Section 13.03 Notice of Claim; Defense.

(a) If (i) any non-affiliated third party or Governmental Body institutes asserts any Action that may give rise to Losses for which a Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this Article XIII (a “Third-Party Claim”) or (ii) any Person that may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) desires to make a claim not involving a Third-Party Claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying the nature of such claim and a good faith estimate of the amount of all related Losses to the extent they are ascertainable (a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved from any of its indemnification obligations under this Article XIII as a result of a failure of the Indemnified Parties to provide a Claim Notice except to the extent that it is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may, by notice delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third-Party Claim, assume the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend any Third-Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the Indemnified Party or (ii) the Third-Party Claim would reasonably be expected to result in an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that would, in each case, have a material effect on the operation of the business of such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Subject to Section 13.03(b), in the event of a Third-Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Parties to represent such Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and shall pay the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel. Subject to Section 13.03(b), if the Indemnifying Party so elects, the Indemnified Parties may participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of their choice, in any such Action; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and (ii) the Indemnified Parties and their counsel shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in connection with such Action. To the extent such action can be taken in a way that does not unreasonably jeopardize the attorney-client privilege: (i) the Indemnified Party’s right to participate in the defense of any Action shall include the right to attend all significant internal meetings, all meetings with representatives of plaintiffs, hearings and the like; and (ii) counsel for a

Indemnified Party also shall be given a reasonable opportunity to comment upon all memoranda of law, pleadings and briefs and other documents relating to the Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall give reasonable consideration to the comments of counsel for the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Action without the relevant Indemnified Parties’ prior written consent, unless the terms of such settlement (A) provide for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages, (B) involve no finding or admission of any breach or violation by any Indemnified Party and (C) include an express unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising from such Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party does not promptly retain counsel and assume control of such defense, then the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Action and assume control of the defense in connection with such Action. Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party have any liability in connection with any settlement of any Action that is entered into without its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice involving a Third-Party Claim, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, experts and Representatives full access, during normal business hours, to the books, records, personnel and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to such Claim Notice at no cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties).

(e) In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article XIII.

Section 13.04 No Duplication; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) To the extent that an Administrator Indemnified Party or an XXX Indemnified Party has received payment in respect of a Loss pursuant to the provisions of any other Ancillary Agreement, such Administrator Indemnified Party or XXX Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for such Loss under this Agreement to the extent of such payment.

(b) Except with respect to claims alleging fraud and as otherwise provided under this Agreement or the provisions of any other Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing, the exclusive remedy of the Administrator, the Administrator Indemnified Parties, XXX and the XXX Indemnified Parties in connection with this Agreement (and any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder) and the transactions contemplated hereby (whether under this Agreement or arising under Applicable Law) shall be as provided in this Article XIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Administrator, on behalf of itself and each other Administrator Indemnified Party, and XXX, on behalf of itself and each other XXX Indemnified Party, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action

arising from, fraud) it may have against XXX or any of its Affiliates or Representatives and the Administrator or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, as the case may be, arising under or based upon this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith, except (x) pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XIII or (y) as otherwise provided under this Agreement or the provisions of any other Ancillary Agreement.

Section 13.07 Recovery by Indemnified Party.

(a) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third party not affiliated with such Indemnified Party any amount in respect of any Loss for which an Indemnifying Party has actually reimbursed it pursuant to this Article XIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(b) If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII could be recovered from a third party not affiliated with the relevant Indemnified Party (including under any applicable third-party insurance coverage) based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and, upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount recoverable from such third party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs incurred in connection with such collection. If any portion of Losses actually paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII could have been recovered from a third party not affiliated with the relevant Indemnified Party (including under any applicable third-party insurance coverage) based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall transfer, to the extent transferable, such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party any amount actually paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII.

Section 13.08 Relationship with Reinsurance Agreement. Nothing contained in this Article XIII is intended to amend or supersede any provision of the Reinsurance Agreement.

TAX MATTERS

Section 17.01 Premium Taxes.

(a) Quarterly Premium Tax Report. Within 20 calendar days of the end of each calendar quarter, the Administrator (i) will provide a report (a “Quarterly Premium Tax Report”) to XXX and (ii) will forward to XXX, in the Administrator’s capacity as the Reinsurer, any reimbursement for Premium Taxes and assessments due and payable by the Reinsurer in respect of the Covered Insurance Policies under the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement (a “Quarterly Premium Tax Payment”). Each Quarterly Premium Tax Report shall provide Premium and Premium Tax rate information by state, which information shall include, without limitation, the applicable rate for Premium Taxes for each state in the report. The Quarterly Premium Tax Payment accompanying a Quarterly Premium Tax Report shall be

calculated using the statutory rate for Premium Taxes in each of the states listed in the report.

(b) Retaliatory Premium Taxes. For purposes of preparing each Quarterly Premium Tax Report, XXX shall provide to the Administrator, in accordance with Section 17.01(c), such additional information as is necessary and appropriate for purposes of facilitating the Administrator’s calculation of retaliatory Premium Taxes for such preceding calendar quarter. Unless XXX (i) provides the Administrator with such additional information in accordance with Section 17.01(c) and (ii) certifies to the Administrator that the information so provided is the same as the information that will be reported on, or taken into account in preparing, ILA’s Premium Tax Returns for the taxable period to which the Quarterly Premium Tax Report relates, the Administrator shall calculate retaliatory Premium Taxes for the relevant Quarterly Premium Tax Report (x) based upon the difference between ILA’s state of domicile rate for Premium Taxes and the statutory rates for Premium Taxes of other applicable jurisdictions and (y) only when the rate for Premium Taxes of another jurisdiction is lower than the rate for Premium Taxes of ILA’s state of domicile.

(c) Requested Information. XXX shall provide to the Administrator on a timely basis any information within ILA’s possession or control that is reasonably requested by the Administrator in connection with the Administrator’s obligations under this Article XVII. The Quarterly Premium Tax Report shall be based on Premiums collected by the Administrator with respect to the Covered Insurance Policies pursuant to this Agreement and the information in its possession. XXX and the Administrator shall cooperate in the accurate preparation and timely filing of all Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Premium Taxes. Each Party shall furnish to the other Party all information and records reasonably requested by the other Party for use in the preparation, review or verification of all Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Premium Taxes. XXX will provide to Administrator copies of any communications received from a Taxing Authority relating to Premium Taxes or to any related credits, deductions or offsets.

(d) Credits, Deductions, Offsets. The Quarterly Premium Tax Report will indicate any credits, deductions, or offsets that reduce the Reinsurer’s obligation to reimburse XXX for Premium Taxes under the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement. If (i) a credit, deduction, or offset against Premium Taxes was reflected as an asset on the Closing Date Transfer Balance Sheet or (ii) the Reinsurer shall have reimbursed XXX under the Reinsurance Agreement for an assessment by any guaranty fund, insolvency fund, plan, pool, association, or any similar assessment that has given rise to a credit, deduction, or offset against Premium Taxes, and such credit, deduction or offset cannot be fully used by XXX to offset a liability for Premium Taxes for which the Reinsurer otherwise would be required to reimburse XXX, and the remainder of the credit, deduction or offset is applied against other Taxes payable by XXX, then such credit, deduction or offset shall be applied to reduce the Reinsurer’s obligation to reimburse XXX as reflected on the Quarterly Premium Tax Report for the next succeeding calendar quarter (or the first calendar quarter thereafter for which the Reinsurer would otherwise be required to reimburse XXX with respect to Premium Taxes under the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement). To the extent that XXX receives any refunds of amounts previously paid to a guarantee fund, plan, pool, or association or of any similar assessment, XXX shall reimburse the Administrator (in the Administrator’s capacity as the Reinsurer) to the extent such amount was reflected as an asset on the Closing Date Transfer Balance Sheet or the Reinsurer shall have reimbursed XXX under the

Reinsurance Agreement for the amount refunded.

(e) Pro Forma Schedule T. Within twenty (20) calendar days of the end of each calendar year, the Administrator shall prepare and provide XXX with a pro forma Schedule T with respect to the Administered Business for the preceding calendar year. The pro forma Schedule T will be prepared on the basis of the Quarterly Premium Tax Reports for the calendar year to which the pro forma Schedule T relates. XXX will file its Schedule T in a manner consistent with the pro forma Schedule T provided to it by the Administrator and will provide a copy of its filed Schedule T to the Administrator. Should the Administrator come into possession of any additional information that it would have used to prepare the pro forma Schedule T after it has provided the pro forma Schedule T to XXX in accordance with this Section 17.01(e), the Administrator shall promptly provide such additional information to XXX in writing, along with a reasonably detailed written explanation of what changes should be made to the pro forma Schedule T to reflect such additional information.

(f) Annual Premium Tax Report. The Administrator will provide XXX with a final annual report of Premiums and Premium Taxes for each calendar year of this Agreement (the “Annual Premium Tax Report”) on or before March 31st of the following calendar year. Each Annual Premium Tax Report (i) shall provide Premium and Premium Tax rate information by state, which information shall include, without limitation, the applicable rate for Premium Taxes for each state in the report and (ii) shall be prepared by the Administrator in a manner consistent with the pro forma Schedule T provided by the Administrator to XXX with respect to such calendar year pursuant to Section 17.01(e) (taking into account any additional information provided by the Administrator to XXX in accordance with the last sentence of Section 17.01(e)), as adjusted to reflect any additional information in the Administrator’s possession at the time the Annual Premium Tax Report is prepared and to take into account the definition of General Account Liabilities in the Reinsurance Agreement and Section 17.01(d). The Annual Premium Tax Report will reflect (x) any overpayment or underpayment of reimbursements by the Reinsurer for Premium Taxes due in respect of Premiums reported and paid to XXX with the Quarterly Premium Tax Reports for the calendar year to which the Annual Premium Tax Report relates and (y) any other relevant adjustments to Premium Taxes, which adjustments shall be described in reasonable detail in a schedule to the Annual Premium Tax Report. Such overpayment or underpayment will be reconciled in conjunction with the next Quarterly Premium Tax Payment following ILA’s receipt of the Annual Premium Tax Report.

(g) Notice. Each of XXX and the Administrator shall promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt by it or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened Action related to any Premium Taxes or any Tax Returns filed in connection with such Taxes.

(h) Actions. XXX shall have the sole right to control the conduct of any Action related to any Premium Taxes or any Tax Returns filed in connection with such Premium Taxes, and to employ counsel of ILA’s choice at ILA’s expense; provided, that the Administrator shall be permitted, at the Administrator’s expense, to be present at, and to participate in, any such Action. Notwithstanding such control, XXX shall not settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Premium Taxes without the consent of the Administrator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

XXX and the Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the preparation for any Tax audit or other Action related to Taxes, and the prosecution or defense of any Action related to any Premium Taxes or any Tax Returns filed in connection with such Premium Taxes. XXX and the Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Action related to any Premium Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require XXX to provide the Administrator access to any federal, state, or local consolidated income Tax Return that includes XXX or its Affiliates. Any information obtained under this Section 17.01(h) shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise reasonably may be required in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for Tax refunds or in conducting any Action related to Taxes.

Section 17.02 Tax Information Reporting, Withholding, and Depositing.

(a) The Administrator shall be responsible for all Tax information reporting, withholding, and depositing required under Applicable Law with respect to the Administered Business. All Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to such Tax information reporting, withholding, and depositing shall be accurate and complete in all material respects, and filed by the Administrator on a timely basis and, where required by Applicable Law, shall be accompanied by the correct amount of required payments or deposits of Taxes.

(b) Upon ILA’s reasonable request, the Administrator shall (i) provide XXX reasonable access during normal business hours to (A) review, audit, or copy any Tax Returns for which the Administrator is responsible under Article XVII (either prior to or following the filing of such Tax Returns) and (B) review the Administrator’s processes and operations with respect to its obligations under Article XVII, provided that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Administrator; (ii) provide information to XXX demonstrating the Administrator’s compliance with Article XVII; and (iii) cooperate with XXX in connection with any Action related to any Tax Return for which the Administrator is responsible under Article XVII (provided that such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Administrator).

Section 17.03 Sales Taxes. XXX shall reimburse the Administrator for all sales, value-added, goods and services, or similar Taxes (including any such Taxes that are collected through withholding, but excluding any Taxes based upon, or calculated by reference to, the income, receipts, or capital of the Administrator, which Taxes shall be solely the liability of the Administrator) imposed on or paid by the Administrator with respect to its receipt of payments from XXX under this Agreement; provided that the Administrator shall provide XXX with written notice that, and information reasonably sufficient to verify that, such Taxes have been paid or are payable by the Administrator. In any case where the Administrator has not previously paid such Taxes, the Administrator shall promptly make payment of such Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Body upon receipt of the reimbursement from XXX.

Section 17.04 Reinsurer Product Tax Liabilities. To the extent that the Reinsurer is liable under the Reinsurance Agreement for any Reinsurer Extra-Contractual Obligations that relate to the Tax treatment or the Tax status of one or more Covered Insurance Policies (“Reinsurer Product Tax Liabilities”), including, without limitation, any Losses described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 12.6(a) of the Purchase Agreement, XXX and the Administrator

shall cooperate in the defense and resolution of any Action related to such Reinsurer Product Tax Liabilities, provided that such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of either Party.

Section 17.05 Conflicts. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, with respect to the matters specifically set forth in this Article XVII, the provisions of this Article XVII shall control. To the extent not provided for in this Article XVII or any other provisions of this Agreement, including the schedules to the same, matters related to Taxes shall be governed by the Purchase Agreement, the Reinsurance Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Trust Agreement, or another Ancillary Agreement, as applicable and as appropriate.
