TOWER HILL INSURANCE EXCHANGE
Summary of Subscriber’s Agreement and Power of Attorney
00404800000 W020633697 406414 LDEC D
Tower Hill Insurance Exchange (“Tower Hill Exchange”) is a reciprocal insurance exchange
organized under the laws of Florida, existing for the benefit of its subscribers. As a reciprocal
insurance exchange, Tower Hill Exchange is an unincorporated association of subscribers operating
through the contractual arrangements set forth in a Subscriber's Agreement and Power of Attorney
(the “Agreement”). Under Florida law and pursuant to the Agreement, Tower Hill Exchange and its
subscribers appoint a third party, known as an attorney-in-fact, to manage and administer Tower Hill
Exchange’s operations and affairs on behalf of all of the subscribers.
The attached Agreement provides the terms of your relationship with Tower Hill Exchange and
appoints Tower Hill Risk Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tower Hill Risk
Management”), as Tower Hill Exchange’s attorney-in-fact. Please review the attached Agreement
and sign below to acknowledge your intention to be legally bound by the terms and
conditions of the Agreement.
A summary of certain key business provisions of the Agreement is set forth below:
Non-Assessable Policies: Tower Hill Exchange will only issue non-assessable policies consistent
with all applicable state statutes. Your liability as a subscriber of Tower Hill Exchange is limited to
the costs of your insurance including premiums and surplus contributions (described below) for your
policies.
Surplus Contributions: Along with your policy premium, you will pay surplus contributions to Tower
Hill Exchange, which lowers Tower Hill Exchange’s cost of capital and allows it to offer more
competitively priced insurance to its subscribers. These contributions will be collected along with
your policy premium and are set at 10% of total annual insurance premium. For any given year,
Tower Hill Risk Management will have the discretion to lower the required surplus contribution,
based on the capital needs of Tower Hill Exchange.
Management of Tower Hill Exchange: You will be appointing and designating Tower Hill Risk
Management to be the attorney-in-fact for Tower Hill Exchange. Tower Hill Risk Management is a
for-profit limited liability company. As the attorney-in-fact, Tower Hill Risk Management will manage
all of the insurance operations of Tower Hill Exchange on behalf of you and all of the other
subscribers. Tower Hill Risk Management may delegate the performance of some or all of its
responsibilities to third parties.
Subscribers’ Advisory Committee: Tower Hill Exchange has established a Subscribers’ Advisory
Committee (“SAC”) for the benefit of its subscribers. The SAC, an advisory body, will oversee the
finances and operations of Tower Hill Exchange to assure conformity with the Agreement and to
exercise subscribers’ rights under Florida law and the Agreement. The SAC will provide subscribers
with an avenue for expressing their thoughts in connection with the operation of Tower Hill
Exchange. Tower Hill Exchange will indemnify SAC members for, and you will agree not to sue them
in connection with, their service on the SAC. You can learn more about the powers, duties and
composition of the SAC and its members by visiting www.thig.com/thie/sac.
Subscriber Savings Accounts: Tower Hill Exchange conducts its operations for the benefit of its
subscribers and, as a result, it may, in its discretion, allocate a portion of its profits to its members.
Any such distributions will be subject to Tower Hill Exchange’s performance, overall financial
strength and regulatory approval. Tower Hill Risk Management will contact you directly once more
information on member rewards becomes available. For more information, visit
www.thig.com/thie/ssa.
The above is only a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and does not purport to
describe all of the terms of the Agreement. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the complete text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto. You are urged to read the Agreement
in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs your contractual relationship with
Tower Hill Exchange.
The subscriber to the Tower Hill Insurance Exchange, a reciprocal insurance exchange organized
under the laws of Florida (“Tower Hill Exchange”), by signing the summary and cover letter attached
hereto (the “Subscriber”) agrees with all other subscribers to Tower Hill Exchange, and with Tower
Hill Risk Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tower Hill Risk Management”), as
the attorney-in-fact for Tower Hill Exchange, as follows (this “Agreement”):
1. Power of Attorney.
1.1 Designation. The Subscriber hereby appoints Tower Hill Risk Management as the
Attorney-In-Fact for Tower Hill Exchange with the express power, authority, and permission to
effectuate and conduct the lawful business affairs of Tower Hill Exchange. This authority includes the
ability to carry out all customary functions of a reciprocal insurance company, including but not
limited to the following responsibilities: (a) exchange, with other subscribers to Tower Hill Exchange,
any and all kinds of reciprocal insurance contracts, which Tower Hill Exchange is authorized by law
to write; (b) issue, exchange, renew, non-renew, cancel or modify insurance policies; (c) act as
intermediary to obtain reinsurance; (d) appear for, compromise, prosecute, adjust, settle, defend,
litigate, appeal, and pay claims or losses under the insurance policies of subscribers; (e) accept
service of process on behalf of Tower Hill Exchange in actions against Tower Hill Exchange upon
contracts exchanged; (f) open accounts and borrow money in the name of Tower Hill Exchange; (g)
negotiate a contract with and supervise a managing general agent and claims company which will
perform services to Tower Hill Exchange; (h) hire and compensate personnel and agents; (i) collect
premiums and invest and reinvest funds; (j) receive notices and proof of loss; (k) administer
subscriber accounts, including their respective Subscriber Savings Accounts, if applicable, including
allocations thereto and distributions therefrom; and (l) to conduct the business and affairs of Tower
Hill Exchange as set forth herein, in the organizational documents of Tower Hill Exchange, and the
AIF Agreement, dated December 24, 2021, between Tower Hill Exchange and Tower Hill Risk
Management (the “AIF Agreement”).
1.2 Limited Power of Attorney. Under applicable law, this power of attorney may: (a)
provide for the right of substitution of the attorney and revocation of the power of attorney and rights
thereunder; (b) impose such restrictions upon the exercise of the power as are agreed upon by the
subscribers; (c) provide for the exercise of any right reserved to the subscribers directly or through
their advisory committee; and (d) contain other lawful provisions deemed advisable. This power of
attorney is limited to the purposes described in this Agreement.
1.3 Offices of Attorney-In-Fact. The Tower Hill Risk Management offices will be the same
as the principal office of Tower Hill Exchange, located at 7201 N.W. 11th Place, Gainesville, Florida
32605. The offices of Tower Hill Exchange or Tower Hill Risk Management may be changed in
compliance with the requirements of the laws of the State of Florida and the Subscriber will be
promptly notified of any such change of office location and when any such change shall be effective.
1.4 AIF Agreement. The AIF Agreement between Tower Hill Exchange and Tower Hill Risk
Management, which establishes Tower Hill Risk Management as the attorney-in-fact for Tower Hill
Exchange, is incorporated herein by reference and a copy of the AIF Agreement shall be available
for review at www.thig.com/thie/aif, or upon request from Tower Hill Risk Management.
2.1 Fees for Services. In consideration for the services provided to Tower Hill Exchange
and under the terms of the AIF Agreement, Tower Hill Risk Management will be compensated for
underwriting and marketing management services provided to Tower Hill Exchange, Tower Hill Risk
Management will receive as compensation an amount equal to seventeen percent (17%) of the
annual gross premium written by Tower Hill Exchange. Additionally, Tower Hill Exchange will
compensate Tower Hill Claims Service, LLC, and Bluegrass Insurance Management, LLC for claims
management pursuant to a Claims Service Agreement and will pay per policy fees to Tower Hill
Insurance Group, LLC pursuant to a Managing General Agency Agreement.
2.2 Adjustments and Modifications. Tower Hill Risk Management’s total compensation,
as set forth in greater detail in the AIF Agreement, may be revised or modified at any time, subject to
the prior written approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. Any changes to the
percentages in Section 2.1 are subject to the prior written approval of the Florida Office of Insurance
Regulation and, if approved, will be disclosed to you in writing.
2.3 Expenses. Tower Hill Exchange will be liable, and will reimburse Tower Hill Risk
Management on demand, for losses, loss adjustment expenses, investment expenses and other
expenses attributable to the operations of Tower Hill Exchange.
3. Exchange of Policies. The Subscriber hereby offers and agrees to exchange policies with the
other Tower Hill Exchange subscribers. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the reciprocal
insurance contracts to be exchanged hereunder are non-assessable, consistent with section
629.261, Florida Statutes, thereby limiting the liability of the Subscriber to Tower Hill Exchange to the
costs associated with the policies of insurance only.
4.1 Formation and Role of SAC. The Subscriber understands that Tower Hill Exchange and
Tower Hill Risk Management have established a Subscribers’ Advisory Committee (the “SAC”)
pursuant to section 629.201, Florida Statutes, to exercise any rights reserved to subscribers and
assist Tower Hill Risk Management in supervising the operations of Tower Hill Exchange. The duties
and powers of the SAC, which are available for review at www.thig.com/thie/sac (or upon request),
are contained within the Subscribers’ Advisory Committee Charter (“SAC Charter”). The Subscriber
understands and agrees that the powers of the SAC are limited to those enumerated in the SAC
Charter. Members of the SAC are selected annually by Tower Hill Risk Management and the
Subscriber agrees that the SAC shall (a) have only the enumerated responsibilities specifically
assigned to it, (b) exercise the rights of all subscribers of Tower Hill Exchange, and (c) consist of at
least two-thirds current insured subscribers of Tower Hill Exchange who are independent of the
attorney-in- fact for Tower Hill Exchange. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the
Subscriber is not entitled to directly participate in the management of Tower Hill Exchange unless
such Subscriber is a member of the SAC.
4.2 Supervisory Powers of SAC. The Subscriber agrees that the SAC will supervise the
finances and operations of Tower Hill Exchange to the extent as is necessary to assure conformity
with this Agreement and the AIF Agreement. The SAC also shall procure, at the expense of Tower
Hill Exchange, an audit of the accounts and records of Tower Hill Exchange and Tower Hill Risk
Management.
4.3 Indemnification of SAC Members. To the extent permitted by law, the Subscriber
agrees that Tower Hill Exchange shall defend and hold harmless each and every member of the
SAC from and against any liability that may arise from, or is in any way connected with, such
member’s participation on the SAC. This hold harmless provision does not apply where the member
acted with criminal intent or reckless disregard in the performance of his or her duties as a member
of the SAC.
5. Surplus Contributions.
5.1 Policy Premium and Surplus Contributions. The Subscriber agrees to pay his or her
policy premium when due and, in addition, to make a contribution to Tower Hill Exchange’s surplus
in the amounts and during the period of time set forth in 5.2 below (the “Surplus Contribution”). The
Subscriber understands and agrees that the amounts paid as Surplus Contributions will be credited
00604800000 W020633697 406414 LDEC D
as policyholder surplus for the benefit and protection of all Tower Hill Exchange subscribers and that
Surplus Contributions made to Tower Hill Exchange are not premiums for insurance.
5.2 Timing and Amounts of Surplus Contributions. The Surplus Contributions are
payable to Tower Hill Exchange on or prior to the initial effective date of the Subscriber’s coverage
and within 30 calendar days of the effective date of all endorsements generating an additional
premium, or in accordance with any premium finance or payment schedule in effect. The Surplus
Contributions shall be paid at no greater than 10% of total annual insurance premiums (and may be
charged at a lower rate, or not at all, in the discretion of Tower Hill Risk Management).
6. Subscriber Savings Accounts. Tower Hill Risk Management intends to operate Tower Hill
Exchange for the benefit of all of its subscribers and will maintain separate individual Subscriber
Savings Accounts (“SSAs”) for each subscriber. In years in which Tower Hill Exchange achieves
operating profit and surplus growth, after accounting for paid losses, loss reserves and operating
and policy acquisition expenses, Tower Hill Risk Management, in its discretion, may credit your SSA
with a portion of the amount of Tower Hill Exchange’s growth in surplus for a fiscal year. Any such
credit will be made pro rata, based on the Subscriber’s earned premium for such year. The
Subscriber understands and agrees that (a) any contributions to be made to a Subscriber’s SSA are
based on Tower Hill Exchange’s overall results, not the results of any individual subscriber; and (b)
any and all such funds allocated to the Subscriber would be considered part of Tower Hill
Exchange’s surplus and Tower Hill Risk Management would be authorized to use any and all such
funds to pay any unsatisfied obligations of Tower Hill Exchange, even after it is credited to a SSA. As
set forth in this Agreement, the Subscriber may be eligible for a distribution from its SSA at such
time when the Subscriber is no longer insured by Tower Hill Exchange, or at such other times, if
determined by Tower Hill Risk Management in its discretion, subject to the approval of the SAC. In
order to avoid any impairment to the surplus of Tower Hill Exchange, Tower Hill Risk Management,
subject to the approval of the SAC, retains the right to limit the distribution from the SSAs to
subscribers whose coverage has been terminated. Furthermore, any payment or allocation to an
SSA would be subject to the approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
8. Return of Surplus upon Liquidation. The Subscriber understands and agrees that, in
accordance with Section 629.281, Florida Statutes, upon the liquidation of Tower Hill Exchange, the
assets of Tower Hill Exchange remaining after discharge of its indebtedness and policy obligations,
the return of any contributions of Tower Hill Risk Management or other persons to its surplus made
as provided in Section 629.161, Florida Statutes, and the return of any unused premium, savings, or
credits then standing on SSAs shall be distributed to its subscribers who were such within the 12
months prior to the last termination of its certificate of authority, according to such reasonable
formula as the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation approves.
9. Rejection of Coverage. The Subscriber understands and agrees that Tower Hill Exchange has
an obligation to its subscribers to maintain strict eligibility and underwriting requirements. Tower Hill
Exchange has the right to reject any application for insurance, including this Agreement, and the
offer of payment of premium and Surplus Contribution. If such a rejection of coverage occurs after
receipt of the Surplus Contribution by Tower Hill Exchange, the Surplus Contribution will be returned
to the Subscriber, without payment of interest. An existing subscriber applying for additional lines of
coverage is not guaranteed acceptance for those new lines of coverage.
10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, by the Subscriber or Tower Hill
Risk Management, by terminating all insurance policies issued to the Subscriber, subject to applicable
policy provisions and applicable law. Upon the termination of all insurance policies issued to the
Subscriber, subject to the approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and as otherwise set forth
in this Agreement, the balance remaining in your SSA or eligible Surplus Contribution, after allocation of
expenses and claims, will be returned to the subscriber within six months thereafter. In the event that that
the Subscriber should cease to maintain insurance with Tower Hill Exchange, regardless of whether such
insurance is cancelled, rescinded or non-renewed for any reason, you will lose all rights as a subscriber to
Tower Hill Exchange.
12. Binding Agreement. This Agreement will be accepted by Tower Hill Risk Management upon receipt
of the Subscriber’s executed signature on the cover page. The Subscriber agrees that this Agreement,
including the power of attorney set forth herein, will apply to all insurance policies for which the Subscriber
has applied, or will apply, with Tower Hill Exchange. The subscriber further agrees and understands that
upon acceptance of this Agreement by Tower Hill Risk Management, the terms and conditions of each of
this Agreement, the SAC Charter, and the AIF Agreement will be valid and binding upon Tower Hill Risk
Management, the Subscriber, and each of the parties’ respective personal representatives,
administrators, successors, and assigns, as indicated by the Subscriber’s signature on the cover page.
13.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters relating to its validity, interpretation,
performance and enforcement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
substantive laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the principles of the conflict of laws
or the rules thereof that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
and except for legal actions that may arise directly from the Subscriber’s insurance policy(ies) or
legal actions to enforce this contract, the Subscriber agrees that Tower Hill Exchange will not be
sued or named in any action or affirmative defense by the Subscriber.
[End of Agreement]
By signing below, you agree, among other things, to become a subscriber of Tower Hill Exchange, to
appoint Tower Hill Risk Management as Tower Hill Exchange’s attorney-in-fact and to be legally
bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Due to the nature of Tower Hill Exchange’s structure, we must have your signature on this
document. If you don't sign, by law, we may be unable to continue to provide you with coverage.

Checklist of Coverage
The following checklist is for informational purposes only. Florida law prohibits this checklist from changing any of the provisions of the
03104800000 W020633697 406414 LDEC D
insurance contract which is the subject of this checklist. Any endorsement regarding changes in types of coverage, exclusions, limitations,
reductions, deductibles, coinsurance, renewal provisions, cancellation provisions, surcharges, or credits will be sent separately.
Reviewing this checklist together with your policy can help you gain a better understanding of your policy's actual coverages and
limitations, and may even generate questions. By addressing any questions now, you will be more prepared later in the event of a claim.
Experience has shown that many questions tend to arise regarding the coverage of attached or detached screened pool enclosures,
screened porches, and other types of enclosures. Likewise, if your policy insures a condominium unit, questions may arise regarding the
coverage of certain items, such as individual heating and air conditioning units; individual water heaters; floor, wall, and ceiling coverings;
built-in cabinets and counter tops; appliances; window treatments and hardware; and electrical fixtures. A clear understanding of your
policy's coverages and limitations will reduce confusion that may arise during claims settlement.
Please refer to the policy for details and any exceptions to the coverages listed in this checklist. All coverages are subject to the provisions
and conditions of the policy and any endorsements. If you have questions regarding your policy, please contact your agent or company.

Florida law requires us to notify you of your right to choose a deductible for the peril of windstorm
during a hurricane. The available hurricane deductibles are as follows:
All percentages refer to the percent of the Coverage A – Dwelling Coverage value shown on the
declarations page. For example: if you choose the 2% deductible and your Dwelling coverage is
$150,000, you will have a $3,000 deductible for any loss caused by windstorm during a hurricane.
Some hurricane deductibles may not be available due to the value of your dwelling. If you select a
lower hurricane deductible when a hurricane loss has already occurred under our policy or under
one in our company group during that calendar year, the lower deductible will not take effect until
January 1 of the following calendar year.
Florida Law also requires us to notify you of the availability of a $500 deductible applicable to
losses from perils other than hurricane.
If Sinkhole Loss Coverage is selected, a mandatory 10% (of the Coverage A limit) Sinkhole
Deductible applies.
Your policy declaration page reflects your current hurricane deductible and all other perils
deductible. If you wish to change either of your deductibles, please call your agent listed on the
declarations page. In the event that an affirmative selection is not made, we will continue to apply
the Hurricane Deductible listed on your Declarations Page.

1. Whatever is necessary to enable us to
exercise our rights; and
2. Nothing after loss to prejudice them.
b. If we make a payment under this policy and the
person to or for whom payment is made
recovers damages from another, that person
shall:
1. Hold in trust for us the proceeds of the
recovery; and
2. Reimburse us to the extent of our
payment.
13. Change in Occupancy or Usage of “Residence
Premises”.
If we have not been notified by you within 60 days
of any change of ownership, title, use or owner
occupancy of the “residence premises,” including:
a. The rental of the “residence premises”;
b. Vacancy or abandonment of the “residence
premises”; or
c. The use of the “residence premises” for any
purpose other than a residence;
any loss occurring from the 61st day after such
change to the date proper notice is given will be
excluded from coverage. If this occurs, premium
would be refunded for the period during which the
coverage is suspended.
If a change in title negates the insurable interest,
there will not be coverage from the date of the loss
of insurable interest.

consumer report may be used to determine your insurance policy premium at new business or for a
future renewal term. In the event a security freeze is applied to your consumer reports, we will be able
to access your report with no action on your part as per FCRA § 605A (i)(4)(H).

If the Insurance Score adversely impacts your policy premium, the individual for whom the consumer
report is ordered will receive a Notice of Consumer Report Ordered and Information
Used in Premium Determination. For Tower Hill, adverse means an increase in any charge for any
insurance, existing or applied for, in connection with the underwriting of personal insurance.
Insurance Score may be collected on the applicant or on any other member(s) of the applicant’s or
insured’s household as part of the insurance scoring credit process.
Insurance Score is only one of several factors that determines your premium.

so we may reconsider our decision.
