Exhibit A
REINSURANCE AGREEMENT
Effective: January 1, 2001
between
Westchester Fire Insurance Company
New York, New York
(the “Company”)
and
ACE Capital Re Overseas Ltd.
Hamilton, Bermuda
(the “Reinsurer”)
Preamble
Whereas, the Reinsurer will be assuming facultative reinsurance from the Company on lines of business for which the Company is duly licensed under Section 1113 and Section 4102(c) of the Insurance Laws of the State of New York; and
Whereas, by this Agreement, the Company wishes to cede to the Reinsurer and the Reinsurer is willing to assume reinsurance on a facultative basis on certain Policies to be underwritten by the Company, in an amount and limit to be determined on a policy-by-policy basis; and
Whereas, the Reinsurer and the Company intend to execute and deliver all of the Facultative Certificates in accordance with terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company and Reinsurer agree as follows:
2
The Company is permitted, but not required, to purchase facultative and/or treaty reinsurance on business subject to this Agreement.
The following terms have the respective meanings set forth below. Other terms are defined elsewhere in this Agreement.
3
4
Within thirty (30) days of the last day of each quarter, the Company shall provide the Reinsurer with such reports as are specified in the Facultative Certificates.
Losses payable under any Intercompany Facultative Reinsurance shall be paid within the time period specified in the applicable Facultative Certificate.
11.1 The Reinsurer may enter into a trust agreement with the Company (the “Trust Agreement”) and a Qualified United States Financial Institution (the “Trustee”) in a form acceptable to the Company and establish a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company with respect to the liabilities assumed by the Reinsurer hereunder. The Trust
5
Agreement shall be in strict compliance with the terms of Regulation 114 promulgated pursuant to the New York Insurance Laws.
11.2 The Reinsurer agrees to deposit and maintain in said Trust Account assets to be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Company as security for the payment of the Reinsurer’s obligations to the Company under this Agreement, as specified in Section 11.8 of this Agreement. Such assets shall be maintained in the Trust Account by the Reinsurer as long as the Reinsurer continues to remain liable for any Policy ceded hereunder as provided in Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
11.3 The Reinsurer agrees that the assets so deposited shall consist only of cash (United States legal tender), certificates of deposit (issued by a United States Bank and payable in United States legal tender), and investments of the types permitted by the New York Insurance Law or any combination of the previously mentioned.
11.4 The Reinsurer, prior to depositing assets with the Trustee, shall execute all assignments, endorsements in blank, and transfer legal title to the Trustee of all shares, obligations or any other assets requiring assignments, in order that the Company, or the Trustee upon direction of the Company, may whenever necessary negotiate any such assets without consent or signature from the Reinsurer or any other entity.
11.5 The Reinsurer shall deposit into the Trust Account an amount sufficient to cover the Reinsurer’s obligations to the Company as set forth in Section 11.8 of this Agreement.
11.6 At the end of each quarter, the Company shall determine if the Trust Account is adequately funded with respect to the Company’s liabilities reinsured hereunder. If the Company determines that the Trust Account is not adequately funded, i.e., the Trust Account contains less than the Required Amount, the Company shall send the Reinsurer a notice specifying the amount of the inadequacy and the Reinsurer shall deposit such amount in the Trust Account within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.
11.7 All settlements of account under the Trust Agreement between the Company and the Reinsurer shall be made in cash or its equivalent.
11.8 The Company and the Reinsurer agree that the assets in the Trust Account may be withdrawn by the Company at any time, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, provided such assets are applied and utilized by the Company or any successor of the Company by operation of law, including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Company, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer, only for the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s share of any Losses paid by the Company with respect to Policies reinsured hereunder, if not otherwise paid by the Reinsurer;
(b) to fund an account with the Company in an amount at least equal to the deduction, for reinsurance retroceded, from the Company’s liabilities with respect to Policies
6
reinsured hereunder. Such account shall include, but not be limited to, amounts for policy reserves, claims and losses incurred (including losses incurred but not reported), and unearned premium reserves; and
(c) to pay any other amount the Company claims are due under this Agreement.
11.9 The Reinsurer shall have the right to seek the Company’s approval to withdraw all or any part of the assets from the Trust Account and transfer such assets to the Reinsurer, provided that:
(a) the Reinsurer shall, at the time of withdrawal, replace the withdrawn assets with other assets of a type permitted hereunder having a market value equal to the market value of the assets withdrawn, so as to maintain the Trust Account in the Required Amount, or
(b) after such withdrawal and transfer, the market value of the Trust Account is no less than 102% of the Required Amount.
In the event that the Reinsurer seeks the Company’s approval hereunder, the Company shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold its approval.
11.10 In the event that the Company withdraws assets from the Trust Account for the purposes set forth in Section 11.8 (a) or (b) in excess of actual amounts required to meet the Reinsurer’s obligations to the Company, or in excess of amounts determined to be due under Section 11.8 (c), the Company will return such excess to the Reinsurer, plus interest at the prime (or base) rate of interest. In the event of a dispute arising under this Article XI, the arbitration panel established pursuant to Article XIII of this Agreement shall have the right to award interest at a rate that is determined to be equitable, and may award attorney’s fees, arbitration costs and other expenses.
11.11 At the option of the Reinsurer, letters of credit meeting the requirements of New York Insurance Regulation 133 (“Letters of Credit” or, in the singular, “Letter of Credit”) may be substituted in whole or in part for the Trust Account. Any such Letter of Credit will be procured from a Qualified United States Financial Institution, and may be drawn down at any time by the Company, only for the purposes set forth in Section 11.8 (a), (b) or (c) of this Agreement, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or the Reinsurer. If the Company receives notification of nonrenewal of a Letter of Credit and if Reinsurer’s entire obligations under this Agreement remain unliquidated and undischarged ten (10) days prior to such expiration date, the Company may obtain a cash deposit equal to such obligations, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or Reinsurer, and deposit such amount in the name of the Reinsurer in any United States bank or trust company, apart from its general assets, in trust for such uses and purposes as specified in Section 11.8 of this Agreement. If the Letter of Credit is drawn down, the provisions of section 11.8 shall apply to the amount so drawn and the Company shall immediately return to Reinsurer any amounts drawn down on the Letter of Credit that are subsequently determined not to be due.
7
11.12 If Letters of Credit are substituted in whole or in part for the Trust Account, as permitted by Section 11.11 of this Agreement, there shall be an adjustment after receipt of each quarterly report to ensure that the collective security provided by the Trust Account and any such Letters of Credit is equal to (but not greater or less than) the Required Amount. If such collective security is determined to be less than the Required Amount, the Reinsurer, shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment of the Letter of Credit or additional Letters of Credit, increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such deficiency. If such collective security is determined to be more than the Required Amount, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by consenting to an amendment to the Letter or Letters of Credit, reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.
11.13 The issuing bank will have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the Company.

The Insurer acknowledges that the Insured will not be able to comply with the reporting requirements set forth in this Article 6 or the reporting requirements with respect to any Flat Cancelled Leases or Collateral Substitutions for a period of time after the Effective Date, and that such failure to comply shall not be deemed a breach of the Insured’s obligations under this Policy. The Insured will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop the reports required by this Article 6 within 120 days after the Premium Payment Date. Upon the Insured’s successful development of the reports necessary to comply with this Article 6, the Insured will provide such reports to the Insurer retroactive to January 1, 2001 as well as information with respect to any Flat Cancelled Leases and Collateral Substitutions that have occurred since January 1, 2001.

ARTICLE 7. SETTLEMENTS
Any payment in respect of the Profit Sharing Amount shall be due on the later to occur of (i) the date that is 60 days following the last Scheduled Maturity Date to occur and (ii) the date that is five years and 60 days following the Premium Payment Date (such later date to occur is referred to as the “Profit Sharing Payment Date”).
Insured Losses shall be paid on a funds withheld basis with final settlement to be made on the latest to occur of (i) the date that is 60 days following the last Scheduled Maturity Date to occur, (ii) the date that is 60 days following the last revised scheduled maturity date to occur with respect to an Extended Lease and (iii) the date that is five years and 60 days following the Premium Payment Date (such latest date to occur is referred to as the “Final Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event Insured Losses exceed $155 million, the Insurer will make provisional payments to the Insured in respect of Insured Losses in excess of $155 million on a quarterly basis within 10 days following receipt of the Monthly Loss Account for the last month of each calendar quarter; provided, however, that the Insurer shall offset Insured Losses in excess of $155 million but less than $185 million against the Additional Premium on a dollar for dollar basis, and the amounts so offset (collectively, the “Offset Amount”) shall not be considered provisional payments hereunder. On the Final Payment Date, the Insurer shall calculate Insured Losses. In the event the aggregate provisional payments actually paid to the Insured by the Insurer in respect of Insured Losses are in excess of the Insured Losses less the Offset Amount (if any), the Insured shall refund to the Insurer on the Final Payment Date an amount equal to such excess. In the event the Insured Losses less the Offset Amount (if any) are in excess of the aggregate provisional payments actually paid to the Insured by the Insurer in respect of Insured Losses, the Insurer shall pay to the Insured on the Final Payment Date an amount equal to such excess. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 2 hereof, in the event Insured Losses are greater than $155 million but less than $185 million, the Insured shall be entitled to retain the portion of the Additional Premium not offset by Insured Losses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event a Profit Sharing Amount is paid and the Profit Sharing Payment Date precedes the Final Payment Date, the Insurer shall be entitled to reduce Insured Losses payable on the Final Payment Date (if any) by an amount equal to the lesser of the Profit Sharing Amount paid to the Insured and the amount of Insured Losses reported subsequent to the Profit Sharing Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Profit Sharing Payment Date precedes the Final Payment Date and Covered Losses at the Final Payment Date are less than Covered Losses at the Profit Sharing Payment Date, on the Final Payment Date the Insurer will recalculate the Profit Sharing Amount based on Covered Losses at the Final Payment Date and, if the Profit Sharing Amount as so recalculated exceeds the Profit Sharing Amount paid on the Profit Sharing Payment Date, the Insurer will pay to the Insured on the Final Payment Date an amount equal to such excess.

ARTICLE 8. ACCESS TO RECORDS
The Insurer and its authorized representatives shall have access to the books and records of the Insured (including, without limitation, all electronic data) upon prior reasonable notice and during normal business hours for the sole purpose of obtaining information concerning this Policy or its subject matter and the right to make copies thereof (at its own expense), subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, applicable federal or state privacy laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the Insurer’s reinsurers and retrocessionaires with respect to this Policy (if any) shall be considered authorized representatives of the Insurer when accompanying the Insurer on visits to the Insured for the purposes stated above in this Article.
ARTICLE 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE INSURED
The Submission was accurate in all material respects as of the date of delivery.
In consideration of the coverage provided to it under this Policy, the Insured covenants to the Insurer as follows:
During the Term, the Insured shall not sell, transfer or assign all or substantially all of the Potentially Covered Leases to other than its affiliates without the written consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, this covenant relates to sale, transfer and assignment of leases, not to sale, transfer or assignment of vehicles. For the further avoidance of doubt, this covenant does not apply to dealer lease and/or vehicle repurchases in connection with breaches under Chase dealer agreements. The Insured will provide prompt written notice to the Insurer of any sale, transfer or assignment of all or substantially all the Potentially Covered Leases to any affiliate.
During the Term, the interest rate charged on Chase Financed Purchase Option Vehicles will be based on the same return on equity and profitability models that Chase establishes for its used vehicle loans made directly to consumers.
During the Term, the Insured shall maintain a dealer asset remarketing effort and a consumer asset remarketing effort with respect to Purchase Option Vehicles and Chase Financed Purchase Option Vehicles, and the Insured’s remarketing practices with respect to such efforts shall conform to or exceed standard industry practices, subject, however, to the Insured’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Policy.
The Insured shall not change its current methodology or practices with respect to its LeMans system as it relates to the determination of Initial Adjusted Capitalized Cost, Amortized Value, Book Cost or depreciation.
ARTICLE 10. COVENANTS OF THE INSURER
The Insurer shall issue an endorsement to this Policy (the “Liability Endorsement”) increasing the Limit of Liability by $200 million (the “Additional Limit”) (resulting in a revised Limit of Liability of $420 million) in the event Leadenhall Insurance Brokers (i)
8
place reinsurance coverage that is reasonably acceptable to the Insurer on the entire Additional Limit by April 30, 2001 with reinsurers rated at least A IX by AM Best and (ii) procure reinsurance cut-through endorsements in the form of Annex I hereto from such reinsurers for the entire Additional Limit (in the aggregate). In the event the Liability Endorsement is not issued by April 30, 2001 or such later date as the Insured and the Insurer shall agree to in writing, the Insurer promptly shall refund $6 million of Premium to the Insured with interest from the Premium Payment Date to the date of refund at an annual rate equal to 5.5%.
ARTICLE 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Offset. The Insured and the Insurer have the right to offset any balance(s) due from one to the other hereunder.
2. Governing Law. This Policy shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
3. Assignment. This Policy shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Insurer and the Insured and their respective successors and assigns. This Policy may not be assigned by either party (other than by the Insured to an affiliate of the Insured or by the Insurer to an affiliate of the Insurer that has an AM Best rating of at least A IX at the time of assignment) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, if the AM Best rating of the Insurer falls below A IX during the Term, the Insurer shall use best efforts to promptly substitute for the Insurer another company within the ACE Group of Companies whose AM Best rating is equal to or better than A IX (for the avoidance of doubt, such substitution will be in respect of the Insurer’s gross exposure under this Policy, including, without limitation, exposure in respect of the Profit Sharing Amount); provided, further if such assignment is impractical to effect because of tax, regulatory or accounting issues, the Insurer will reinsure its gross exposure under this Policy (including, without limitation, exposure in respect of the Profit Sharing Amount) to a member of the ACE Group of Companies that has an AM Best rating equal to or better than A IX or a Standard & Poor’s rating in the AA category or better and procure a reinsurance cut-through endorsement in the form of Annex I hereto from such reinsurer in favor of the Insured. In the event a substitution of insurers is made in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 3 and during the Term the AM Best rating of the company substituted for the Insurer falls below A IX, the substituted company shall be obligated to comply with the second sentence of this Section 3. In the event reinsurance and a reinsurance cut-through endorsement is effected in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 3 and the AM Best rating or Standard & Poor’s rating of the company providing the reinsurance and the reinsurance endorsement falls below A IX or the AA category, respectively, the Insurer shall be obligated to comply once again with the second sentence of this Section 3. The Insurer recognizes that the Insurer’s compliance with this Section 3 is of a special, unique and extraordinary character, which gives it peculiar value, the loss of which may not be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any action at law, and that a breach by the Insurer of
9
the provisions of this Section 3 may cause the Insured irreparable injury and damage. The Insurer agrees that the Insured shall be entitled to the remedies of specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent a breach of this Section 3 by the Insurer without the necessity of proving damages and that the Insured shall not be required to post bond or any other form of guarantee as a condition of such relief. This previous sentence shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of any rights which the Insured may have for damages or otherwise, nor shall it limit in any way any other remedies which may result from the breach of this Policy.
4. Amendment. No amendment or modification of this Policy shall be effective except when made by a written endorsement to this Policy that is agreed to in writing by the Insured and signed by an authorized representative of the Insurer.
5. Headings. The headings used in this Policy are intended and inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not effect the meaning, interpretation, construction or effect of this Policy.
6. Entire Agreement. This Policy constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the contents of this Policy, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, oral and written, with respect hereto.
7. Waiver. No waiver of this Policy shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the party granting the waiver. The failure of a party to enforce any provision of this Policy shall not constitute a waiver by such party of such provision. The past waiver of a provision by a party shall not constitute a course of conduct or waiver in the future of that same provision.
8. Taxes and Brokerage. Except as provided in the following sentence, any taxes and brokerage payable with respect to this Policy shall be borne by the Insurer and shall be paid directly by the Insurer to the applicable taxing authorities. Any taxes payable with respect to the Additional Premium shall be payable by the Insured to the Insurer, and the Insurer shall pay such taxes to the applicable taxing authorities.
9. Cancellation. This Policy may be canceled by the Insurer for non-payment of the Premium, but shall not be cancelable for any other reason by either party.
10. Loss Payee. The following entity is named as loss payee under this Policy: Chase Vehicle Exchange, Inc., P.O. Box 5230, New Hyde Park, New York, 11742.
11. No Reliance. The Insured has reviewed the terms, conditions and significance of this Policy with its legal counsel, tax counsel and accountants and is accepting this Policy with full knowledge of its terms, conditions and significance. In accepting this Policy, the Insured is not relying upon any representation or warranty by the Insurer regarding the legal, tax or accounting implications for the Insured in purchasing the insurance provided by this Policy. It is understood and
10
agreed that this Policy is a manuscript policy that has been negotiated at arm’s length and on equal footing as between the Insured and Insurer, and that both parties fully understood and agreed to all the terms and conditions contained in this Policy.
12. Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Suit. It is agreed that, in the event of failure of the Insurer to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Insurer, at the request of the Insured, will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this condition constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Insurer’s right to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United States District Court or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States or of any state in the United States. It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made upon Counsel, Legal Department, Westchester Fire Insurance Company, or his or her representative, and that in any suit instituted against the Insurer upon this Policy, the Insurer will abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of any appeal.
13. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE INSURED AND THE INSURER EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS POLICY AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE ISSUANCE AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS POLICY.
14. Currency. Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appear in this Policy, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars, and all payments made hereunder shall be made in United States Dollars.
15. Notices. All notices under any provision of this Policy shall be in writing and given by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or certified mail properly addressed to the appropriate party. Notices shall be sent to the Insurer and the Insured at the addresses listed in the Declarations (attention: General Counsel, in the case of notices sent to the Insurer, and attention: Jeffrey Levine, in the case of notices sent to the Insured). Notices sent by courier shall be deemed received and effective one day after such notice is sent.

Annex I
CUT-THROUGH ENDORSEMENT

For value received, the Reinsurer hereby agrees that, in the event of the occurrence of the insolvency, receivership, liquidation or reorganization of the Company and the failure of the Company to pay any amounts payable to the Insured under the Policy within the time provided in the Policy, (i) the Reinsurer will immediately become liable to the Insured for the portion of such amount that is covered under the Reinsurance Agreement (the “Covered Amount”), (ii) the Reinsurer will have the right and the obligation to make direct payment of the Covered Amount to the Insured within three business days of receipt by the Reinsurer of a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and (iii) the Insured will have a direct right of action against the Reinsurer for the payment of the Covered Amount, in each case without diminution because of the occurrence of any proceeding or circumstance involving the Company, including the occurrence of the insolvency, receivership, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, and notwithstanding any payment by the Reinsurer to the Company or the rejection, disaffirmation, reformation or other action terminating or modifying the Policy or the Reinsurance Agreement by any liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator or receiver of the Company or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Company or by operation of law.
