AMENDMENT No. 1 TO MODIFIED COINSURANCE AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT No. 1 TO MODIFIED COINSURANCE AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of November 20th, 2007 by and among Protective Lite Insurance Company, as successor to Chase Insurance Life & Annuity Company (the “Company”) and Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company, formerly known as Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Reinsurer”) (together, the “Parties”).

Recitals

A. The Company ceded to the Reinsurer the Company’s liability arising under certain variable annuity contracts, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Modified Coinsurance Agreement dated July 3, 2006 (the “VA Agreement”).

B. The Company also ceded to the Reinsurer specified liabilities of the Company arising under certain variable universal life policies, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Modified Coinsurance Agreement dated August 17, 2007 (the “VUL Agreement”).

C. The Parties desire to amend the VA Agreement so as to coordinate certain of its provisions with corresponding provisions of the VUL Agreement.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be received by the Parties and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties agree that the recitals set forth above are adopted and made part of this Amendment and further agree as follows:

1. The following definitions as set forth in Section 1.1 of the VA Agreement are hereby added or amended and restated as follows:

“Average Combined Modified Coinsurance Reserve” means (a) plus (b) divided by 2, where:

(a) is equal to Combined General Account Liabilities less Combined IMR less Combined Policy Loans at the beginning of the quarter; and

(b) is equal to Combined General Account Liabilities less Combined IMR less Combined Policy Loans at the end of the quarter.

“Average Modified Coinsurance Reserve” means (a) plus (b) divided by 2, where:

(a) is equal to General Account Liabilities less IMR less policy loans related to the Policies reinsured under this Agreement, each as of the beginning of the quarter; and

(b) is equal to General Account Liabilities less IMR less policy loans related to the Policies reinsured under this Agreement, each as of the end of the quarter.

“CILAC” means Chase Insurance Life & Annuity Company.

“Combined General Account Assets” means the General Account Assets under this Agreement, together with the General Account Assets under the VUL Agreement.

“Combined General Account Liabilities” means the General Account Liabilities under this Agreement, together with the General Account Liabilities under the VUL Agreement.

“Combined IMR” means (i) realized gains minus realized losses of the Combined General Account Assets caused by changes in interest rates in a calendar quarter; minus (ii) the amortization of such amounts in (i), with items (i) and (ii) based on the NAIC Life and Health Annual Statement Instructions (allowing for negative balances), beginning on July 1, 2007.

“Combined Policy Loans” means policy loans related to the Policies reinsured under this Agreement, together with those related to the Policies reinsured under the VUL Agreement.

“IMR” means (a) Scheduled IMR plus (b) Future Combined IMR multiplied by the VA Allocation Ratio, where these terms have the following meanings:

(a) “Scheduled IMR” means the interest maintenance reserve at any point in time, as set forth in Exhibit R, and linearly interpolated for any time between the two nearest scheduled dates: and

(b) “Future Combined IMR” means (i) realized gains minus realized losses of the Combined General Account Assets caused by changes in interest rates in a calendar quarter, minus (ii) the amortization of such amounts in (i), with items (i) and (ii) based on the NAIC Life and Health Annual Statement Instructions (allowing for negative balances), beginning on July 1, 2007.

“IMR Adjustment” the (i) sum total of (a) minus (b) multiplied by 1.358, plus (ii) (c) minus (d) divided by (1 minus the then-highest corporate tax rate), and multiplied by the VA Allocation Ratio, where:

(a) is equal to Scheduled IMR at the beginning of the quarter;

(b) is equal to Scheduled IMR at the end of such quarter;

-2-

(c) is equal to Future Combined IMR at the beginning of the quarter; and

(d) is equal to Future Combined IMR at the end of such quarter.

“VA Allocation Ratio” means the Average Modified Coinsurance Reserve divided by the Average Combined Modified Coinsurance Reserve.

2. Section 2.2 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) At the Closing Date and thereafter, the Company shall establish and maintain in its books and records a notional account (the “Modco Deposit”) into which shall be allocated all General Account Assets, provided that at the Effective Date, the statutory book value of the General Account Assets shall be at least equal to the General Account Liabilities. The Reinsurer shall manage the General Account Assets, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to effectuate all trading and other decisions made with respect to the General Account Assets, including (subject to any restrictions in the KILICO Agreement or KILICO Security Trust) the creation or arrangement of separate custodial accounts or sub-accounts within the KILICO Security Trust for the Combined General Account Assets. In the event that KILICO objects to either (i) the creation or arrangement of separate custodial accounts or any sub-accounts within the KILICO Security Trust, or (ii) the Company’s efforts to permit the Reinsurer to deal directly with the trustee of the KILICO Security Trust with respect to the management of the General Account Assets, the Parties will cooperate (each at its own expense) to resolve the objection or take other appropriate action in an attempt to preserve anticipated economic benefits to the Parties under this Agreement.

(b) In the event that an asset allocated to the Modco Deposit is replaced with another asset held in the Company’s general account, such asset must be of substantially similar liquidity, credit quality, book value, yield, duration and fair market value as the replaced asset. The restrictions in the immediately prior sentence shall not, however, apply to transactions with non-Affiliates of Company as part of Reinsurer’s management of the General Account Assets pursuant to this Section. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not create or suggest the existence of a right by the Company to replace or substitute assets allocated to the Modco Deposit.

3. Section 2.5 of the VA Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Extra Contractual Obligations. The Reinsurer agrees to indemnity reinsure 100% of any Extra Contractual Obligation arising from (a) acts, errors or omissions of the Reinsurer or the Reinsurer’s employees, agents or subcontractors, unless such act, error or omission was taken at the specific written direction or instruction of a Designated Representative of the Company or CILAC; (b) acts, errors or omissions of the Company, CILAC or their respective employees, agents or subcontractors that were taken at the specific written direction, instruction, recommendation or request of a Designated Representative of the Reinsurer; and (c) post Closing Date sales of Policies made in accordance with Section 12.4. In addition, and subject to a maximum liability and aggregate

-3-

limit of $2.5 million, the Reinsurer agrees to indemnity reinsure 50% of the Company’s first $5 million of Extra Contractual Obligations arising from acts, errors or omissions of CILAC or CILAC’s employees, agents or subcontractors occurring prior to the Effective Date, provided that (i) the total of such Extra Contractual Obligations shall be reduced by any actual recoveries under any insurance policies or similar indemnity agreements, other than SPA Indemnification Claims (which shall be handled in accordance with Section 9.5) and (ii) the aggregate limit of $2.5 million for pre-Effective Date Extra Contractual Obligations covered under this Section shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Reinsurer in connection with such pre-Effective Date Extra Contractual Obligations pursuant to Section 2.5 of the VUL Agreement and similarly, the aggregate limit of $2.5 million under the VUL Agreement shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Reinsurer in connection with such pre-Effective Date Extra Contractual Obligations pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement.

4. Section 3.1(b) of the VA Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(b) The Reinsurer shall provide prompt notice, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, at any time the Reinsurer reasonably believes that it will not be able to assume responsibility for the Administrative Services by the one year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company agrees that, upon such notice, it will extend the Administrative Transfer Date for a period of no more than ninety (90) days after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date. During any extension of the Administrative Transfer Date under this paragraph, the Reinsurer shall pay the Company a monthly rate of one-twelfth of $85.00 for each Policy (or, in the case of group Policies, each individual certificate or contract) in effect as of the first day of the extension and as of each monthly anniversary thereafter. During such extension of the Administrative Transfer Date, the Reinsurer shall also pay the Company the following amounts: (1) commercially reasonable retention bonuses for the employees to be retained by the Company to provide the Administrative Services; (2) all costs of continuing to operate the administrative systems related to the Direct Business and the Indirect Business, including without limitation any contract extensions, license fees, penalties and kill fees, that would not otherwise have been incurred; (3) all rent, moving costs and other costs of providing a facility for continuing to provide the Administrative Services; and (4) all costs associated with regulatory filings and mailings, including, but not limited to, prospectuses and annual or other periodic reports.

5. Section 4.1(a) of the VA Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) “Revenues on Policies and Non-Transferred Assets” means the statutory revenues associated with the Separate Account Assets, the General Account Assets, and the Policies, including without limitation, all (1) premiums net of administrative fee and deposit charges; (2) administrative fees and deposit charges deducted pursuant to the Policies; (3) income from fees arising from investment management, administration, and contract guarantees from Separate Accounts collected, market value adjustments collected, back-end charges collected and any other fees, charges or expenses under the

-4-

Policies; (4) revenues and fees received by the Company from funds or fund managers under all participation agreements, revenue sharing arrangements, administrative services agreements, advisory agreements and similar agreements or arrangements; and (5) with respect to the General Account Assets, (i) net investment income on the Combined General Account Assets (taking into account all foreign Tax credits received in respect of such investment income), multiplied by the VA Allocation Ratio, (ii) interest earned on policy loans, (iii) realized gains and losses on the Combined General Account Assets, multiplied by the VA Allocation Ratio, and (iv) the IMR Adjustment. Unless stated otherwise, all terms used in this paragraph shall have the same definitions as these terms are used in CILAC’s 2006 convention form statutory annual statement as filed with the Insurance Department of Illinois.

6. Section 12.8 of the VA Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which includes amounts to be determined by reference to the VUL Agreement) represents the entire understanding between the Parties concerning the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all other agreements between the Parties, oral or written, respecting the subject matter hereof, other than the VUL Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties, their permitted assigns, delegees and successors (including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of a Party).
