Such deposits and/or withdrawals can occur at any time during a Reporting Period notwithstanding the quarterly Funds Withheld Settlement process, and the Cedent may withdraw and/or deposit amounts to cover payments at any time that are reasonably expected to be required and related to the Policies (“Advance Payments”). The Funds Withheld Settlement will be adjusted accordingly to reflect such Advance Payments.

ARTICLE 6

POLICY CHANGES

Policies experiencing non-contractual replacements or non-contractual changes made in the terms and conditions of any Policy, other than changes mandated by applicable Law, shall be treated as surrendered unless Captive has provided Consent to each such change. Cedent agrees to give Captive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any proposed change in the terms and conditions of any Policy (including changes mandated by applicable Law), and Cedent shall not make any such change without receiving Captive’s Consent (unless required by applicable Law). Conversions of a Policy to another form of insurance in accordance with its terms or with the consent of Captive shall be reinsured hereunder and any such conversion shall considered to be a Policy hereunder.

ARTICLE 7

TERMINATION FOR NON-PAYMENT

7.01 Notice of Termination for Non-Payment. If Cedent fails to pay an amount due to Captive or the Funds Withheld Account by the date such amount is due (the “Nonpayment Date”), Captive will give Cedent notice that the reinsurance coverage hereunder shall terminate as of the Nonpayment Date if such overdue amount is not paid to Captive with interest at the Delinquency Rate within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice. If such notice has been given by Captive and such owed amount with interest at the Delinquency Rate is not paid to Captive within such thirty (30)-day period, all reinsurance coverage under this Agreement shall terminate as of, and Captive shall have no further liability from, the Nonpayment Date.

7.02 Payment Liability. Notwithstanding any termination under Section 7.01, Cedent shall remain liable to Captive for any unpaid amounts as of the effective date of such termination, plus interest at the Delinquency Rate to the date of payment.

7.03 Settlement on Termination. In the event of a termination under this Article 7, the parties shall settle the Termination Amount. If the Termination Amount is greater than zero, then Cedent shall remit such amount to Captive on or before the Termination Date; if the Termination Amount is less than zero, Captive shall remit such amount to Cedent on or before the Termination Date; provided, however, that under no circumstances may Cedent or Captive seek payment under the XOL Agreement in respect of the payment of the Termination Amount.

ARTICLE 8

RECAPTURE

Upon mutual written agreement of the Captive and Cedent, the Cedent may, after obtaining the approval or non-disapproval of the Applicable Authority of Cedent, recapture all Policies, effective as of the last day of a Reporting Period (a “Recapture”). Any recapture payment to be made between the parties shall be on terms mutually agreed.

ARTICLE 9

CREDIT FOR REINSURANCE

The parties intend that Cedent shall receive statutory reserve credit for the reinsurance ceded under this Agreement in respect of each Reporting Period in the amount of the Statutory Reserves. The parties intend that Cedent shall recognize reserve credit security collateral equal to the result of the Funds Withheld Balance calculated in respect of such Reporting Period, plus the XOL Asset Value calculated in respect of such Reporting Period. In the event that the Cedent Domicile disallows any portion of such credit for reinsurance or any portion of such reserve credit security collateral, Cedent and Captive shall have only those rights which are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the XOL Agreement. All of the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 are to be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of either Cedent or Captive.

ARTICLE 10

INSOLVENCY

10.01 Payment of Benefits under an Insolvency. In the event of the insolvency of Cedent, all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by Captive directly to Cedent or to its statutory liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of Cedent under the Policies without diminution because of the insolvency of Cedent, except where (a) the Policy specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of such insolvency or (b) Captive, with the consent of the direct insured or insureds, has assumed such policy obligations of the Cedent as direct obligations of Captive to the payees under such Policies and in substitution for the obligations of Cedent to such payees.

10.02 Required Notice of and Defense against Claims. In the event of the insolvency of Cedent while reinsurance as to any Policy is in effect under this Agreement, the conservator, liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of Cedent shall give Captive written notice of the pendency of a claim against Cedent on a Policy within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of any such claim, Captive may, at its own expense, investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses which Captive may deem available to Cedent or its conservator, liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by Captive shall be payable, subject to court approval, out of the estate of Cedent as a part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to Cedent in conservation or liquidation solely as a result of the defense undertaken by Captive. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elects to interpose the defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent Cedent.

ARTICLE 11

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.01 Arbitration of Disputes.

(a) As a condition precedent to any right of action arising under this Agreement, any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, as well as the formation and/or validity thereof, whether arising before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be referred to and resolved in binding arbitration in accordance with the following provisions. Each party may request arbitration in writing, such request to be using the notice provisions set forth in Section 13.10.

(b) Such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS in accordance with the provisions of JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as in effect at the time of the arbitration.

(c) The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, in accordance with its rules, who has at least ten (10) years’ experience in the insurance or reinsurance industry and who is not an Affiliate of any party to such arbitration and does not have any potential for bias or conflict of interest with respect to either of the parties hereto, directly or indirectly, by virtue of any direct or indirect financial interest, family relationship or close friendship.

(d) The parties, any arbitrator, and their agents or representatives, shall keep confidential and not disclose to any non-party the existence of the arbitration, non-public materials and information provided in the arbitration by another party, and orders or awards made in the arbitration (together, the “Arbitration Confidential Information”). If a party or an arbitrator wishes to involve in the arbitration a non-party-including a fact or expert witness, stenographer, translator, or any other person—the party or arbitrator shall make reasonable efforts to secure the non-party’s advance agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the Arbitration Confidential Information. This Section 11.01(d) survives termination of this Agreement and of any arbitration brought pursuant to this Agreement. This Section 11.01(d)

may be enforced by an arbitral tribunal or any court of competent jurisdiction, and an application to a court to enforce this Section 11.01(d) shall not waive or in any way derogate from the agreement to arbitrate. The parties shall attempt to file arbitration papers “under seal” or under similar designation to preserve and ensure the confidential nature of the proceeding.

(e) The arbitrator’s decision and award in any such arbitration shall be made and delivered within thirty (30) calendar days after the conclusion of the evidentiary hearings.

(f) The arbitrator shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by rules of procedure and evidence. The arbitration shall take place in Hartford, Connecticut unless otherwise agreed between the parties to the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator when rendered in writing shall be final and binding. The arbitrator is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(g) Each party to the arbitration shall bear, jointly and equally with the other parties to the arbitration, the costs of JAMS (including those of the arbitrator) incurred in connection with any arbitration. The arbitrator will allocate the remaining costs of the arbitration. The arbitrator may, at its discretion, award such further costs, interest and expenses as it considers appropriate, including without limitation, legal fees, provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not award punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

11.02 Governing Law. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties, the parties expressly agree that all terms and provisions hereof shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Connecticut applicable to contracts made and to be performed, and to transactions wholly consummated within that State.

ARTICLE 12

DAC TAX ELECTION

Cedent and Captive each represent and warrant that it is subject to taxation under Subchapter “L” of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended). With respect to this Agreement, Cedent and Captive agree to the following pursuant to Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations issued December 1992 whereby: (a) each party agrees to attach a schedule to its federal income tax return which identifies this Agreement for which the joint election under the regulation has been made; (b) the party with net positive consideration (as defined in the regulation promulgated under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) for this Agreement for each taxable year agrees to capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of Section 848(c)(1); (c) each party agrees to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net consideration under this Agreement each year to ensure consistency; and (d) this election shall be effective for the year that this Agreement was entered into and for all subsequent years that this Agreement remains in effect.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.01 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior discussions and understandings between the parties and, upon its execution, constitutes the sole and entire Agreement with respect to the reinsurance provided hereunder. There are no understandings between the parties other than as expressed in this Agreement. Any waiver shall constitute a waiver only in the circumstances for which it was given and shall not be a waiver of any future circumstance.

13.02 Inspection of Records. Either party, their respective employees or authorized representatives (including Retrocessionaire), may audit, inspect and examine, during regular business hours, at the home office of either party, any and all books, records, statements, correspondence, reports, trust accounts and their related documents or other documents that relate to the policies covered hereunder. The audited party agrees to provide a reasonable work space for such audit, inspection or examination and to cooperate fully and to faithfully disclose the existence of and produce any and all necessary and reasonable materials requested by such auditors, investigators, or examiners. The party performing a routine audit shall provide five (5) Business Days’ advance notice to the other party and shall perform such an audit no more than once per year, unless the other party has materially breached this Agreement and such breach is continuing. The expense of the respective party’s employee(s) or authorized representative(s) engaged in such activities will be borne solely by such party.

13.03 Severability. If any term or provision under this Agreement shall be held or made invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, such term or provision shall be amended to the extent necessary to conform with the law and all of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If the term or provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable is also held to be a material part of this Agreement, such that the party in whose favor the material term or provision was stipulated herein would not have entered into this Agreement without such term or provision, then the party in whose favor the material term or provision was stipulated shall have the right, upon such holding, to terminate this Agreement.

13.04 Enforcement of Rights; Power of Attorney; Acknowledgement. Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing in this Agreement will confer any rights upon any third party, including without limitation, any insured, policy owner, agent, beneficiary or assignee. Cedent further agrees that it will not seek to join Captive as a party to any litigation between any third party and Cedent.

13.05 Offset. Any payment obligations, debts or credits, in favor of or against either Captive or Cedent under or with respect to this Agreement, whether matured, unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, are deemed mutual debts or credits and shall automatically, without any further action required of either party, be offset, and only the balance shall be allowed or paid. The function of this Section 13.05, including the automatic nature of offset, will not be affected or diminished because of the insolvency of either party. As an explicit statement of the parties’ mutual intent, and notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, there shall be no obligation under this Agreement on the part of either party to actually transfer to the other party any amount which would otherwise be netted to zero pursuant to this Section 13.05.

13.06 Currency. All payments (including but not limited to all premiums and benefits payable) under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars.

13.07 Errors and Omissions. Unintentional clerical errors, omissions or misunderstandings in the administration of this Agreement by either Cedent or Captive shall not invalidate the reinsurance hereunder; provided, that the error, omission or misunderstanding is corrected promptly after discovery. Both companies shall be restored, to the extent possible, to the position they would have occupied had the error, omission or misunderstanding not occurred, but the liability of Captive under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the limits specified herein.

13.08 Exhibits and Section Headings. Exhibits attached hereto are made a part of this Agreement. Section headings are provided for reference purposes only and are not made a part of this Agreement.

Cedent will administer, or will cause the Policies to be administered, in accordance with applicable Law, with reasonable care, skill, diligence and prudence in good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement and in a manner consistent with practices and procedures followed by persons with experience in the administration of annuities and reinsurance businesses, using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which Cedent exercises with respect to comparable services it performs for itself with respect to business it does not reinsure. Cedent will not change its claims paying, underwriting or administrative practices with respect to the Policies in a manner reasonably expected to adversely affect the rights, remedies and position of Captive in any respect without the Consent of Captive.

13.10 Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing (including by electronic transmission) and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or email with PDF attachment, as follows:
