Tiffany Thomson PRINTED NAME Director of Human ResourcesHR TITLE DEPARTMENT DocuSign Envelope ID: D35D23F7-6CE7-4CB6-A29C-8F7347DD21C5 Exhibit A Proposal CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS and TEXAS SERIES OF LOCKTON COMPANIES, LLC This Proposal is for CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS ("Client'o and is presented by the TEXAS SERIES OF LOCKTON COMPANIES, LLC ("Lockton"). COMPENSATION, DISCLOSURE AND PAYMENT TERMS 1.1 Fee. All insurance brokerage and/or other insurance brokerage related services set forth in Addendum A associated with placing the following lines of coverage are services required by applicable law or regulation to be or are customarily performed by a licensed insurance broker (including a person designated by applicable law as a consultant licensed to render services as an insurance broker). Any services (other than services as a consultant licensed to render services as an insurance broker) that may from time to time be included in or rendered in connection with the foregoing services are embedded in or ancillary to the performance of Lockton's insurance brokerage services and will be performed without separate payment for such consulting services (if any). The services to be rendered under this Proposal will be performed by Lockton for compensation in the form of a fee in the amount of $75,000 for the second annual term (August 4, 2021 - August 3, 2022) and $77,250 for the third annual term (August 4, 2022 - August 3, 2023: • Property (Denton Energy Center) 1.2 Disclosure. In addition to the compensation set forth above, Client acknowledges, consents and agrees that Lockton may also receive other compensation such as incentive or contingency payments or bonuses and/or supplemental commissions from insurance companies, intermediaries (which may be affiliated with Lockton) or other third parties as a result of being an insurance broker (collectively, "Additional Compensation'). Lockton may also receive interest or investment income on funds temporarily held by it, such as premiums or return premiums, service fees or other compensation from premium finance companies for administrative services provided to or on behalf of the premium finance companies relative to the financing of client insurance premiums, and/or service fees from insurers for consulting and/or administration services specific to an insurer. 1.3 Additional Texas Disclosure. Pursuant to Texas Code Section 4005.004, Client acknowledges that although the amount of such Additional Compensation which may be paid to Lockton is not known or reasonably estimable, the method(s) and factor(s) used for determining the amount(s) of such Additional Compensation, if any, can be described as follows: Contingency payments or bonuses are based on the overall performance of a partial or entire book of business Lockton places with an insurance company, and Lockton's eligibility and the amount of any such compensation may vary depending on the line of business and a number of "contingent" factors related to future performance such as overall premium volume, premium growth year -over -year, persistency, profitability Proposal Page 1 of 4 and/or retention targets set by the carrier. As such, a contingency payment received by Lockton from an insurer is difficult to tie back to any particular client insurance policy, but the overall amount of Additional Compensation received by Lockton has historically ranged from 0.5-4% of overall premium volume placed with a carrier. The amount of supplemental commission on eligible placements is established at the beginning of a calendar year based on Lockton's historical and current performance typically measured using some or all of the same performance factors by which contingency payments are calculated. 1.4 Agreement to Forego Receipt of Commissions. In consideration of Client's agreement to pay the fee set forth above, Lockton agrees that it will seek to have all placements referenced in Section 1.1 above made on a net of commission basis. In the event an insurer will not comply with this request or it is not in Client's best interest, any such commissions will be disclosed to Client and either deducted from the premium billed to Client, in the case of agency -billed placements, or, in the case of direct -billed placements, returned to the insurer with the request that the insurer either credit the commission amount toward Client's premium obligation or return it directly to Client. If any insurer refuses to credit or return commission on a direct -billed placement to Client, Lockton will return the commission directly to Client. Client acknowledges and agrees that any contemplated commission deduction, or any credit request or return of any such commission to an insurer or Client will be done to accomplish and maintain the total agreed-upon compensation to Lock -ton and is not an inducement to purchase or renew coverage through Lockton. 1.5 Payment schedule. Client shall pay the fee set forth above based on the following payment schedule: Fee Due Date Fee Amount Due March 15, 2022 $75,000 March 15, 2023 $77,250 Client will provide full payment to Lockton for all fee invoices submitted within 30 days of Client's receipt of each invoice. SERVICES 2.1 Scope of Services. The compensation set forth in Section 1 above is intended to compensate Lockton for placement of the line(s) of coverage indicated and to provide the services listed in Addendum A. In the event Client: 1) requests that Lockton place coverage on any line(s) of business not indicated in Section 1; 2) requests that DocuSign Envelope ID: D35D23F7-6CE7-4CB6-A29C-8F7347DD21C5 Lockton provide other services beyond those set forth in Addendum A; or 3) makes an acquisition or otherwise experiences growth such that the level and/or scope of services needed by Client shall significantly exceed the level of services as contemplated at the inception of the parties relationship, Client and Lockton agree to review in good faith the additional services required and increase the fee set forth herein or agree to other compensation (such as commissions on additional placements) in addition to the fee. The Client shall be solely responsible for all final decisions relating to its insurance and risk management. 2.2 Use of Intermediaries. When, in Lockton's professional judgment, it is necessary or appropriate, Lockton may utilize the services of foreign or domestic intermediaries to assist in the servicing, marketing and/or placement of Client's insurance/risk management programs. However, this may only be done after consultation with and prior approval by Client. Lockton will advise Client whether any proposed intermediary is affiliated with Lockton. Any such intermediary shall be compensated by commissions earned on placement of Client's policies handled by that intermediary, or by payment of a separate fee agreed to by Client and the intermediary if commissions are not properly payable on Client's placements. Such commissions and fee shall be in addition to the compensation paid to Lockton as described herein. 2.3 Insurance Proposals and Summaries. Insurance documents prepared by Lockton containing proposals to bind coverage, summaries of coverages, and certificates of insurance placed are furnished to Client as a matter of information for Clients convenience. These documents are not intended to reflect the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of such policies, are not themselves insurance policies and do not amend, alter or extend the coverages afforded by such policies. The insurance afforded by the proposed or placed policies is subject to all the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions contained in such policies. 2.4 Modeling and Analytics Services Lockton provides various modeling and/or data analytics services to its clients ("Modeling and Analytics Services') and may provide such services to Client. Client authorizes Lockton to 1) to disclose information it receives from Client, its insurers and/or third -party administrators to Lockton's affiliates, parents, employees, and/or to third parties as necessary to perform such Modeling and Analytics Services, and 2) to contribute such information to benchmarking databases created by or for Lockton to facilitate the creation of analytic reports for its clients, provided that such reports shall not include any information that personally identifies Client or its employees. Modeling and Analytics Services will be based upon a number of assumptions, conditions and factors, as well as information provided by third parties. If any such information provided to or utilized by Lockton is inaccurate, incomplete or should change, the Modeling and Analytics Services provided by Lockton could be materially affected. As Modeling and Analytics Services are subject to inherent uncertainty and involve variables beyond Lockton's control, actual results may differ materially from Lockton's projections. The parties agree that Lockton shall have no liability to Client if 1) Lockton is provided inaccurate or incomplete information, or 2) actual results differ from Lockton's projections. Modeling and Analytics Services do not constitute, and are not intended to be a substitute for, independent actuarial, accounting or tax advice. 2.5 Fee Due Upon Change in Control. In the event Client experiences a "Change in Control" (as defined herein), the annual fee will be deemed fully earned and payable by Client as of the effective date of the Change In Control. "Change In Control" shall be defined as any of the following events: 1) the acquisition by an external organization of 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of Proposal common stock of Client or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Client entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; 2) individuals who constitute the Client's Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; 3) consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Client unless the beneficial owners of the outstanding Client common stock and voting securities continue to own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding common stock and voting power of the then outstanding voting securities; or 4) approval by the stockholders of Client of a complete liquidation or dissolution of Client.
