including interest, attorneys' fees and costs, for Argonaut's wrongful breach of the Reinsurance

Contract. A copy of the Reinsurance Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

Parties, Jurisdiction and Venue

2. CNI is an insurance and reinsurance company organized and domiciled in

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal place of business at 436 Walnut Street,

Philadelphia, P A 19106.

3. Argonaut is an insurance and reinsurance company. On information and

belief, Argonaut is organized and domiciled in Illinois, with headquarters at 225 W Washington,

241h Floor, Chicago, IL 60606.

4. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)

because the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, exclusive of interest, attorneys' fees and

costs, and plaintiff and defendant are citizens of different states.

5. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Argonaut because, on

information and belief, Argonaut has transacted and continues to transact business in the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and/or because the contracts at issue in this lawsuit were

entered into by Argonaut and CNI in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and/or because

Argonaut has the requisite minimum contacts with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

6. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 139l(b)(2)

7. On or before January 8, 1974, CNI and Argonaut entered into the

Reinsurance Contract, pursuant to which Argonaut agreed to indemnify ("reinsure") CNI with

-2-#23563277 vi

Case 2:14-cv-01925-JS Document 1 Filed 04/02/14 Page 2 of 35

Page 3: ACE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY complaint

respect to the liability that may accrue to CNI as a result of losses occurring under the insurance

policy issued to Lehigh Valley Railroad by Central National Insurance Company ("CNI Policy").

A copy of the underlying policy, CNS 093087, is attached hereto as Exhibit "B."

8. The CNI Policy was issued with an effective date of November 29, 1973

for a 36-month period, but was cancelled short as of November 29, 1975.

9. The Reinsurance Contract was written with layers of reinsurance assumed

by various reinsurers, including Argonaut. As set forth in the Reinsurance Contract, Argonaut

agreed to assume a 50% quota share of the liabilities within its reinsured layer.

10. In accordance with the Reinsurance Contract, CNI paid Argonaut

appropriate premium in respect to the reinsurance assumed by Argonaut under the Reinsurance

Contract.

11. APU, the successor in interest to Lehigh Valley Railroad, sued various

insurers for insurance coverage to pay for environmental remediation and investigation costs at

eleven (11) sites for its operations at these various sites from approximately 1916-1985. In

total, APU demanded approximately $90 million from its insurers.

12. APU sought coverage from the ACE Companies under the CNI Policy and

under certain California Union policies for environmental remediation and investigation costs at

multiple sites.

13. Approximately 87% of APU's demand to the ACE Companies was for

remediation costs incurred at the Lehigh Valley train derailment site in Leroy, New York. The

claims at this site arose primarily from the derailment of two tank cars in 1970 that resulted in

soil, bedrock and groundwater contamination extending over three miles.

Case 2:14-cv-01925-JS Document 1 Filed 04/02/14 Page 3 of 35

Page 4: ACE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY complaint

14. The ACE Companies and APU finalized a settlement to resolve these

claims in June 2006.

15. As part of this settlement, the ACE Companies agreed to pay APU

$875,000 in exchange for a full environmental release.

16. The $875,000 settlement payment was allocated among the ACE

Companies' relevant policies consistent with APU's policy-specific, time-specific, and site-

specific settlement demand.

17. The CNI Policy, reinsured by Argonaut pursuant to the Reinsurance

Contract, paid $577,500 of the settlement payment.

18. The settlement payment was allocated equally to each of the two annual

periods contained in the CNI Policy.

19. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Reinsurance Contract,

CNI advised its reinsurers, including Argonaut, of the APU claim and then of the subsequent

settlement.

20. As of January 2014, Argonaut has failed to pay $306,005.96 due to CNI

under the Reinsurance Contract.

COUNT ONE Breach of Contract

21. CNI incorporates by reference paragraphs l through 20, as if those

averments were fully set forth herein.

22. Pursuant to Section D of the Reinsurance Contract, "All loss settlements

made by the Company, provided they are within the terms and conditions of the original

policy(ies) and within the terms and conditions of this certificate of reinsurance, shall be binding

on the Reinsurer." Ex. A, at 2.

Case 2:14-cv-01925-JS Document 1 Filed 04/02/14 Page 4 of 35

Page 5: ACE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY complaint

23. In accordance with Section D of the Reinsurance Contract, Argonaut is

bound by the ACE Companies' settlement resolving the claims against the underlying CNI

Policy.

24. Pursuant to Section D of the Reinsurance Contract, "the Reinsurer shall

promptly pay its proportion of such loss as set forth in the Declarations." Ex. A, at 2.

25. Notwithstanding receipt of the billings for the settlement made pursuant to

the CNI Policy, Argonaut has failed to pay the amounts due and owing.

26. Argonaut's failure to pay the amounts due and owing is a breach of the

Reinsurance Contract, and is without defense or justification.

COUNT TWO Breach of Duty of Utmost Good Faith and Dealing

27. CNI incorporates by reference paragraphs I through 26, as if those

averments were fully set forth herein.

28. Argonaut owes CNI a duty of utmost good faith and fair dealing.

29. CNI has provided all information requested by Argonaut and complied

with all of the terms and condition of the Reinsurance Certificates.

30. Argonaut has improperly refused to honor its obligations under the

Reinsurance Contract by not timely paying CNI's outstanding billings.

31. Argonaut's wrongful refusal to honor the obligations of the Reinsurance

Contract is a violation of its obligations.

32. As a direct and proximate cause of Argonaut's conduct, CNI has sustained

and continues to sustain damages, including incurring attorneys' fees and other costs in

connection with this lawsuit, which resulted from Argonaut's breach of its duty of utmost good

faith and fair dealing.

Case 2:14-cv-01925-JS Document 1 Filed 04/02/14 Page 5 of 35

Page 6: ACE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY complaint

33. CNI is therefore entitled to judgment against Argonaut for the breach of its

obligations owed to CNI, including Argonaut's breach of its duty of good faith and fair dealing,

and Argonaut is liable for all resulting damages, including attorneys' fees and interest.
