Each party (the "Disclosing Party") may provide the other party (the "Receiving Party") with confidential information
("Confidential Information") in connection with this Agreement. Confidential Information shall include information
that is marked or designated as confidential or proprietary at or prior to disclosure or which would appear to a
reasonably prudent person to be confidential and/or proprietary in nature. Confidential Information shall also include,
but not be limited to, this Agreement and all business strategies, plans and procedures, business information,
proprietary information, scientific information, product plans, sales information and plans, data, and trade secrets of

the Disclosing Party, except that MMA, as Receiving Party, may share Client's Confidential Information with insurers,
third party providers, intermediaries and other relevant third parties in furtherance of the Services (and the same shall
not be considered agents and representatives of MMA for this purpose). MMA may include, on a de -identified and
aggregated basis, information relating to Client's insurance program in benchmarking, modeling, analytics and other
offerings to enhance MMA's Services. MMA may share with prospective insurers information about Client's upcoming
insurance renewals to help insurers identify opportunities to compete for risk. The Receiving Party will take all steps
reasonably required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party.
Confidential Information does not include information that (i) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or
has entered the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) the Receiving Party can show was or is
independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information; (iii) is de -identified
and aggregated; or (iv) was received by the Receiving Party from a third party which the Receiving Party had no
reason to believe had a confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party with respect to the information. The Receiving
Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, including pursuant to a subpoena or similar
document; provided the Receiving Party will, to the extent practical, inform the Disclosing Party of the disclosure
requirement in order to permit the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order. If requested by the Disclosing Party,
the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party (or destroy) all documents in the Receiving Party's possession
that contain Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party may retain documents and archival records containing Confidential
Information in accordance with the Receiving Party's record retention policy or as required by law. Each party's
obligations under this section will continue for a period of three (3) years after the date the Confidential Information
is disclosed to the Receiving Party.

administration of MMA's business and the Services.

ownership in intellectual property rights subsisting in any material provided by Client to MMA in connection with this
Agreement.
MMA shall have no liability with respect to: (i) modifications made by any person other than MMA to the Work Product
or deliverables provided to Client by MMA or (ii) any third party's use or reliance on the Work Product or deliverables

Article IV. Limitation of Liability; Disclaimers; Analytics
4.1 Limitation of Liability
In no event shall either party to this Agreement be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or other
special damages or for any lost profits arising out of or relating to any services provided by MMA or its affiliates, even
if advised of the possibility of such damages. The aggregate liability of MMA, its affiliates and any officer, director or
employee of MMA and its affiliates ("MMA Parties") arising out of or relating to the provision of any Services at any
time by any of the MMA Parties shall not exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000). This provision applies to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law and to all causes of action, including, without limitation, breach of contract, breach
of warranty, negligence, strict liability, misrepresentation and other torts.
4.2 Disclaimers
MMA does not act on behalf of any insurer, is not bound to utilize any particular insurer, and does not have the
authority to make binding commitments on behalf of any insurer. MMA does not guarantee or make any
representation or warranty that coverage or Services can be placed on terms acceptable to Client. MMA is not
responsible for the solvency of any insurer or its ability or willingness to pay claims, return premiums or meet other
financial obligations. Client agrees that all decisions regarding the amount, type or terms of coverage shall be Client's
ultimate responsibility. While MMA may provide advice and recommendations, Client must decide the specific
coverages that are appropriate for its particular circumstances and financial position. The form of MMA's
compensation, whether by commission, fee, or both, shall not affect MMA's role as insurance broker or the scope of
the services to be provided by MMA.
MMA's service obligations to Client are solely contractual in nature. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in
performing the Services, MMA and its affiliates are not acting as a fiduciary for Client, except to the extent required
by applicable law, and do not otherwise have a fiduciary or other enhanced duty to Client.
MMA is not engaged in the practice of law or tax accounting and the Services provided hereunder do not constitute
and are not a substitute for legal, tax and/or accounting advice. Any reports or advice MMA provides will be based
on MMA's experience as an insurance broker and risk consultant and should not be relied upon as accounting, legal,
regulatory or tax advice. Accordingly, MMA recommends that Client secure the advice of competent legal counsel
and/or tax advisor with respect to any legal or tax matters related to the Services or otherwise.
4.3 Modeling and Analytics
MMA may also provide Client with modeling and/or business analytics services ("Modeling and Analytics"). These
services are based upon a number of assumptions, conditions and factors. If any of them, or any information provided
to MMA, is inaccurate or incomplete or should change, then the Modeling and Analytics could be materially affected.
Modeling and Analytics are subject to inherent uncertainty, and actual results may differ materially from our
BI Client Service Agreement Version 01-2026 3
taMarshMcLennan
Agency
projections. They are provided solely for Client's benefit. They do not constitute, and are not intended to be a
substitute for, actuarial, accounting or legal advice. MMA will have no liability to any third party in connection with
Modeling and Analytics or to Client with regard to any Modeling and Analytics performed or provided by a third party.
Except to Client's insurers in connection with the placement of coverage by MMA, Client agrees not to share any of
MMA's Modeling and Analytics work product with a third party without MMA's prior written consent.
Article V. Representations
5.1 Compliance with Applicable Law and Regulation
Each party agrees to comply in all material respects with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations applicable
to such party in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement.
5.2 Accuracy of Information
Client shall provide to MMA timely, complete and accurate information to enable MMA to perform its obligations and
provide Services hereunder. Client assumes full responsibility for any Client information provided to MMA, including,
but not limited to, its condition, content, format, usability, or correctness and MMA has no obligation to confirm or
verify the accuracy, authenticity, or completeness of any information provided by Client. Client understands that the
failure to provide necessary, complete and accurate information to MMA, whether intentional or by error, could result
in the voiding of coverage or denial of claims. Client acknowledges that MMA: (i) relies upon the accuracy of all
information provided by Client in effecting and performing its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) understands
and agrees that MMA shall have no liability for its reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information.
Article VI. Other Provisions
6.1 Taxes and Fees.
The insurance MMA places for Client may require the payment of insurance premium taxes (including U.S. federal
excise taxes), sales taxes, use taxes, surplus or excess lines and similar taxes or fees to federal, state or foreign
regulators, boards or associations. Client agrees to pay those taxes and fees, and MMA will remit them to the relevant
authorities after receiving them from Client.
6.2 No Third -Party Beneficiaries
Neither this Agreement nor the provision of the Services is intended to confer any right or benefit on any third party.
6.3 Governing Law/Waiver of Jury Trial
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
regard to choice of law principles. Each party, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives its right to a trial by jury in any action or other legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any services provided by MMA or its affiliates. The waiver applies to
any action or legal proceeding, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise. Each party agrees not to include any
employee, officer, director or trustee of the other as a party in any action, proceeding or counterclaim relating to such
dispute.
6.4 Amendment; Waiver
No changes, amendments, or alterations shall be effective unless signed by duly authorized representatives of both
parties. Neither the waiver by either party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement nor the failure
by either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision herein shall operate or be construed to be a waiver

MarshMcLennan
Agency
of any subsequent breach or violation thereof. To be effective, all waivers must be in writing and signed by an
authorized officer of the party to be charged.
6.5 Exhibits; Entire Agreement

understanding between MMA and Client with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior or

PART 3 - COMPENSATION
3.1 Fee -Based Compensation
MMA will deliver its Services to the Client in respect of the lines of coverage outlined above in Section 2 under "Fee
Coverage(s)" for a fixed annual fee of $42,100.00, plus any applicable sales tax if required by state law, to be billed
as follows: One Annual Invoice Paid @ Inception.
For each renewal anniversary of a Service Period, the fee shall remain flat.
MMA will credit against the fee any Retail Commissions (as defined in the attached Compensation Disclosure) that
MMA or its affiliates collect on your Fee Coverages, except for:
• Commissions when MMA affiliates act as an underwriting manager on behalf of insurers or a wholesale
broker;
• Retail commissions on placements made through MMA's Qualified Solutions Group (QSG);
• Retail commissions on Flood placements made through the National Flood Insurance Program; and
• Retail commissions on placements made by MMA's non-U.S. affiliates on behalf of you or your non-U.S.
subsidiaries.
If the Retail Commissions for the Fee Coverages for an annual period exceed the fee for that annual period, then
MMA will credit any excess Retail Commissions to Client unless prohibited by anti -rebating laws. Where that is
prohibited, Client may engage MMA or its affiliates to provide certain associated services up to the amount of the
excess commission. The scope and terms of the associated services shall be subject to the parties' mutual
agreement. Any unused excess amount remaining at the end of the annual period will be deemed earned by

MMA BI Client Service Agreement
EXHIBIT B: COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE
Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC ("MMA") prides itself on being an industry leader in the area of transparency and
compensation disclosure. We believe you should understand how we are paid for the services we are providing to
you. We are committed to compensation transparency and to disclosing to you information that will assist you in
evaluating potential conflicts of interest.
As a professional insurance producer, MMA and its subsidiaries facilitate the placement of insurance coverage on
behalf of our clients. As an independent insurance agent, MMA may have authority to obligate an insurance company
on behalf of our clients and as a result, we may be required to act within the scope of the authority granted to us
under our contract with the insurer. In accordance with industry custom, we are compensated either through
commissions that are calculated as a percentage of the insurance premiums charged by insurers, or fees agreed to
with our clients.
MMA engages with clients on behalf of itself and in some cases as agent on behalf of its non -US affiliates with respect
to the services we may provide. For a list of our non -US affiliates, please visit: https://mma.marshmma.com/non-us-
affiliates . In those instances, MMA will bill and collect on behalf of the non -US Affiliates amounts payable to them for
placements made by them on your behalf and remit to them any such amounts collected on their behalf.
Wholesalers and Managing General Agents (MGAs) offer products and solutions that Marsh & McLennan Agency
LLC (MMA) as a retail agent and broker cannot access or offer directly to its clients. Some MMA affiliates act as
managing general agents, in which capacity they work solely on behalf of insurers to bind coverage, service policies
and, in some cases, settle claims. Our affiliated wholesale brokers are also able to access excess and surplus lines
insurers that do not work with retail agents and brokers.
MMA receives compensation through one or a combination of the following methods:
Retail Commissions — A retail commission is paid to MMA by the insurer (or wholesale broker) as a percentage
of the premium charged to the insured for the policy. The amount of commission may vary depending on several
factors, including the type of insurance product sold and the insurer selected by the client. If MMA places business
through an affiliated wholesale broker or managing general agent, MMA will advise the client of this at or prior to
placement.
Client Fees — Some clients may negotiate a fee for MMA's services in lieu of, or in addition to, retail commissions
paid by insurance companies. Fee agreements are in writing, typically pursuant to a Client Service Agreement,
which sets forth the services to be provided by MMA, the compensation to be paid to MMA, and the terms of
MMA's engagement. The fee may be collected in whole, or in part, through the crediting of retail commissions
collected by MMA for the client's placements.
Contingent Commissions — Many insurers agree to pay contingent commissions to insurance producers who
meet set goals for all or some of the policies the insurance producers place with the insurer during the current
year. The set goals may include volume, profitability, retention and/or growth thresholds. Because the amount of
contingent commission earned may vary depending on factors relating to an entire book of business over the
course of a year, the amount of contingent commission attributable to any given policy typically will not be known
at the time of placement.
Supplemental Commissions — Certain insurers and wholesalers agree to pay supplemental commissions, which
are based on an insurance producer's performance during the prior year. Supplemental commissions are paid
as a percentage of premium that is set at the beginning of the calendar year. This percentage remains fixed for
all eligible policies written by the insurer during the ensuing year. Unlike contingent commissions, the amount of
supplemental commission is known at the time of insurance placement. Like contingent commissions, they may
be based on volume, profitability, retention and/or growth.
BI Client Service Agreement Version 01-2026
MMA BI Client Service Agreement
Wholesale Braking Commissions — Sometimes MMA acts as a wholesale insurance broker for some transactions
(which may include MMA's retail broking operations). In these placements, MMA is engaged by a retail broker
that has the direct relationship with the insured. MMA may have specialized expertise, access to surplus lines
markets, or access to specialized insurance facilities that the retail broker does not have. In these transactions,
the insurer typically pays a commission that is divided between the retail and wholesale broker pursuant to
arrangements made between them.
In addition, some MMA affiliates act as managing general agents, in which capacity they work solely on behalf of
insurers to bind coverage, service policies and, in some cases, settle claims. Our affiliated wholesale brokers
are also able to access excess and surplus lines insurers that do not work with retail agents and brokers. Like
other MGA's and wholesalers, our affiliates may also be compensated by commissions received from
insurers. These commissions are separate and apart from any commissions received by MMA. When MMA
places business through affiliated wholesalers, the insurer pays a commission that may be divided between our
affiliated wholesaler and MMA. Compensation earned by wholesalers may be shared with MMA as described in
the Contingent and Supplemental Commissions sections above.
Medallion Program and Sponsorships — Pursuant to MMA's Medallion Program, participating carriers sponsor
educational programs, MMA events and other initiatives. Depending on their sponsorship levels, participating
carriers are invited to attend meetings and events with MMA executives, have the opportunity to provide
education and training to MMA colleagues and receive data reports from MMA. Insurers may also sponsor other
national and regional programs and events.
Other Compensation & Sponsorships — From time to time, MMA may be compensated by insurers for providing
administrative services on behalf of those insurers. Such amounts are typically calculated as a percentage of
premium or are based on the number of insureds. Additionally, insurers may sponsor MMA training programs
and events. MMA may also have arrangements with vendors who compensate MMA for referring clients for
vendor services.
We will be pleased to provide you with additional information about our compensation and information about
alternative quotes upon your request. For more detailed information about the forms of compensation we receive
please refer to our Marsh & McLennan Agency Compensation Guide at
