ARTICLE 7

PORTFOLIO CONSIDERATION

7.1 COMMENCEMENT OF THE REINSURANCE.

The Reinsurers shall assume liability for their proportion of:

7.1.1 All cessions in force at the commencement of this Agreement in consideration


of a premium portfolio calculated by applying the system specified in the
Schedule (Item 8) to the premium net of commission appearing in the

NIB INSURANCE CO. – 2022/23 MISCELLANEOUS ACCIDENT SURPLUS TREATY

14
AFRICAN REINSURANCE CORPORATION

7.2.1 A premium portfolio calculated by applying the system specified in The


Schedule (Item 8) to the premium net of commission appearing in the
accounts (excluding premiums for monthly business) for the four quarters
preceding the date at which this Agreement terminates; and

7.2.2 A loss portfolio amounting to the percentage specified in The Schedule (Item
8) of all the losses outstanding as at the date of termination, thereby relieving
the Reinsurers of any further liability thereof. This loss portfolio is subject to
adjustment in accordance with paragraph 7.3 of this Article.

7.3 ADJUSTMENT

The Reinsured shall effect at a later date an adjustment to the amounts credited or debited in
terms of paragraph 7.1.2 and 7.2.2 above if such adjustment is warranted, the intention being
that as far as practicable, no one Reinsurer shall be disadvantaged as compared with another
Reinsurer.

7.4 DISPUTED LOSS

Nevertheless and notwithstanding the foregoing, any loss or losses occasioned by a


catastrophe or which may be the subject of dispute or any loss or losses where the Reinsured
is unable to determine a reasonable estimate of liability, shall be excluded from the
abovementioned transactions and any liability in respect thereof shall be borne by the
Reinsurers on risk at the time of the occurrence as and when liability and/or quantum have
been determined.

7.5 CHANGE OF REINSURERS SHARES

7.3 and 7.4 shall be applied.

ARTICLE 8

COMMISSION. The Reinsurers shall pay to the Reinsured commission and profit commission
as specified in the Schedule (Items 9 and 10). In the event of this Agreement being terminated
on a run-off basis the final profit commission will only be calculated after all claims have been

15
AFRICAN REINSURANCE CORPORATION

9.2 CLAIMS CO-OPERATION

A further condition precedent to the Reinsurer’s obligation to pay is that the Reinsured shall, on
the Reinsurer’s request, co-operate with the Reinsurer in the adjustment and settlement of
claims. In particular, the Reinsurer may require that the Reinsured, after consultation with the
Reinsurer, appoint a recognised firm of independent loss adjusters and that it be kept informed
of the progress of the settlement and/or be given an opportunity to take part, at its own expense,
in the settlement of the claim by delegating a duly authorised representative.

9.3 EX-GRATIA CLAIMS PAYMENTS

The Reinsurer shall not be obliged, unless it has given its prior consent to contribute to loss
payments made by the Reinsured voluntarily, knowing that no obligation to make such
payments exists.

9.4 CASH LOSSES. If a claim (this is not applicable to claims estimates) on the
Reinsurers exceeds the amount specified in the Schedule (Item 11), the
Reinsured is entitled to payment within ten working days upon receipt of written request for the
amount due by the Reinsurers in terms of this Agreement in respect of that claim (subject to
Set-Off terms as specified in Article 12.

However, it is a condition precedent to the Reinsurer’s duty to pay within such time limit, that the
Reinsured shall prove that it has paid or is about to pay the insured in respect of the relevant
insurance loss and that the Reinsured shall provide the Reinsurer with all related facts, legal
assessment and adjusting reports, unless the Reinsurer expressly waives such rights of

request to this effect from the other. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the members of the panel
of arbitration shall be knowledgeable and experienced in insurance or reinsurance matters, holding or
having held managerial positions in the industry.

Each party may nominate one arbitrator. In the event of one party failing to appoint an arbitrator within
four weeks of being requested in writing by the other party to do so, the second arbitrator shall be
appointed by the President of the Chamber of Commerce at the seat of the party not in default. Before
entering upon the arbitration, the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator who shall be

President of the Chamber of Commerce at the seat of the defendant party. If one of the arbitrators is
unable to participate for any reason, his successor shall be appointed in accordance with the
procedure described above.

An arbitrator may only be objected to if there are legitimate doubts about his professional or personal
suitability. A party may only object to the arbitrator it has nominated itself if the grounds for the
objection were not known to it before his appointment. Objection to an arbitrator, with details of the

panel or within two weeks of the party gaining knowledge of the circumstances that lead to the
objection. If the arbitrator in question does not withdraw from the panel or the other party does not
agree to his removal, the decision on the objection shall be made by the other two members of the
panel, without the arbitrator in question.

The panel of arbitration shall meet at the seat of the defendant party.

The panel of arbitration shall have the power to fix all procedural rules and shall not be bound by
formal rules of legal procedure. It shall decide by simple majority vote; if no majority can be reached,
the verdict of the third arbitrator shall prevail. The panel of arbitration is required to decide primarily in
accordance with reinsurance custom. It shall make its award in writing within six months following the
appointment of the third arbitrator.

The costs of the arbitration shall be awarded to one or both parties in the manner the panel of
arbitration considers to be fair.

Each party undertakes to comply with the award of the panel of arbitration without delay and, where it
is permitted to do so, waives its right to take any further legal action to contest the award. With regard
to the enforcement of the award, each party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in any
territory in which the party in default is domiciled or has assets or conducts business.

ARTICLE 22

ALTERATIONS. This Agreement may at any time be altered by agreement between the parties. Such

when and to the extent that such payments are actually received by the Reinsurer.

“sliding scale” basis:-

Commission Loss Ratio

Provisional Commission: 25%

The commission calculation shall be submitted to the Reinsurer within six weeks of the last day of the
treaty year in question and the difference between the provisional; commission and the adjusted
commission shall thereupon become payable by the debtor party.

In the event of cancellation of this Agreement on a run-off basis, then a further calculation shall be
done at the end of the second year and a further adjustment of the commission for the year shall then
be made, and a similar

calculation and adjustment shall be made at the end of each year thereafter, until such time as any
outstanding claims brought into such calculation shall fall below an amount of R* in which event the
calculation and adjustment at the end of that year shall be final.

For the purpose of applying the sliding scale:


“Loss ratio” shall mean the percentage of “Incurred Claims” to “Earned Premiums”

“Incurred Claims” shall mean claims paid during the treaty year plus the reserve for outstanding
claims at the end of the treaty year less the Reinsurer’s reserve for outstanding claims at the
end of the previous treaty year.

“Earned Premiums” shall mean premiums paid by the Reinsured under this Agreement for the
treaty year less the premium reserve for the treaty year calculated on the “eighths” system as

Appendix No. 2

attaching to and forming part of The Schedule

Profit Commission

The Reinsurers shall pay the Reinsured a Profit Commission at the rate stated in The Schedule on the
Profit derived by the Reinsurers from the operation of this Agreement. The profit shall be calculated as
follows:

Items of Income

a) Premium Reserve (at the rate stated in The Schedule) from the previous year. On Entry
into the Premium Portfolio this Item shall be replaced by the corresponding Premium
Portfolio credited to the Reinsurer.

b) Premiums for the current year.

c) Reinsurer’s claims outstanding as at the close of the previous year. On Entry into the
Loss Portfolio this Item shall be replaced by the corresponding Loss Portfolio credited to
the Reinsurer.

Items of Outgo

a) Premium Reserve (at the rate stated in The Schedule) for the current year. On
Withdrawal of the Premium Portfolio this Item shall be replaced by the corresponding
Premium Portfolio debited to the Reinsurer.

b) Commission paid by the Reinsurer on Item b) of Income.

c) Reinsurer’s claims paid during the current year.

d) Reinsurer’s claims outstanding as at the close of the current year. On Withdrawal of the
Loss Portfolio this Item shall be replaced by the corresponding Loss Portfolio debited to
the Reinsurer.

e) Reinsurer’s Expenses at the rate stated in The Schedule.

The difference between the Items of Income and Items of Outgo shall be the Profit or Deficit for the
year.

Profit Commission shall be payable on the Profit for the year; should a Deficit arise no Profit
Commission will be payable and the Deficit shall be against Profit arising in subsequent years until that
Deficit or the accumulation of Deficits shall be extinguished by Profit, whereupon the payment of Profit
Commission shall be resumed on the remaining Profit and on Profit for subsequent years, until a
Deficit should again arise.

The Profit of Deficit for the year shall be ascertained by the Reinsured as at the last day of each treaty
year, the Profit Commission Statement to be submitted within three months of that day and any Profit

Commission due to be reflected in the next quarterly account, or at the option of the Reinsured, paid
by the Reinsurer on submission of the Profit Commission Statement.

On cancellation of this Agreement the Profit of Deficit for the year shall be ascertained as at the date of
cancellation but the final Profit Commission calculation shall only be made after all liability under this
Contract shall have been discharged.

Either party shall have the right at any time to request the re-calculation of the Profit or Deficit for any
year should it be found that by under or over providing for outstanding claims, the Profit Commission
paid was inaccurate.
