processors: The analogy is not terribly useful here, particularly given that the 2004 regulations suggest a more traditional meaning of “production.” The new regulations state that the “directly related” test is met by employees who “assist[ ] with the running or servicing of the business, as distinguished, for example, from working on a manufacturing production line or selling a product in a retail or service establishment.” 29 C.F.R. § 541.201(a) (2006). [Material Damage Appraisers] are obviously neither working on a manufacturing line nor “producing” anything in the literal sense. They are service providers, and the service they provide is the administration of insurance claims. Id. at 872-73 (emphasis added); cf. Reich v. John Alden Life Ins. Co., 126 F.3d 1, 10 (1st Cir.1997) (<HOLDING>). The Court finds the production/administrative
holding that crossdefault provisions in insurance policies were unenforceable because they would impermissibly restrict the debtors ability to assume some of the policies and reject others holding that subcontractors primary and excess insurance policies must pay first and before contractors own insurance recognizing that production of a written insurance policy was unnecessary to prove the existence of the policy because the proof required was proof of the fact of insurance and not of the contents of a writing holding claims for negligent procurement of insurance accrued on date the insured purchased the insurance policies recognizing that the employers principal production activity was the creation of insurance policies
