GENERAL ARTICLES

In consideration of the promises set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

Article I – SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

As a condition precedent to the Reinsurer’s obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall cede to the Reinsurer the business described in this Agreement, and the Reinsurer shall accept such business as reinsurance from the Company.

This Agreement is comprised of the General Articles and the Exhibit(s) listed below and each Exhibit which may be made a part of this Agreement. The terms of the General Articles and of the Exhibit(s) shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties. The terms of the General Articles shall apply to each Exhibit unless specifically amended therein. In the event of termination of all the Exhibits made a part of this Agreement, the General Articles shall automatically terminate when the liability of the Reinsurer under said Exhibits ceases.

EXHIBIT A – EXCESS OF LOSS REINSURANCE (Catastrophe)

of Personal Property Business

Article II – PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT

This Agreement is solely between the Company and the Reinsurer. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the article entitled INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY:

 

(a)

When more than one company is named as a party to this Agreement, the first company named shall be the agent of the other companies as to all matters pertaining to this Agreement.

 

(b)

In no instance shall any insured of the Company, any claimant against an insured of the Company, or any other third party have any rights under this Agreement.

Article III – MANAGEMENT OF CLAIMS AND LOSSES

The Company shall investigate and settle or defend all claims and losses. When requested by the Reinsurer, the Company shall permit the Reinsurer, at the expense of the Reinsurer, to be associated with the Company in the defense or settlement of any claim, loss, or legal proceeding which involves or is likely to involve the Reinsurer. All payments of claims or losses by the Company within the terms and limits of its policies which are within the limits set forth in the applicable Exhibit shall be binding on the Reinsurer, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Article IV – RECOVERIES

The Company shall pay to or credit the Reinsurer with the Reinsurer’s portion of any recovery obtained from salvage, subrogation, other insurance, or otherwise. Adjustment Expense for recoveries shall be deducted from the amount recovered. However, if the Adjustment Expense incurred in obtaining recoveries exceeds the amount recovered, if any, the excess Adjustment Expense shall be apportioned between the parties in proportion to the liability of each party for the loss before the recovery was obtained.

The Reinsurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Company to the extent of its loss payments to the Company. The Company agrees to enforce its rights of salvage, subrogation, and its rights against insurers or other parties or to assign these rights to the Reinsurer.

If the reinsurance under an Exhibit is on a share basis, the recoveries shall be apportioned between the parties in the same ratio as the amounts of their liabilities bear to the loss. If the reinsurance under an Exhibit is on an excess basis, recoveries shall be distributed to the parties in an order inverse to that in which their liabilities accrued.

Article V – PREMIUM REPORTS AND REMITTANCES

Premium reports and reinsurance premiums or other amounts due either party shall be remitted by a method mutually agreed between the Company and the Reinsurer.

Article VI – ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

The Reinsurer shall not be relieved of liability because of an error or accidental omission of the Company in reporting any claim or loss or any business reinsured under this Agreement, provided that the error or omission is rectified promptly after discovery.

The Reinsurer shall be obligated only for the return of the premium paid for business reported but not reinsured under this Agreement.

Article VII – SPECIAL ACCEPTANCES

Business not within the terms of this Agreement may be submitted to the Reinsurer for special acceptance and, if accepted by the Reinsurer, shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement except as modified by the special acceptance.

Article VIII – RESERVES AND TAXES

The Reinsurer shall maintain the required reserves as to the Reinsurer’s portion of unearned premium, if any, claims, losses, and Adjustment Expense.

In consideration of the terms under which this Agreement is issued, the Company shall not claim a deduction in respect of the premium hereon when making tax returns, other than income or profits tax returns, to any state or territory of the United States of America or the District of Columbia.

The premium hereon is not subject to Federal Excise Tax, nor is the Reinsurer subject to any withholding under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”). Upon the Company’s request, the Reinsurer shall promptly provide the Company with documentation confirming that the Reinsurer is not subject to any withholding under FATCA.

Article IX – OFFSET

The Company or the Reinsurer may offset any balance, whether on account of premium, commission, claims or losses, Adjustment Expense, salvage, or otherwise, due from one party to the other under this Agreement or under any other agreement heretofore or hereafter entered into between the Company and the Reinsurer.

Article X – INSPECTION OF 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 Agreement during regular business hours after giving 30 days’ prior notice. This right shall be exercisable during the term of this Agreement or after the expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding 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)

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.

 

(c)

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 withhold or 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.

Amounts recoverable by the Company and its affiliates, if any, under all reinsurance which the Company and its affiliates, if any, purchase, including but not limited to this reinsurance, all other treaty reinsurance and all facultative reinsurance, for any such “insured loss”,

that the information is not material and is of the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

 

The party demanding arbitration shall communicate its demand for arbitration to the other party by registered or certified mail, identifying the nature of the dispute and the name of its arbitrator, and the other party shall then be bound to name its arbitrator within 30 days after receipt of the demand.

Failure or refusal of the other party to so name its arbitrator shall empower the demanding party to name the second arbitrator. If the first two arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third arbitrator after the second arbitrator is named, each arbitrator shall name three candidates, two of whom shall be declined by the other arbitrator, and the choice shall be made between the two remaining candidates by drawing lots. The arbitrators shall be disinterested and shall be active or retired officers of property or casualty insurance or reinsurance companies.

The arbitrators shall adopt their own rules and procedures and are relieved from judicial formalities.

The decision of the majority of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties.

Each party shall bear the cost of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the third arbitrator and other costs of the arbitration. In the event both arbitrators are chosen by one party, the fees of all arbitrators shall be equally divided between the parties.

The arbitration shall be held at the times and places agreed upon by the arbitrators.

Article XIV – INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY

When more than one company is named as a party to this Agreement, this Article shall apply severally to each such company.

In the event of a conflict between any provisions of this Article and the laws of the Company’s domiciliary state, this Article shall be automatically amended to conform fully to such laws.

In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance proceeds will be paid to the Company or the liquidator, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the claim allowed in the insolvency proceeding without diminution by reason of the inability of the Company to pay all or part of the claim, except where this Agreement, or other written agreement, specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of insolvency.

The Reinsurer shall be given written notice of the pendency of each claim against the Company on the policy(ies) reinsured hereunder within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. The Reinsurer shall have the right to investigate each such claim and to interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defenses which it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

  (4)

If the Company’s aggregate limit of FHCF reimbursement coverage is exhausted from Loss Events commencing during the term of this Agreement, and the FHCF, as applicable, does not designate the portion of said limit allocable to each Loss Event, the total FHCF reimbursement received shall be allocated to each individual Loss Event in the proportion that the Company’s losses in that Loss Event bear to the Company’s total losses arising out of all Loss Events to which the reimbursement applies.

 

  (5)

For purposes of loss recoveries under this Agreement prior to the final determination of the Company’s retention and limit under the FHCF, FHCF coverage shall be calculated using the Company’s respective “Projected Payout Multiple” under the FHCF. Upon determination of the Company’s retention and limit under the FHCF, losses will be adjusted, recognizing any adjustment to the “Projected Payout Multiple” caused by a change in the Aggregate Mandatory FHCF Premium or any other adjustments as required by statute to determine the final FHCF layer, but disregarding any change due to a decrease in the statutory limit.

 

(b)

Any FHCF reimbursement premiums paid by the Company for FHCF layers that inure to the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to be premiums paid for inuring reinsurance.

 

(c)

Any change to the FHCF resulting from the 2024 Session of the Florida Legislature or rating methodology, if it produces a change in FHCF structure of greater than 10% of FHCF cover provided, may, at the Company’s option, result in the restructuring and re-rating of this Agreement at terms to be mutually agreed.
