As part of the Cut-Through Option, the Reinsurer also may elect, in it sole discretion, for the Insurers and the Reinsurer to issue a related endorsement for the designated Policies. The Reinsurer’s election, if any, to pursue either the Novation Option or the Cut-Through Option, shall be subject to obtaining any regulatory approvals, consents or confirmations deemed necessary or advisable by the Reinsurer, in its sole discretion.

4. Each Insurer agrees to execute and deliver to the Reinsurer any further instruments or assurances that the Reinsurer may reasonably request for more effectual vesting of the Reinsurer’s right, title and interest in the following, except to the extent that any such amounts are attributable to Retained Policy Liabilities: any premiums, premium adjustments, reinsurance receivables, balances due from agents, amounts due on policy loans, accrued interest receivables, rights, assets and recoveries received by the Insurers at or after January 1, 2001 in respect of any of the Policies or the satisfaction of Policy Liabilities. Such action shall include, without limitation, each Insurer’s execution and delivery of any financing statements reasonably requested by the Reinsurer to the extent that it may appear appropriate to the Reinsurer to file such financing statements under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

5.

ARTICLE VI

REINSURANCE CREDIT

1. Licensed or Accredited Status. The Reinsurer is, and shall maintain its status as, a licensed life insurer or accredited life reinsurer in all jurisdictions of the United States where necessary so that the Insurers, in the statements required to be filed with their regulatory authority(ies), shall receive full credit as admitted reinsurance for all of the Reinsurer’s share of the Obligations (as defined in this Article).

2. Reinsurance Credit. If a jurisdiction of the United States will not permit any Insurer, in the statements required to be filed with its regulatory authority(ies), to receive full credit as admitted reinsurance for any of the Reinsurer’s share of Obligations (as defined in this Article), such Insurer may, in its discretion, in the case of each such instance and for each applicable filing date, elect to forward to the Reinsurer a statement of the Reinsurer’s share of such Obligations. If the Insurer and the Reinsurer, cooperating reasonably, cannot resolve the matter with insurance regulatory authority(ies) in the applicable jurisdiction(s) within thirty (30) days of the Reinsurer’s receipt of such statement, then the Reinsurer shall, at its option, promptly either:

	(a)		Provide such Insurer with a letter of credit that complies with the terms of New York Insurance Regulation 133, in the amount specified in the statement submitted so that full credit as admitted reinsurance shall be given for the Obligations of the Reinsurer under this Agreement; or

	(b)		Establish a trust account for the benefit of such Insurer in compliance with the terms of New York Insurance Regulation 114, at least in the amount specified in the statement submitted so that full credit as admitted reinsurance shall be given for the Obligations of the Reinsurer under this Agreement. The assets in the trust account shall be pledged to the Insurer in accordance with a securities pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer in order to perfect a security interest in favor of the Insurer in the trust account under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

3. Definition. “Obligations”, as used in this Article, shall mean the sum of the following, all determined in accordance with SAP (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), losses paid by the relevant Insurer but not yet recovered from the Reinsurer, plus the relevant Insurer’s reserves for future policy benefits, including, but not limited to, active life reserves for universal life and permanent life insurance contracts, group life premium waiver reserves and long term disability reserves, the relevant Insurer’s reserves for reported losses and benefits and claim expenses, and losses, benefits and claim expenses incurred but not reported and premiums unearned, if any, with respect to the Policies.

4. Security Trust Agreement. At the Closing or at any time thereafter, if the Obligations ceded by an Insurer under this Agreement exceed $50 million, the Reinsurer shall transfer to a trust account, for the benefit of such Insurer, assets adequate to secure such Insurer’s Obligations, which trust account shall be established under, and be governed by the terms of, the Security Trust Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Security Trust Agreement”). Such trust account shall be in effect for the term provided for in the Security Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Obligations ceded to the Reinsurer under this Agreement and the Amended and Restated CAC Reinsurance Agreement (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) are less than $250 million in the aggregate, the Reinsurer shall not be obligated to establish or maintain any trust account pursuant to this Section 4 of Article VI.

ARTICLE VII

NET LIABILITIES, TRANSFER OF ASSETS AND CEDING COMMISSION

1. Net GAAP Liabilities Calculation. No later than the Original Effective Time (as defined in the following paragraph), each Insurer prepared and distributed to Reinsurer, a statement, as of December 31, 2000, of all Net GAAP Liabilities for the Subject Business. Net GAAP Liabilities for purposes of such statement consisted of all insurance liabilities associated with the policies, including claim and claim expense reserves, reserves for future policy benefits (such as active life reserves, unearned premium reserves and advance premiums), policyholder funds left on deposit, reserves in provision of rate credits payable under experience rated contracts, unpaid commissions, accrued premium taxes and guaranty association assessments, allocable valuation fees imposed under state law, amounts payable under reinsurance contracts and accrued interest due on all unpaid liabilities; net of insurance assets associated with the policies, including due and uncollected premiums, balances due from agents, policy, loans, amounts due under reinsurance contracts and accrued interest receivable on all amounts due and uncollected. Such statement was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a basis consistent with the financial reporting and accounting practices of the Insurers with respect to the Subject Business (“Historical GAAP”) and was binding on all parties for purposes of determining the cash transfer pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Article VII. The calculation of the Net GAAP Liabilities, as of December 31, 2000, of the Subject Business of the Insurers was $1,167,848,949.

2. Transfer of Assets. On or before March 31, 2001 (or as promptly as practicable following compliance with insurance laws and regulations requiring prior notice or approval of transactions between affiliated insurance companies) (the “Original Effective Time”) and as partial consideration for the reinsurance of liability by the Reinsurer with respect to the Policies, the Insurers transferred to the Reinsurer cash and/or investment securities designated by the Insurers (and valued at market value as of the time of transfer) equal in value to the amount determined pursuant to the statement described in paragraph 1 of this Article VII. In addition to and together with the principal amount described and transferred in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Insurers also transferred cash and/or investment securities equal in value to six percent (6%) per annum simple interest on the described principal amount for the period between January 1, 2001 and the actual date of transfer.

3. Interim Period Adjustment. The parties computed both (a) the aggregate amount collected by Insurers in respect of Policies (not including balances, receivables, accruals, rights and other items assigned in kind pursuant to Article V) between January 1, 2001 and the Original Effective Time (the “Stub Period”), and (b) the aggregate amount paid during the Stub Period in respect of Policy Liabilities (not including liabilities assumed by Reinsurer at the Original Effective Time pursuant to Article V). The difference between (a) and (b) (the “Stub Amount”) was resolved by payment of the Stub Amount (plus or minus any net interest and investment return during the Stub Period that was neither assigned or assumed pursuant to Article V nor addressed by the 6% per annum interest allowance otherwise specified in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Article VII), from the Insurers to Reinsurer if the Stub Amount was positive and from Reinsurer to Insurers if the Stub Amount was negative. Payment of the Stub Amount (adjusted as described for any net interest or investment return) was made by addition to or subtraction from the first quarterly payment due under paragraph 5 following, it being understood that the purpose of the foregoing described payment computation was to transfer effectively the financial results of Subject Business operations during the Stub Period from Insurers to Reinsurer. Any irreconcilable dispute between the parties with respect to the conformity of the statements delivered in accordance with this Article VII to Historical GAAP was resolved by the firm of Deloitte & Touche.

4. Initial Ceding Commission. Insurers, on the Original Effective Time, received a one time ceding commission in the amount of $42,528,200, plus six percent (6%) per annum simple interest upon said amount for the period between January 1, 2001 and the date of receipt by Insurers.

5. Additional Ceding Commission. The Reinsurer shall pay to the Insurers a ceding commission equal to the amount determined in accordance with Schedule C to this Agreement on all direct premiums written on and after the Revised Effective Time through December 31, 2005 on all Policies.

6. Commutation. The Insurers and Reinsurer acknowledge and agree that: (a) as of the Revised Effective Time, the Insurers and the Reinsurer completed a commutation

of certain risks, liabilities and obligations pursuant to the Commutation Agreement; (b) all risks, liabilities and obligations subject to such Commutation Agreement have been commuted and transferred to the Insurers; (c) none of such risks, obligations or liabilities are reinsured under this Agreement; and (d) no consideration is payable under this Agreement by the Reinsurer to the Insurers in respect of such commutation.

7. Monthly Reconciliation. Insurers will incur Tax/Assessment Liabilities, and miscellaneous expenses, including but not limited to commissions and other acquisition costs, related to the Policies. Within 30 days following the close of each calendar month, the Insurers will report such expenses to Reinsurer, and Reinsurer will, to the extent the foregoing expenses are included within the Policy Liabilities and Reinsurer has not already paid (from the Reinsurer’s funds, including premiums ceded under this Agreement) the foregoing expenses on behalf of the Insurers to third parties, pay the unsatisfied portion thereof to the Insurers within 15 days of receiving the report. The foregoing monthly report and following payment shall also include and account for other activity relating to the Subject Business requiring financial settlement under this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement between the Insurers and the Reinsurer, including, without limitation, ceding commissions payable under Section 5 of this Article VII.

ARTICLE VIII

INSOLVENCY

1. Payments. In the event of the insolvency of an Insurer and the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, this reinsurance shall be payable by the Reinsurer immediately upon demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Insurer as a result of claims allowed against the Insurer by any court of competent jurisdiction or any liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor having authority to allow such claims, without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims.

2. Direction of Payments. Payments by the Reinsurer as above set forth shall be made directly to the Insurer or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, except where (1) this Agreement specifies another payee in the event of the insolvency of the Insurer, or (2) the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insureds has assumed such policy obligations of the Insurer as its direct obligations to the payees under the Policies, in substitution for the obligations of the Insurer to such payees.

3. Notice of Claims. In the event of the insolvency of an Insurer, the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Insurer shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the insolvent Insurer on the Policies within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and during the pendency of such claim the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses

which it may deem available to the Insurer or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable subject to court approval against the insolvent Insurer as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Insurer solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

4. Apportionment. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose 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 Insurer.

5. Set-Off. Except as expressly stated herein, it is understood and agreed that any debits or credits, liquidated or unliquidated, in favor of or against Reinsurer and an Insurer, under this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement and, with respect to undisputed amounts and amounts provided for in a final judgment not subject to appeal, the Stock Purchase Agreement, on the date of the entry of the receivership or liquidation order, are deemed mutual debits or credits, as the case may be, and shall be set off and the balance only shall be allowed or paid. Although such claim, if any, on the part of either such party against the other may be unliquidated or undetermined in amount on the date of the entry of the receivership or liquidation order, such claim, if any, is hereby deemed to be in existence as of such date. Any credits or claims then in existence and held by the other party may be offset against it.

ARTICLE IX

NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY RIGHTS

The Reinsurer’s reinsurance of 100% of the Policy Liabilities of the Insurers with respect to the Policies is intended for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right on the part of any third party, including, without limitation, any policyholder, Certificateholder, insured, claimant or beneficiary under or agent, broker or producer for such Policies against the Reinsurer or any legal relation between any third-party and the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE X

DIVIDENDS; NON-GUARANTEED ELEMENTS

Except as required under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of any Policy, the Insurers shall not declare or pay dividends on any participating Policy or reset any non-guaranteed element of any Policy, unless requested by the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE XI

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as soon as reasonably possible after discovery.

ARTICLE XII

COOPERATION

The parties shall cooperate with one another in a commercially reasonable manner to carry out and implement the terms and objectives of this Agreement, and shall perform such further acts, execute such further documents and enter into such further agreements as are commercially reasonable and reasonably necessary to carry out and implement the terms and objectives of the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall permit the other (and its authorized representatives) reasonable access to examine its premises, files and records relating to the Subject Business and each party shall make reasonably available to the other party (and its authorized representatives) responsible officials for reasonable consultation for the purpose of more fully carrying out the terms and objectives of this Agreement, provided that the same be at the examining party’s sole cost and expense, requested during normal business hours of the non-examining party, and upon reasonable notice to and without unreasonably disrupting the business of the non-examining party. Such access and consultation shall be at the cost of the requesting party. Each party shall retain, in accordance with its corporate retention policies, all files and records related to the Subject Business, but in any event for a period not less than ten years following the Revised Effective Time.

Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the members of the Board shall be impartial and disinterested and shall be active or former officers of life insurance companies, reinsurance companies, or Lloyd’s Underwriters or active or inactive lawyers with at least twenty (20) years of experience in insurance and reinsurance. The Insurers, together, and Reinsurer shall each appoint an arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators shall choose an umpire before instituting the hearing. If the respondent fails to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after having received claimant’s written request for arbitration, the claimant is authorized to and shall appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an umpire within thirty (30) days after notification of the appointment of the second arbitrator, within ten (10) days thereof, the two (2) arbitrators shall request the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) to appoint an umpire for the arbitration with the qualifications set forth in this Article. If the AAA fails to name an umpire, either party may apply to the court named below to appoint an umpire with the above required qualifications. The umpire shall promptly notify in writing all parties to the arbitration of his selection and of the scheduled date for the hearing. Upon resignation or death of any member of the Board, a replacement shall be appointed in the same fashion as the resigning or deceased member was appointed.

4. Submission of Briefs. The claimant and respondent shall each submit initial briefs to the Board outlining the issues in dispute and the basis, authority and reasons for their respective positions within thirty (30) days of the date of notice of appointment of the umpire. The claimant and the respondent may submit reply briefs to the Board within ten (10) days after filing of the initial brief(s). Initial and reply briefs may be amended by the submitting party at any time, but not later than ten (10) days prior to the date of commencement of the arbitration hearing. Reasonable responses shall be allowed at the arbitration hearing to new material contained in any amendments filed to the briefs but not previously responded to.

5. Arbitration Board’s Decision. The Board shall make a decision and award with regard to the terms of this Agreement and the original intentions of the parties to the extent reasonably ascertainable. The Board’s decision and award shall be in writing and shall state the factual and legal basis for the decision and award. The decision and award shall be based upon a hearing in which evidence shall be allowed and which the formal rules of evidence shall not strictly apply but in which cross examination and rebuttal shall be allowed. Every decision by the Board shall be by a majority of the members of the Board and each decision and award by the majority of the members of the Board shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding.

6. Jurisdiction. Either party may apply to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for an order confirming any decision and the award; a judgment of that Court shall thereupon be entered on any decision or award. If such an order is issued, the attorneys’ fees of the party so applying and court costs will be paid by the party against whom confirmation is sought. The Board may award interest calculated from the date the Board determines that any amounts due the prevailing party should have been paid to the prevailing party.

7. Expenses. Each party shall bear the expense of the one arbitrator appointed by it and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of any stenographer requested, and of the umpire. The remaining costs of the arbitration proceedings shall be finally allocated by the Board.

8. Production of Documents and Witnesses. Subject to customary and recognized legal rules of privilege, each party participating in the arbitration shall have the obligation to produce those documents and as witnesses to the arbitration those of its employees as any other participating party reasonably requests providing always that the same witnesses and documents be obtainable and relevant to the issues before the arbitration and not be unduly burdensome or excessive. The parties may mutually agree as to pre-hearing discovery prior to the arbitration hearing and in the absence of agreement, upon the request of any party, pre-hearing discovery may be conducted as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of fairness, full disclosure, and a prompt hearing, decision and award by the Board. The Board shall be the final judge of the procedures of the Board, the conduct of the arbitration, of the rules of evidence, the rules of privilege and production and of excessiveness and relevancy of any witnesses and documents upon the petition of any participating party. To the extent permitted by law, the Board shall have the authority to issue subpoenas and other orders to enforce their decisions.

9. Relief Available. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any participating party from applying to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to issue a restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the parties participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the Board or to prevent any party from incurring irreparable harm or damage at any time prior to the decision and award of the Board. The Board shall also have the authority to issue interim decisions or awards in the interest of fairness, full disclosure, and a prompt and orderly hearing and decision and award by the Board.

10. Consolidation. In the event that there is a dispute between an Insurer and Reinsurer that implicates the provisions of this Agreement and the related Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, such Insurer and Reinsurer shall consolidate any such dispute under such agreements in a single arbitration proceeding.

ARTICLE XIV

DURATION

This Agreement shall continue in force until the earlier of (a) such time that each Insurer’s liability for the Policy Liabilities reinsured hereunder is terminated in accordance with the terms of the Policies; and (b) if the Reinsurer elects, at its sole option, to novate all then outstanding Policies, such time that the novation has been completed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Agreement, Sections 2 and 4 of Article XV shall remain in full force and effect following termination of this Agreement.

2. Tax Election. With respect to this Agreement, each of the Insurers and the Reinsurer hereby make the election provided for in Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as set forth in Exhibit C, which is made a part hereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees to take such further actions as may be necessary to ensure the effectiveness of such election.

3. Confidentiality. The Insurers and the Reinsurer shall hold and cause their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives (each a “Representative”) to hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by a governmental authority or applicable law, (i) any term of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent mutually agreed by the parties; and (ii) any information that is furnished by or on behalf of the other party or its Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information can be shown to have been (w) previously known by the party to which it was furnished, (x) in the public domain through no fault of the party to which it was furnished, (y) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished; provided that such source is not, to such party’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with the other party or its Representatives and is not, to such party’s knowledge, otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, or (z) independently developed by the party to which it was furnished without violating any obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the obligations set forth in the covenant in this Section 3 of Article XV above shall not apply to the Reinsurer in connection with the attempted sale by the Reinsurer (including by means of a reinsurance transaction) of all or any substantial portion of the

Subject Business following the Closing, so long as the Reinsurer ensures that any person receiving any such information enters into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information substantially consistent with this Section 3 of Article XV.

4. Indemnification.

	(a)		Each Insurer shall indemnify and hold Reinsurer and its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, representatives, Affiliates (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), successors and assigns harmless from and against any Loss (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) relating to or arising or resulting from: (i) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by the Insurers under this Agreement; (ii) any Retained Policy Liabilities; and (iii) any Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of each Insurer under this Section 4 of Article XV shall be only for Losses relating to such Insurer’s breaches or liabilities, and neither Insurer shall be liable for any Losses resulting from breaches or liabilities of the other Insurer or the enforcement of this indemnity against the other Insurer.

	(b)		The Reinsurer shall indemnify and hold the Insurers and their respective directors, officers, stockholders, employees, representatives, Affiliates (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), successors and assigns harmless from and against any Loss (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) relating to or arising or resulting from: (i) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by the Reinsurer under this Agreement; and (ii) any Policy Liabilities.

	(c)		In the event the Insurers or the Company shall have a claim for indemnity against the other party under the terms of this Agreement, the parties shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 10.3 of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

5. Equitable Relief. Each party hereto acknowledges that if it or its employees or representatives violate the terms of this Agreement, the other parties will not have an adequate remedy at law. In the event of such a violation, the other parties shall have the right, in addition to any other rights that may be available to them, to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any such violation and to compel specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement. The seeking or obtaining of such injunctive relief shall not foreclose or limit in any way relief against either party hereto for any monetary damage arising out of such violation.

6. Set-Off. Except in the circumstances described in Section 5 of Article VIII, as to which the provisions of such section will apply, any debits or credits between the Insurers and the Reinsurer arising under this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement and, with respect to undisputed amounts and amounts

provided for in a final judgment not subject to appeal, the Stock Purchase Agreement, are deemed mutual debits or credits, as the case may be, and shall be netted or set off, as the case may be, and only the balance shall be allowed or paid hereunder.

7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the other Related Agreements contain the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the matters contemplated hereby, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to such matters. Any change or modification to this Agreement shall be null and void unless made by amendment to this Agreement and signed by all the parties hereto.

8. Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or portion hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions or portions hereof.

9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10. Exclusivity. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

13. Successors and Assignment. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, or subcontract any other party to perform such party’s obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such attempted assignment or subcontracting without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reinsurer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to Policies covering persons and risks resident or situated in Canada to an Affiliate (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), provided that such Affiliate enters into an agreement with the Insurers substantially in the form of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CCC, ACC and the Reinsurer have each executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
