Our Services As insurance intermediaries we generally act as the agent of our client. We are subject to the law of agency, which imposes various duties on us. However, in certain circumstances we may act for and owe duties of care to other parties, including the insurer. We will advise you when these circumstances occur, so you will be aware of any possible conflict of interest. We offer a wide range of products and services which may include: • Offering you a single or range of products from which to choose a product that suits your insurance needs; • Advising you on your insurance needs; • Arranging suitable insurance cover with insurers to meet your requirements; • Helping you with any subsequent changes to your insurance you have to make; • Providing all reasonable assistance with any claim you make. In some cases, we act for insurers under a delegated authority agreement and can enter into insurance policies, issue policy documentation and/or handle or settle claims on their behalf. Where we act on behalf of the insurer and not you, we will notify you accordingly and in relation to claims we will advise you of this fact when you notify us of a claim. Notwithstanding this, we endeavour to always act in your best interest. As intermediaries, we offer a wide range of insurance products and have access to many leading insurance companies and the Lloyd’s market. Depending on the type of cover you require and where we have provided advice based on a personal recommendation, we will offer you a policy from either: • a single insurer; • a limited range of insurers; or • a fair analysis that is representative of the insurance market. We will advise you separately as to which of these apply before we arrange your policy and where we have not undertaken a fair analysis of the market, we will provide you with a list of insurers considered. Jensten Retail Consumer Client TOBA Version 1.0 Nov 2021 Policies taken out, amended, or renewed through our online service will be on a non-advised basis. This means sufficient information will be provided for you to make an informed decision about any product purchased online and you should therefore ensure that any policy provides the cover you require and is suitable for your needs. For Motor Vehicle insurance we require customers to pay an additional charge for our claims service – Coversure Claimsline (details are provided in a separate document). This is a “one-stop” service that enables us to assist you with any claim you may incur. The cost of the Coversure Claimsline services will be included in the price quoted to you for the Motor Vehicle insurance and shown separately in your documentation. By purchasing motor insurance from us, you authorise Coversure and its agents to take all necessary actions to handle your claim including dealing with your insurers, third parties and their insurers and other service suppliers on your behalf. For all other policies, including optional additional products and premium finance (if relevant), before the insurance contract is concluded and after we have assessed your demands & needs, we will provide you with advice and make a personal recommendation. This will include sufficient information to enable you to make an informed decision about the policy that we have recommended, together with a quotation which will itemise any fees that are payable in addition to the premium. This documentation will also include a statement of your demands and needs. You should read this carefully as it will explain reasons for making the recommendation we have made.
Administration Services When a medical prescription drug is administered by infusion, the administration of the prescription drug may be covered separately from the prescription drug. See Infusion Therapy - Administration Services in the Summary of Medical Benefits for benefit limits and the amount you pay. Prescription drugs that are self-administered are not covered as a medical benefit but may be covered as a pharmacy benefit. Please see Pharmacy Prescription Drugs and Diabetic Equipment or Supplies – Pharmacy Benefits section above for additional information. For some medical prescription drugs, after the first administration, coverage may be limited to certain locations (for example, a designated outpatient or ambulatory service facility, physician’s office, or your home), provided the location is appropriate based on your medical status. For a list of medical prescription drugs that are subject to this Site of Care Program, visit our website. Preauthorization may be required to determine medical necessity as well as appropriate site of care. If we deny your request for preauthorization, or you disagree with our determination for the appropriate site of care, you can submit a medical appeal. See Appeals in Section 5 for information on how to file a medical appeal.
Agency Service Fee As a condition of employment during the term of this Agreement, every member of the bargaining unit who is not also a member of the Association shall pay or by payroll deduction shall have paid to the said Association an agency service fee that shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the then current rate of dues payable by a member of the said Association; provided, however, that no such payment or deduction shall include any amount that represents a cost not related by the provisions of Section 3 of Article IX of the Rules and Regulations Relating to the Administration of Chapter 150E of the General Laws as such rules and regulations have been promulgated, and as they may be amended from time to time by the Department of Labor Relations (DLR). Such fee so required to be paid shall be payable on or after the thirtieth (30th) day next following the beginning of employment of such member of the bargaining unit or on or after the thirtieth (30th) day next following the effective date of this Agreement, whichever shall be later. Such fee may be paid by payroll deduction if so authorized pursuant to an Agency Service Fee Deduction Authorization; provided, however, that such authorization shall be deemed to have effect only with respect to such sum as is herein provided. Any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, every unit member who shall have failed to fulfill the condition of employment as is herein prescribed shall be subject to immediate dismissal and shall be so dismissed by the Employer with effect no later than the end of the semester during which the Employer shall have acted to dismiss the unit member in accordance with the provisions of this Article; provided, however, that such dismissal shall be effected by notice promptly issued by the Employer or its designee to such unit member after the Association shall have notified the President that such unit member has not fulfilled the condition herein prescribed. The said notice shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall give such unit member fourteen (14) days from the date of its receipt to fulfill the said condition. Within the said fourteen (14) days, the Employer or its designees shall grant such unit member such opportunity to respond to the said notice as the Employer may from time to time prescribe for the purposes of this provision. Whenever such unit member shall not have fulfilled the condition herein prescribed within the said fourteen (14) days, the Employer shall act to dismiss the unit member at its meeting next following the expiration of the said fourteen (14) days; provided, however, that the Employer need not so act if such unit member fulfills the said condition prior to the date of such meeting. The Association shall reimburse the Employer for any expenses incurred as a result of being ordered to reinstate an employee terminated at the request of the Association for not paying the agency fee. The Association shall intervene in and defend any administrative or court litigation with respect to any unit member's refusal or failure to pay the agency service fee, including, but not limited to, actions or claims arising from an employee's termination or dismissal. In such litigation, the Employer shall have no obligation to defend the Association and the Association shall indemnify and hold the Employer harmless from any loss occasioned by such litigation. Any unit member who pays an agency service fee may on request obtain a rebate of part of that unit member’s agency service fee in accordance with General Laws, Chapter 150E, Section 12, and Association procedures.

Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.
Energy Cooperation shall focus on:
(a) renewable energy;
(b) promoting the saving of energy;
(c) applied research relating to networks of databases linking the two Parties' economic and social operators;
(d) backing efforts to modernise and develop energy networks and the interconnection of such networks with Community networks.
