FHCF Reimbursement Premiums are required of all Companies based on their writingCovered Policies in Florida as of June 30, and each Company’s FHCF coverage as based on die  definition in Section 2I5.555(2)(m), Florida Statutes, shall exist for die entirety of the Contract Yearregardless of exposure changes, except as provided for New Participants under Article X.  (3) Since the calculation of the Actuarially Indicated Premium assumes that the Companies will pay  their Reimbursement Premiums timely, interest charges will accrue under the followingcircumstances, A Company may choose to estimate its own Premium installments. However, if theCompany’s estimation is less than the provisional Premium billed, an interest charge will accrue onthe difference between the estimated Premium and the final Premium, If a Company estimates itsfirst installment, the Administrator shall bill that estimated Premium as the second installment aswell, which will be considered as an estimate by the Company. No interest will accrue regarding anyprovisional Premium if paid as billed by the FHCF’s Administrator, except in the case of anestimated second installment as set forth in this Article. Also, if a Company makes an estimation thatis higher than the provisional Premium billed but is less than the final Premium, interest will notaccrue. If the Premium payment is not received from a Company when it is due, an interest chargewill accrue on a daily basis until the payment is received. Interest will also accrue on Premiumsresulting from submissions or resubmissions finalized after December 1 of the Contract Year. Aninterest credit will be applied for any Premium which is overpaid as either an estimate or as aprovisional Premium. Interest shall not be credited past December1 of the Contract Year. Theapplicable interest rate for interest credits will be the average rate earned by the SB A for the FHCFfor the first four months of the Contract Year, The applicable interest rate for interest charges willaccrue at this rate plus 5%.  ARTICLE X - REPORTS AND REMITTANCES  (1) Exposures  (a) If the Company writes Covered Policies before June 1 of the Contract Year, the Company shall report to the SBA, unless otherwise provided in Rule19-8.029, F.A.C., no later than the statutorily required date of September1 of the Contract Year, by ZIP Code or other limited geographical area as specified by the SBA, its insured values under Covered Policies as of June 30 of the Contract Year as outlined in tire annual reporting of insured values form, FHCF- D1A (Data Call) adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C., and other data or information in the format specified by the SBA.  (b) If the Company first begins writing Covered Policies on or after June 1 but prior to December 1 of the Contract Year, the Company shall report to the SBA, no later than February 1 of the Contract Year, by ZIP Code or other limited geographical area as specified by the SBA, its insured values under Covered Policies as of November 30 of the Contract Year as outlined in the Supplemental Instructions for New Participants section of the Data Call adopted for the Contract Year under Rule19-8.029, F.A.C., and other data or information in the format specified by the SBA.  (c) If the Company first begins writing Covered Policies on December 1 through and including May 31 of the Contract Year, the Company shall not report its exposure data for the Contract Year to the SBA.  (d) The requirement that a report is due on a certain date means that the report shall be received by the SBA no later than 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.

 Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the actual due date will be the day immediately  I  following the applicable due date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For  purposes of the timeliness of the submission, neither the United States Postal Service postmarknor a postage meter date is in any way determinative.

Failure by such Company to pay the full annual provisional Reimbursement Premium as specified in I, above by the applicable due date(s) shall result in the 45% coverage level being deemed for the complete Contract Year regardless of the level selected for the  l  Company through the execution of this Contract and regardless of whether a hurricane  event occurred or triggered coverage,  3. The provisions required in 1. and 2. above will not apply when tire state regulator, receiver, or rehabilitator provides a letter of assurance to the FHCF that the Company will have the resources and will pay the full Reimbursement Premium for the coverage level selected through the execution of this Contract.  4. When control or oversight has been transferred, in whole or in part, through a legal or regulatory action, the controlling management of the Company shall specify by August 1 or as soon thereafter as possible (but not to exceed two weeks after any regulatory or legal action) in a letter to tire FHCF as to the Company’s intentions to either pay die full FHCF Reimbursement Premium as specified in 1. above, to default to the 45% coverage being deemed as specified in 2. above, or to provide the assurances as specified in 3. above.  (c) A New Participant that first begins writing Covered Policies on or after June 1 but prior to  December 1 of the Contract Year shall pay tine FHCF a provisional Reimbursement Premium of$1,000 upon execution of this Contract. The Administrator shall calculate the Company's actualReimbursement Premium for die period based on its actual exposure as of November 30 of theContract Year, as reported on or before February 1 of the Contract Year. To recognize that NewParticipants have limited exposure during this period, the actual Premium as determined byprocessing the Company's exposure data shall then be divided in half, the provisional Premiumshall be credited, and the resulting amount shall be the total Premium due for the Company forthe remainder of the Contract Year. However, if that amount is less than $1,000, then theCompany shall pay $1,000. The Premium payment is due no later than April 1 of the ContractYear. The Company’s Retention and coverage will be determined based on the total Premiumdue as calculated above.  FHCF-2017K  12  Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

 b. The Company must also submit a Detailed Claims Listing, Form FHCF-DCL, adopted for the Contract Year under Rule 19-8.029, F.A.C., at the same time it submits its first Proof of Loss Report for a specific Covered Event that qualifies the Company for reimbursement under that Covered Event, and should be prepared to supply a Detailed Claims Listing for any subsequent Proof of Loss Report upon request.  c. While the Company may submit a Proof of Loss Report requesting reimbursement at any time following a Covered Event, the Company shall submit a mandatory Proof of Loss Report for each Covered Event no earlier than December1 and no later than December 31 of the Contract Year during which the Covered Event occurs using the most current data available, regardless of the amount of Ultimate Net Loss or the amount of reimbursements or advances already received.  d. For the Proof of Loss Reports due by December 31 of the Contract Year, and the required subsequent quarterly and annual reports required under subparagraphs 3. and  4. below, the Company shall submit its Proof of Loss Reports by each quarter-end oryear-end using the most current data available. However, the date of such data shall notbe more than sixty days prior to the applicable quarter-end or year-end date,  3. Updated Proof of Loss Reports for each Covered Event are due quarterly thereafter until all Losses resulting from a Covered Event are fully discharged including any adjustments to such Losses due to salvage or other recoveries, or the Company has received its full coverage under the Contract Year in which the Covered Event occurred. Guidelines follow:  a. Quarterly Proof of Loss Reports are due by March 31 from a Company whose Losses exceed, or are expected to exceed, 50% of its FHCF Retention for a specific Covered Event.  b. Quarterly Proof of Loss Reports are due by June 30 from a Company whose Losses exceed, or are expected to exceed, 75% of its FHCF Retention for a specific Covered Event.  c. Quarterly Proof of Loss Reports are due by September 30 and quarterly thereafter from a Company whose Losses exceed, or are expected to exceed, its FHCF Retention for a specific Covered Event.  If the Company’s Retention must be recalculated as the result of an exposure resubmission,and if the recalculated Retention changes the FHCF’s reimbursement obligations, then theCompany shall submit additional Proof of Loss Reports for recalculation of the FHCF’sobligations.  4. Annually after December 31 of the Contract Year, all Companies shall submit a mandatory year-end Proof of Loss Report for each Covered Event, as applicable, using the most current data available, accompanied by a Detailed Claims Listing.

The SB A, except as noted below, will determine and pay, within 30 days or as soon as practicable after receiving Proof of Loss Reports, the reimbursement amount due based on Losses paid by the Company to date and adjustments to this amount based on subsequent quarterly information. The adjustments to reimbursement amounts shall require the SBA to pay, or the Company to return, amounts reflecting the most recent determination of Losses,  a. The SBA shall have the right to consult with all relevant regulatory agencies to seek all relevant information, and shall consider any other factors deemed relevant, prior to the issuance of reimbursements.  FHCF-2017K  14  Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C. 

 b.

All Proof of Loss Reports received will be compared with the FHCF’s exposure data to establish the facial reasonableness of the reports. The SBA may also review the results of current and prior Contract Year exposure and loss examinations to determine the reasonableness of the reported Losses. Except as noted in paragraph 4, above. Companies meeting these tests for reasonableness will be scheduled for reimbursement. Companies not meeting these tests for reasonableness will be handled on a case-by-case basis and will be contacted to provide specific information regarding their individual book of business. The discovery of errors in a Company’s reported exposure under the Data Call may require a resubmission of the current Contract Year Data Call which, as the Data Call impacts the Company’s Premium, Retention, and coverage for the Contract Year, will be required before the Company’s request for reimbursement or an advance will be fully processed by the Administrator.  (c) Loss Reimbursement Calculations  1. In general, the Company’s paid Ultimate Net Losses must exceed its full FHCF Retention for a specific Covered Event before any reimbursement is payable from the FHCF for that Covered Event. As described in Article V(28)(b), Retention adjustments will be made on or after January 1 of the Contract Year. No interest is payable on additional payments to the Company due to this type of Retention adjustment, Each Company, including entities created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes, incurring reimbursable Losses will receive the amount of reimbursement due under the individual Company’s Contract up to the amount of tire Company’s payout. If more than one Covered Event occurs in any one Contract Year, any reimbursements due from the FHCF shall take into account the Company’s Retention for each Covered Event. However, the Company’s reimbursements from tire FHCF for all Covered Events occurring during the Contract Year shall not exceed, in aggregate, the Projected Payout Multiple or Payout Multiple, as applicable, tunes the individual Company’s Reimbursement Premium for the Contract Year,  2. Reserve established. When a Covered Event occurs in a subsequent Contract Year when reimbursable Losses are still being paid for a Covered Event in a previous Contract Year, the SBA will establish a reserve for the outstanding reimbursable Losses for the previous Contract Year, based on the length of time the Losses have been outstanding, the amount of Losses already paid, the percentage of incurred Losses still unpaid, and any other factors specific to the loss development of the Covered Events involved.  (d) Commutation  1. Not less than 36 months or more than 60 months after the end of the Contract Year, the Company shall file a final Proof of Loss Report(s), with the exception of Companies having no reportable Losses as described in paragraph (3)(d)l.a. below. Otherwise, the final Proof of Loss Report(s) is required as specified in paragraph (3)(d)l.b. below. The Company and SBA may mutually agree to initiate commutation after 36 months and prior to 60 months after the end of the Contract Year, The commutation negotiations shall begin at the later of  60 months after the end of the Contract Year or upon completion of the FHCF lossexamination for the Company and the resolution of all outstanding examination issues.  FHCF-2017K  15  Rule 19-8.01 OF.A.C. 

 a. If the Company’s most recently submitted Proof of Loss Report(s) indicates that it has no Losses resulting from Covered Events during the Contract Year, the SB A shall after  36 months request that the Company execute a final commutation agreement. The finalcommutation agreement shall constitute a complete and final release of all obligations ofthe SB A with respect to Losses. If the Company chooses not to execute a finalcommutation agreement, the SBA shall be released from all obligations60 monthsfollowing the end of the Contract Year if no Proof of Loss Report indicatingreimbursable Losses had been filed and tire commutation shall be deemed concluded.However during this time, if the Company determines that it does have Losses to reportfor FHCF reimbursement, the Company must submit an updated Proof of Loss Reportprior to the end of 60 months after the Contract Year and the Company shall be requiredto follow the commutation provisions and time frames otherwise specified in thissection.  b. If the Company has submitted a Proof of Loss Report indicating that it does have Losses  resulting from a Covered Event during the Contract Year1, the SBA may require theCompany to submit within 30 days an updated, current Proof of Loss Report for eachCovered Event during the Contract Year. The Proof of Loss Report must include all paid  Losses as well as all outstanding Losses and incurred but not reported Losses, which arenot finally settled and which may be reimbursable Losses under this Contract, and mustbe accompanied by supporting documentation (at a minimum an adjuster’s summary  report or equivalent details) and a copy of a written opinion on the present value of theoutstanding Losses and incurred but not reported Losses by the Company’s certifyingactuary. Failure of the Company to provide an updated current Proof of Loss Report,  supporting documentation, and an opinion by the date requested by the SBA may resultin referral to the Office of Insurance Regulation for a violation of the Contract. Increasesin reported paid, outstanding, or incurred but not reported Losses on original or  corrected Proof of Loss Report filings received later than 60 months after the end of theContract Year shall not be eligible for reimbursement or commutation.  Determining the present value of outstanding Losses.  a. If the Company exceeds or expects to exceed its Retention, the Company and tire SBA or their respective representatives shall attempt, by mutual agreement, to agree upon the present value of all outstanding Losses, both reported and inclined but not reported, resulting from Covered Events during the Contract Year. Payment by the SBA of its portion of any amount or amounts so mutually agreed and certified by the Company’s certifying actuary shall constitute a complete and final release of the SBA in respect of all Losses, both reported and unreported, under this Contract.  b. If agreement on present value cannot be reached within 90 days of the FHCF’s receipt of the final Proof of Loss Report and supporting documentation, the Company and the SBA may mutually appoint an actuary, adjuster, or appraiser to investigate and determine such Losses. If both parties then agree, the SBA shall pay its portion of the amount so determined to be the present value of such Losses.  c. If the parties fail to agree, then any difference shall be settled by a panel of three actuaries, as provided in this paragraph.  i. One actuary shall be chosen by each party, and the third actuary shall be chosen by those two actuaries. If either party does not appoint an actuary within 30 days, the other party may appoint two actuaries. If the two actuaries fail to agree on the selection of an independent third actuary within 30 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall decline one and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.  FHCF-2017K  16  Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C.

Such responses to requests fromthe panel must be in writing and simultaneously provided to the other party and allmembers of the panel, except that the parrel may require the response to be providedin a meeting or teleconference attended by both parties and all members of thepanel,  v. The decision in writing of any two actuaries, when fried with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on both parties.  d. The reasonable and customary expense of tire actuaries and of the commutation (as a result of b. and c. above) shall be equally divided between the two parties. Sard commutation shall take place in Tallahassee, Florida, unless some other place is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the SBA.  (4)  Advances  (a) The SBA may make advances for loss reimbursements as defined herein, at market interest  rates, to the Company in accordance with Section 215.555(4)(e), Florida Statutes. An advanceis an early reimbursement which allows the Company to continue to pay claims in a timelymanner. Advances will be made based on the Company’s paid and reported outstanding Lossesfor Covered Policies (excluding all incurred but not reported Losses) as reported on a Proof ofLoss Report, and shall include Loss Adjustment Expense Reimbursement as calculated by theFHCF. In order to be eligible for an advance, the Company must submit its exposure data forthe Contract Year as required under paragraph(1) of this Article. Except as noted below,advances, if approved, will be made as soon as practicable after the SBA receives a writtenrequest, signed by two officers of the Company, for an advance of a specific amount and anyother information required for the specific type of advance under subparagraphs(c) and(e)below. All reimbursements due to the Company shall be offset against any amount ofoutstanding advances plus the interest due thereon.  (b) For advances or excess advances, which are advances that are in excess of the amount to which  the Company is entitled, the market interest rate shall be the prime rate as published in tire WallStreet Journal on the first business day of the Contract Year. This rate will be adjusted annuallyon the first business day of each subsequent Contract Year, regardless of whether the Companyexecutes subsequent Contracts. In addition to the prime rate, an additional 5% interest chargewill apply on excess advances. All interest charged will commence on the date the SBA issuesa check for an advance and will cease on the date upon which the FHCF has received theCompany’s Proof of Loss Report for the Covered Event for which the Company qualifies forreimbursement. If such reimbursement is less than the amount of outstanding advances issuedto the Company, interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding balance of the advancesuntil subsequent Proof of Loss Reports qualify the Company for reimbursement under anyCovered Event equal to or exceeding the amount of any outstanding advances. Interest shall bebilled on a periodic basis. If it is determined that the Company received funds in excess of thoseto which it was entitled, the interest as to those sums will not cease on the date of the receipt ofthe Proof of Loss Report but will continue until the Company reimburses the FHCF for theoverpayment.  FHCF-2017K  17  Rule 19-8.010 F.A.C. 

 (c) If Hie Company has an outstanding advance balance as of December 31 of this or any other Contract Year, the Company is required to have an actuary certify outstanding and incurred but not reported Losses as reported on the applicable December Proof of Loss Report.  (d) The specific type of advances enumerated in Section 215.555, Florida Statutes, follow. 1.Advances to Companies to prevent insolvency, as defined under Article XIV.  a.

Estimate of other expected liabilities not due to Hie Covered Event; and  v. Amount of reinsurance available to pay claims for the Covered Event under other reinsurance treaties.  c. The SBA’s final decision regarding an application for an advance to prevent insolvency shall be based on wheflier or not, considering Hie totality of the circumstances, including Hie SBA’s obligations to provide reimbursement for ail Covered Events occurring during the Contract Year, granting an advance is essential to allowing the entity to continue to pay additional claims for a Covered Event in a timely manner.  2. Advances to entities created pursuant to Section 627.351 (6), Florida Statutes.  a.

If aresubmission is necessary as a result of an examination report issued by the SBA, the firstresubmission fee will be $2,000. If the Company’s examination-required resubmission is inadequateand the SBA requires an additional resubmission(s), the resubmission fee for each subsequentresubmission shall be $2,000.

 accepted by the Company; any re-opening shall be at the sole discretion of the SBA. If the State Board of  I  L  c  Administration Finance Corporation has issued revenue bonds and relied upon the exposure and Lossdata submitted and certified by the Company as accurate to determine the amount of bonding needed, theSBA may choose not to require, or accept, a resubmission if the resubmission will result in additionalreimbursements to tire Company. The SBA may require any discovered errors, inadvertent omissions,and typographical errors associated with the data reporting of insured values, discovered prior to dieclosing of the file and acceptance of the examination findings by die Company, to be corrected to reflectdie proper values. The Company shall retain its records in accordance with die requirements for recordsretention regarding exposure reports and claims reports outlined herein, and in any administrative rulesadopted pursuant to Section 215.555, Florida Statutes.

However, due to the limited nature of theexamination, it cannot be relied upon as an assurance that a Company’s data is reported accurately orin its entirety. The Company should not rely on the FHCF to identify every type of reporting error inits data. In addition, the reporting requirements are subject to change each Contract Year so it is theCompany’s responsibility to be familiar' with the applicable Contract Year requirements and toincorporate any changes into its data for drat Contract Year.
