To the extent that the Agreement or any Other Document provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Liabilities or any agreement or instrument otherwise that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and/or any Other Document and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania with respect to any suit arising out of or relating to this Fourth Amendment.

Average gross settlement and defense costs per claim resolved (in 000’s)

   $ 31.99     $ 19.10  

 

  (1)

Included as “open claims” are approximately 749 and 666 claims in 2020 and 2019, respectively, classified in various jurisdictions as “inactive” or transferred to a state or federal judicial panel on multi-district litigation, commonly referred to as MDL.

  (2)

Increase in first quarter of 2020 over prior period is principally due to a high volume of settlement documents received in 2020 for cases settled in 2019 but paid in first quarter of 2020.

A substantial majority of the settlement and defense costs reflected in the above table was reported and paid by insurers. Because claims are often filed and can be settled or dismissed in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
