Depending upon the specific provision purchased, this extension of coverage may apply to any outside position held by any insured director or officer, to only outside positions in non-profit entities, or to only outside positions in specifically scheduled outside entities. Outside position coverage typically applies only to the extent the director’s or officer’s loss is in excess of any insurance and indemnification available from the outside entity (i.e., double excess). Depending upon the ODL provision, the coverage may also be in excess of any indemnification available from the insured company (i.e., triple excess).
Outstanding Cash Advance (“O.C.A.”)
A method of funding by the reinsurer using a cash advance in connection with a securitization provision contained in a reinsurance agreement requiring the reinsurer to secure its outstanding obligations under the agreement as of a particular point in time. The cash advance is held by the company in trust for the reinsurer in an interest bearing account or invested by the company in acceptable securities. The amount of the cash advance is subject to adjustment at given intervals as the reinsurer’s obligations change, as defined in the securitization provision. Generally, should the reinsurer fail to perform its payment obligations under the reinsurance agreement, the company may utilize the outstanding cash advance to meet such obligations.
