What are Advanced Commissions? ADVANCED COMMISSIONS Executive Resource Insurance Network, Inc. is proud to offer advanced commissions for certain carriers. We want to make every agent or agency aware that advanced commissions are usually a loan from the carrier based on your clients continuation in paying their modal premiums. Because it is a loan, a lot of carriers will charge a fee. The amount of the fee is strictly up to the individual carrier. Some charge a fee of 3-5% of the dollar amount advanced. For example, if a carrier were to advance you $1,000 they would charge a $50 advance fee and give you $950. Carriers can also base the advance calculation on the annual premium, not the modal. Therefore, you would lose out on the difference between the modal and the annual premium. The annual premium does not always equal the monthly premium times 12. We encourage all agents to make sure that know exactly what the carrier will charge for any advance. Agents must understand and acknowledge the following: Not all carrier offer advance commissions. The carrier will conduct various background checks and upon completion, it is at the sole discretion of the carrier or Executive Resource Insurance Network to accept or reject the proposed request for advancement of commissions. If a request for advance commissions is requested after business is submitted, the carrier and/or Executive Resource Insurance Network cannot guarantee the advancement request will be processed to include any prior business submitted. The agent is liable to the carrier or Executive Resource Insurance Network for any overpayment of commissions that occurs as a result of advances and the agent agrees that the carrier or Executive Resource Insurance Network will recapture and/or recoup commissions in accordance with existing lapse or cancellation rules for in-force policies. If the agent does not pay all amounts due to the carrier and/or Executive Resource Insurance Network, all means necessary will be utilized to collect the debt after demand for payment. All debts will be reprted to Vector. PLEASE READ AND CHECK APPROPRIATE BOXES: I would like a standing order for any contracting to INCLUDE a request for advance commissions with contracting submitted until otherwise informed in writing by me. I would like a standing order for any contracting to NOT INCLUDE a request for advance commissions with contracting submitted until otherwise informed in writing by me. Executive Resource Insurance Network can terminate advances under this Addendum immediately at their sole discretion. If this happens, the agent will receive a notice of the termination. Upon termination of advances under this Addendum, all advances shall cease and the advance debt reduced until a zero balance is attained. If agent does not continue writing business to repay the advance debt, a payment plan must be arranged and agreed to for any remaining balance owed. I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE GUIDELINES FOR ADVANCED COMMISSIONS AS OUTLINED ABOVE: AGENT NAME: DATE: AGENT SIGNATURE:
