GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Annuities and Risks Reinsured. The Reinsurer agrees to indemnify the Ceding
Company for, and the Ceding Company agrees to reinsure with the Reinsurer,

Annuities and are reinsured under this Agreement, as described in Schedule
A; and the term "Annuities" means the Base Annuities and Riders, together,
including extended coverage through spousal continuation and other
deferrals as permitted under the terms of the annuities and by state and
Federal regulations in existence on the Effective Date of this Agreement.
2. Coverages and Exclusions.
A. Only the Base Annuities and Riders described in Schedule A are
reinsured under this Agreement.
B. Only Annuities sold by the Ceding Company in those jurisdictions where

relation to the Modified Coinsurance Reserve.
4. Expenses. The Reinsurer will bear no part of the expenses incurred in
connection with the Annuities, except as otherwise provided herein.
5. Annuity Changes. The Ceding Company must provide written notification to

within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of the change. If the
Reinsurer accepts any such change, the Reinsurer will (a) assume that
portion of any increase in the Ceding Company's liability, resulting from
the change, which corresponds to the portion of the annuities reinsured
hereunder, and (b) receive credit for that portion of any decrease in the
Ceding Company's liability, resulting from the change, which corresponds to
the portion of the annuities reinsured hereunder. If the Reinsurer rejects

preceding, any changes in the funds available within the Segregated Asset
Portfolio, as described in Schedule C, shall not be subject to this
Paragraph 5.
6. No Extracontractual Damages. The Reinsurer does not indemnify the Ceding
Company for, and will not be liable for, any extracontractual damages or
extracontractual liability resulting from fraud, oppression, bad faith,

obtained through any inspection pursuant to this Paragraph for any purpose
not relating to reinsurance hereunder.

which this Agreement is effective and for all years for which this
Agreement remains in effect.
The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will each attach a schedule to their
respective federal income tax returns filed for the first taxable year for
which this DAC Tax Election is effective. Such schedule will identify the
Agreement as a reinsurance agreement for which the DAC Tax Election under
Regulation Section 1.848-2(g)(8) has been made.
11. Condition. The reinsurance hereunder is subject to the same limitations and
conditions specified in the Annuities and their accompanying prospectuses,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
12. Misunderstandings and Oversights. If any failure to pay amounts due or to
perform any other act required by this Agreement is unintentional and
caused by misunderstanding or oversight, the Ceding Company and the
Reinsurer will adjust the situation to what it would have been had the
misunderstanding or oversight not occurred.

13. Adjustments. If the Ceding Company's liability under any of the Annuities
reinsured hereunder is changed because of a misstatement of age, sex or any

increase in the Ceding Company's liability, resulting from the change,
which corresponds to the portion of the Annuities reinsured hereunder, and
(b) receive credit for that portion of any decrease in the Ceding Company's
liability, resulting from the change, which corresponds to the portion of

Company in connection with the reinstatement of the Annuity, plus any
amounts previously refunded to the Ceding Company by the Reinsurer in
connection with the lapse of the Annuity.

either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer to exercise any right,
privilege, power or remedy at law, equity or in existence by virtue of this
Agreement or to otherwise insist upon strict compliance with any of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, or the obligations of
the other party, will not constitute a waiver of such right, privilege,
power, remedy, term, provision, condition, or obligation. Moreover, the
failure of either party to enforce any part of this Agreement shall not be
deemed to be an act of ratification or consent. No prior transactions or
dealings between the parties shall be deemed to establish any custom or
usage waiving or modifying any provision of this Agreement.
16. Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights, duties or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
other, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
- 5 -
17. Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Ceding
Company's State of Domicile, without giving effect to the choice of law
provisions. Notwithstanding the preceding, this Paragraph shall not be
interpreted to permit the parties to avoid their obligations to arbitrate
their disputes pursuant to Article X of this Agreement.
18. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement of the
parties. Any change or modification to this Agreement shall be null and
void unless made by amendment to this Agreement and signed by both parties.

otherwise compromise its underwriting, claims paying or administrative
practices with respect to the annuities reinsured hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Reinsurer.

Reinsurer under this Agreement will be determined on a net basis at the end
of each Accounting Period and will be due and payable within forty five
(45) days after the end of the Accounting Period.
5. Annual Accounting Reports. The Ceding Company will provide the Reinsurer
with annual accounting reports within thirty (30) days after the end of the
calendar year for which such reports are prepared. These reports will
contain sufficient information about the Annuities to enable the Reinsurer

DURATION AND RECAPTURE
1. Duration. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is unlimited
in duration.
2. Reinsurer's Liability. The liability of the Reinsurer with respect to any
Annuity will begin simultaneously with that of the Ceding Company, but not
prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Reinsurer's liability
with respect to any Annuity will terminate on the earliest of: (i) the date
such Annuity is recaptured; (ii) the date the Ceding Company's liability on
such Annuity is terminated; or (iii) the date this Agreement is terminated.
Termination of the Reinsurer's liability is subject to payments in respect
of such liability in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of this
Agreement. In no event should the interpretation of this Paragraph imply a
unilateral right of the Reinsurer to terminate this Agreement.
However, the Reinsurer and/or the Ceding Company may, upon ninety (90) days
prior written notice to the other party, terminate this Agreement as to
annuities not yet written by the Ceding Company as of the effective date of
such termination.
3. Termination for Nonpayment of Reinsurance Premiums or Other Amounts Due. If
the Ceding Company fails to pay the Reinsurance Premiums or any other
amounts due to the Reinsurer pursuant to this Agreement, within seventy
five (75) days after the end of any Accounting Period, the Reinsurer may
terminate this Agreement, subject to thirty (30) days prior written notice
to the Ceding Company.
4. Recapture. The Annuities may be recaptured at any time upon mutual
agreement in writing between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer. If the
Ceding Company opts to recapture, then the Ceding Company must recapture
all of the Annuities. In no event may the Ceding Company recapture anything
other than 100 percent of all Annuities.
5. Recapture Charge. In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance
with Paragraphs 3 and 4 above, or Paragraph 6 below, a Termination Value
shall be calculated in good faith by the Reinsurer as of
- 19 -
the effective date of termination according to "best practices" that are
appropriate to valuing variable annuities and related cash flows and
consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Ceding Company shall have
sixty (60) calendar days to either accept the Termination Value as
calculated or raise objections. The parties shall cooperate with each other
in order to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Termination Value.
If the parties cannot mutually agree on the Termination Value, then the
calculation will be submitted to a nationally recognized, independent
actuarial firm or the actuarial group of a nationally recognized,
independent accounting firm (hereinafter the "Actuarial Firm"), that is
mutually acceptable to the parties for determination of a Termination Value
which is reasonably consistent with the terms of this Agreement. If the
parties cannot reach agreement as to the Actuarial Firm, then such
appointment will be decided by the President of the Society of Actuaries.
The decision of the Actuarial Firm with respect to the Termination Value
will be final and binding upon the parties. The parties will share equally
in the costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Actuarial Firm and the
Society of Actuaries.
It is recognized and acknowledged by both parties that "best practices" for
valuing cash flows linked to variable annuities include:
i) commencing with seriatim in force data as of the effective date of
termination;
ii) fixing actuarial assumptions such as lapse, mortality, mortality
improvement, utilization, etc. within a range deemed consistent with
market standards;
iii)determining market inputs for interest rates, implied volatilities,
and other market inputs; and
iv) valuing the present value of all the future cash flows using the
inputs and assumptions determined above.
The discount rate used in the present value of future cash flows described
above will not reflect any credit deterioration by the Ceding Company since
the Effective Date of this Agreement.
If the projected Termination Value is positive, the absolute value shall be
paid as a Recapture Charge to the Reinsurer by the Ceding Company. Payment
of such amount will be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
calculation. The terminal accounting date will be the effective date of
termination pursuant to this Agreement.
- 20 -
6. Internal Replacements. Should the Ceding Company, its affiliates,
successors or assigns, initiate a program of Internal Replacement that
would include any of the Annuities, the Ceding Company will immediately
notify the Reinsurer. Such program would not include any replacements
initiated by any distributors independent of the Ceding Company. The
Reinsurer may elect to treat such Annuities as recaptured rather than
surrendered, and such recapture will apply to all Annuities. For purposes
of this Agreement, the term "Internal Replacement" means any instance in
which an Annuity or any portion of the cash value of an Annuity is
exchanged for another policy or annuity, not covered under this Agreement,
which is written by the Ceding Company, its affiliates, successors or
assigns.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINAL ACCOUNTING AND SETTLEMENT
1. Terminal Accounting. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in
accordance with Article VII, Paragraph 3, or all reinsurance under this
Agreement is recaptured in accordance with Article VII, Paragraphs 4 and 6,
a Terminal Accounting and Settlement will take place.
2. Date. The terminal accounting date will be the earliest of: (1) the
effective date of recapture pursuant to any notice of recapture given under
this Agreement, (2) the effective date of termination pursuant to any
notice of termination given under this Agreement, or (3) such other date
mutually agreed to in writing.
3. Settlement. The Terminal Accounting and Settlement will consist of:
(a) the quarterly settlement as provided in Article VI, Paragraph 3,
computed as of the terminal accounting date;
(b) payment by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer of a Terminal Reserve
equal to the Modified Coinsurance Reserve, as defined in Article V,
Paragraph 2, on the Annuities as of the terminal accounting date;
(c) payment by the Reinsurer to the Ceding Company of a Terminal Reserve
Adjustment equal to the Modified Coinsurance Reserve, as defined in
Article V, Paragraph 2, on the Annuities as of the terminal accounting
date; and
(d) payment by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer of any Recapture Charge
determined in accordance with Article VII, Paragraph 5, computed as of
the terminal accounting date.
If the calculation of the Terminal Accounting and Settlement produces an
amount owing to the Ceding Company, such amount will be paid by the
Reinsurer to the Ceding Company. If the calculation of the Terminal
Accounting and Settlement produces an amount owing to the Reinsurer, such
amount will be paid by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer.

4. Supplementary Accounting and Settlement. In the event that, subsequent to
the Terminal Accounting and Settlement as provided above, a change is made

ARTICLE X
ARBITRATION
1. General. Except with respect to the method of resolving a dispute over the
calculation of a Termination Value, as set forth in Article VII, Paragraph
5, all disputes and differences between the Ceding Company and the
Reinsurer on which an agreement cannot be reached will be decided by
arbitration. The arbitrators will construe this Agreement from the
standpoint of practical business and equitable principles and the customs
and practices of the insurance and reinsurance business, rather than from
the standpoint of strict law. Moreover, the arbitrators shall be released
from judicial formalities and shall not be bound by strict rules of
procedure and evidence. The parties intend that the arbitrators will make
their decision with a view to effecting the intent of this Agreement.
2. Method. Three arbitrators will decide any differences. They must be
impartial and present or former officers of life insurance companies other
than the parties to this Agreement or any company owned by, or affiliated
with, either party. One of the arbitrators is to be appointed by the
Reinsurer, another by the Ceding Company, and the two arbitrators thus
appointed will select a third arbitrator before arbitration begins. Should
one of the parties decline to select an arbitrator within ninety (90) days
after the date of any written request to do so or should the two
arbitrators selected by the parties not be able to agree upon the choice of
a third, the appointment(s) will be left to the XXXX Reinsurance and
Insurance Arbitration Society - US ("XXXXX - US") umpire selection process.
The arbitrators will decide by a majority of votes and their decision will
be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrators will hand down their
decision within forty-five (45) days of the close of the arbitration
proceedings. The costs of arbitration, including the fees of the
arbitrators, will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitrators
decide otherwise. Any counsel fees incurred by a party in the conduct of
arbitration will be paid by the party incurring the fees.
- 25 -
ARTICLE XI
INSOLVENCY
Ceding Company's Insolvency. In the event of the Ceding Company's insolvency,
any payments due the Ceding Company from the Reinsurer pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement will be made directly to the Ceding Company or its conservator,
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. The reinsurance will be payable by
the Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company under the
Annuities without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding Company.
The conservator, liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding
Company will give the Reinsurer written notice of the pendency of a claim
against the Ceding Company on any Annuity within a reasonable time after such
claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of any such
claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose in the Ceding
Company's name (or in the name of the Ceding Company's conservator, liquidator,
receiver or statutory successor), in the proceeding where such claim is to be
adjudicated, any defense or defenses which the Reinsurer may deem available to
the Ceding Company or its conservator, liquidator, receiver or statutory
successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable,
subject to court approval, against the Ceding Company as a part of the expense
of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit that may
accrue to the Ceding Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by
the Reinsurer.
Reinsurer's Insolvency. In the event of the Reinsurer's insolvency, the Ceding
Company may recapture the Annuities reinsured hereunder, subject to prior
written notice. Such recapture will be subject to the payment of a Terminal
Accounting and Settlement, as described in Article VIII, Paragraph 3.
Insolvency, for purposes of this Paragraph, is defined to be: (a) the filing of
voluntary or involuntary petition for liquidation by or on behalf of the
Reinsurer, (b) any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (c) the
appointment of a conservator, liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor to
conserve or administer the Reinsurer's properties or assets.

MODIFIED COINSURANCE RESERVE INVESTMENT CREDIT
Modified Coinsurance Reserve Investment Credit. The Modified Coinsurance
Reserve Investment Credit, for any Accounting Period, equals the accrued
investment income and capital gains and losses, realized and unrealized,
allocated to the portion of the annuities reinsured hereunder during the
current Accounting Period with respect to the Segregated Asset Portfolio held
by the Ceding Company, calculated by the Ceding Company on a statutory basis,
gross of any Investment Advisory Fees paid by the Ceding Company during the
current Accounting Period, but not adjusted for income taxes, changes in any
provisions for taxes or charges for mortality and expense risks. Namely, the
Segregated Asset Portfolio held by the Ceding Company shall include those funds
and any portfolios in which the assets related to the annuities reinsured
hereunder may be invested. The Ceding Company will notify the Reinsurer
promptly in writing of any changes in such funds and portfolios.
Notwithstanding the preceding, for purposes of administrative simplicity, a
mathematical equivalent to such accrued investment income and capital gains and
losses, realized and unrealized, will be used to determine the Modified
Coinsurance Reserve Investment Credit equal to the product of (i) times (ii),
where:
(i) equals the quota share percentage of the annuities reinsured hereunder
as described in Schedule A; and
(ii)equals the net of the following:
(a) the Account Value, as defined in Article V, Paragraph 3, as of the
end of the current Accounting Period, minus
(b) the Account Value, as defined in Article V, Paragraph 3, as of the
beginning of the current Accounting Period, plus
(c) the product of (1) times [(2) minus (3) plus (4)], where:
(1) equals the Ceding Company's Internal Borrowing Rate, as
defined below, as of the end of the current Accounting Period;
- 32 -
(2) equals 0.50 times [(A) plus (B)], where:
(A) equals the sum of items (ii) plus (iii), as defined in
Article V, Paragraph 2, as of the beginning of the current
Accounting Period; and
(B) equals the sum of items (ii) plus (iii), as defined in
Article V, Paragraph 2, as of the end of the current
Accounting Period;
(3) equals the Average Account Value, as defined in Article V,
Paragraph 4, for the current Accounting Period; and
(4) equals the Average Account Value, as defined in Article V,
Paragraph 4, for the current Accounting Period, with respect
to the general account, minus
(d) the interest credited to the policyholders on funds in the general
account, including any policy loans, during the current Accounting
Period with respect to the Annuities reinsured hereunder, plus
(e) the Account Value, as defined in Article V, Paragraph 3, released
with respect to the Annuities reinsured hereunder for which Claims
are paid during the current Accounting Period in accordance with
Article IV, Paragraph 2, plus
(f) the Account Value, as defined in Article V, Paragraph 3, released
with respect to the Annuities reinsured hereunder for which Cash
Surrender Values are paid during the current Accounting Period in
accordance with Article IV, Paragraph 3, plus
(g) the Account Value, as defined in Article V, Paragraph 3, released
with respect to the Annuities reinsured hereunder for which
Partial Withdrawals are paid during the current Accounting Period
in accordance with Article IV, Paragraph 4, plus
(h) the Account Value, as defined in Article V, Paragraph 3, released
with respect to the Annuities reinsured hereunder for which
Annuity Payments are paid during the current Accounting Period in
accordance with Article IV, Paragraph 8, plus
(i) policy fee collected by the Ceding Company during the current
Accounting Period, minus
(j) the gross premiums collected by the Ceding Company during the
current Accounting Period with respect to the Annuities reinsured
hereunder, minus
- 33 -
(k) the credit enhancement credited to the policyholder in accordance
with the terms of the Annuities reinsured hereunder during the
current Accounting Period with respect to the Annuities reinsured
hereunder, plus
(l) the mortality and expense charges calculated by the Ceding Company
during the current Accounting Period with respect to the Annuities
reinsured hereunder, plus
(m) the GMDB rider and living benefit rider charges calculated by the
Ceding Company during the current Accounting Period with respect
to the Riders reinsured hereunder.
The Internal Borrowing Rate at the end of each Accounting Period will be equal
to the quotient of [(I) plus (II)] divided by (III), where:
(I) equals 15 basis points;
(II)equals the sum of the one month London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR)
as published by The Wall Street Journal at the end of each business
day ending during the current Accounting Period, divided by the number
of business days ending during the current Accounting Period; and
(III)equals four.

III. ARTICLE VII, DURATION AND RECAPTURE, Paragraph 2, is replaced in its

2. Reinsurer's Liability. The liability of the Reinsurer with respect to

(i) the date such Annuity is recaptured; (ii) the date the Ceding
Company's liability on such Annuity is terminated; or (iii) the date
this Agreement is terminated. Termination of the Reinsurer's liability
is subject to payments in respect of such liability in accordance with
the provisions of Article VIII of this Agreement. In no event should the
interpretation of this Paragraph imply a unilateral right of the
Reinsurer to terminate this Agreement.
However, the Reinsurer and/or the Ceding Company may, upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the other party, terminate this
Agreement as to annuities not yet written by the Ceding Company as of
the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding the preceding,
this Agreement will automatically terminate with respect to annuities
not yet written by the Ceding Company, unless the Reinsurer elects to
waive such automatic termination in writing, if any of the following
conditions occur:
(a)immediately, upon the cumulative receipt of $200 million of
Reinsurance Premiums, determined in accordance with Article II, by
the Reinsurer, measured since January 1, 2009;
(b)on the seventh (7/th/) day after the Reinsurer notifies the Ceding
Company, in writing, that the thirty (30) year close of business swap
rate, reported to the Reinsurer by Milliman in the Daily Trade
Blotter, is less than 2.90 percent; or
(c)on the seventh (7/th/) day after the Reinsurer notifies the Ceding
Company, in writing, that the five (5) year Standard and Poor's 500
index close of business implied volatility rate, reported to the
Reinsurer by Milliman in the Daily Trade Blotter, exceeds 40.00
percent.
- 3 -
In the event that Milliman no longer provides either the swap curve
rate or the implied volatility rate, the Reinsurer will utilize a
reasonable alternative source, subject to the approval of the Ceding
Company. Such approval of the Ceding Company will not be unreasonably
withheld.
IV. SCHEDULE A, ANNUITIES AND RISKS REINSURED, is replaced in its entirety by
