this Agreement.
D. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term as follows:
1. At the option of the REINSURER, upon the announcement or the entering
into of any binding contract for, or upon the occurrence of, any
merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction or series of
transactions involving the CEDING COMPANY such that the CEDING COMPANY
is no longer a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Prudential plc (any of the foregoing, a "Disposition Transaction").
The REINSURER shall provide to the CEDING COMPANY written notice of

effective date of termination that shall be the earlier to occur of

than ninety (90) days, or less if mutually agreed upon by the parties,
following the delivery of such notice; or (ii) the consummation of any

2. At the option of the CEDING COMPANY, if an encumbrancer takes
possession of or a receiver is appointed over any of the property or
assets of the REINSURER, or the REINSURER makes any voluntary
arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration
order, or the REINSURER goes into liquidation or anything analogous to
any of the foregoing under the law of any jurisdiction occurs in
relation to the REINSURER. The CEDING COMPANY shall provide to the

supervision or conservation of the CEDING COMPANY or anything
analogous to any of the foregoing under the law of any jurisdiction

E. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the REINSURER shall continue to be liable to the CEDING
COMPANY in respect of all LOSS EVENTS occurring on or before the TERMINATION DATE and the CEDING COMPANY

F. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, the REINSURER or the CEDING COMPANY, as the case may be,

described below.
1. The experience account balance will be equal to the initial reinsurance premium (pursuant to
paragraph A of Article V) as of the EFFECTIVE DATE, and thereafter be recalculated monthly. Each
month on the MONTHLY VALUATION DATE, the prior month's account balance will be increased by the
monthly reinsurance premium paid during that month from the CEDING COMPANY to the REINSURER under
this Agreement pursuant to paragraph B of Article V, decreased by the monthly reinsurance risk
charge as set forth in Schedule B hereto, decreased by monthly claims reimbursements paid during
that month by the REINSURER to the CEDING COMPANY pursuant to Paragraph B of Article VI, and
increased by interest on the prior month's balance at a rate of interest as set forth in Schedule B
hereto.
2. If the experience account balance is a positive amount, the REINSURER shall pay such amount to the
CEDING COMPANY. If the experience account balance is a negative amount, and the CEDING COMPANY has
voluntarily agreed to the termination of this Agreement, the CEDING COMPANY shall pay such amount
to the REINSURER.
ARTICLE IV - REINSURANCE COVERAGE
A. This Agreement pertains to each of the individual variable annuity contracts issued by the CEDING COMPANY
that:
(i) are identified by form in Schedule A;
(ii) are in effect on the EFFECTIVE DATE and have not been annuitized; and
(iii) has not been terminated due to death, lapse, surrender or some other valid contingency and has not
been annuitized;
said contracts being herein defined collectively as the ANNUITY CONTRACTS.
B. The CEDING COMPANY hereby cedes to the REINSURER a one hundred percent (100%) quota share percentage of the
CEDING COMPANY's GMDB RISK, subject to the annual claims payment limit specified in Paragraph C of this
Article IV.
C. This Agreement reinsures only the CEDING COMPANY's GMDB RISK (up to a maximum of [REDACTED] of claims
payments in any one-year term of this Agreement). The REINSURER shall not participate in any cash values,
loans, dividends or other features specific to permanent policies. Reinsurance shall follow the terms and
conditions of each ANNUITY CONTRACT unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.
D. Reinsurance of each ANNUITY CONTRACT shall commence on the EFFECTIVE DATE and shall terminate on the earlier
to occur of: (i) the TERMINATION DATE; or (ii) the date such ANNUITY CONTRACT ceases to be an ACTIVE
CONTRACT.
ARTICLE V - PREMIUMS AND ACCOUNTING
A. The CEDING COMPANY shall pay to the REINSURER an initial reinsurance premium of [REDACTED] as of the
EFFECTIVE DATE.
B. During the term of this Agreement, a monthly reinsurance premium, determined as set forth in Schedule C
hereto, will become due and payable from the CEDING COMPANY to the REINSURER on the MONTHLY VALUATION DATE.
On or before each REMITTANCE DATE, the CEDING COMPANY shall remit the appropriate monthly reinsurance
premium to the REINSURER, net of any claims reimbursements due from the REINSURER to the CEDING COMPANY.
C. On the EFFECTIVE DATE and on or before each REMITTANCE DATE thereafter, the CEDING COMPANY shall forward to
the REINSURER its statement of account, data requirements, and experience account detail as set forth in
Schedule D, together with its remittance for the monthly reinsurance premium as shown therein. In addition,
the CEDING COMPANY shall provide such other services and support as the REINSURER may reasonably require or
request.
D. The initial reinsurance premium and each monthly reinsurance premium shall be made without deduction for any
taxes, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or restrictions whatsoever. If the CEDING COMPANY is
required by law to make any such deduction or withholding from any such payment, the amount due from the
CEDING COMPANY in respect to such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that after
the making of such deduction or withholding the REINSURER receives a net amount equal to the amount that it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.
ARTICLE VI - REINSURANCE CLAIM SETTLEMENT
A. The CEDING COMPANY is solely responsible for payment of claims under the ANNUITY CONTRACTS. The CEDING
COMPANY shall provide the REINSURER with proof of claim, proof of claim payment and any other claim
documentation requested by the REINSURER in accordance with Schedule D.

account and data requirements as set forth in Schedule D, together with its request for reimbursement of the
GMBD on each ACTIVE CONTRACT as to which there was a LOSS EVENT during the period covered by the CEDING
COMPANY's statement of account and data requirements.
C. On or before each REMITTANCE DATE (or, if later, three BUSINESS DAYS after the REINSURER's receipt of the
CEDING COMPANY's statement of account and data requirements pursuant to Paragraph B of this Article VI), the
REINSURER shall reimburse the CEDING COMPANY for each claim identified in the CEDING COMPANY's statement of
account and data requirements (to the extent not netted out in connection with the CEDING COMPANY's payment
of monthly reinsurance premiums pursuant to Article V, Paragraph B).
D. On or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the TERMINATION DATE, the CEDING COMPANY shall forward to the
REINSURER its final statement of account as set forth in Schedule D, together with a request for payment or
notice of payment to be made as a termination payment determined by the balance of the experience account.

account, the appropriate party shall pay to the other the amounts identified as being owed in the CEDING
COMPANY's final statement of account.
E. The CEDING COMPANY shall have six (6) months after the TERMINATION DATE to submit to REINSURER an amended
final statement of account. Any amounts owed by either the CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER, based on the
amended final statement of account, must be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of the amended final
statement.
ARTICLE VII - RESERVES
A. It is the intention of both the REINSURER and the CEDING COMPANY that the CEDING COMPANY qualifies for
reinsurance credit in the state of Michigan for reinsurance ceded hereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the REINSURER shall, in conformity with all applicable
laws and regulations governing the REINSURER, take any and all commercially reasonable steps within its
control so that the CEDING COMPANY may take full credit in its SAP financial statements for the business
ceded under this Agreement.
B. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Paragraph A, it is agreed that when the CEDING COMPANY
establishes SAP RESERVES for the GMBD RISK reinsured hereunder, as required by Michigan law, the CEDING

obligations under this Agreement with a letter of credit or, alternatively, any other form of security
permitted pursuant to Michigan Insurance Code section 500.1105.
ARTICLE VIII - LITIGATION
In the event any legal action is brought against the CEDING COMPANY relating to payment of the death benefit due
under an ANNUITY CONTRACT, the CEDING COMPANY shall provide to the REINSURER written notice thereof, including a
copy of the complaint, within ten (10) BUSINESS DAYS after the CEDING COMPANY is served with the Complaint.
ARTICLE IX - ACCESS TO RECORDS
A. The CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER, or their duly authorized representatives, shall have access at any
reasonable time during regular business hours, to all records of the other, including the right to photocopy
and retain copies of documents that reasonably pertain in any way to this Agreement. Books and records
shall be maintained in accordance with prudent standards of insurance company record keeping and must be
retained for a period of at least ten (10) years after the final settlement date. Within one hundred and
fifty (150) days following the end of each calendar year, the CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER shall provide
each other with copies of their respective audited financial statements.
B. The CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER may come into possession or knowledge of Confidential Information of
the other in fulfilling obligations under this Agreement. Each party agrees to hold such Confidential
Information in the strictest confidence and to take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential
Information is not disclosed in any form by any means by each of them or by any of their employees to third
parties of any kind, other than attorneys, accountants, reinsurance intermediaries, consultants or
retrocessionaires having an interest in such information, except by advance written authorization by an
officer of the authorizing party; provided, however, that either party will be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as to the Confidential Information by protecting its confidentiality in the same manner that the
party protects its own proprietary or confidential information of like kind, which shall be at least a
reasonable manner. "Confidential Information" means any information which (1) is not generally available to
or known by the public, or (2) has not been lawfully obtained or developed by either party independently and
not in violation of this Agreement or from any source other than the other party, provided that such source
is not bound by a duty of confidentiality to such other party, and which consists of:
1. information or knowledge about each party's products, processes, services, finances, customers,
research, computer programs, marketing and business plans and claims management practices; and
2. any medical or other personal, individually identifiable information about people or business
entities with whom the parties do business, including customers, prospective customers, vendors,
suppliers, individuals covered by insurance plans, and each party's producers and employees; and
3. records provided pursuant to Paragraph A, above.
C. If either the CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER discloses confidential information to interested parties such
as, but not limited to, attorneys, accountants, reinsurance intermediaries, consultants or retrocessionaires
having an interest in such information, such interested parties shall also be bound by this Article's
provisions on disclosing confidential information. The CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER must inform the
interested party of the provisions of this Article and agree to ensure that the interested parties honor the
provisions.
D. This Article expires 3 years after the TERMINATION DATE.
E. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, the parties hereto shall exercise and perform
their rights and obligations under this Agreement in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations
pertaining to the use of policyholder information.
ARTICLE X - UNINTENTIONAL ERRORS, MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR OMISSIONS
If failure to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement is shown to be the result of an unintentional error,
misunderstanding or omission on the part of either the CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER, the party adversely
affected thereby will be restored to the position it would have occupied had no such error, misunderstanding or
omission occurred, subject always to the correction of the error, misunderstanding or omission.
ARTICLE XI - CURRENCY
All retentions and limits hereunder are expressed in United States dollars and all premium and loss payments
hereunder shall be made in United States currency.
ARTICLE XII - INSOLVENCY
A. In the event of insolvency of the CEDING COMPANY, all reinsurance payments due under this Agreement from the
REINSURER to the CEDING COMPANY shall be payable directly by the REINSURER to the CEDING COMPANY or to its
liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor on the basis of the REINSURER's liability to the
CEDING COMPANY without diminution because of the insolvency of the CEDING COMPANY or because the liquidator,
receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the CEDING COMPANY has failed to pay all or a portion of any
claim.
B. In the event of insolvency of the CEDING COMPANY, the liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor will
immediately give written notice to the REINSURER of all pending claims against the CEDING COMPANY on any
contracts reinsured. While a claim is pending, the REINSURER may investigate and interpose, at its own
expense, in the proceedings where the claim is adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem
available to the CEDING COMPANY or its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor. The expense incurred
by the REINSURER will be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the CEDING COMPANY as 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. Where two or more reinsurers are
participating in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose a defense or defenses to any
such claim, the expense will be apportioned in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreement as
though such expense had been incurred by the CEDING COMPANY.
ARTICLE XIII - ARBITRATION
A. As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute between the parties with respect to
the interpretation of this Agreement or any right, obligation or liability of either party, whether such
dispute arises before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration upon the
written request of either party. Each party shall select an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the
written request for arbitration. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within thirty
(30) days after the written request for arbitration, the other party may appoint the second arbitrator. The
two arbitrators shall select an umpire within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second
arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on the selection of the umpire within thirty (30) days
after the appointment of the second arbitrator, either party may submit a request to the American
Arbitration Association to select an umpire, subject to the requirements for such arbitrator set forth below.
B. The arbitrators and the umpire all shall be active or retired, disinterested executive officers of insurance
or reinsurance companies. The umpire shall preside at all hearings and meetings of the panel and shall
announce the decision of the panel. The majority vote of the arbitrators and the umpire shall be the
decision of the panel. The decision shall be in writing signed by the majority in favor thereof.
C. The arbitration panel shall interpret this Agreement as an agreement entered into in the highest good faith
in keeping with the commercially recognized customs and practices of the insurance business and shall make
its decision considering said customs and practices. The arbitration panel is released from judicial
formalities and shall not be bound by strict rules of procedure and evidence.
D. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on both parties. The arbitration panel
may, at its discretion, award costs and expenses as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees, interest and compensatory damages. Judgment may be entered upon the final decision of the
arbitration panel in any court of competent jurisdiction.
E. In the absence of a decision to the contrary by the arbitration panel, each party shall bear the expense of
the arbitrator chosen by or for it and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of
the umpire and of the arbitration.
ARTICLE XIV - OFFSET
A. Either party shall have, and may exercise at any time and from time to time, the right to offset any balance

the provision of Article XII, offset shall only be allowed in accordance with the statutes and/or
