintained  at all times while the reinsurance treaty remains in force or any obligations under the reinsurance treaty remain outstanding.
 

Eligible  Trustees.    The  trustee  selected  for  the  trust  (the  "Trustee") should  be  a "Qualified  Bank."    "Qualified  Bank"  means  a bank or trust company  that:   (A) is organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; (B) is regulated,  supervised  and  examined  by  United  States  Federal  or  state  authorities having regulatory authority over banks and trust companies; (C) is determined  by the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners to  meet  such  standards   of  financial   condition   and  standing   as  are  considered necessary and appropriate to regulate the quality of banks and trust companies whose letters  of credit will be acceptable  to insurance  regulatory  authorities;  (D) is not a foreign branch office of a bank or trust company organized and existing in the United States; (E) is not a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company  or the insurance or reinsurance counterparty with whom the Company is doing business; (F) has capital and surplus of not less than $300 million dollars; and (G) has a "Qualified Rating" of not less than "A-" from Standard & Poors Corporation  or its successor ("S&P")  and has a "Qualified Rating" of not less than "A3" by Moody's  Investor Services, Inc. or its successor ("Moody's").  A "Qualified  Rating"  means a long-term debt rating or a long-term, bank issuer rating that remains in effect and has not been suspended or withdrawn.
 

Substitute Trustees.   Any substitute trustee should be a "Qualified  Bank" (as defined above)  and  should  either  be  selected  by  Beneficiary  or  approved  in  writing  by Beneficiary.
 

Initial Funding.  Initially, the trust should be funded with assets having a fair market value at least equal to the aggregate amount of the reinsured obligations multiplied by one hundred and two percent (102%).
 

Supplemental  Funding.     The trust  agreement  should provide  for immediate supplemental  funding by the Grantor if the aggregate fair market of the assets held in the trust at any time falls below the required amount of assets to be held in the trust (including any required amount of over-collateralization).

Required  Trust Provisions.   The trust instrument  itself should  indicate  the following:
 

Legal  title  to the assets  in the trust  is vested  with  the Trustee  for the  benefit  of the Beneficiary.   Any provision  directing the Trustee  to provide evidence  of ownership of the assets to the Grantor  or the Grantor's designee  should  either be deleted or changed to require evidence  to be furnished to the Beneficiary.
 

The  Company  should   be  expressly   named   as  the  sole  beneficiary  of  the  trust. Wording  should  be included  to define  the Beneficiary as including  "any successor by operation of law of the Company, including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator for the Company."
 

The  trust  should  remain  in effect  as for as long  as the reinsurance treaty  remains  in effect or any of the reinsured  obligations remain outstanding.  The Grantor  should  not have the unilateral  right to revoke or terminate  the trust or to take any other  unilateral action that would effectively revoke or terminate  the trust, except that the Grantor  can be entitled  to furnish  notice of tennination of the Trust  to the Beneficiary at least 30 days,  but  not  more  than  45  days,   prior  to  the  effective  date  of  the  termination provided  that  the  Beneficiary retains  the  right  to  withdraw   all of  the  assets  in  the Trust   at  any  time  up  to  and  following  the  receipt   of  such  notification  from  the Grantor.
 

The  trust  cannot  be  subject  to  any  conditions  or  qualifications outside  of  the  trust agreement   itself.     It  cannot   contain   any  references  to  any  other   agreements  or documents other than the reinsurance treaty.
 

Beneficiary should  be  able  to  withdraw assets  from  the  trust  at  any  time,  without notice  to  the  Grantor,   subject   only  to  written  notice  from  the  Beneficiary to  the Trustee.    No  other  statement or  document should   be  required   to  be  presented   to withdraw  any assets,  except  that the Beneficiary may be required  to acknowledge to the Trustee  receipt  of any assets withdrawn.
 

Contested  claims  are  valid  and  enforceable out  of  funds  held  in trust  to  the  extent remaining  unsatisfied thirty  (30)  days  after  entry  of the  final  order  of  any  court  of competent  jurisdiction in the United States.
 

The trust  is subject  to examination, as determined by the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of New Jersey,  the Commissioner of Insurance for the state in which the trust  is domiciled (if  not  New  Jersey),  and  the  Commissioner of  Insurance  for  any other state which has accepted  regulatory  oversight  of the trust.
 

Grantor   is  required   to  report  annually,  to  the  Commissioner of  Insurance of  any insurance  department having  jurisdiction over the Beneficiary, substantially the same information as that  required  to be reported  on the National  Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) annual statement form by licensed  insurers,  to enable the Commissioner to determine the sufficiency of the trust funds.

Trustee  Obligations.  The Trustee  should  have all of the following obligations under the trust agreement:

To furnish  to Grantor  and Beneficiary a statement of all the assets  in the trust account at inception  and at least once per calendar  quarter  thereafter.
 

To  notify  Grantor   and  Beneficiary  within   ten  (10)  days  of  any  deposits   to,  or withdrawals from, the trust account.

To allow  no substitutions or withdrawals of assets  from  the trust  account  without  the written  direction of  the  Beneficiary, except  that:    (a)  the  Trustee   can  withdraw  a maturing   or  called  asset   by  notice  to  the  Beneficiary  provided   the  proceeds   are deposited into  the trust account; and (b) the Grantor  can substitute trust  assets  using assets  that constitute "eligible assets" so long as the Beneficiary has determined that the  overall  market  value  of  the  substituted assets  contributed to  the  trust  equals  or exceeds  the market value of the assets to be withdrawn.
 

To notify  the Beneficiary in writing  of any  termination of the trust, such  notice  to be given  not  less  than  30 days  nor more  than  45 days  prior to the  effective date  of the tem1ination.

Permissible  Withdrawals.   The trust  agreement  should specify  permissible  purposes for  withdrawn  funds,  including   the  following:     (1)  paying  or  reimbursing   the Beneficiary for amounts owed by the Grantor to the Beneficiary,  including,  but not limited  to,  any  unreimbursed   portion  of  the  reinsured  obligations;   (2)  to  make periodic  payment  to  the  Grantor  of  amounts   held  in  excess  of  the   reinsured obligations and any required over-collateralization;  and (3) where the Beneficiary has received notice of termination  of the trust and the reinsured obligations remain unliquidated   and  undischarged   ten  (10)   days  prior  to  the  termination   date,  to withdraw amounts equal to the reinsured obligations and deposit these amounts in an account  in  Beneficiary's  name  with  a  U.S.  financial  institution  in  trust  for  the purposes described in subparagraph (1) above.
 

Grantor's   Limited  Rights  of  Substitution  and  Withdrawal.     The  trust  agreement should not permit  the Grantor to substitute  assets, direct the investment of assets  in the trust, or withdraw assets from the trust except as follows. The first permissible exception is that assets in excess of the reinsured obligations plus the required overcollateralization   may  be  periodically  withdrawn  and  paid  to  Grantor  with  the prior written consent of Beneficiary (not to be unreasonably withheld).   The second pem1issible exception is that the Grantor may substitute trust assets using assets that constitute "eligible assets" so long as the Beneficiary has determined that the overall market value of the substituted  assets contributed  to the trust equals or exceeds  the market value of the assets to be withdrawn.
 

Investment  Earnings.   The investment  income (interest & dividends)  received  from the trust assets should remain in the trust and be reinvested in accordance with the provisions  of  the  trust.    However,  at  such  time  as  the  investment  earnings  and underlying   market   values   of  the  assets   are  sufficient,   "excess   value"   can  be withdrawn and paid to the Grantor or can be made available to be used for payment of the costs and expenses of the trust as noted above.
 

Domicile; Governing Law.  The trust should be domiciled in a state within the United States of America and the assets in the trust held in an office of the Trustee in a state within the United States  of America.   The trust instrument  should  be governed  by New Jersey, New York, or Arizona substantive law, as appropriate.
