Article 6 - Definitions
The following terms, wherever used in this Contract, will have the meanings set forth herein, and will be deemed to refer to the singular, plural, or otherwise inflected forms of such terms, as the context requires:
|
|
A.
|
"Loss" will mean the amount of any benefit, settlement, award, or judgment, including any claim interest, paid by the Company or for which the Company has become liable to pay including 100% of any claims related extra contractual obligations. All recoveries and subrogations, which are actually recovered, and reinsurance inuring to the benefit of this Contract (whether recovered or not), will be deducted from the amount of the loss. All recoveries or payments recovered or received
|
subsequent to any settlement hereunder will be applied as if received prior to the aforesaid settlement and all necessary adjustments will be made by the parties hereto. There will be no recovery hereunder for loss from the Reinsurers without the loss first exceeding $750,000 each life,
each accident. Loss will not include loss expense.
|
|
B.
|
"Loss expense" will mean all expenses incurred by the Company in the investigation, appraisal, adjustment, litigation and/or defense of claims under policies reinsured hereunder, including court costs, interest accrued prior to final judgment if included as part of expense on reinsured policies, and interest accrued after final judgment, but excluding internal office expenses, salaries, per diem, and other remuneration of regular Company employees. Such loss expense, where incurred in connection with claims involving this reinsurance will be apportioned between the Company and the Reinsurers in proportion to their respective interests as finally determined in addition to the retention and limit of this Contract. However, in the event a verdict or judgment is reduced by an appeal or a settlement, subsequent to the entry of the judgment, resulting in an ultimate saving on such verdict
|
or judgment, or a judgment is reversed outright, the loss expense incurred in securing such final reduction or reversal will be prorated between the Reinsurers and the Company in the proportion that each benefits from such reduction or reversal, and the expenses incurred up to the time of the
original verdict or judgment will be prorated in proportion to each party's interest in such verdict or judgment.
|
|
C.
|
"Net earned premium" will mean the gross earned premium of the Company for the classes of business reinsured hereunder as specified in the Coverage Article, less the earned portion of premium paid for reinsurance that inures to the benefit of this Contract.
|
|
|
D.
|
"Policies" will mean all policies, binders, contracts, or agreements of insurance or reinsurance, whether written or oral.

Article 7 - Retention and Limit
|
|
A.
|
No claim will be made hereunder unless the Company has first sustained a loss of $750,000 each life, each accident. The Reinsurers will then indemnify the Company for the amount of loss in excess of $750,000 each life, each accident. The limit of liability to the Reinsurers will not exceed
|
|
|
$5,250,000 each life, each accident, plus their proportionate share of loss expense. Should any loss involve this Contract, the obligation of the Reinsurers will be reinstated immediately and
|
|
|
automatically as to any subsequent loss for the full amount of reinsurance as set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annual aggregate limit of liability of the Reinsurers will be
|
$60,000,000 for the term of this Contract, plus their proportionate shares of loss expense. In the
event of a claim involving a Business Travel Accident policy and an Accidental Death and Dismemberment policy, the Business Travel Accident policy will be used first to satisfy the retention under this Contract.
|
|
B.
|
There will be an aggregating specific deductible initially equaling $3,000,000 for the term of this Contract. Within 90 days following the expiration of this Contract, the Company will adjust the aggregating specific deductible against a rate of 1.50% of its net earned premium and will advise the Reinsurers of the resulting aggregating specific deductible amount. Should said adjustment exceed the initial aggregating specific deductible of $3,000,000 and any reinsurance reimbursements be received from the Reinsurers during the term of this Contract, the Company will refund to the Reinsurers the calculated aggregating specific deductible less the initial aggregating specific deductible of $3,000,000 at the time it makes the report to the Reinsurers.
|
Article 8 - Net Retained Liability
This Contract will apply only to that portion of any insurance that the Company retains net for its own account, and such portion will be used in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder as well as the amount in excess of which this Contract attaches; however, recovery from any underlying reinsurance will inure to the sole benefit of the Company and will be disregarded for the purposes of this Contract. The amount of the Reinsurers' liability hereunder with respect to any loss will not be increased by the inability of the Company to collect from any other reinsurers any amounts that may have become due from them, whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such rElinsurers or otherwise.
Article 9 - Rate and Premium
|
|
A.
|
For the term of this Contract, there will be a minimum and deposit premium hereon of $4,200,000, payable in equal quarterly installments of $1,050,000 on January 1, 2015, April 1, 2015,
|
July 1, 2015, and October 1, 2015.
B. At Contract expiration, the Company will adjust the minimum and deposit premium against a rate of
2.35% of its net earned premium.
Article 10 - Extra Contractual Obligations
|
|
A.
|
This Contract will cover any losses arising from claims related extra contractual obligations awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, if subject to all the other terms of this Contract, the Company through written communication, in advance of any claims related extra contractual obligations, notifies the Reinsurers of such loss that may involve extra contractual obligations. Recognizing the urgent nature of these communications, the Reinsurers agree to respond within 10 business days of receipt of such notice. If a Reinsurer concurs in writing to the actions or decisions proposed by the Company, then that Reinsurer will share in any claims related extra contractual obligations in proportion to the Reinsurer's interest in the underlying claim. If a Reinsurer does not respond within
|
10 business days, it will be deemed to have concurred with the Company's action or decision. If a Reinsurer does not concur with the Company on the proposed action, said Reinsurer will remit its share of the loss and with that payment the Reinsurer will be released from its liability as respects

that claim. The amount of loss is defined as the amount of benefit claimed and related loss expense as of the date of the request of the consultation.
|
|
B.
|
"Extra contractual obligations" as used in this Contract will mean those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract, which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, the following: failure to settle within the policy limit, by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud, or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement, in the preparation of the defense, in the trial of any action against the insured, or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.
|
|
|
C.
|
There will be no recovery hereunder for an extra contractual obligation loss that has been incurred due to fraud committed by a member of the board of directors, an officer, an agent, employee, or a corporate officer of the Company, acting individually, collectively, or in collusion with a member of the board of directors, a corporate officer, or a partner of any other corporation, partnership, or organization involved in the defense or settlement of a claim on behalf of the Company.
|
|
|
D.
|
The date on which any extra contractual obligation is incurred by the Company will be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original loss. Nothing in this Article will be construed to create a separate or distinct loss apart from the original covered loss that gave rise to the extra contractual obligations discussed in the preceding paragraphs. In no event will the total liability of the Reinsurers exceed their applicable limit of liability as set forth in the Retention and Limit Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no recovery hereunder for extra contractual obligations from the Reinsurers without the loss first exceeding $750,000.
|
|
|
E.
|
Savings Clause (Applicable only if the Reinsurer is domiciled in the State of New York): In no event shall coverage be provided to the extent that such coverage is not permitted under New York law.
|
Article 11 - Reports and Remittances
As soon as possible following the expiration of this Contract, the Company will furnish the Reinsurers with a report of reinsurance premium due them for that period. Such report will show and properly segregate the Company's premium to which the reinsurance rate applies and contain such other information as may be required by the Reinsurers for completion of their National Association of Insurance Commissioners interim and/or annual statements. The premium due the Reinsurers will be balanced against the
minimum and deposit premium set forth in the Rate and Premium Article, and any balance shown to be
due the Reinsurers will be paid within 90 days following the close of the annual period.
Article 12 - Reserves and Funding
(A Reinsurer will provide funding under the terms of this Article only if the Company will be denied statutory credit for reinsurance ceded to that Reinsurer pursuant to the credit for reinsurance statutes or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction. In the event any of the provisions of this Article conflict with or otherwise fail to satisfy the requirements of the appropriate credit for reinsurance statutes or regulations, this Article will be deemed amended to conform to the appropriate statutes or regulations; the intent of this Article being that the Company will be permitted to realize full credit for the reinsurance ceded to the Reinsurers under this Contract.)
|
|
A.
|
As regards policies issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract, the Company agrees that, when it files with the applicable jurisdiction(s) or sets up on its books reserves for policies covered hereunder, which it is required by law to set up, it will forward to the Reinsurers a statement showing the proportion of such reserves applicable to them. For purposes of this Article, "reserves" will consist of:
|
1. Loss and benefits and loss expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the
Reinsurers;
2. Loss and loss expense reported and outstanding;

|
3. An allowance for incurred but not reported losses as carried by the Company on its books; and

The Reinsurers hereby agree that they will fund such reserves by:
1. Cash advances;
2. Trust agreements;
3. Escrow accounts for the benefit of the Company;
4. Letters of credit;
or a combination thereof. The Reinsurers will have the option of determining the method of funding referred to above, provided it is acceptable to the Company and each applicable regulatory authority.
|
|
B.
|
If a Reinsurer's choice of funding is or includes a letter of credit, it will apply for and secure delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit, dated on or before December
|
31 of the year in which the request is made, issued by a member of the Federal Reserve System or any other bank approved for use by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' Securities Valuation Office and the Company, containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company's reserves in an amount equal to the Reinsurer's proportion of such reserves as shown in the statement prepared by the Company.
|
|
C.
|
Any letter of credit will be issued for a period of not less than one year, and will be automatically extended for one year from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 30 days prior to any expiration date the issuing bank notifies the Company by registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to consider the letter of credit extended for any additional period. An issuing bank, not a member of the Federal Reserve System or not chartered in the state of domicile of the Company,
|
will provide 60 days notice to the Company prior to any expiration in the event of nonextension.
|
|
D.
|
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Contract, the Company or its court-appointed successor in interest may draw upon and apply any amounts which it may draw against such letter of credit or trust agreement (pursuant to the terms of the agreement under which the letter of credit or trust agreement is held), or any other method of funding that may apply, at any time without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or of any Reinsurer for one or more of the following purposes only:
|
|
|
1.
|
To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer's share of unearned premium (if applicable) on policies reinsured hereunder on account of cancellations of such policies.
|
|
|
2.
|

|
|
|
4.
|
In the event of nonextension of the letter of credit as provided for above, to establish deposit of the Reinsurer's share of reserves under this Contract. Such cash deposit will be held in an interest-bearing account separate from the Company's other assets, and interest thereon will accrue to the benefit of the Reinsurer.
|
5. To pay the Reinsurer's share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under this
Contract.

The issuing bank will have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company.
|
|
|
F.
|
At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed or as required by any regulatory authority, the Company will prepare, for the sole purpose of amending the funding called for in this Article, a specific statement of the Reinsurers' share of reserves under this Contract. If the statement shows that the Reinsurers' share of such reserves exceeds the balance of funding as of the statement date, the Reinsurers will, within 30 days after receipt of notice of such excess, make an adjustment increasing the amount of such funding by the amount of such difference. If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurers' share of reserves is less than the balance of funding as of the statement date, the Company will, within 30 days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurers release such excess by making the appropriate adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as respects funding by trust agreement, only those sums in excess of 102% of the actual amount of the Reinsurer's share of the reserves will be subject to release, and any increase in the amount of funding by the Reinsurer must bring the total amount of funding to an amount equal to 102% of the actual amount of the Reinsurer's share of the reserves.
|
Article 13 - Loss Notices and Settlements
|
|
A.
|
The Company will advise the Reinsurers promptly of all losses that, in the opinion of the Company, may involve the Reinsurers under this Contract and of all subsequent developments pertaining thereto that may materially affect the Reinsurers as well. Inadvertent omission in dispatching the aforementioned notices will in no way affect the obligation of the Reinsurers under this Contract, provided the Company informs the Reinsurers of such omission promptly upon discovery.
|
|
|
B.
|
The Company will have the right to settle all claims under its policies. The settlements, provided they are within the terms of this Contract, will be unconditionally binding on the Reinsurers in proportion to their participation in this Contract. When so requested, however, the Company will afford the Reinsurers, at the Reinsurers' own expense, an opportunity to be associated with the Company in the defense of any claim, suit, or proceeding involving this Contract, and the Company and the Reinsurers will cooperate in every respect in such defense. Amounts due the Company hereunder in the settlement of loss and loss expense will be payable by the Reinsurers immediately upon being furnished by the Company with reasonable evidence of the amount paid or to be paid in excess of the Company's retention as set forth in the Retention and Limit Article hereof.
|
Article 14 - Delays, Errors, or Omissions
Any inadvertent delay, error, or omission will not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such delay, error, or omission had not been made, providing any error or omission will be rectified upon discovery.
Article 15- Entire Agreement/Amendments
|
|
This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. This Contract may be altered or amended in any of its terms and conditions by mutual consent of the Company and the Reinsurers by addenda hereto; such addenda will then constitute a part of this Contract.
|
Article 16- Access To Records

Article 18 - Insolvency
(This Article will apply severally to each reinsured company referenced within the definition of "Company" in the Preamble to this Contract. Further, this Article and the laws of the domiciliary state will 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 state of any company intended to be covered hereunder, that domiciliary state's laws will prevail.)
|
|
A.
|
In the event of a receivership, the reinsurance recoverables due under this Contract will be payable by the Reinsurers directly to the receiver, after reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against the insolvent Company by any court of competent jurisdiction having authority to allow such claims or allowed by the receiver as a result of the conclusion of the claim
|
|
|
filing, approval, and appeal process before the receiver. Regardless of any provision in this Contract or other agreement to the contrary, payment will be made without diminution because of such insolvency or because the receiver has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims.
|
|
|
B.
|
The receiver of the Company will give or arrange to give to the Reinsurers, written notice of the pendency of a claim against the Company, within a reasonable period of time after the initiation of the receivership. Failure to give such notice will not excuse the obligation of the Reinsurers unless they are substantially prejudiced thereby. The Reinsurers may interpose, at their own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses which they may deem available to the Company or its receiver. The reasonable expense thus incurred by the Reinsurers will be payable, subject to court approval, out of the estate of the insolvent Company as part of the expense of the receivership to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company in receivership, solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurers.
|
|
|
C.
|
Payments by the Reinsurers will be made directly to the receiver of the Company except where this Contract or the contract of insurance specifically provides another payee for such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company.

Article 20 - Arbitration
|
|
A.
|
Any dispute (whether during the currency of this Contract or after expiration or termination of this Contract) between the Company and the Reinsurer arising out of or in connection with this Contract, including its formation or actual validity, will be submitted to the decision of two arbitrators and an umpire meeting at a site in Newark, New Jersey unless some other site is mutually agreed by the parties. The arbitrators and umpire will be impartial and disinterested, active or former executive officers of life or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd's, London.
|
|
|
B.
|
To the extent not otherwise mutually agreed or provided for in this Article, the procedures and rules applicable to arbitration under the laws of New Jersey, as from time to time set forth, will govern the procedures of the arbitration. All time limitations stated in this Article may be amended by mutual consent of the parties, and will be amended automatically to the extent made necessary by any circumstances beyond the control of the parties.
|
|
|
C.
|
All notices in connection with the arbitration will be in writing and sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. The claimant's notice demanding arbitration will reference this Article, will state in particulars all issues to be resolved in its view, and will name the arbitrator appointed by it. Within 30 days of receipt of the claimant's notice, the respondent will notify the claimant of any additional issues to be resolved in the arbitration and of the name of its appointed arbitrator.
|
|
|
D.
|
If the respondent fails to appoint its arbitrator within 30 days after having received the claimant's notice demanding arbitration, the claimant is authorized to and will appoint the second arbitrator and will notify the respondent of the name of the arbitrator appointed for it. The two arbitrators will appoint an umpire before instituting the hearing. If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an umpire within 30 days after notification of the appointment of the second arbitrator, within 10 days thereafter the claimant will apply to the American Arbitration Association to appoint an umpire. Notwithstanding the appointment of the umpire by the American Arbitration Association, the arbitration proceedings will not be governed by the American Arbitration Association's commercial arbitration rules, but will be governed by the rules as set out in this Article. The arbitrators will notify the claimant and the respondent of the umpire's identity within 10 days of the umpire's appointment.
|
|
|
E.
|
The arbitration hearing will commence within 60 days of the appointment of the umpire. Within 30 days of the date of notice of appointment of the umpire, the claimant and respondent will each submit initial briefs to the board outlining the issues in dispute and the basis and reasons for their respective positions. Within 10 days after filing of the initial briefs the claimant and the respondent
|
may submit reply briefs. Initial and reply briefs may be amended by the submitting party at any time,
but not later than 10 days prior to the date of commencement of the arbitration hearing. Reasonable responses will be allowed at the hearing to new material contained in any amendments filed to the briefs but not previously addressed.
|
|
F.
|
Subject to customary and recognized legal rules of privilege, each party will have the obligation to produce as witnesses to the arbitration such of its employees or those of its affiliates as the other party may request, and any documents that the other party may request, providing always that those witnesses and documents be relevant to the issues before the arbitration and provided further that the parties may mutually agree as to further discovery prior to the arbitration. The arbitrators and umpire may, at their discretion, request and consider underwriting and placement information provided by the Company to the Reinsurer, as well as any correspondence exchanged by the
|
parties that is related to this Contract. Upon the petition of either the claimant or the respondent, the umpire will be the final judge of rules of privilege and as to relevancy of any witnesses and documents.
|
|
G.
|
The arbitrators and umpire will conduct the hearing and make its award with regard to the terms expressed in this Contract, the original intentions of the parties to the extent reasonably ascertainable, and the custom and usage of the accident and health insurance and reinsurance business. At the hearing, evidence will be allowed but the formal rules of evidence will not apply; cross-examination and rebuttal will be allowed. Within 20 days of the close of the hearing, at their

own election or at the request of the arbitrators and umpire, the claimant and the respondent may submit post-hearing briefs to be considered by the board before making its decision.
|
|
H.
|
The arbitrators and umpire will make its award within 30 days following the close of the hearing or the submission of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later. The decision by the majority of the arbitrators and umpire will be in writing and will be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrators and umpire are empowered to grant interim relief, as it may deem appropriate. The board, however, may not award any exemplary or punitive damages. Either the claimant or the respondent may
|
apply to the United States District Court in the Company's state of domicile for an order confirming the award; a judgment of such court will thereupon be entered on the award. If such an order is issued, the party against whom confirmation is sought will pay the attorneys' fees and court costs the applying party incurs in pursuing the order.
|
|
I.
|
The claimant and the respondent will each bear the expense of the arbitrator appointed by or for it and will jointly and equally bear the expense of the umpire and any stenographer requested. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceedings will be allocated by the board.

Article 21 - Severability
If any provision of this Contract will be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws, regulations or public policy of any state, such provision will be considered void in such state, but this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Contract or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Article 24 - Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
|
|
A.
|
To the extent any Reinsurer is subject to the deduction and withholding of premium payable hereon as set forth in the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Sections 1471-1474 of the Internal Revenue Code), said Reinsurer shall allow such deduction and withholding from the premium payable under this Contract.
|
|
|
B.
|
In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the return premium will be determined and paid in full without regard to any amounts deducted or withheld under paragraph A. of this Article. In the event the Company or its agent recovers such premium deductions and withholdings on the return premium from the United States Government, the Company or its agent will reimburse the Reinsurer for such amounts.
|
Article 25 - Currency
All limits and retentions hereunder are expressed in United States currency, and all payments hereunder will be made in that currency. For the purposes of this Contract, amounts paid or received by the Company in currencies other than United States currency will be converted into United States dollars at the actual rates of exchange at which they are entered in the Company's books.
Article 26 - Service of Suit
(This Article applies to Reinsurers domiciled outside the United States of America and/or unauthorized in any state, territory, or district of the United States of America that has jurisdiction over the Company and in which a subject suit has been instituted. This Article is not intended to conflict with or override the parties' obligation to arbitrate their disputes in accordance with the Arbitration Article.)
|
|
A.
|
In the event of the failure of any Reinsurer hereon to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, such Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer's right 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 Reinsurer, once the appropriate court is accepted by the Reinsurer or is determined by removal, transfer, or otherwise, as provided for above, will comply with all requirements necessary to give said court jurisdiction. In any suit instituted against it upon this Contract, the Reinsurer will abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal.
|
|
|
B.
|
The Reinsurer hereby designates the party named in its Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, or his or her successor or successors in office, for the State of New Jersey, 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.

The Company and the Reinsurers each represent that to the best of their knowledge and belief they are, and will use their best efforts to continue to be, in substantial compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations, and judicial and administrative orders applicable to the business reinsured under this Contract (collectively, the "Law"). This includes the maintenance of an effective anti-money laundering policy to the extent the Company is required to have such a policy in place.

Reinsurers, will include requirements enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Asset Control.

parties discover a reinsurance payment has been made in violation of the Law, such party will notify the other parties and all parties will cooperate in order to take all necessary corrective actions. The Company will return the reinsurance payment to the Reinsurers to the extent, and at such time, as permitted by Law.
Article 28 - Agency
For purposes of sending and receiving notices and payments required by this Contract, the reinsured company that is set forth first in the definition of "Company" in the Preamble to this Contract will be deemed the agent of all other reinsured companies referenced in the Preamble.

{Re)insurers
Liability {Re)insurers liability several and not joint
|
|
The liability of a (re)insurer under this contract is several and not joint with other (re)insurers party to this contract. A (re)insurer is liable only for the proportion of liability it has underwritten. A (re)insurer is not jointly liable for the proportion of liability underwritten by any other (re)insurer. Nor is a (re)insurer otherwise responsible for any liability of any other (re)insurer that may underwrite this contract.
|
The proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by a (re)insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd's syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together) is shown next to its stamp. This is subject always to the provision concerning "signing" below.
In the case of a Lloyd's syndicate, each member of the syndicate (rather than the syndicate itself) is a (re)insurer. Each member has underwritten a proportion of the total shown for the syndicate (that total itself being the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). The liability of each member of the syndicate is several and not joint with other members. A member is liable only for that member's proportion. A member is
not jointly liable for any other member's proportion. Nor is any member otherwise responsible for any liability of any other (re)insurer that may underwrite this contract. The business address of each member is Lloyd's, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. The identity of each member of a Lloyd's syndicate and their respective proportion may be obtained by writing to Market Services, Lloyd's, at the above address.
Proportion of liability
Unless there is "signing" (see below), the proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by each (re)insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd's syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together) is shown next to its stamp and is referred to as its "written line".
|
|
Where this contract permits, written lines, or certain written lines, may be adjusted ("signed"). In that case a schedule is to be appended to this contract to show the definitive proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by
|
each (re)insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd's syndicate, the total of the
proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). A definitive proportion (or, in the case of a Lloyd's syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of a Lloyd's syndicate taken together) is referred to as a "signed line". The signed lines shown in the schedule will prevail over the written lines unless a proven error in calculation has occurred.
|
|
Although reference is made at various points in this clause to "this contract" in the singular, where the circumstances so require this should be read as a reference to contracts in the plural.

|
|
Provisions
|
In the event that the written lines hereon exceed 100% of the order, any lines written "to stand" will be allocated in full and all other lines will be signed down
|
in equal proportions so that the aggregate signed lines are equal to 100% of the order without further agreement of any of the Reinsurers.
However:
|
|
a)
|
In the event that the placement order is not completed by the commencement date of this Contract then all lines written by that date will be signed in full;
|
|
|
b)
|
The Reinsured may elect for the disproportionate signing of Reinsurers lines, without further specific agreement of Reinsurers, providing that any such variation is made prior to the commencement date of the period of this Contract, and that lines written "to stand" may not be varied without the documented agreement of those Reinsurers;
|
|
|
c)
|
The signed lines resulting from the application of the above provisions can be varied, before or after commencement date of the period of this Contract, by the documented agreement of the Reinsured and all Reinsurers whose lines are to be varied. The variation to this Contract will take effect only when all such Reinsurers have agreed, with the resulting variation in signed lines commencing from the date set out in that agreement.
|
The signed line will be entered on the respective Reinsurer signing page by the
Intermediary and shall be notified to the Reinsurer.
|
|
Written Lines
|
In a co-reinsurance placement, following Reinsurers may, but are not obliged to, follow the premium charged by the Slip Leader.
|
Reinsurers may not seek to guarantee for themselves terms as favourable as those which others subsequently achieve during the placement.
Signing Pages This Contract incorporates the following:
|
|
A Reinsurer signing page, for each Reinsurer participating in this Contract, signature of which binds the Reinsurer and the Reinsured to the terms and conditions of this Contract.
|
Where the Reinsurer provides acceptance of a share by alternative correspondence, this shall constitute their formal signature until superseded by the signing page.
For the purposes of the application of Reinsurer's Liability Clause - LMA3333, each Reinsurer signed line is recorded on the Reinsurer's signing page and not in a separate schedule appended to this Contract.
