Insurance Contracts To the extent that any Welfare Plan is funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop loss contract, the Parties shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate such insurance contracts for SpinCo or Parent as applicable (except to the extent that changes are required under applicable Law or filings by the respective insurers) and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Parent and SpinCo for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such insurance contracts, pricing discounts, or other preferential terms for the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges, or administrative fees that such Party may incur pursuant to this Section 7.06.
Reinsurance The Contractor shall purchase reinsurance from a commercial reinsurer and shall establish reinsurance agreements meeting the requirements listed below. The Contractor shall submit new policies, renewals or amendments to OMPP for review and approval at least one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days before becoming effective. Agreements and Coverage The attachment point shall be equal to or less than $200,000 and shall apply to all services, unless otherwise approved by OMPP. The Contractor electing to establish commercial reinsurance agreements with an attachment point greater than $200,000 must provide a justification in its proposal or submit justification to OMPP in writing at least one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days prior to the policy renewal date or date of the proposed change. The Contractor must receive approval from OMPP before changing the attachment point. The Contractor’s co-insurance responsibilities above the attachment point shall be no greater than twenty percent (20%). Reinsurance agreements shall transfer risk from the Contractor to the reinsurer. The reinsurer's payment to the Contractor shall depend on and vary directly with the amount and timing of claims settled under the reinsured contract. Contractual features that delay timely reimbursement are not acceptable. The Contractor shall maintain a plan acceptable to the IDOI commissioner for continuation of benefits in the event of receivership. The Contractor must finance the greater of $1,000,000 or total projected costs as calculated by the form set forth in 760 IAC 1-70-8. The Contractor shall obtain continuation of coverage insurance (insolvency insurance) to continue plan benefits for members until the end of the period for which premiums have been paid. This coverage shall extend to members in acute care hospitals or nursing facility settings when the Contractor’s insolvency occurs during the member’s inpatient stay. The Contractor shall continue to reimburse for its member’s care under those circumstances (i.e., inpatient stays) until the member is discharged from the acute care setting or nursing facility. Requirements for Reinsurance Companies The Contractor shall submit documentation that the reinsurer follows the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Reinsurance Accounting Standards. The Contractor shall be required to obtain reinsurance from insurance organizations that have Standard and Poor's claims-paying ability ratings of "AA" or higher and a Xxxxx’x bond rating of “A1” or higher, unless otherwise approved by OMPP. Subcontractors Subcontractors’ reinsurance coverage requirements must be clearly defined in the reinsurance agreement. Subcontractors should be encouraged to obtain their own stop-loss coverage with the above-mentioned terms. If subcontractors do not obtain reinsurance on their own, the Contractor is required to forward appropriate recoveries from stop-loss coverage to applicable subcontractors.
Reinsurance Agreements (a) Section 3.15(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, complete and correct list of all of the reinsurance, coinsurance or retrocession treaties, agreements, slips, binders, cover notes or other arrangements of any kind to which any of the Insurance Subsidiaries is a party and under which any of the Transferred Subsidiaries cede or assume any insurance business or under which any business otherwise remains reinsured as of the date of this Agreement and any related letters of credit, reinsurance trusts or other collateral arrangements (collectively, the “Reinsurance Agreements”).

REINSURANCE COVERAGE Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to insurance issued by Ceding Company on the Plans of Insurance shown in Schedule A. Such Plans of Insurance shall be reinsured with the Reinsurer on an automatic basis, subject to the requirements set forth in Section A below. The specifications for all reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule A.
A.

2. The individual risk must be underwritten according to the Ceding Company's standard underwriting practices and guidelines. This individual risk will be determined to be a true Table 1,2,3 or 4 based on the Ceding Company's normal underwriting guidelines and will be issued as a Standard Risk.
3. Any risk offered on a facultative basis by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer or any other company will not qualify for automatic reinsurance under this Agreement for the same risk and same life.
4. The minimum issue age on any risk will be age 5 and the maximum issue age on any risk will be age 75.
B. Basis of Reinsurance Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on the basis as stated in Schedule B.

Reinsurer’s Liability The Reinsurer’s liability with respect to the Reinsured Risks will terminate on the earliest of: (i) the date the Company’s liability with respect to the Reinsured Risks is terminated and all amounts due the Company from the Reinsurer with respect to such Reinsured Risks are paid to the Company by or on behalf of the Reinsurer; and (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated upon the written agreement of the parties.
Reinsurance Premiums A. The total Reinsurance Premium for the business ceded hereunder is the sum of the GMDB Reinsurance Premium, the EPB Reinsurance Premium and the GMIB Reinsurance Premium, each of which is defined separately in this article.
B. The Reinsurance Premium rates and structure described above are subject to change in accordance with the criteria described in Article XV. GMDB AND EPB ------------
C. The total GMDB Reinsurance Premium for the business ceded hereunder is the sum of the GMDB Reinsurance Premium and the EPB Reinsurance Premium, each of which is defined separately in this article. GMDB CESSION PREMIUM --------------------
D. The GMDB Reinsurance Premium is expressed in terms of basis points and is defined in Exhibit II.
E. The Cedent shall calculate, for each premium class, the Reinsurer's Percentage of the greater of the average aggregate GMDB value and the average aggregate account value for the reporting month. This value shall be applied to the GMDB Cession Premium rates per premium class on a 1/12th basis. EPB CESSION PREMIUM -------------------
F. The EPB Reinsurance Premium is an asset-based premium rate, expressed in terms of basis points, and is defined in Exhibit II.
G. The Cedent shall calculate, for each premium class, the Reinsurer's Percentage of the average aggregate account value for the reporting month. This value shall be applied to the annualized EPB reinsurance premium rates per premium class on a 1/12th basis. The total EPB Cession Premium due for the month is the sum of the premiums calculated for each premium class. SPOUSAL CONTINUANCES --------------------
H. Spousal continuances will be covered under this Agreement to the extent that the surviving spouse satisfies the issue age restrictions and benefit limitations, as described in Schedule A, at time of continuance, and shall be deemed to be terminations followed by subsequent new issues for purposes of calculating Reinsurance Premiums. The new reinsurance premium rate applied shall be based off the attained age of the surviving spouse at the time of election of spousal continuance. After the termination of this Agreement for new cessions, a spousal continuation of a Reinsured Contract may be ceded to this Agreement in accordance with the procedure set forth in Article I, Paragraph D. GMIB ----
I. The GMIB cession premium ("GMIB Reinsurance Premium") is an asset-based premium rate, expressed in terms of basis points, as set forth in Exhibit II, and shall be calculated on an aggregate basis.

FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE 3.1 The Ceding Company may submit any application on a plan or rider identified in Exhibit B − Plans Covered and Binding Limits, to the Reinsurer (or any other reinsurer) for its consideration on a facultative basis. The Ceding Company will apply for reinsurance on a facultative basis by sending to the Reinsurer an Application for Facultative Reinsurance, providing information similar to the example outlined in Exhibit F – Application for Facultative Reinsurance. Accompanying this application will be copies of all underwriting evidence that is available for risk assessment including, but not limited to, copies of the application for insurance, medical examiners' reports, attending physicians' statements, inspection reports, and any other information bearing on the insurability of the risk. The Ceding Company also will notify the Reinsurer of any outstanding underwriting requirements at the time of the facultative submission. Any subsequent information received by the Ceding Company that is pertinent to the risk assessment will be immediately transmitted to the Reinsurer. After consideration of the application for facultative reinsurance and related information, the Reinsurer will promptly inform the Ceding Company of its underwriting decision. The Reinsurer's offer will expire at the end of one hundred twenty (120) days, unless otherwise specified by the Reinsurer in its offer. If the Ceding Company accepts the Reinsurer's offer, then the Ceding Company will note its acceptance in its underwriting file and include the policy on the next billing statement issued to the Reinsurer following policy activation. Reinsurer agrees the reinsurance offer will be deemed accepted by Ceding Company at the point in time Ceding Company makes such notation in its underwriting file in accordance with the Ceding Company's standard facultative placement procedures. Changes in plan, contract number, policyowner, or amount of coverage may be made subsequently by the Ceding Company without obtaining another offer from the Reinsurer provided such changes are within the amount approved by the Reinsurer and do not change the underlying risk. Coverage for any Automatic Increasing Benefit Rider shall be provided in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding any notations on the offer that say "no benefits", "benefits excluded", or words of similar import. The relevant terms and conditions of the Agreement will apply to those facultative offers made by the Reinsurer which are accepted by the Ceding Company. Nothing herein prevents the Ceding Company from retaining the risk on a policy that was facultatively shopped or placing the policy with a different facultative reinsurer.
Payment of Reinsurance Premiums For automatic and facultative reinsurance, following the close of each calendar month, the Ceding Company will send the Reinsurer a statement and a listing of new business, changes and terminations. If a net reinsurance premium balance is payable to the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company will forward this balance within (60) sixty days after the close of each month. If a net reinsurance premium balance is payable to the Ceding Company, the balance due will be subtracted from the reinsurance premium payable by Ceding Company for the current month. The Reinsurer shall pay any remaining balance due the Ceding Company sixty days after the Ceding Company submits the statement.
Basis of Reinsurance Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on the Yearly Renewable Term basis on the portion of each policy that is reinsured as described in Schedule A.
Automatic Reinsurance For automatic reinsurance, the Reinsurer's liability will commence at the same time as the Ceding Company's liability, including liability under any conditional receipt or temporary insurance provision.
