  16. Contracts and Insurance

  17. First Party Damage to owned/leased property Resulting Revenue Loss Employee Injury Third Party Damage to property of others Injury to non-employee persons Insurable Risks

  18. Insurance Concepts • Named Insureds: entities to whom the policy is issued; • Automatic Insureds: individuals or entities who are automatically insured under the policy by virtue of their relationship to the named insured; • Additional Insureds: individuals or entities who require insured status in conjunction with a business relationship.

  19. Insurance Concepts • Subrogation: Right of insurer, following payment of a loss to its insured, to assume the rights of the insured to pursue recovery of the payment from a party alleged to have caused or contributed to the loss. • Waiver of Subrogation: Insurer’s agreement to waive its rights of subrogation prior to a loss.

  20. Insurance ConceptsFirst Party Property Risks • Insurable Interest: exists when a party has a capital stake in the covered property (owners, lenders) or has contractually assumed the financial risk of loss to the covered property (contractors, lessees). • Loss Payee: a party entitled to insurance proceeds in connection with the covered property in which it has an insurable interest.

  21. Insurance ConceptsFirst Party Property Risks • Additional Insured: Party with an insurable interest in a portion of the covered property; • ‘…as their interests may appear’: restricts the recovery rights of the additional insured to only the proceeds connected to covered property in which the additional insured has an insurable interest.

  22. Practical Example

  23. ExampleFirst Party Risk(A Power Purchase Agreement) Force Majeure Section: “Seller shall not be responsible for any delay or failure in its performance under this PPA due solely to conditions…of Force Majeure…impacting... the Facility Conditions of Force Majeure shall include…Acts of God…machinerybreakdown…”

  24. ExampleFirst Party Risk Insurance Section: “Seller shall maintain all risk property insurance covering …damage to the Facility and business interruption insurance...sufficient to cover...Purchaser’s continuing or increased expenses for...12 months. Purchaser shall be named as a additional insured and loss payee...”

  25. Practical Considerations First Party Risks Insurable interest establishes beneficiary status under the policy; Contingent risk best left with the owner of that risk; Retained risk (e.g. deductibles) rests with the party at risk of loss; Risk transfers = Cost.

  26. Insurance ConceptsThird Party Risks • Insurance does not provide full indemnity; • Insurance is one vehicle to fund those portions of indemnitor’s obligation subject to policy terms and conditions, limits, and exclusions; • Insurance and indemnity obligations may be construed independently.

  27. Insurance ConceptsThird Party Risks Contractual Liability • Provision in a liability policy that affords coverage for the insured’s costs attributable to the liability of others for third party pd/bi claims assumed under contract. • Indemnitee has no direct rights under the indemnitor’s insurance contract; Insurer’s obligation limited to funding the indemnitor’s costs attributable to the assumed liability. • Invalidation of indemnity relieves the insurer from funding this risk.

  28. Insurance ConceptsThird Party Risks Additional Insured • Indemnitee has direct access to indemnitor’s liability policy; • Insurer has duty to defend the indemnitee as an additional insured subject to the terms and conditions of the policy;

  29. Insurance ConceptsThird Party Risks Additional Insured • Insurance contract may provide the indemnitee with broader protection than the indemnitor intended in the commercial contract. • Invalidation of the indemnity clause in the commercial contract may not impair the indemnitee’s rights under the insurance contract.

  30. Practical Examples

  31. Example Third Party Risk(An EPC Agreement) Indemnity Section “Contractor…indemnifies …Owner…from all [third party] claims…unless arising from the negligence of Owner…”

  32. Example Third Party Risk(An EPC Agreement) Insurance Section “Contractor shall maintain [third party liability] insurance… insuring the contractual liability assumed hereunder, naming Owner as additional insured with respect to the work… such insurance is primary to any liability insurance [of] Owner.”

  33. Example Third Party Risk(An O&M Agreement) Indemnity Section: “Operator shall indemnify Owner…from all [third party] claims…to the extent…caused by... negligent act of Operator, unless solely caused by... negligence of Owner...”

  34. Example Third Party Risk(An O&M Agreement) Insurance Section: “In the event Operator shall be liable for loss under [indemnity] section, the proceeds of insurance policies referred to in [Owner’s insurance] shall first apply to the loss… All [Owner insurance] policies shall include Operator as additional insured...”

  35. Practical Considerations Third party risks in an adverse contracting position: • Offer contractual liability coverage to fund indemnity obligation; • Resist additional insured; consider if commercially necessary; • Consider project specific coverage if counterparty won’t agree to limitation or forces onerous indemnity language; • Risk transfers = Cost

  36. Practical Considerations Third party risks in a favorable contracting position: • Consider full additional insured status; • Consider cost/benefit of additional insured vs. contractual liability option. • Risk transfers = Cost

  37. Environmental Riskand Insurance

  38. History Pre 1970s • No specific delineation of environmental risk in CGL policies; • Coverage triggered by bodily injury / property damage; • Policies written to apply on an ‘occurrence’ basis.

  39. History Post 1970s • ‘Absolute’ pollution exclusion; • ‘Sudden and Accidental’ coverage triggers; • Claims made CGL policy forms; • Customized environmental insurance products (PLL and EIL).

  40. OCCURRENCE VS. CLAIMS MADE POLICY FORMS OCCURRENCE CLAIMS MADE 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 2000 DATE OF ACCIDENT CLAIM MADE AGAINST INSURED CLAIMS MADE RETROACTIVE DATE • OCCURRENCE FORM - APPLICABLE POLICY IS ONE IN EFFECT WHEN ACCIDENT OCCURRED • CLAIMS MADE FORM - APPLICABLE POLICY IS ONE IN EFFECT WHEN CLAIM IS MADE

  41. Customized ProductsUnderwriting Process • Pre-quantification of risks and time limitations on risk assumption by insurer. • Environmental due diligence required phase I report (minimum); • Copies of relevant contracts/agreements; • Known pre-existing conditions excluded.

  42. Customized Products • Coverage can apply to both first and third party risks; • Coverage scope limited to insured location(s); • Clean up costs included; • Third party risks associated with non- owned disposal sites can be included if the sites are specifically identified.

  43. Customized Products Markets • AIG, Chubb, Kemper, others • Policy terms range from 1-10 years depending upon the risk; • One time premium for the term; • Limit of insurance aggregated over the term.
