9 Proprietary and Confidential Risk Managers’ Perspective on Marine Insurance Market!

10 Proprietary and Confidential Risk Managers’ Key Issues The protracted scarcity of property insurance capacity for windstorm risks The lack of cost-effective contingent business interruption insurance to transfer supply chain exposures Problems over insurance coverage gaps and pricing methodologies Rising anxiety over reputational risk A professed need for more expansive, insurer-provided loss engineering services

11 Proprietary and Confidential E&P Risk Managers’ Trends & Solutions Risk Managers to Assume More Risk Via Higher self-insured retentions or the use of captives Sell, abandon or decommission non-productive assets to reduce aggregations at risk of loss Be more strategic with budgeted resources; and/or Transfer exposures to the capital market s But the Capital Markets Solution Is Problematic These risk solutions have too much of a miss factor to be an effective risk solution for companies with a large diverse reserve portfolio - One Risk Manager

12 Proprietary and Confidential Risk Managers’ Supply Chain Concerns Vulnerability of Companies’ Global Supply Chains to Extreme weather events Other natural or man-made disasters Sole source supplier situation Suppliers’ suppliers defaulting on contracts We are beginning analysis of our supply chain exposures from a risk bearing standpoint. We’re also contractually laying off risks to other providers, and have increased our financial limits substantially in some lines (of insurance) by getting rid of insurance coverage in other lines, being more strategic with our capital resources. We’re taking much more of a `targeted’ approach to risk transfer. - Mr. Hayles Hilcorp Energy

13 Proprietary and Confidential Risk Managers’ Quotes We would find it extremely valuable to have the insurance industry learn more about what these government agencies do and are planning to do. This could even lead to a creative insurance program or some layer of coverage to help us defray the related (compliance) costs. - Ms. Pichè from Black Elk I’d really like to see underwriters think `out of the box’ and create a more effective long-term warranty insurance product.” -Doug Downing Canal Barge

14 Proprietary and Confidential Risk Managers’ Quotes To manage the cycle, we do three things—have healthy self-insured retentions, seek good results and seek a long-term relationship with our insurers, broker, vendors and even the outside firms that provide legal services. -Spencer Murphy, Canal Barge You pay a bit for this, but the upside is that it helps you avoid significant volatility. … The improved visibility is worth it from a budgeting and expense allocation standpoint. -Michael Alvarez First Wind Energy

15 Proprietary and Confidential Risk Managers Quotes To me, our underwriters are an extension of our risk management team. They’re here to help us improve our business, to help this company grow and prosper. They do this by assisting us to reduce losses and, where feasible, to contain them. -Matt Wallace Huntsman Corporation “You need to put a face on the person you’re dealing with. Price and capacity are important, but the responsiveness to claims is more important, and that is where a personal relationship comes into play. -Michael Alvarez First Wind Energy
