AUTOMATIC AND FACULTATIVE AGREEMENT
1. PARTIES TO AGREEMENT.
This Agreement is solely between REINSURER and CEDING COMPANY. There is no
third party beneficiary to this Agreement. Reinsurance under this
Agreement will not create any right nor legal relationship between
REINSURER and any other person, for example, any insured, policy owner,
agent, beneficiary, or other reinsurer. CEDING COMPANY agrees that it will
not make REINSURER a party to any litigation between any such third party
and CEDING COMPANY. REINSURER and CEDING COMPANY agree that neither shall
use the other's name in any of its sales or marketing transactions.
2. REINSURANCE BASIS.
This Agreement, including the attached Schedules, states the terms and
conditions of automatic and facultative reinsurance that is on a Yearly
Renewable Term basis. This Agreement is applicable only to reinsurance of
policies directly written by CEDING COMPANY. Any policies acquired through
merger of another company, reinsurance, or purchase of another company's
policies are not included under the terms of this Agreement.
3. AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE TERMS.
REINSURER agrees to automatically accept contractual risks on the life
insurance plans, riders, and supplemental benefits shown in Schedule A,
subject to the following requirements:
a. CONVENTIONAL UNDERWRITING.
Automatic reinsurance applies only to insurance applications
underwritten by CEDING COMPANY with conventional underwriting and
issue practices that are consistently applied. Conventional
underwriting and issue practices are those customarily used and
generally accepted by life insurance companies. Some examples of
non-customary underwriting practices that are not accepted for
automatic reinsurance under this Agreement are guaranteed issue, any
form of simplified underwriting, short-form applications, or any
form of non-customary, non-medical underwriting limits. An example
of an unacceptable issue practice is the issuance of a policy that
has contestability or suicide clauses with time limitations that are
shorter than the maximum allowed by state law.
Automatic reinsurance will also be available for policies issued
pursuant to an internal replacement or exchange when issued and
underwritten in accordance with CEDING COMPANY's Underwriting
Guidelines for Internal Replacements which are set forth in Exhibit
I to this Agreement.
1
b. RETENTION.
CEDING COMPANY will retain, and not otherwise reinsure, an amount
equal to its full Automatic Share as shown in Schedule A.
c. AUTOMATIC ACCEPTANCE LIMITS.
On any one life the sum of all amounts inforce and applied for with
CEDING COMPANY, excluding amounts being replaced, shall not exceed
the Automatic Acceptance Limits shown in Schedule A.
d. AUTOMATIC IN FORCE AND APPLIED FOR LIMIT.
On any one life, the total amount of life insurance in force and
applied for with all companies, of which CEDING COMPANY is aware,
cannot exceed the Automatic In Force and Applied For Limit shown in
Schedule A.
e. RESIDENCE.
Each insured must be a resident of the United States or Canada, or
an international client meeting CEDING COMPANY's published
guidelines, at the time of issue.
f. MINIMUM CESSION.
There will be no minimum cession for this Agreement.
g. AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE FOR FACULTATIVE RISKS
For risks that have been facultatively submitted to any reinsurer:
i. If a risk has been submitted facultatively to any reinsurer
less than twenty- four months before the current application,
it is not eligible for automatic reinsurance coverage under
this Agreement.
ii. If the current application has been submitted to any reinsurer
for facultative underwriting, it is not eligible for automatic
reinsurance coverage under this Agreement.
iii. If a risk has been submitted facultatively to any reinsurer
more than twenty- four months before the current application,
the risk will be eligible for automatic reinsurance coverage
under this Agreement, subject to the conditions of this
Section 3.
4. AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE NOTICE PROCEDURE.
After the policy has been paid for and delivered, CEDING COMPANY shall
submit all relevant individual policy information, as defined in Schedule
C, in its next statement to REINSURER.
2
5. FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE.
CEDING COMPANY may apply for facultative reinsurance with REINSURER on a
risk if the automatic reinsurance terms are not met, or if the terms are
met and CEDING COMPANY prefers to apply for facultative reinsurance. The
following items must be submitted to obtain a facultative quote:
a. A form substantially similar to REINSURER's "Application for
Reinsurance' form shown in Schedule D.
b. Copies of the original insurance application, medical examiner's
reports, financial information, and all other papers and information
obtained by CEDING COMPANY regarding the insurability of the risk.
After receipt of CEDING COMPANY's application, REINSURER will promptly
examine the materials and notify CEDING COMPANY either of the terms and
conditions of REINSURER's offer for facultative reinsurance or that no
offer will be made. REINSURER's offer expires 120 days after the offer is
made, unless the written offer specifically states otherwise. If CEDING
COMPANY accepts REINSURER's offer, then CEDING COMPANY will note its
acceptance in its underwriting file and submit all relevant individual
policy information, as defined in Schedule C, in its next statement to
REINSURER.
6. COMMENCEMENT OF REINSURANCE COVERAGE.
Commencement of REINSURER's reinsurance coverage on any policy or
pre-issue risk under this Agreement is described below:
a. AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE.
REINSURER's reinsurance coverage for any policy that is ceded
automatically under this Agreement shall begin and end
simultaneously with CEDING COMPANY's contractual liability for the
policy reinsured, except as provided below in Section 6(c).
b. FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE.
REINSURER's reinsurance coverage for any policy that is ceded
facultatively under this Agreement shall begin when;
i. CEDING COMPANY accepts REINSURER's offer; and
ii. The policy has been issued.
3
c. PRE-ISSUE COVERAGE.
REINSURER will not be liable for benefits paid under CEDING
COMPANY's conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement
unless all the conditions for automatic reinsurance coverage under
Section 3 of this Agreement are met. REINSURER's liability under
CEDING COMPANY's conditional receipt or temporary insurance
agreement is equal to REINSURER's Automatic Reinsurance Share of the
lesser of i. or ii. below:
i. The Automatic Acceptance Limits, defined in Schedule A,
Paragraph 4.
ii. The amount for which CEDING COMPANY is liable.
The pre-issue liability applies only once on any given life
regardless of how many receipts were issued or initial premiums were
accepted by CEDING COMPANY. After a policy has been issued, no
reinsurance benefits are payable under this pre- issue coverage
provision.
In the event that CEDING COMPANY's rules with respect to cash
handling and the issuance of conditional receipt or temporary
insurance are not followed, REINSURER will participate in the
pre-issue contract liability if the conditions for automatic
reinsurance are met and CEDING COMPANY does not knowingly allow such
rules to be violated or condone such a practice. Such liability
shall be limited to the lesser of i. or ii. above. As in all cases,
the provisions of Section 14 apply to such a claim.
7. REINSURANCE RISK AMOUNT AND REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES.
a. REINSURANCE RISK AMOUNT.
Reinsurance shall be on a first dollar, quota share basis. The
Reinsurance Risk Amount will be REINSURER's Automatic Reinsurance
Share, or Facultative Reinsurance Share, of the Net Amount at Risk.
REINSURER's share of Net Amount of Risk will be the same as
REINSURER's share of the Specified Amount, as set forth in Schedule
A.
Reinsurance Risk Amount will be calculated on the policy or rider
anniversary, unless there is an increase or decrease in the
Specified Amount during a policy year. If the Specified Amount
increases or decreases during the policy year, the Reinsurance Risk
Amount will be recalculated at the time of the increase or decrease.
In calculating Reinsurance Risk Amount, the Policy Account Value
used in the calculation shall be the Policy Account Value at the
policy's most recent monthly deduction.
4
b. REINSURANCE PREMIUMS.
Reinsurance premiums will be based on the Reinsurance Risk Amount.
The reinsurance premiums per $1000 of Reinsurance Risk Amount are
shown in Schedule B.
c. TABLE RATED SUBSTANDARD PREMIUMS.
If CEDING COMPANY's policy is issued with a table rated substandard
premium, the reinsurance premiums shown in Schedule B will apply.
d. FLAT EXTRA PREMIUMS.
If CEDING COMPANY's policy is issued with a flat extra premium, the
reinsurance premiums shown in Schedule B will apply.
e. RATES NOT GUARANTEED.
For the reinsurance of new business, REINSURER reserves the right to
change reinsurance rates after 90 days written notice.
For the ongoing reinsurance of existing in force business, REINSURER
will accept YRT reinsurance at the current reinsurance premium
rates, as shown in Schedule B, unless CEDING COMPANY increases the
current cost of insurance rates charged to the policyholder.
REINSURER reserves the right to increase the current reinsurance
premium rates in the event CEDING COMPANY increases current cost of
insurance rates charged on the underlying policies. The maximum
reinsurance premiums are equal to the statutory valuation premiums
for yearly renewable term insurance at the maximum interest rates
and minimum mortality rates for each year of issue. Any increases in
current reinsurance premium rates will apply as of the date that the
CEDING COMPANY increase in policyholder current cost of insurance
rates becomes effective. CEDING COMPANY will have the right to
immediate recapture of all of the reinsured business for which the
overall percentage increase in reinsurance premium rates is greater
than the overall percentage increase in current cost of insurance
rates.
CEDING COMPANY agrees to notify REINSURER of any intent to increase
current cost of insurance rates charged for new or existing
business.
8. CASH VALUES OR LOANS.
This Agreement does not provide reinsurance for cash surrender values. In
addition, REINSURER will not participate in policy loans or other forms of
indebtedness on reinsured business.
5
9. PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUMS
a. PREMIUM DUE.
The reinsurance premiums for each reinsurance cession are due as
shown in Schedule A and payable to REINSURER within 30 days after
the end of the month in which they become due. The reinsurance
premiums are determined according to Schedule B. On any payment
date, monies payable between REINSURER and CEDING COMPANY under this
Agreement may be netted to determine the payment due.
b. FAILURE TO PAY PREMIUMS.
If the reinsurance premiums are 60 days past due, for reasons other
than those due to error or omission as defined below in Section 18,
the premiums will be considered in default and REINSURER may
terminate the reinsurance upon 30 days' prior written notice.
REINSURER will have no further liability as of the termination date.
CEDING COMPANY will be liable for the prorated reinsurance premiums
to the termination date. CEDING COMPANY agrees that it will not
force termination under the provisions of this paragraph solely to
avoid the recapture requirements or to transfer the block of
business reinsured to another reinsurer.
c. OVERPAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUM.
If CEDING COMPANY overpays a reinsurance premium and REINSURER
accepts the overpayment, REINSURER's acceptance will not constitute
nor create a reinsurance liability nor result in any additional
reinsurance. Instead, REINSURER will be liable to CEDING COMPANY for
a credit in the amount of the overpayment, without interest.
d. UNDERPAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUM.
If CEDING COMPANY fails to make a full premium payment for a policy
or policies reinsured hereunder, due to an error or omission as
defined below in Section 18, the amount of reinsurance coverage
provided by REINSURER shall not be reduced. However, once the
underpayment is discovered, CEDING COMPANY will be required to pay
to REINSURER the difference between the full premium amount and the
amount actually paid, without interest. If payment of the full
premium is not made within 60 days after the discovery of the
underpayment, the underpayment shall be treated as a failure to pay
premiums and subject to the conditions of Paragraph 9.b., above.
e. RETURN OF REINSURANCE PREMIUM
If CEDING COMPANY returns the policy premiums to the policy owner
rather than pay the policy benefits, REINSURER will refund all of
the reinsurance premiums it received on that policy to CEDING
COMPANY, without interest.
6
This refund given by REINSURER will be in lieu of all other
reinsurance benefits payable on that policy under this Agreement. If
there is an adjustment to the policy benefits due to a
misrepresentation or misstatement of age or sex, a corresponding
adjustment will be made to the reinsurance benefits.
f. UNEARNED PREMIUMS
Unearned premiums will be returned on deaths, surrenders and other
terminations. This refund will be on a prorated basis without
interest from the date of termination of the policy to the date to
which a reinsurance premium has been paid.
10. PREMIUM TAX REIMBURSEMENT.
Premium taxes will not be reimbursed.
11. DAC TAX AGREEMENT.
CEDING COMPANY and REINSURER, herein collectively called the "Parties", or
singularly the "Party", hereby enter into an election under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.848-2(g) (8) whereby:
a. For each taxable year under this Agreement, the party with the net
positive consideration, as defined in the regulations promulgated
under Treasury Code Section 848, will capitalize specified policy
acquisition expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard
to general deductions limitation of Section 848 (c) (1);
b. CEDING COMPANY and REINSURER agree to exchange information
pertaining to the net consideration under this Agreement each year
to insure consistency or as otherwise required by the Internal
Revenue Service;
c. CEDING COMPANY will submit to REINSURER by April 1 of each year its
calculation of the net consideration for the preceding calendar
year. This schedule of calculations will be accompanied by a
statement signed by an officer of CEDING COMPANY stating that CEDING
COMPANY will report such net consideration in its tax return for the
preceding calendar year;
d. REINSURER may contest such calculation by providing an alternative
calculation to CEDING COMPANY in writing within 30 days of
REINSURER's receipt of CEDING COMPANY's calculation. If REINSURER
does not so notify CEDING COMPANY, REINSURER will report the net
consideration as determined by CEDING COMPANY in REINSURER's tax
return for the previous calendar year;
7
e. If REINSURER contests CEDING COMPANY's calculation of the net
consideration, the parties will act in good faith to reach an
agreement as to the correct amount within 30 days of the date
REINSURER submits its alternative calculation. If CEDING COMPANY and
REINSURER reach agreement on the net amount of consideration, each
party will report such amount in their respective tax returns for
the previous calendar year.
Both Parties represent and warrant that they are subject to U.S. taxation
under either Subchapter L of Chapter 1, or Subpart F of Subchapter N of
Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
12. REPORTS.
The reporting period is monthly. The administrating party is CEDING
COMPANY. For each reporting period, CEDING COMPANY will submit a statement
to REINSURER with information that is substantially similar to the
information displayed in Schedule C. The statement will include
information on the risks reinsured with REINSURER, premiums owed, policy
exhibit activity, and an accounting summary. Within 30 days after the end
of each calendar quarter, CEDING COMPANY will submit a reserve credit
summary similar to that shown in Schedule C.
13. RESERVES FOR REINSURANCE.
Reserves for this YRT Agreement shall be based on 1/2cx using the minimum
valuation mortality table and maximum valuation interest rate. The
statutory reserve basis for the reinsurance will be shown on the reserve
credit summary provided each quarter.
14. CLAIMS.
a. NOTICE OF CLAIM
For all claims, CEDING COMPANY will promptly send a Notice of Claim
to REINSURER. The Notice of Claim will include: the insured's name
and date of birth, the policy number and policy issue date, the
Specified Amount and Reinsured Risk Amount, and the cause and date
of death.
b. REQUEST FOR PAYMENT.
For all claims, CEDING COMPANY will submit to REINSURER a request
for payment of the Reinsurance Risk Amount as follows:
i. For all non-contestable claims and Automatic contestable
claims with a death benefit less than or equal to [dollar

Claim which will include: an itemized statement of the
benefits paid by CEDING COMPANY, copy of proof of payment by
CEDING COMPANY, and insured's death certificate.
8
ii. For Automatic contestable claims between [dollar amount] and
[dollar amount], CEDING COMPANY will send to REINSURER a Proof
of Claim which will include: an itemized statement of the
benefits paid by CEDING COMPANY, copy of proof of payment by
CEDING COMPANY, and insured's death certificate. In order to
streamline the amount of information sent to all REINSURERS, a
copy of the underwriting file and claims investigation
information will be provided by CEDING COMPANY only to the
Reinsurance Claim Administrator (assigned in paragraph 14(d).
below) if all of the following criteria is met:
o The insured was a resident of the United States or
Canada at the time of death.
o There is no evidence of misrepresentation, fraud or
other circumstances that would require special claims
handling or investigation.
o CEDING COMPANY has not decided to deny or contest the
claim.
o Legal proceedings have not been initiated against CEDING
COMPANY in connection with the claim.
iii. For all Automatic contestable claims greater than [dollar
amount], and Automatic contestable claims with a death benefit
between [dollar amount] and [dollar amount] where the criteria
in 14(b.)(ii.) above is not met, CEDING COMPANY will send all
REINSURERS a Proof of Claim which will include: an itemized
statement of the benefits paid by CEDING COMPANY, copy of
proof of payment by CEDING COMPANY, insured's death
certificate, and a copy of the underwriting file and claims
investigation information.
iv. For contestable Facultative claims, CEDING COMPANY will send
REINSURER(s) on the Facultative risk a Proof of Claim which
will include: an itemized statement of the benefits paid by
CEDING COMPANY, copy of proof of payment by CEDING COMPANY,
insured's death certificate, and a copy of the underwriting
file and claims investigation information.
c. CONTESTED CLAIMS.
CEDING COMPANY will notify REINSURER of its intention to contest,
compromise, or litigate a claim involving a reinsured policy. After
receiving notice, REINSURER may elect to release all of its
liability by paying CEDING COMPANY its full share of reinsurance and
not sharing in any subsequent reduction in liability. If REINSURER
does not elect to release its liability, REINSURER will share in any
subsequent reduction in CEDING COMPANY's liability. REINSURER will
share in such reduction in the proportion that REINSURER's net
liability bears to the sum of the net liability before reduction of
CEDING COMPANY and all reinsurers on the insured's date of death.
9
d. ASSIGNMENT OF REINSURANCE CLAIM ADMINISTRATOR:
The role of Reinsurance Claim Administrator will be assigned on the
following alphabetic split of the surname of the insured:
----------------------------------------------------------
REINSURANCE CLAIM ADMINISTRATOR SURNAMES
----------------------------------------------------------
[name of reinsurance company] A - D
----------------------------------------------------------
[name of reinsurance company] E - H
----------------------------------------------------------
[name of reinsurance company] I - L
----------------------------------------------------------
[name of reinsurance company] M - P
----------------------------------------------------------
[name of reinsurance company] Q - Z
----------------------------------------------------------
e. AMOUNT AND PAYMENT OF BENEFITS.
The reinsurance benefit will be limited to REINSURER's share of
CEDING COMPANY's contractual liability for the claim. For purposes
of this Paragraph 14, contractual liability shall mean the benefits
payable by CEDING COMPANY pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the reinsured policy. CEDING COMPANY's contractual liability for
claims is binding on REINSURER. The total reinsurance benefit
recovered by CEDING COMPANY from all reinsurers on a policy must not
exceed CEDING COMPANY's total contractual liability on the policy,
less CEDING COMPANY's quota share retention on the policy. If the
total amount of reinsurance exceeds CEDING COMPANY's contractual
liability, the quota share of CEDING COMPANY and each reinsurer
shall be reduced proportionately.
REINSURER shall pay to CEDING COMPANY the Reinsurance Risk Amount
after REINSURER receives the information required in paragraphs
14(a.), and 14(b.). REINSURER also agrees to pay to CEDING COMPANY
its share of any interest paid out to the claimant by CEDING
COMPANY.
f. CLAIM EXPENSES.
REINSURER will pay its share of reasonable investigation expenses
and CEDING COMPANY's legal expenses connected with the litigation or
settlement of contractual liability claims unless REINSURER has
released its liability pursuant to Paragraph 14(c.), above. If
REINSURER has released its liability, REINSURER will not participate
in any expenses after the date of release.
Claim expenses do not include routine claim and administration
expenses, including CEDING COMPANY's home office expenses and any
legal expenses other than defense legal expenses incurred by CEDING
COMPANY. Also, expenses incurred in connection with a dispute or
contest arising out of conflicting claims of entitlement to policy
proceeds or benefits that CEDING COMPANY admits are payable are not
a claim expense under this Agreement.
10
g. EXTRACONTRACTUAL DAMAGES.
Except as explicitly provided in this Paragraph 14(g.), REINSURER
will not participate in and shall not be liable to reimburse CEDING
COMPANY or others for any amounts in excess of REINSURER's share of
the Reinsurance Risk Amount, including extra-contractual damages or
liabilities and related expenses and fees. Extra-contractual damages
are any damages awarded against CEDING COMPANY, including, for
example, those resulting from negligence, reckless or intentional
conduct, fraud, oppression, or bad faith committed by CEDING COMPANY
in connection with the mortality risk insurance reinsured under this
Agreement.
For purposes of this agreement, the term "extra-contractual damages"
shall include, by way of example and not by limitation:
i. actual and consequential damages;
ii. damages for emotional distress or oppression;
iii. punitive, exemplary or compensatory damages;
iv. statutory damages, fines, or penalties;
v. amounts in excess of the risk reinsured hereunder that CEDING
COMPANY pays to settle a dispute or claim;
vi. third-party attorney fees, costs and expenses.
REINSURER will reimburse CEDING COMPANY for CEDING COMPANY's
extra-contractual damages that result from REINSURER's actions that
directly and proximately cause such extra-contractual damages. Any
such reimbursement will be in proportion to REINSURER's direct and
proximate participation in the actions that lead to the
extra-contractual damages.
15. POLICY CHANGES.
a. NOTICE.
If a reinsured policy is changed, a corresponding change will be
made in the reinsurance for that policy. CEDING COMPANY will notify
REINSURER of the change in CEDING COMPANY's next accounting
statement.
b. INCREASES.
Increases in Specified Amount will be handled as follows:
i. Increases underwritten in accordance with CEDING COMPANY's
guidelines may be reinsured automatically if the following
conditions are met:
o The Specified Amount after the increase, along with
other amounts inforce and applied for, does not exceed
the Automatic Acceptance Limits or Automatic In-Force
and Applied for Limit shown in Schedule A; and
11
o The initial Specified Amount was reinsured
automatically.
ii. Increases made pursuant to the Automatic Increasing Benefit
Rider will be reinsured automatically so long as the sum of
all increases made under the Automatic Increasing Benefit
Rider have not exceeded the maximum increase amount available
under the Automatic Increasing Benefit Rider.
CEDING COMPANY's share and REINSURER's share of Specified Amount
after an increase will be the same as their respective shares before
the increase, except CEDING COMPANY will not retain an amount more
than the per policy Retention Limit shown in Schedule A.
If an increase in Specified Amount occurs on a date other than the
policy anniversary, a pro-rata reinsurance premium will be paid to
REINSURER. The reinsurance premium rates will be based on the
original issue age, duration since issuance of the original policy
and the most recent underwriting classification.
c. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION.
If life insurance on a reinsured policy is reduced, then the
reinsurance will be reduced proportionately so that each party's
quota share portion remains the same. If life insurance on a
reinsured policy is terminated, then the reinsurance will cease on
the date of such termination. If a decrease in Specified Amount
occurs on a date other than the policy anniversary, a pro-rata
reinsurance premium will be refunded to CEDING COMPANY.
d. INTERNAL REPLACEMENTS.
If a CEDING COMPANY policy reinsured under this Agreement is
replaced with another CEDING COMPANY policy, reinsurance will
continue under this Agreement or under another agreement between
CEDING COMPANY and REINSURER. Reinsurance premium rates for the new
policy will be based on the issue age and duration since issue of
the original policy, but on the underwriting classification of the
new policy.
If a CEDING COMPANY policy not reinsured under this Agreement is
replaced with a CEDING COMPANY policy of the plan covered by this
Agreement, other than as the result of a contractual term
conversion, the new policy will be eligible for reinsurance under
this Agreement. A policy issued as a result of a contractual term
conversion will be eligible for reinsurance under this Agreement if
the term policy was applied for on or after the effective date of
this Agreement and conversion occurs within one year of the policy
issue date. Reinsurance may be ceded automatically subject to the
conditions listed in Section 3. or facultatively as provided by
Section 5. Reinsurance premium rates will be based on the issue age,
issue date and underwriting classification of the new policy.
12
16. REINSTATEMENTS.
a. REINSTATEMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE.
If CEDING COMPANY reinstates a policy without evidence, REINSURER's
reinsurance for that policy will be automatically reinstated.
b. REINSTATEMENT WITH EVIDENCE.
If CEDING COMPANY has been requested to reinstate a policy with
evidence that was originally ceded to REINSURER as facultative
reinsurance, then CEDING COMPANY will resubmit the case to
REINSURER for underwriting approval before the reinsurance can be
reinstated. If the policy was originally ceded to REINSURER as
automatic reinsurance, REINSURER's reinsurance for that policy will
be automatically reinstated.
c. PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT.
The reinsurance premiums for the interval during which the policy
was lapsed will be paid to REINSURER on the same basis as CEDING
COMPANY charged its policy owner for the reinstatement. However,
REINSURER is not responsible for claims, under Section 14 of this
Agreement, that occur when the policy is lapsed.
17. INCREASE IN RETENTION.
a. NEW BUSINESS.
CEDING COMPANY may, at its option and with 90 days' written notice
to REINSURER, increase its Automatic Share and/or its per policy
Retention Limit shown in Schedule A for policies issued after the
effective date of the retention increase.
b. RECAPTURE.
If CEDING COMPANY increases its Automatic Share and/or its per
policy Retention Limit, then it may, with 90 days' written notice to
REINSURER, reduce or recapture the reinsurance in force subject to
the following requirements:
i. Eligible Policies:
o For Automatic policies, CEDING COMPANY retained its full
Automatic Share.
o For Facultative policies, CEDING COMPANY retained a
minimum [percentage] share up to its per policy
Retention Limit.
ii. A cession is not eligible for recapture until it has been
reinsured for the minimum number of years shown in Schedule A.
The effective date of the reduction in reinsurance will be the
latter of the first policy anniversary
13
following the expiration of the 90-day notice period to
recapture and the policy anniversary date when the required
minimum of years is attained.
iii. If any reinsurance is recaptured, all reinsurance eligible for
recapture under the provisions of this agreement must be
recaptured. On all policies eligible for recapture,
reinsurance will be reduced by the amount necessary to
increase the total insurance retained up to the new retention
limits.
iv. If any policy eligible for recapture is also eligible for
recapture from other reinsurers, the reduction in REINSURER's
reinsurance on that policy will be in proportion to the total
amount of reinsurance on the policy with all reinsurers.
18. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS.
Any unintentional or accidental failure of CEDING COMPANY or REINSURER to
comply with the terms of this Agreement which can be shown to be the
result of an oversight, misunderstanding or clerical error, will not be
deemed a breach of this Agreement. Upon discovery, the error will be
corrected so that both parties are restored to the position they would
have occupied had the oversight, misunderstanding or clerical error not
occurred. Should it not be possible to restore both parties to such a
position, CEDING COMPANY and REINSURER shall negotiate in good faith to
equitably apportion any resulting liabilities and expenses.
This provision applies only to oversights, misunderstandings or clerical
errors relating to the administration of reinsurance covered by this
Agreement. This provision does not apply to the administration of the
insurance provided by CEDING COMPANY to its insured or any other errors or
omissions committed by CEDING COMPANY with regard to the policy reinsured
hereunder.
19. INSOLVENCY.
In the event that CEDING COMPANY is deemed insolvent, all reinsurance
claims payable hereunder will be payable by REINSURER directly to CEDING
COMPANY, its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, without
diminution because of the insolvency of CEDING COMPANY. It is understood,
however, that in the event of such insolvency, the liquidator, receiver or
statutory successor of CEDING COMPANY will give written notice to
REINSURER of the pendency of a claim against REINSURER on a risk reinsured
hereunder within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the
insolvency proceeding. Such notice will indicate the policy reinsured and
whether the claim could involve a possible liability on the part of
REINSURER.
During the pendency of such claim, REINSURER may investigate such claim
and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is
to be adjudicated, any defense or
14
defenses it may deem available to CEDING COMPANY, its liquidator, receiver
or statutory successor. It is further understood that the expense thus
incurred by REINSURER will be chargeable, subject to court approval,
against CEDING COMPANY as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent
of a proportionate share of the benefit that may accrue to CEDING COMPANY
solely as a result of the defense undertaken by REINSURER.
20. ARBITRATION.
a. GENERAL.
All disputes and differences under this Agreement that cannot be
amicably agreed upon by the parties will be decided by arbitration.
The arbitrators will have the authority to interpret this Agreement
and, in doing so, will consider the customs and practices of the
life insurance and reinsurance industries. The arbitrators will
consider this Agreement an honorable engagement rather than merely a
legal obligation, and they are relieved of all judicial formalities
and may abstain from following the strict rules of the law.
b. NOTICE.
To initiate arbitration, one of the parties will notify the other,
in writing, of its desire to arbitrate. The notice will state the
nature of the dispute and the desired remedies. The party to which
the notice is sent will respond to the notification in writing
within 10 days of receipt of the notice. At that time, the
responding party will state any additional dispute it may have
regarding the subject of arbitration.
C. PROCEDURE.
Arbitration will be heard before a panel of three arbitrators. The
arbitrators will be executive officers of life insurance or
reinsurance companies; however, these companies will not be either
party nor their affiliates. Each party will appoint one arbitrator.
Notice of the appointment of these arbitrators will be given by each
party to the other party within 30 days of the date of mailing of
the notification initiating the arbitration. These two arbitrators
will, as soon as possible, but no longer than 45 days after the day
of the mailing of the notification initiating the arbitration, then
select the third arbitrator. Should either party fail to appoint an
arbitrator or should the two initial arbitrators be unable to agree
on the choice of a third arbitrator, each arbitrator will nominate
three candidates, two of whom the other will decline, and the
decision will be made by drawing lots on the final selection. Once
chosen, the three arbitrators will have the authority to decide all
substantive and procedural issues by a majority vote. The
arbitration hearing will be held on the date fixed by the
arbitrators at a location agreed upon by the parties. The
arbitrators will issue a written decision from which there will be
no appeal. Either party may reduce this decision to a judgment
before any court that has jurisdiction of the subject of the
arbitration.
15
d. COSTS.
Each party will pay the fees of its own attorneys, the arbitrator
appointed by that party, and all other expenses connected with the
presentation of its own case. The two parties will share equally in
the cost of the third arbitrator.
The arbitrators shall operate in a fair but cost efficient manner.
For example, the arbitrators are not bound by technical rules of
evidence and may limit the use of depositions and discovery.
21. GOOD FAITH; FINANCIAL SOLVENCY.
CEDING COMPANY agrees that all matters with respect to this Agreement
require its utmost good faith. REINSURER or its representatives have the
right at any reasonable time to inspect CEDING COMPANY's records relating
to this Agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other party
that it is solvent on a statutory basis in all states in which it does
business or is licensed. Each party agrees to promptly notify the other if
it is subsequently financially impaired. REINSURER has entered into this
Agreement in reliance upon CEDING COMPANY's representations and
warranties.
CEDING COMPANY affirms that it has disclosed and will continue to disclose
to REINSURER all matters material to this Agreement and each reinsurance
cession. Examples of such matters are a change in underwriting or issue
practices or philosophy, a change in underwriting management personnel, or
a change in CEDING COMPANY's ownership or control.
22. TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.
CEDING COMPANY will maintain and continue the reinsurance provided in this
Agreement as long as the policy to which it relates is in force or has not
been fully recaptured. This Agreement may be terminated, without cause,
for the acceptance of new reinsurance after 90 days' written notice of
termination by either party to the other. REINSURER will continue to
accept reinsurance during this 90-day period. REINSURER's acceptance will
be subject to both the terms of this Agreement and CEDING COMPANY's
payment of applicable reinsurance premiums.
In addition, this Agreement may be terminated immediately for the
acceptance of new reinsurance by either party if one of the parties
materially breaches this Agreement or becomes insolvent.
23. MEDICAL INFORMATION BUREAU.
REINSURER is required to strictly adhere to the Medical Information Bureau
Rules, and CEDING COMPANY agrees to abide by these Rules, as amended from
time to time. CEDING COMPANY will not submit a preliminary notice,
application for reinsurance, or reinsurance cession to REINSURER unless
CEDING COMPANY has an authentic, signed
16
preliminary or regular application for insurance in its home office and
the current required Medical Information Bureau authorization.
24. SEVERABILITY.
In the event that any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held by
any court, arbitrator, or administrative agency to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, all of the other terms and provisions shall remain in full
force and effect to the extent that their continuance is practicable and
consistent with the original intent of the parties. In addition, if any
provision or term is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties
will attempt in good faith to renegotiate the Agreement to carry out the
original intent of the parties.
