What is a Coinsurance Agreement?

A coinsurance agreement is a contract between a company owner and insurance company where they agree to share the cost of a claim. In other words, this agreement establishes how much an insurance company will pay, and how much the company's copay will be. Sometimes, companies choose to share their liability with employees for each covered event, which results in a shared cost between these two parties, as well. When this is the case, the coinsurance agreement also details how these charges will work.

Overall, the coinsurance agreement serves to ensure that both parties understand their financial obligation. It also provides recourse when one party fails to pay their part.

With respect to each of the Policies, the amount of reinsurance hereunder shall be maintained in force without reduction so long as the Policy remains in force without reduction.  If there is a reduction with respect to a Policy, Coinsurer’s liability with respect thereto shall be equally reduced.  All coinsurance for which Coinsurer is liable hereunder shall be subject to the same rates, terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as are contained in the Policy.
 
3.5 Reimbursement. On and after the Coinsurance Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Coinsurer shall bear and shall have responsibility for promptly reimbursing the Company for all payments the Company makes (or since the Coinsurance Effective Date, has made) in satisfaction of contractual liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Policies.
 
3.6 Coinsurer Directions. The Company shall comply with all reasonable legal directions from the Coinsurer on all matters affecting the Coinsurer’s obligations with respect to the Policies; provided that the Coinsurer shall indemnify and defend the Company in connection therewith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Coinsurer shall be entitled to the right to review and audit any claims administered by the Company.  The Company shall exercise reasonable care to ensure that all claims are properly administered pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Policy language and applicable state statutes and other applicable guidance.
 
3.7 Duration of Coinsurance; Recapture; Breakup Fee.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the coinsurance provided under this Agreement shall remain continuously in force.   All of the Policies are eligible for recapture, subject to written notice by either party to the other party and the Louisiana Department of Insurance.  The recapture shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such notice, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing.  Both the Company and the Coinsurer shall have the right to require the recapture of the Policies by the Company.  Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing, any recapture shall apply to 100% of all of the Policies.  If the Company elects to recapture the Policies, the Company shall pay the Coinsurer a breakup fee of five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Break Up Fee”) within fifteen days (15) of the effective date of the recapture; provided, however, if the Shareholders terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to (a) Section 9.01(c)(i), or (b) Section 9.01(c)(ii), and in the case of this clause (b), all of the conditions to Coinsurer’s obligations to consummate the transactions under Section 7.02 of the Stock Purchase Agreement have been satisfied (other than: (i) breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement by any Shareholder or the Company that are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) the failure of the Louisiana Department of Insurance to approve the transaction contemplated pursuant to this Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement where such failure was not due to any material action, inaction, or omission by or on behalf of the Shareholders or the Company or (iii) any such conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied by the date of Closing (as such term is defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)), then the Company shall not be responsible for paying the Break Up Fee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stock Purchase Agreement has been approved by the Louisiana Department of Insurance and the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement has occurred in accordance with Section 2.04 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Policies may be recaptured by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and without payment of the Break Up Fee.
 
3.8 Experience Refund.  If the calculations set forth in Section 3.8.1 of this Article produce a positive amount, the Coinsurer will pay to the Company a certain experience refund (each, an “Experience Refund”).  If the operation of the formula described in Section 3.8.1 of this Article should produce a loss for any accounting period after the Coinsurance Effective Date, such amount will be carried forward with interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and charged against future gains.   If the cumulative sum of gains and losses is negative, the Company will pay to the Coinsurer, on demand, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the absolute value of such cumulative sum of gains and losses, plus (ii) the accrued interest thereon, plus (iii) the total amount of all Experience Refunds.
 
 
3.8.1
 
 
Experience Refund Formula.  The Experience Refund gain (or loss, if negative) for the then current accounting period will be calculated as follows (all amounts shall be net of the amounts allocated to Existing Reinsurance Coverage):
 

(i)
the premiums earned on the Policies for the period in question; plus

(ii)
the investment income earned by the assets held in trust in relation to the Policies for the period in question; plus

(iii)
the total amount of the reserves on the last day of the preceding accounting period on the Policies reinsured hereunder and then in force under this Agreement; minus

(iv)
the total amount of reserves on the last day of the current accounting period on the Policies reinsured hereunder and then in force under this Agreement; minus

(v)
the actual commission and administrative and support service expenses incurred in relation to the Policies for the period in question; minus

(vi)
the premium tax incurred on the Policies for the period in question; minus

any benefits incurred on the Policies for the period in question, in accordance with the applicable terms of the Policies.
 
3.8.2
 
 
The Experience Refund for each accounting period shall equal 97% of the gain so calculated pursuant to Section 3.8.1.
 

3.9 Parties to Coinsurance.  This Agreement provides for indemnity reinsurance solely between the Company and Coinsurer.  The acceptance of reinsurance under this Agreement shall not create any right or legal relation between the Coinsurer and any Policyholder under a Policy, and the Company shall be and remain solely liable to such Policyholder under the Policy.

My clients are often small and medium size technology companies, from the "idea" stage to clients who may have raised a round or three of capital and need to clean up a messy cap table. I help with all legal matters related to growth that keep founders up at night - hiring people, allocating equity, dealing with shareholders and investors, client negotiations and early litigation counseling (before you need a litigator). I've seen a lot, and because I run my own business, I understand the concerns that keep you up at night. I’ve been through, both on my own and through other clients, the “teething” pains that will inevitably arise as you scale-up – and I’m here to help you. I have over 20 years international experience devising and implementing robust corporate legal strategies and governance for large multinationals. I now focus on start-ups and early/medium stage technology companies to enable a sound legal foundation for your successful business operations. Many of my clients are international with US based holding companies or presences. My 17 years abroad helps me "translate" between different regimes and even enabling Civil and Common Law lawyers to come together. Regularly, I handle early stage financings including Convertible Notes, Seed and Series A/B financings; commercial and technology contracts; international transactions; tax; mergers and acquisitions.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch.
