3. UniFi is the general managing underwriter of film and television completion bonds for OneBeacon Insurance Group (OneBeacon). OneBeacon provides insurance solutions for the entertainment industry and other specialty markets. It consistently receives excellent financial strength ratings indicating its outstanding performance and ability to meet its policyholders’ claims. UniFi’s re/insurance support is designed to give producers, financiers and investors the greatest legal and financial protection. Our completion bonds are issued directly from and in the name Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company (ASIC), a multi-state admitted insurance company and one of OneBeacon’s highly-rated, financially strong insurers. ASIC takes responsibility for adjusting and paying 100% of any losses under the completion bond and assumes the credit risk of all its reinsurers, which eliminates the need for cut-through endorsement letters.

8. How We Work
Step 1 – Consider: We begin by asking the producer to furnish proof of funds (POF), which typically takes the form of a short summary describing each financier and investor that has committed to advance production funds, the amount of and, if applicable, any pre-conditions (e.g., script or cast approval, completing pre-sales) to any funding commitments, together with a fully-signed copy of a term-sheet or commitment letter. Once POF is accepted, the producer will submit key production elements (i.e., screenplay or teleplay(s), budget, shooting schedule and post-production calendar) to our Production Department, and financing, production and distribution contracts to our Business Affairs Department. Whenever possible, we will assign the same Production and Business Affairs executives to manage your account to help foster trust, communication and expediency.
Step 2 – Evaluate: Our production staff will review the key production elements to determine the adequacy of the resources

9. (personnel, time and money) that will be made available to the producer.
We will arrange to meet production team members to solicit their ideas and opinions on the budget and schedule including any unusual or challenging conditions. We will exchange recommendations for any warranted adjustments if we believe the level of the crew’s experience and skill, the duration of the shooting or post-production schedule or the budgeted costs of production are insufficient.
Our Business Affairs staff will concurrently evaluate the legal rights and obligations of the producer under relevant financing, production and distribution contracts.
If we are satisfied the production team has the experience, expertise and skill, and the producer has secured the contractual rights and financing needed to produce, complete and deliver the production with the available resources, then we will

“underwrite” the project. This is an internal process during which we approve the submission and undertake to issue the completion bond subject to legal documentation.

Step 4 – Track: Once the legal documents are fully signed and shooting has begun, we will continue monitoring the progress of production throughout principal photography and post-production and remain available to troubleshoot any difficult or challenging conditions.
Step 5 – Deliver: Upon completion of post-production, we will work together with the post-production supervisor to ensure the
