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.
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.
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.
Plan of Reinsurance A. Reinsurance of Life risks shall be on the risk premium basis. The risk amount on the policy reinsured shall be calculated monthly and shall be equal to the death benefit less the cash value. At the time of issue, the Ceding Company shall cede to North American Re a portion of the initial risk amount in excess of its retention. Thereafter, the Ceding Company and North American Re shall keep the same proportionate shares of the risk amount developed each month.
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”). True, complete and correct copies of all of the Reinsurance Agreements have been made available to the Acquiror.

Each Reinsurance Agreement is legal, valid, binding, enforceable against the applicable Insurance Subsidiary which is party and the counterparty thereto and in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, will continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable by the applicable Insurance Subsidiary that is a party thereto and in full force and effect on substantially comparable terms following the Closing (except for the Quota Share Agreement, which will be amended in accordance with Section 5.08(c)), except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity regarding the availability of remedies. Since December 31, 2013, with respect to any Reinsurance Agreement, (i) no Insurance Subsidiary has received any written notice from any applicable reinsurer that any amount of reinsurance ceded by any of the Insurance Subsidiaries will be uncollectible or otherwise defaulted upon; (ii) there is no pending or to the Knowledge of the Parent, threatened dispute between any of the Insurance Subsidiaries and any reinsurer under any Reinsurance Agreement; (iii) each Insurance Subsidiary, as applicable, is entitled under the laws of its domiciliary jurisdiction or any other applicable Law to take credit in accordance with SAP on its Statutory Statements for all reinsurance and retrocessions ceded by it pursuant to any Reinsurance Agreement for which such Insurance Subsidiary is taking credit on its Statutory Statements, and all such amounts have been properly recorded in its books and records of account and are properly reflected in its Statutory Statements; (iv) to the Knowledge of the Parent there has been no separate written or oral agreement between such Insurance Subsidiary and the assuming reinsurer that is intended to, and would, in fact, reduce, limit or mitigate any loss to the parties under any such Reinsurance Agreement; and (v) each such Reinsurance Agreement satisfies the requisite risk transfer criteria necessary to obtain reinsurance accounting treatment under SAP.
