It is hereby expressly declared and agreed that the following Articles, together with the Annexes attached hereto, constitute the Agreement.

Article 1 - Business Covered by the Agreement

 

This Agreement applies to the Gross Written Premiums received under the Policies issued by the Ceding Office with an inception date on or after 1st January 2002 (“the Inception Date”).

 

The Ceding Office will provide prior notice to the Reinsurer of its intention to alter the Policy wordings or to increase or reduce the premium rates used to calculate the Gross Written Premiums for the Policy.

 

This Agreement will only apply to that portion of Business Covered which the Ceding Office retains net for its own account, which for the avoidance of doubt, excludes Policies where the Ceding Office is acting as a reinsurer.  The Reinsurer’s liability hereunder will not be increased due to any error or omission that results from a failure of the Ceding Office otherwise to reinsure in accordance with its established practices or any inability of the Ceding Office to collect any amounts due from other reinsurers, whether by reason of insolvency or otherwise.

 

Only the portion of those Policies that are subject to the provisions of taxation under the BLAGAB regime, as defined by Section 431D of the Taxes Act 1988, at the time of issue will be reinsured hereunder.

 

The Reinsurer will follow the settlements and agreements of the Ceding Office in every respect save that the Ceding Office shall obtain the prior consent of the Reinsurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for any payments of damages, compensation, ex-gratia payments or legal action and associated expenses.  The Reinsurer will not accept liability for any fines or penalties incurred by the Ceding Office as a result of the mis-selling of a Policy.

 

Article 2 - Duration and Termination

 

This Agreement is unlimited as to its duration but may be cancelled by either Party giving three months’ written notice to that effect.  During the period of three months, the Reinsurer will continue to accept cessions in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

Each Party is entitled to terminate the Agreement without giving prior notice if:

 

5



 

1.                             The fulfilment of the Agreement becomes legally or practically impossible for reasons which are beyond the responsibilities of the Parties (such as the country where either Party is domiciled becomes involved in a war).

 

2.                             The other Party becomes insolvent or goes into liquidation or has a receiver/administrator appointed or has its licence to conduct insurance business revoked under rules made under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

 

3.                             The other Party loses more than 50% of its paid up capital.

 

4.                             The other Party transfers its business to a third party.

 

5.                             The other Party is acquired by or merged with or comes under the control of another company except in circumstances where the other company is part of the same group of companies as the other Party.

 

6.                             The other Party does not meet its obligations under the Agreement despite having received formal reminders to do so.

 

In the event of termination Article 13 shall apply

 

Article 3 - Ceding Office’s Retention and Automatic Cover

 

The Ceding Office is bound to cede and the Reinsurer is bound to accept 95% of the Gross Written Premium received from Business Covered with the Ceding Office retaining the remaining 5%.

 

No overpayment of a Reinsurance Premium or acceptance thereof by the Reinsurer shall constitute or create a liability or result in any additional reinsurance. The Reinsurer will be liable only for the refund to the Ceding Office of the overpayment.

 

Article 4 - Reinsurer’s Liability

 

The Reinsurer’s liability will be 95% of Claims (as defined in Article 8) paid by the Ceding Office in respect of  Business Covered.

 

Article 5 - Cancellations, Alterations and Reinstatements

 

If a policy is cancelled, reduced, increased, made paid-up or altered the reinsurance will be altered proportionately.  In the event of a lapsed policy being reinstated the reinsurance thereunder shall automatically be reinstated.  If a Policy is converted into a policy outside the scope of the Agreement, the policy will cease to be reinsured under the Agreement.

 

6



 

Article 6 - Reinsurance Commissions

 

The Reinsurer will pay the Ceding Office the Reinsurance Commission and Additional Reinsurance Commission ( for the avoidance of doubt, Reinsurance Commission will not include any part of any profit share commission paid by the Ceding Office under the Agency Agreement). No other commissions, taxes, stamp duties or proportion of any procuration or renewal expenses will be paid by the Reinsurer.

 

Article 7 - Treaty Profit Commission

 

As at the end of each calendar quarter after the commencement date of the Agreement, the Ceding Office will prepare a Treaty Profit Commission Account (referred to throughout the remainder of this Article as “the Account”) setting out details of the experience under the Agreement. The Account will cover the period since the date of the previous calculation or the commencement date of the Agreement if no previous calculation has been carried out.

 

The Account will be prepared in the following form:

 

(A)                    INCOME

 

(1)                        The Reserve brought forward from the previous period, equal to item (B) (4) for the previous period.

 

(2)                        Reinsurance Premiums due during the period covered by the Account.

 

(3)                        50% of the interest earned by the Reinsurer on the Reserve (reduced by the reserve for any outstanding claims and by any loss brought forward under the Account) during the period covered by the Account, calculated at the rate of three months LIBOR.

 

(B)                      EXPENSES

 

(1)                        Claims and other amounts, as provided for in Article 8, paid during the period covered by the Account.

 

(2)                        Reinsurance Commission and Additional Reinsurance Commission due during the period covered by the Account.

 

(3)                        25% of the Additional Reinsurance Commission as the Reinsurer’s expense margin.

 

(4)                        The Reserve at the close of the period covered by the Account.

 

(5)                        Any loss brought forward from the previous Account.

 

7



 

If the total Income (as set out in (A) above) exceeds the total Expenses (as set out in (B) above) the Reinsurer will pay 100% of such excess to the Ceding Office as a commission (“Treaty Profit Commission”).

 

If the total Expenses exceeds the total Income, the Reinsurer will have the right to recover this amount from Treaty Profit Commissions paid to the Ceding Office in previous Accounts. If, after reducing the Expenses by the amount so recovered, the total Expenses still exceeds the total Income such excess will be carried forward to the next Account as item (B) (5).

 

If, after the calculation and settlement of the Treaty Profit Commission for any period a claim is admitted, denied or settled for an amount different to that shown in the Account then the Account will be recalculated and any necessary adjustment to the Treaty Profit Commission already paid will be settled as soon as possible by the debtor party.

 

Article 8 - Claims

 

The Reinsurer will pay 95% of the liability for death claims under the business covered (“Claims”).  If a Claim is settled for less than the full sum insured the Reinsurer’s liability will be reduced pro rata.  The Claim shall be deemed to be incurred on the date that the Ceding Office releases the reserve liability for the Policy and sets up a claim liability on its books.

 

The Reinsurer will be bound by the decision of the Ceding Office in respect of the admission of a Claim under a Policy reinsured hereunder.

 

In the event of a Claim occurring during the period allowed by the Ceding Office as days of grace for payment of premiums, the Reinsurer will follow the practice of the Ceding Office in paying the claim amount due. Where the Ceding Office pays interest on a Claim hereunder the Reinsurer will be liable for a proportionate share of such interest payments.

 

The Reinsurer will not participate in any way in any policy loan the Ceding Office may make under the Business Covered.

 

If a Policy is discontinued in circumstances (other than on death)where the Ceding Office is required to make a payment to the insured policyholder, the Reinsurer will pay to the Ceding Office the mathematical reserves held in respect of the Policy on the books of the Reinsurer for the purposes of complying with the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 as and when the payment falls due.

 

Article 9 - Documentation

 

The Ceding Office agrees to provide, at the request of the Reinsurer, copies of proposals and any supporting papers in respect of any risk reinsured.

 

8



 

Article 10 - Currency

 

All amounts referred to and all Statements of Account under this Agreement shall be in British Pounds.

 

The introduction of the euro shall not have the effect of altering any term of the Agreement or of discharging or excusing performance under the Agreement, nor will it give a party the right unilaterally to alter or terminate the Agreement.

 

Article 11 - Statements of Account

 

The Ceding Office will prepare and submit to the Reinsurer statements of account setting out details of all items due under the Agreement within 30 days of the close of each calendar quarter in the form shown in Annex 3.  The balance due under such statement of account will be settled by the debtor party within 30 days of receipt of such statement.

 

Should any discrepancies be revealed in the account they will be investigated and any necessary adjustments will be reflected in the next account.

 

In the event that such account balance has not been paid by the debtor party in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11 then interest will be due on the said balance.  The interest will be payable in respect of the period from the due date of the account balance to the date of settlement and will be at an annual rate equal to the Barclays Bank Base Lending Rate plus 3%.  Interest will also be due at the same rate on any other amounts which remain unpaid for the period from one month after the date on which the said amount became due up to the date of settlement.

 

In the event that the debtor party does not agree with such account, the debtor party shall notify the other party immediately.  The undisputed sum will be payable and shall accrue interest in accordance with the above.  The party shall in good faith seek to agree the disputed sum.  In the event that the Parties fail to reach agreement the matter shall be dealt with in accordance with Article 18.

 

Article 12 - Run-off

 

In the event that the Agreement is terminated under Article 2, the Business Covered shall go into Run-off from the effective date of termination.  The Reinsurer will remain liable for all cessions existing at the date of termination ending when the Ceding Office certifies to the Reinsurer in writing that all risks under the Policies have expired and all valid Claims under the Policies have been finalised and that no further Reserves are required.

 

Termination will not affect the business previously ceded under this Agreement and the obligations of the Parties shall continue hereunder in respect of such business.

 

9



 

The Parties will continue to comply with their duties and obligations under this Agreement during the Run-off period. Articles 4 , 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 18 and 19 shall survive termination.

 

Article 13 - Right of Set-Off

 

Any and all obligations, whether contingent or uncontingent, matured or unmatured, owed by either the Reinsurer or Ceding Office to the other party, with respect to the Agreement may be set off against any such obligations (which shall be deemed to be mutual obligations) owed to the Reinsurer or Ceding Office, as the case may be, by the other party, and only the net balance may be allowed or paid. However, in the event of the insolvency of any party hereto, offset shall only be allowed in accordance with applicable law.

 

Article 14 - Expenses

 

All postal and other similar expenses will be paid by the sender.

 

Article 15 - Errors and Omissions

 

Errors and inadvertent omissions shall not affect the rights and obligations of either party under the Agreement, however, they shall be rectified as soon as reasonably practicable upon discovery.  No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, remedy, or power under the Agreement and no course of dealing between the parties shall be construed or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any other right, remedy or power.

 

Any waiver of a breach of any of the terms of the Agreement or of any default hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Agreement.

 

Article 16 - Inspection of Records

 

The Reinsurer will have the right to inspect the records of the Ceding Office in respect of the Business Covered.  For as long as either party remains under any liability hereunder, the Ceding Office shall, upon request by the Reinsurer, make available for inspection at any reasonable time by such representatives as may be authorised by the Reinsurer for that purpose, all information relating to the business covered hereunder which is in the Ceding Office’s possession or under its control.  The said representatives may arrange for copies to be made of any of the records containing such information as they may require.

 

The Reinsurer (and its representatives) will keep confidential any information or copy documentation it acquires as a result of any inspection.  Unless agreed to by the Ceding Office (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld), the Reinsurer will not disclose the information to any person other than its regulators, professional advisors, its

 

10



 

employees and agents, employees of affiliates and then only as required by law or on a “need to know” basis.

 

Article 17 - Conditions Precedent

 

The Reinsurer offers the reinsurance on the basis of information supplied to it by the Ceding Office. The Ceding Office warrants that the information supplied is, to the best of its knowledge and belief, correct and is an accurate summary of its records and that these accurately reflect the liabilities undertaken by the Ceding Office.  In the event that any material differences emerge from the information supplied by the Ceding Office, any dispute will be referred to an arbitration in accordance with Article 18.

 

Both Parties hereby represent and warrant as follows:

 

That they are duly incorporated under the laws of England and are duly authorised to conduct insurance business in the United Kingdom.

 

That both Parties have all requisite power, authority, and legal capacity to enter into the Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  All acts required to be taken by the respective Parties to authorise the execution and delivery of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and properly taken.

 

The execution and delivery of the Agreement, performance of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and fulfilment of the terms hereof, do not conflict with or violate in any material respects any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgement, injunction, decree or award binding on either party or their organisational documents or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which either Party is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien in, of or on the property of either Party pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement.

 

No order, consent, approval, license, authorisation, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorise, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Agreement.

 

The accounting treatment for the Agreement is consistent with applicable regulatory standards.

 

Each Parties obligations under the Agreement constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the other Party in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation, moratorium and similar

 

11



 

laws and judicial decisions of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

 

In addition, the Reinsurer shall maintain the solvency margin required by laws and shall advise the Ceding Office if at any time its solvency margin falls below that required.

 

Article 18 - Arbitration

 

The Ceding Office and the Reinsurer intend to follow the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry in the operation of and interpretation of the Agreement. The parties agree to act in all things with the highest good faith.

 

In the event of any dispute or differences arising under or in connection with the Agreement including those pertaining to its validity, the dispute will be referred to three Arbitrators, one to be appointed by each party and the third to be appointed by the two appointed Arbitrators.

 

If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an Arbitrator within 28 days after the other party has appointed an Arbitrator and has served notice upon the first mentioned party requiring that party to make such an appointment, then the Arbitrator appointed as aforesaid will, at the request of the party appointing him, proceed to hear and determine the dispute as a sole Arbitrator.

 

The two Arbitrators (if both parties have duly appointed Arbitrators) will in writing appoint the third Arbitrator and, unless they appoint the third Arbitrator within one calendar month after the date of the appointment as Arbitrator of whichever of them has last been appointed, the Third Arbitrator will be appointed by the Chairman for the time being of the Bar Council.    The Tribunal shall be constituted upon the appointment of the third Arbitrator.

 

The arbitration will be held in London and will be conducted in accordance with the ARIAS (UK) Arbitration Rules.

 

The cost of the reference and award will be in the discretion of the Arbitrators or sole Arbitrator who may direct to and by whom and in what manner the same or any part thereof will be paid with power to tax or settle the amount of the costs to be so paid or any part thereof.

 

The Arbitrators appointed by the parties or any sole Arbitrator will be persons who hold (or have held) leading positions in Companies transacting Life Insurance and/or Life Reinsurance and will be persons with not less than ten years’ experience in that field.  The third Arbitrator will be a Queen’s Counsel who has not less than ten years’ experience in the insurance or reinsurance field.  The Arbitrators or any sole Arbitrator will regard the Agreement from the standpoint of practical business and will interpret its provisions

 

12



 

according to an equitable rather than a strict legal interpretation and their award will have regard to these principles.

 

This agreement to submit disputes to arbitration will be construed as a separate and independent contract between the parties hereto.

 

Article 19 - Governing Law

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

 

Article 20 - Alterations to the Agreement

 

Any alterations which may from time to time become necessary to the Agreement (including the Annexes thereto) will be made by Addendum embodying such alterations as may be agreed upon and will be regarded as part of the Agreement and equally binding.  In the event of any dispute, this will be subject to arbitration on the basis set down in Article 18 of the Agreement.

 

Article 21 - Rights of Third Parties

 

For the purpose of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 nothing in the Agreement is intended to confer any benefit on any third party and no term in the Agreement is intended to be enforceable by any person who is not a party to the Agreement.

 

Article 22 - Miscellaneous

 

All notices to be provided pursuant to the Agreement shall be given in writing by recorded delivery post and with appropriate postage paid, or by personal delivery, or by overnight courier service to the addresses set out below for each respective party; provided that, if any party gives notice of a change of name or address or number, notices to that party shall thereafter be given as demanded in the notice.  All notices so given shall be effective upon the date of receipt by the parties to whom notice is given, except notice by post which shall be deemed delivered three days after deposit in the mail:

This policy protects you in the event of your death, disability, unemployment, accidental bodily injury or if you have to go into hospital, and for the loss and/or damage of the insured property and price protection, providing you meet the eligibility requirements in Section 1 and have agreed to pay the monthly premium for this insurance.

SECTION 1 - Eligibility

 

1.                                       You are covered under this policy if on the start date:

 

                  for purchase protection and price protection, you are 18 and over but under 85; and

 

                  for life cover, you are 18 and over but under 70; and

 

17



 

                  for accidental death cover, you are aged 70 or over but under 85; and

 

                  for disability and unemployment cover, you are 18 or over but under 65 and you are working when you apply; and

                  for hospitalisation cover, you are aged 65 or over, or are permanently retired but under 70; and

 

                  for all cover, you have agreed to pay the monthly premium for cover and we have accepted your application.

 

2.                                       You must not be aware of:

 

                  any sickness, disease, condition or injury in the 12 months before the start date that may cause you to claim for disability benefits; or

 

                  any sickness, disease, condition or injury that may cause you to claim for accidental bodily injury, hospitalisation, life or accidental death benefits; or

 

                  any impending unemployment.

 

If you are aware of any of the events in 2 above we may still insure you. However we will not pay benefits directly relating to that unemployment or sickness, disease, condition or injury which you were aware of in the 12 months before the start date for disability or at any time before the start date for accidental bodily injury, hospitalisation, life or accidental death

 

3.                                       If two people apply for this cover only the first named on the credit agreement will be covered.

 

4.                                       If you do not meet the eligibility requirements outlined above at the start date, and have a partner who fulfils the eligibility requirements at the start date then the partner may claim for life, accidental death disability, unemployment, accidental bodily injury and hospitalisation benefits. You will  then be ineligible to claim.

 

5.                                       If you are eligible for purchase protection, price protection, life, disability and unemployment cover at the start date and you reach 65 years of age or permanently retire you will no longer be eligible for disability or unemployment cover. You will then be eligible for purchase protection, life, accidental bodily injury and hospitalisation cover.

 

6.                                       When you reach 70 years of age you will no longer be eligible for life or hospitalisation cover.  You will then be eligible for purchase protection, price protection, accidental death and accidental bodily injury cover.

 

7.                                       For purchase protection and price protection cover, if you give the insured property as a gift you may make a claim on behalf of the person who received the gift. If this happens reference to you will refer to the person who received the gift.
