In such event, the Company and AUL will work together in good faith with a view towards determining the extent to which the premium earned by the Company can be increased by adding contracts which are within the Underwriting Guidelines and Business Framework, and are profitable on a modeled expected basis, or the taking of other actions, such as returning capital to shareholders of the Company, without risking the Company's then-current Rating Agency ratings.
