Common use of SHARE PARTICIPATION Clause in Contracts

SHARE PARTICIPATION. The aggregate quota share cession shall be at the option of the Company and subject to a maximum of 70%. However, the maximum cession will be limited to $80,000,000 of new written premium (ie.not including in-force cession from December 31st, 2001) for the calendar year 2002. In the event this produces more than $80,000,000 for the calendar year, the dollar amount of cessions shall be reduced to $80,000,000 plus the cession of in-force business from December 31st, 2001. The average quota share percent applicable for the Company shall be the ratio of the adjusted dollar cession to the gross subject written premium for the Company for that year. Each quarter shall be adjusted by an equal pro-rata percent to produce the dollar cession applicable. This limit can be increased by mutual agreement between the Reinsurer and the Company. The Company shall notify the Reinsurer prior to the last day of the calendar quarter of the quota share percent for that quarter. That percent shall also apply to the in-force business at the beginning of the quarter. It is agreed that the cession for any one quarter, including the change in in-force, shall not exceed 35% of the total cession for the calendar year. In the event the declared percent cession for a calendar quarter produces premiums in excess of 35% of the premium ceded for the calendar year the cessions for that quarter shall be adjusted to the dollar amount that would equal 35% of the premium ceded for the year. The Reinsurer's liability for aggregate losses, including allocated loss adjustment expenses (and unallocated loss adjustment expenses where applicable under REPORTS AND ACOCUNTING), shall be limited to 97% of earned premium ceded for all business from January 1st, 2002 to the calculation date.
