ARTICLE 8. CREDIT FOR REINSURANCE
To the extent necessary to permit the Company to receive full credit in the statutory statements it is required to file with the Vermont Insurance Department for the outstanding loss reserves and unearned premium reserves ceded hereunder (collectively, the “Obligations”), the Reinsurer shall, promptly following receipt of a statement setting forth the Obligations, either (at the option of the Reinsurer) (i) apply for and provide the Company with a clean, unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit in the amount specified in such statement with terms and issued by a bank acceptable to the Vermont Insurance Department and reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the purpose of credit for reinsurance (the “Letter of Credit”) or (ii) establish a trust account for the benefit of the Company (the “Trust Account”) with a bank acceptable to the Vermont Insurance Department and reasonably acceptable to the Company and deposit in the Trust Account the amount specified in such statement, for the purpose of credit for reinsurance. At intervals that are no more frequent than once per calendar quarter, the Company shall prepare a specific statement, for the sole purpose of amending the Letter of Credit or adjusting the balance in the Trust Account, of the Obligations, and, to the extent the Obligations reflected in such statement are greater than the amount of the Letter of Credit or the balance of the Trust Account, the Reinsurer shall secure an amendment of the Letter of Credit or shall deposit additional assets in the Trust Account, as applicable. The cost of any Letter of Credit (and amendments thereto) and/or Trust Account provided pursuant to this Article shall be borne solely by the Company.
If the Reinsurer elects to establish a Trust Account, the trustee of the Trust Account and the trust agreement shall comply with all applicable requirements of regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company. The assets deposited in the Trust Account shall be valued according to their current fair market value, and shall consist only of cash (United States legal tender), certificates of deposit issued by a United States bank and payable in United States legal tender, and investments of the type permitted by the Vermont Insurance Code, or any combination of the above, provided that such investments are issued by an institution that is not the Reinsurer or the Company or the parent, subsidiary or affiliate of either the Reinsurer or the Company. Prior to depositing assets with the trustee, the Reinsurer shall execute assignments, endorsements in blank, or transfer legal title to the trustee of all shares, obligations or any other assets requiring assignments, in order that the Company, or the trustee upon the direction of the Company, may whenever necessary negotiate any such assets without consent or signature from the Reinsurer or any other entity. All settlements of account between the Company and the Reinsurer shall be made in cash or its equivalent.
If the Reinsurer has established a Trust Account and the statement shows that the Obligations are less than the balance of the Trust Account as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall have the right to seek approval from the Company to withdraw from the Trust Account all or any part of the assets contained therein and transfer such assets to the Reinsurer, provided that, after such withdrawal and transfer, the market value of the assets in the Trust Account is not less than 102 percent of the Obligations. In addition, the Reinsurer shall have the right to seek approval from the Company to withdraw from the Trust Account all or any part of the assets contained therein and transfer such assets to the Reinsurer, provided that the Reinsurer shall, at the time of such withdrawal, replace
3
the withdrawn assets with other assets meeting the above requirements and having a market value at least equal to the market value of the assets withdrawn so as to maintain at all times the deposit in the required amount. The Company shall be the sole judge as to the application of this provision, but shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold its approval.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company or any successor by operation of law of the Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company, may draw upon the Letter of Credit or withdraw assets from the Trust Account, without diminution because of the insolvency of any party hereto, at any time and undertake to use and apply the sum drawn for one or more of the following purposes only:
1. To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of premiums returned to the Original Insured on account of cancellation of the Policy;
2. To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of losses paid by the Company under the terms and provisions of the Policy;
3. To fund an account with the Company in an amount at least equal to the deduction, for reinsurance ceded, from the Company’s liabilities for the reinsurance ceded hereunder (such amounts shall include, but not be limited to, amounts for outstanding losses and unearned premium reserves); and
4. To pay any other amounts the Company claims are under this Agreement.
The Company shall pay interest at the prime rate of interest on amounts held pursuant to paragraph 3 above. The Company shall return to the Reinsurer amounts drawn in excess of the actual amounts required for paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above and, with respect to paragraph 4 above, any amounts that are subsequently determined not to be due.
ARTICLE 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Insolvency. In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Company, or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, on the basis of the liability of the Company without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of each claim against the Company with respect to which the Reinsurer may have liability under this Agreement within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership. During the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.
4
2. Errors and Omissions. Any inadvertent delay, omission or error shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability that would attach to it under this Agreement if such delay, omission or error had not been made, provided such delay, omission or error is rectified as soon as possible after discovery thereof.
3. Recoveries. The Company shall credit the Reinsurer with its pro rata share of any recoveries or reimbursements received by the Company under the Policy.
4. Arbitration. Should an irreconcilable difference of opinion or dispute arise between the parties to this Agreement as to the interpretation of this Agreement, or as to transactions with respect to this Agreement, such differences or dispute shall, before bringing any action or suit hereunder, first be submitted to the decision of a board of arbitration composed of two arbiters and an umpire, meeting in New York, New York, except as hereinafter provided or unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
To initiate arbitration, either party shall notify the other party in writing of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of its dispute, the remedy sought and the identity of its chosen arbiter, and shall request that the responding party appoint and identify its own arbiter.
The members of the board of arbitration shall be active or retired disinterested officials of insurance or reinsurance companies and may not be a present or former officer, attorney or consultant of either party. After each party appoints its arbiter, the two arbiters shall choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. If the respondent fails to appoint its arbiter within four weeks after being requested to do so by the claimant, the latter shall also appoint the second arbiter. If the two arbiters fail to agree on the appointment of an umpire within four weeks after their nomination, the umpire shall by chosen by the President of the American Arbitration Association and shall be a person meeting the qualifications set forth above.
Claimant shall submit its initial brief within 20 days from the employment of the umpire. The respondent shall submit its brief within 20 days thereafter, and the claimant may submit a reply brief within 10 days after the filing of the respondent’s brief. The board shall make its decision with regard to the customary usage of the insurance and reinsurance business. The board is released from all judicial formalities and may abstain from the strict rules of the law, interpreting this Agreement as an honorable undertaking, rather than merely a legal obligation. The board shall make its decision, describing its reasons therefor in writing, within 30 days following the termination of the hearings, unless the parties consent to an extension. A majority decision of the board shall be final and binding upon the parties to the proceedings. The judgment upon the award entered by the arbiters may be entered in any court of proper jurisdiction and may be enforced in any such court. By agreement between two members of the board, the time intervals contained in this Article will be extended.
Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbiter and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the umpire. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceedings shall be allocated by the board.
5
This Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
5. Offset. The Company and the Reinsurer have the right to offset any balance(s) due from one to the other under this Agreement or under any other agreements between the parties. In the event of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with applicable law.
6. Taxes. The Reinsurer shall have no liability for any taxes payable with respect to this Agreement or the Policy.
7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of law rules thereof.
8. Follow the Fortunes; Honorable Undertaking; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be subject to the same rates, terms, conditions, interpretations, waivers, the exact proportion of premiums paid to the Company and to the same modifications, alterations and cancellations as the Policy, the true intent of this Agreement being that the Reinsurer shall, in every case to which this Agreement applies and in the proportion specified in this Agreement, follow the fortunes of the Company. This Agreement shall be construed as an honorable undertaking between the Company and the Reinsurer and shall not be defeated by technical legal constructions. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to expand the liability of the Reinsurer beyond what is specifically assumed thereunder by creating rights of any third party, including any insured of the Company, in or under this Agreement.
