4. Loss Reimbursement — The loss reimbursement obligations of Insured under the
Policies shall be governed by the following:
A. |
As of the inception date of the Policies, Insured will maintain with Insurer a minimum and deposit loss fund in the amount of $5,500,000 (“WC Loss Fund” or “Loss
Fund”). Insurer has agreed to permit the Loss Fund currently held by Insurer in conjunction with the Insured’s Insurance Plan effective as of January 1, 2000 (“1-1-00 Insurance Plan”) and January 1, 2001 (1-1-01 Insurance Plan)
to be utilized in partially complying with the loss reimbursement obligations hereunder, thereby requiring Insured to add $1,400,000 to the Loss Fund securing the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan. Said additional $1,400,000 shall be added to the Loss Fund
(hereinafter referred to as the “Consolidated Loss Fund”) as of the inception date of the Policies and said Consolidated Loss Fund shall be maintained as security until all claims under the 1-1-00 Insurance Plan, the 1-1-01 Insurance Plan
and the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Insurance Plans”) covered by their Respective Finance Agreements have been closed. Insurer will xxxx Insured monthly for the prior calendar month’s losses
paid and ALAE paid pursuant to the Policies covered by the Consolidated Loss Fund, unpaid claims handling expenses earned (if any) by a claims administrator (collectively “Losses and Expenses”), and, if applicable, either xxxx Insured for
the Interest in Lieu of Charge (as defined in this Article) or remit payment to Insured of the Loss Fund Deposit Credit (as defined in this Article) applicable to the Consolidated Loss Fund. In the event of any default in payment by Insured, Insurer
has the option to draw upon the Consolidated Loss Fund or on any other Collateral securing Insured’s Obligations under this Agreement. |
B. |
On or prior to December 31, 2002, Insured will establish with Insurer a working loss fund (“Working Loss Fund”). Funding of the Working Loss Fund will be made in an
amount equal to the difference in the total of losses paid by Insurer (with respect to the Policies covered hereunder) as of November 30, 2001 in the amount of $18,515,000,which is the Insured’s estimated maximum Aggregate Retention as set
forth in Article 6 of this Agreement. Funds maintained in the Working Loss Fund will be utilized by Insurer to pay losses applicable to Insured’s maximum Aggregate Retention under the 1-1-00 Insurance Plan, the 1-1-01 Insurance Plan and the
1-1-02 Insurance Plan. |
C. |
With respect to the Consolidated Loss Fund, an “Interest in Lieu of Charge” will compensate Insurer for the loss of use of its funds for paying the Losses and
Expenses on behalf of Insured prior to being reimbursed on a monthly basis for same by Insured; and a “Loss Fund Deposit Credit” will compensate Insured for the loss of use of its funds comprising the Consolidated Loss Fund.
|
The Interest in Lieu of Charge will be two times the Losses and Expenses multiplied by one-twelfth (1/12) (or the applicable pro-rata amount thereof based upon the number of
months, or portion thereof, for which such charge is being calculated) of the ninety (90) day commercial paper dealer rate in effect on the first Friday(s) of the month(s) being billed for that calendar quarter as set forth in the Money Rates
section (or any successor section) of the Midwest Edition of The Wall Street Journal. The Loss Fund Deposit Credit will be two times the Consolidated Loss Fund multiplied by one-twelfth (1/12) (or the applicable pro-rata amount thereof based
upon the number of months, or portion thereof, for which such charge is being calculated) of the ninety (90) day commercial paper dealer rate in effect on the first Friday(s) of the month(s) being billed as set forth in the Money Rates section (or
any successor section) of the Midwest Edition of The Wall Street Journal. |
The difference in the Interest in Lieu of Charge and the Loss Fund Deposit Credit will either be billed to or payment remitted to Insured by Insurer. Insured will pay
Insurer any amounts billed to it under this Article within fifteen (15) days of the billing date (as defined in the Payment Terms Article of this Agreement). |
5. Paid Loss Adjustment — Insurer may prepare an adjustment for the Insurance Plans (“Deductible Adjustment”) six (6) months after the expiration or termination of the
applicable Policies and annually thereafter (“Evaluation Date”) until final settlement. Each Deductible Adjustment will equal the sum of:
2
A. |
Amounts past due under the Loss Reimbursement Article, Accrued Interest (as defined in the Payment Terms Article), and amounts due under the Additional Amounts Article of the
Finance Agreement applicable to each of the Insurance Plans; plus |
B. |

C. |
Amounts paid to Insurer under this Agreement (exclusive of any of the Insurance Plans premiums applicable to the Policies, premium audit adjustments, Accrued Interest payments,
and amounts arising under the Additional Amounts Article of the Finance Agreement applicable to each of the Insurance Plans). |
Upon
completion of each Deductible Adjustment Insurer will prepare and send an invoice to Insured, or remit a refund to Insured, as appropriate.
6. Maximum Incurred Losses — The maximum Aggregate Retention (including all ALAE paid) Insured will be obligated to pay under the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan, excluding any amounts due Insurer under the Payment
Terms Article, Claims Administration Article, and the Additional Amounts Article of this Agreement, will be $18,515,000 (“Maximum Incurred Losses” or “Aggregate Limit”), which is an estimate; provided, however, the Maximum
Incurred Losses Insured will be obligated to pay (including ALAE) for any one accident or occurrence will be $10,000,000. Upon the completion of each Deductible Adjustment, the Maximum Incurred Losses shall be computed for such period based on the
rate of $161.00 per $1,000 of Manual Workers’ Compensation Premium, with premium subject to a minimum Aggregate Retention of $14,812,000. The Maximum Incurred Losses calculated as a result of any interim audit shall be increased pro rata to 365
days.

protect the interests of Insurer under the 1-1-00 Insurance Plan and the 1-1-01 insurance plan, in addition to the Collateral securing the 1/1/02 Insurance Plan, and that such Collateral may be utilized to pay Insured’s Obligations under said
Insurance Plans as follows:
A. |
The Insured’s Obligations will be secured as follows: |
1.) |
Insured will deliver or cause to be delivered to Insurer as of the inception date of the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan Policies a clean, unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit
(“LOC”) issued by a financial institution acceptable to and in a form acceptable to Insurer. The amount of the LOC shall be $61,230,384. Alternatively, Insured will deposit or cause to be deposited cash or certain classes of securities
(“Eligible Investments”) in the amount of $61,230,384 in the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account for the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan sub-account as required herein to comply with Insurer’s Collateral requirements for the 1-1-02
Insurance Plan as follows: |
(i) A Collateral Trust Account with a financial institution acceptable to Insurer shall be established directly by Insured in the amount of $24,895,384 for the benefit of
Insurer with respect to the 1-1-00, 1-1-01 and 1-1-02 Insurance Plan Collateral requirements (such Collateral Trust Account shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Direct Collateral Trust Account”). Funding of the Direct Collateral Trust
Account shall be made in four equal quarterly installments of $6,223,846 (payable on January 1, 2002, April 1, 2002, July 1, 2002 and October 1, 2002) and the Collateral Trust Agreement creating the Direct Collateral Trust Account shall reflect that
such Collateral Trust Account is established and maintained for the sole benefit of Insurer to secure the Insured’s Obligations under the Insurance Plans. The Direct Collateral Trust Account required hereunder shall be established and
maintained as set forth in Appendix A, which is attached to this Agreement and incorporated by reference herein. For purposes of monitoring Collateral requirements, the Trust Assets comprising the Direct Collateral Trust Account will be treated as
partial collateral securing Insured’s Obligations under the Insurance Plans. |
3
(ii) Insurer has agreed to permit the assets comprising the existing Consolidated Collateral Trust Account established by North Rock Insurance Company Limited as partial
Collateral under the 1-1-00 Insurance Plan and the 1-1-01 Insurance Plan to also be utilized in complying with the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan Collateral requirements in excess of the Collateral required to be maintained in the Direct Collateral Trust
Account. Accordingly, Insured will deposit or cause to be deposited cash or certain classes of securities (“Eligible Investments”—as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) in the amount of $36,335,000 in the existing Consolidated
Collateral Trust Account established in conjunction with Insured’s 1-1-00, 1-1-01 and 1-1-02 Insurance Plans. Funding of additional assets in the amount of $36,335,000 to the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral
Trust Account shall be made with an initial additional deposit of $3,027,924 on January 1, 2002, followed by eleven (11) additional monthly payments of $3,027,916, payable on the first day of each month. The Collateral Trust Agreement creating the

(ii) with respect to the 1-1-01 Insurance Plan sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account, the greater of $3,200,000, or twenty percent (20%) or more from a
market valuation of $15,680,000;
(iii) with respect to the 1-01-02 Insurance Plan sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral
Trust Account, the greater of $2,400,000, or twenty (20%) or more from a market valuation of $12,100,000;
Insured shall, upon 3 business days notice
from the Insurer, increase such class of Trust Assets in the applicable sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account by an amount necessary to restore the market valuation of the Equities by the deficient amount. Alternatively, Insured
may increase the classes of U.S. Treasuries or U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Bonds Trust Assets in an amount necessary to correct any shortcoming in the market valuation of the Equities class of Trust Assets. To correct any such deficiency in a
sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account, Insurer will instruct the Trustee to transfer any surplus Trust Assets from
10
a complying sub-account to the deficient sub-account before making demand upon Insured to make additional deposits to the deficient sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account.
5. (a) In the event the aggregate Incurred Losses under the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan exceed the Loss Amount calculated pursuant to subparagraph
(c) below with respect to the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan, Insured shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Insurer an Additional Premium calculated as 94% of the amount of Incurred Losses (paid losses, reserved losses and ALAE) which exceed that Loss Amount.
Such Additional Premium shall be adjusted and billed quarterly for 6 years from the inception date of the Policy Period and annually thereafter until all claims under the Policies are closed or Insured and Insurer mutually agree to a final
calculation of the Additional Premium.
The amount of any such Additional Premium due hereunder shall be deposited immediately into the 1-1-02 Insurance
Plan sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account upon receipt of an invoice from Insurer. Provided, if the Additional Premium calculated as the result of any adjustment other than the final adjustment is less than $100,000, that
Additional Premium shall be deferred until, and payable by Insured at, the next adjustment.
(b) If the Experience Account
established with respect to the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan pursuant to Article 7. and Appendix B of this Agreement [excluding any investment income earned on any Additional Premium(s) paid pursuant to subparagraph (a) above] is exhausted by payment of
Paid Losses before such Paid Losses total the Loss Amount calculated pursuant to subparagraph (c) below, Insured shall pay to Insurer an Additional Premium with respect to the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan.
Provided, however, such Additional Premium for the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan calculated under this subparagraph (b) shall not exceed the difference between:
(i) |
The Loss Amount calculated pursuant to subparagraph (c) below; and |
(ii) |
The total Paid Losses as of the date the Experience Account is exhausted. |
(c) |
The Loss Amount for the 1-1-02 Insurance Plan covered by this Agreement, as used in this Paragraph 5, is estimated to be $58,500,000. This Loss Amount is adjustable at
audit based on a rate of $508.6957 per $1,000 of Manual Workers’ Compensation Premium. In no event shall the Loss Amount be less than $46,800,000. |
Any Additional Premium(s) due under this Paragraph 5. shall be deposited into the applicable Collateral Trust Account (or sub-account thereof) as additional Trust Assets upon receipt of an invoice from Insurer and
shall be payable by or on behalf of Insured in addition to the Estimated Premium due under the Policies. Any such infusion of additional Trust Assets into either the Direct Collateral Trust Account and/or the applicable sub-account(s) of the
Consolidated Collateral Trust Account hereunder may be made to any or all of the classes of Eligible Investments comprising the Trust Assets.
6. If the cumulative investment yield on the Trust Assets comprising the 1-1-02 sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account is not at least a minimum of 4.25% per annum (“Investment Credit”), as
determined by Insurer on or before January 31, 2003 [and every year thereafter during which time such sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account remains in effect], by multiplying the average daily balance of said sub-account of the
Consolidated Collateral Trust Account for such annual period by 4.25%, an additional infusion of Trust Assets will be made in an amount to bring the value of the sub-account to an amount that would have achieved a 4.25% per
annum on such sub-account for that period. To correct any such deficiency in the Investment Credit of any deficient sub-accounts of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account, Insurer will
11
instruct the Trustee to transfer any surplus Trust Assets from a complying sub-account to the deficient sub- account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account before making demand upon Insured
to make additional deposits to the deficient sub-account(s). The cumulative Investment Credit applicable to the Direct Collateral Trust Account and/or the sub-accounts of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account as required under this Paragraph 5.
shall be equal to the sum of the Investment Credit for the term of this Agreement and each consecutive 12-month period thereafter (or portion thereof) following the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Any such infusion of additional Trust Assets required under the applicable Finance Agreements for each of the Insurance Plans shall be immediately due and deposited in the
deficient sub-account(s) of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account for such Insurance Plan, as applicable, upon receipt of notice from Insurer. No infusion of additional Trust Assets will be required hereunder in the event that the initial and
cumulative Investment Credit equals or exceeds the applicable Investment Credits for each such sub-account of the Consolidated Collateral Trust Account.
