This security will be subject to the provisions of the ‘TOTAL SECURITY’ section. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Effective Exposure is defined as the sum of (a) the GAAP reserve credits, (b) Net Recoverables as defined in the ‘PROVISIONS FOR A FOREIGN DOMICILED REINSURER’ section, (c) a provision for opportunity costs, and (d) a provision for adverse deviation in claims and losses over the subsequent 12-month period. If THE COMPANY elects to recapture due to a Risk Trigger Event, then the net amount of risk that can be recaptured can be no greater than the amount needed to reduce THE COMPANY’s Effective Exposure to THE REINSURER to an amount equal to the security being provided by THE REINSURER to THE COMPANY as per the TOTAL SECURITY section. The net amount at risk will be recaptured as an equal percentage of all automatic policies. For example, if THE COMPANY’s Effective Exposure to THE REINSURER is $100 million and THE REINSURER is providing $75 million of security to THE COMPANY, then the percentage of each policy recaptured will be 25%.
