PREAMBLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS REINSURANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of July
1, 2010 ("Effective Date"), by and between Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
a life insurance corporation domiciled in New York, (the "Ceding Company") and
Exeter Reassurance Company, LTD. (the "Reinsurer").

THE BACKGROUND OF THIS AGREEMENT is that the Ceding Company wishes to cede
ninety percent (90%) quota share of the liabilities associated with Policies
written under certain variable annuity contracts as described in Schedule A on a
coinsurance with funds withheld basis and the Reinsurer, having reviewed
materials provided by the Ceding Company relating to such block, wishes to
accept the proposed cession on that basis.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings set
forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. REINSURANCE DEFINITION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Policies and Risks Reinsured. In accordance with the terms and conditions
----------------------------
hereof, the Ceding Company hereby cedes and the Reinsurer hereby accepts as
indemnity reinsurance on a coinsurance with funds withheld basis, the quota
share of the Ceding Company's liabilities under the policies (the
"Policies") listed in Schedule A.

2. Conditions. This reinsurance is subject to the same limitations and
----------
conditions specified in the Policies, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.

3. Policy Changes. The Ceding Company must provide written notification to the
--------------
Reinsurer of any program to change the original terms or conditions of the
Policies which would result in an increase in liabilities of more than two
percent (2%) of all Policies not later than fifteen (15) days after the
change takes effect. The Reinsurer shall provide written notification to
the Ceding Company of the Reinsurer's acceptance or rejection of the change
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of the change. If the
Reinsurer accepts any such change then it shall (a) assume that portion of
any increase in the Ceding Company's liability, resulting from the change,
that corresponds to the reinsured portion of the Policies, and (b) receive
credit for that portion of any decrease in the Ceding Company's liability,
resulting from the change, that corresponds to the reinsured portion of the
Policies. If the Reinsurer rejects any such change then its liabilities
shall be determined as though no such change had occurred.

4. Reinstatements. If a Policy is reinstated while this Agreement is in force,
--------------
the reinsurance for such Policy shall be reinstated automatically and the
Ceding Company shall pay the Reinsurer its quota share of all amounts
received in connection with the reinstatement of the Policy.

5. No Extracontractual Damages. The Reinsurer assumes no liability under this
---------------------------
Agreement for any damages, fines, penalties, costs or expenses, or portion
thereof, levied on or assessed against the Ceding Company by any court or
regulatory body on the basis of negligence, oppression, malice, fraud,
fault, wrongdoing or bad faith by the Ceding Company in connection with any
claim or for any other act or omission, unless the Reinsurer shall have
received prior notice of and shall have concurred prior to the actions
taken or not taken by the Ceding Company that led to the levies or
assessments, in which case, the Reinsurer shall pay its share of such levy
or assessment.

ARTICLE II. REINSURANCE PREMIUMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Initial Reinsurance Premium. As of the Effective Date, the Ceding Company
---------------------------
shall pay to the Reinsurer an Initial Reinsurance Premium in an amount
equal to the Reinsurer's quota share of the Account Value for all policies
issued prior to and inforce as of the Effective Date.

2. Reinsurance Premium. Each Accounting Period, the Ceding Company shall pay
-------------------
to the Reinsurer a "Reinsurance Premium" in an amount equal to the
Reinsurer's quota share of the gross Policy premiums and deposits collected
during the Accounting Period by the Ceding Company. The Reinsurance
Premiums paid to the Reinsurer by the Ceding Company shall be remitted to
the Reinsurer at the end of the Accounting Period during which the gross
premiums were collected by the Ceding Company.

ARTICLE III. ALLOWANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Initial Allowance. Simultaneously with the payment of the Initial
-----------------
Reinsurance Premium, as described in Article II Paragraph 1 by the Ceding
Company, the Reinsurer shall pay the Ceding Company an Initial Allowance
equal to (a) minus (b), where:

(a) is the Initial Reinsurance Premium, as described in Article II
Paragraph 1; and

(b) is the Initial Funds Withheld Adjustment, as described in Article IV
Paragraph 4.

2. Allowance. The Reinsurer shall pay the Ceding Company "Allowances" for each

---------------

(b) Commission Allowance as described in Schedule E;
-------------------

3. Expenses. The allowance for any expenses incurred in connection with the
--------
Policies is included in the Allowance described in Paragraph 2. This
Allowance is sufficient to cover anticipated allocable renewal expenses
incurred by the Ceding Company on the Policies reinsured. The Reinsurer
shall not indemnify the Ceding Company for any other expenses incurred in
connection with the Policies.

ARTICLE IV. FUNDS WITHHELD ADJUSTMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Funds Withheld Adjustment. The "Funds Withheld Adjustment" shall be
-------------------------
computed each Accounting Period equal to (a) minus (b) minus (c), in which:

(a) equals the Funds Withheld Amount, as defined in Schedule B Paragraph
3, at the end of the current Accounting Period on the Policies;

(b) equals the Funds Withheld Amount, as defined in Schedule B Paragraph
3, at the end of prior Accounting Period, on the Policies; and

2. For any Accounting Period in which the amount computed in Paragraph 1 above
is positive, the Reinsurer shall pay the Ceding Company such amount. For
any Accounting Period in which the amount computed in Paragraph 1 above is
negative, the Ceding Company shall pay the Reinsurer the absolute value of
such amount.

3. In calculating a Terminal Accounting Settlement payment, the reference in
paragraph 1(a) above to "the end of the current Accounting Period" refers
to the Terminal Accounting Date as described in Article VIII, Paragraph 2

4. Initial Funds Withheld Adjustment. Simultaneously with the payment of the
---------------------------------
Initial Reinsurance Premium, as described in Article II Paragraph 1 by the
Ceding Company, the Reinsurer will pay the Ceding Company an amount equal

Paragraph 3 determined on the Effective Date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V. INDEMNIFICATION FOR BENEFIT PAYMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Ceding Company in accordance with Policy terms.

-----------
determined by the dates described in Paragraph 4 above, on an exact basis,
such amounts shall be estimated in accordance with reasonable actuarial
methods that shall approximate the actual amounts. Adjustments to payments
based upon such estimates shall then be made to reflect actual amounts when
such amounts become available.

6. Delayed Payments. For purposes of Paragraph 4 above, if there is a delayed
----------------
settlement of a payment due, interest shall be payable for the number of
days from the due date through the date paid, at an annualized rate equal
to the sum of (i) the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as
published by The Wall Street Journal at the end of the Accounting Period
plus (ii) 250 basis points. Any interest due will be capitalized and the
interest rate above will be recalculated at the end of each Accounting
Period.

7. Offset of Payments. All monies due either the Ceding Company or the
------------------
Reinsurer under this Agreement shall be offset against each other, dollar
for dollar, regardless of any insolvency of either party.

8. DAC Tax.
-------

A. The Parties are making a joint election under Treas. Reg.
(S)1.848-2(g)(8) under which:

1. The Party with the net positive consideration under this
Agreement is required to capitalize specified policy acquisition
expenses with respect to such Agreement without regard to the
general deductions limitation of Section 848(c)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code.

2. This election shall be effective with the effective date of this
Agreement.

3. Each party shall attach a schedule to its federal income tax
return for its first taxable year ending after the election

B. The Parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of
net consideration as determined under Treas. Reg. (S)1.848-2(f) for
this Agreement to ensure consistency as to amount and timing or as is
otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service.

C. The exchange of information described in section B above shall follow
the procedures set forth below:

1. the Ceding Company shall submit its calculation of the "net
consideration" as defined under the above referenced regulation
to the Reinsurer not later than April 1 for each and every tax

an agreement as to the correct amount within thirty (30) days of
the date the Reinsurer submits its alternative calculation. If

amount of net consideration, each party shall report the agreed
upon amount in their respective tax returns for the preceding

ARTICLE VII. DURATION, RECAPTURE AND TERMINATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Duration. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is unlimited
--------
in duration.

2. Automatic Acceptance of Reinsurance. The Reinsurer shall cover every Policy
-----------------------------------
issued by the Ceding Company on or after the Effective Date under plans of
insurance described in Schedule A. The Reinsurer can, at its sole option,
discontinue reinsurance of newly issued Policies subject to ninety (90)
days prior written notice to the Ceding Company. The Ceding Company can, at
its sole option, discontinue reinsurance of newly issued Policies subject
to thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Reinsurer.

3. Reinsurer's Liability. The liability of the Reinsurer with respect to any
---------------------
Policy reinsured hereunder shall begin simultaneously with that of the
Ceding Company, but not earlier than the Effective Date of this Agreement.
The Reinsurer's liability with respect to any Policy reinsured hereunder
shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the date such Policy is recaptured;
(ii) the date the Ceding Company's liability on such Policy is terminated;
or (iii) the date this Agreement is terminated. In no event shall this
Paragraph be construed as providing a unilateral right of the Reinsurer to
terminate this Agreement.

4. Recapture. Reinsurance ceded to the Reinsurer hereunder may be recaptured
---------
at the Ceding Company's option at any time following the first anniversary
of the Reinsurance Agreement. The Ceding Company shall provide thirty (30)
days advance notice prior to the effective date of recapture. Such
recapture shall be subject to the payment of a Terminal Accounting and
Settlement as described in Article VIII.

5. Internal Replacements. Should the Ceding Company, its affiliates,
---------------------
successors or assigns, initiate a "Program of Internal Replacement" that
includes any of the Policies reinsured hereunder, the Ceding Company shall
immediately notify the Reinsurer. All solicited replacement policies shall
be treated as recaptured rather than surrendered. The Reinsurer may elect
at its sole option to treat either all policies reinsured hereunder as
recaptured or all policies of the issue year(s) in which policies were
internally replaced as recaptured. Such recapture shall be subject to the
payment of a Terminal Accounting and Settlement by the Ceding Company to
the Reinsurer as described in Article VIII. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "Program of Internal Replacement" means any effort by the Ceding
Company, its affiliates, successors or assigns generally to solicit
replacements of Policies by which a Policy or any portion of the cash value
of a Policy is exchanged for another policy or contract that is not
reinsured under this Agreement; provided, however,

that providing unsolicited replacements at the request of a Policy owner
shall not be considered a Program of Internal Replacement.

6. Termination for Nonpayment of 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 ninety (90) 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. If the
Reinsurer fails to pay the Benefit Payments or any other amounts due to the
Ceding Company pursuant to this Agreement, within sixty (60) days after the
receipt of the Quarterly Accounting Report, the Ceding Company may
terminate this Agreement, subject to thirty (30) days prior written notice
to the Reinsurer. Such termination shall be subject to the payment of a
Terminal Accounting and Settlement as described in Article VIII Paragraph
2.

ARTICLE VIII. TERMINAL ACCOUNTING AND SETTLEMENT

if: (1) any reinsurance under this Agreement is recaptured in accordance
with Article XII Paragraph E; (2) any portion or percentage of all
reinsurance under this Agreement is recaptured in accordance with Article
VII, Paragraph 3; (3) the Policies are subject to a Program of Internal
Replacement as described in Article VII, Paragraph 5; or (4) this Agreement
is terminated.

2. Terminal Accounting Date. A "Terminal Accounting Date" shall be the
------------------------

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 in writing.

3. Settlement. The Terminal Accounting and Settlement payment shall be
----------
negotiated at time of recapture.

If only a portion or a percentage of all of Policies is recaptured, then
the Terminal Accounting and Settlement payment described above shall be
made only with respect to the portion or percentage of such Policies
recaptured.

4. Supplementary Accounting and Settlement. In the event that, subsequent to
---------------------------------------
the Terminal Accounting and Settlement as provided above, a change is made
with respect to any amounts due, a supplementary accounting shall take

or to any Reinsurer by reason of such supplementary accounting shall be
paid within fifteen (15) days following the completion thereof.

ARTICLE XI. ARBITRATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. All disputes and differences arising from or related to this Agreement
between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall be decided by
arbitration, regardless of the insolvency of either party, unless the
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor is specifically exempted from
an arbitration proceeding by applicable law.

B. A party may only initiate an arbitration by providing written notification
to the other party that shall expressly set forth (a) a brief statement of
the issue(s); (b) the failure of the parties to reach agreement; (c) the
date of the demand for arbitration and (d) the specific dollar value of the
claim asserted, exclusive of (i) interest, (ii) consequential, special or
punitive damages, and (iii) attorney's fees. In the event that more than
one Reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers shall
act as one party.

C. Where the dollar amount claimed in the notice of arbitration is equal to or
less than $500,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of a single
disinterested arbitrator who must, at that time, be accredited as an umpire
by XXXXX-US. The Umpire Selection Procedures of XXXXX-US, as in force at
that time, shall be used to select the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be
conducted in accordance with this Article subject to the following
exceptions: (i) There shall be no discovery permitted in cases heard by a
single arbitrator, unless by mutual agreement of the parties; (ii) the
arbitrator's decision shall be based on the submission of briefs,
affidavits and documents, and there shall be no hearing permitted unless
requested by all parties; and (iii) there shall be no ex parte
communication with the arbitrator. In an arbitration presented to a single
arbitrator, the arbitrator shall render his decision within 120 days of his
or her appointment.

Where the dollar amount claimed in the notice of arbitration is in excess
of $500,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators who
must be disinterested and each of whom must, at that time, either be
accredited as an arbitrator by XXXXX-US, attorneys who are neither current
nor former employees of either party to this Agreement or any entity
affiliated with either party to this Agreement, or be an active or former
officer of a life insurance or life reinsurance company other than the
parties or their affiliates.

D. In arbitrations requiring three arbitrators, each party shall select an
arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date of the demand. If either
party refuses or fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time allowed,
the party that has appointed an arbitrator may notify the other party that,
if it

has not appointed its arbitrator within the following ten (10) days, the
arbitrator shall appoint an arbitrator on its behalf. Within thirty (30)
days of the appointment of the second arbitrator the two (2) arbitrators
shall select the third arbitrator, who must also be, at that time,
accredited by XXXXX-US as an umpire. If the two arbitrators fail to agree
on the selection of the third arbitrator within the time allowed, the
Umpire Selection Procedures of XXXXX-US, as in force at that time, shall be
used to select the third arbitrator. The arbitration panel shall hold an
organizational meeting within thirty (30) days of the selection of the last
member of the panel. At the panel's sole discretion, all meetings and
hearings before the arbitrators may be conducted telephonically. There
shall be no ex parte communication with the Umpire.

E. The arbitrator(s) shall interpret this Agreement as both an honorable
engagement and a legal obligation and, in the absence of controlling
language in this Agreement, shall consider equitable principles as well as
industry custom and practice regarding the applicable insurance and
reinsurance busines. The arbitrator(s) are released from judicial
formalities and shall not be bound by strict rules of procedure and
evidence, provided, however, that the arbitrator(s) will abide by
applicable laws and precedents concerning evidentiary privileges or
doctrines that restrict a party's obligation to produce evidence,
including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege and attorney
work product doctrine.

F. After a notice demanding arbitration is received and the arbitrators
appointed, each party to the arbitration shall be required to disclose
within thirty days to the other party all documents in its control and not
protected by the attorney client privilege or otherwise protected from
disclosure by applicable law pertaining to any of the disputes,
controversies or claims contained in the notice demanding arbitration or as
directed by any two of the arbitrators, provided, however, that nothing
herein shall prohibit any party from seeking relief from the arbitrators
with respect to any discovery obligation or request that imposes an undue
burden on a party

Any two of the arbitrators shall be empowered at any time to: (i) compel
disclosure of documents or submissions of interrogatories or depositions
and (ii) determine the relevance or pertinence of any document or person to
the dispute, controversy, or claim submitted for arbitration. The
arbitrators shall have the discretion to decide all disputed issues
following the submissions of briefs and/or affidavits without a formal
hearing. If the arbitrators deem it an appropriate case, the arbitrators
shall have the authority to decide all or any of the issues in dispute on a
motion for summary judgment without need for a formal hearing.

The arbitrators shall adhere to, and require compliance, with the following
timetable: (i) the length of time from the formation of the panel to the
final award rendered by the arbitrators shall be no longer than eight
months; (ii)

no longer than ninety days shall transpire for purposes of document
disclosure and, if permitted by the arbitrators, production of witness
interrogatories and depositions; and, if a hearing is required, (iii) no
longer than five days shall transpire for presentation of the case to the
arbitrators, and the arbitrators shall be directed to use their best
efforts to reach their decision and render an award no longer than thirty
days thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above,
any award rendered shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered
ineffective solely as a result of any failure to comply with any component
of the above timetable.

Organizational and other meetings shall be conducted in English and, unless
conducted telephonically, be held in New York, New York.

G. The arbitrators shall decide all matters by majority vote. The decisions of
the arbitrator(s) shall be issued in the form of written reasoned opinion
expressly stating the panel's (or the arbitrator's, as the case may be)
specific findings of fact and conclusions of law, and shall be final and
binding on both parties. The arbitrators may, in their discretion, award
costs and expenses, as they deem appropriate, including but not limited to
legal fees and interest. Judgment may be entered upon the final decisions
of the arbitrator(s) in any court of competent jurisdiction. The
arbitrator(s) may not award any exemplary or punitive damages.

H. Unless the arbitrators provide otherwise, each party shall be responsible
for (a) all fees and expenses charged by its respective counsel,
accountants, actuaries and other representatives in connection with the
arbitration and (b) one-half of the expenses of the arbitration, including
the fees of the arbitrators.

ARTICLE XII. INSOLVENCY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. A party to this Agreement will be deemed insolvent when it:

a. applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver,
rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator or statutory successor of its
properties or assets;

b. is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent;

c. files or consents to the filings of a petition in bankruptcy, seeks
reorganization to avoid insolvency or makes formal application for any
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or similar law or statute; or

d. becomes the subject of an order to rehabilitate or an order to
liquidate as defined by the insurance code of the jurisdiction of the
party's domicile.

B. In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company all reinsurance
benefits shall be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Ceding Company
or to the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding Company
on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company under the policies
reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding
Company.

C. In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, the liquidator,
receiver, or statutory successor shall give the Reinsurer written notice of
the pendency of a claim on a reinsured Policy 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 name of the Ceding Company (or its liquidator, receiver, or
statutory successor), but at its own expense, in the proceeding where such
claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that the Reinsurer may
deem available to the Ceding Company or its liquidator, receiver, or
statutory successor.

D. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall 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 which 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 shall be

apportioned in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements as
though such expense had been incurred by the Ceding Company.

E. In the event of the insolvency of the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company may
recapture all of the business reinsured by the Reinsurer under this
Agreement. Such recapture shall be effective as of the date of the
insolvency. Such recapture shall be subject to the payment of a Terminal
Accounting and Settlement as described in Article VIII.

F. In the event of the insolvency of either party, the insolvent party must
notify the other party of its insolvency within thirty (30) days.

G. In the event of the insolvency of the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company must
notify the Reinsurer (or its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor)
whether or not it is going to recapture the business within sixty (60) days
after being notified of the Reinsurer's insolvency.

-----
location or locations to be designated by the Ceding Company, audit any and

occurred, provided that such error or omission is rectified as soon as
practicable after discovery.

4. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. The Ceding Company and the

condition of this Agreement. No prior transactions or dealings between the
parties shall be deemed to establish any custom or usage waiving or
modifying any provision hereof. The failure of either party to enforce any

consent.

confidential information does not include information that is (a) generally
available in the public domain and is derived or received from such public
sources; (b) received, obtained, developed or created independently from
the performance of obligations under this Agreement; or (c) disclosed by or

that disclosure is required by applicable law or any court, governmental
agency or regulatory authority or by subpoena or discovery request in
pending litigation. In the event that either party becomes legally
compelled to disclose any secret or confidential information of the other
party, such party shall give prompt written notice of that fact to the
other party so that such other party may seek an appropriate remedy to
prevent such disclosure; provided, however, that this provision shall not
apply to information that is or otherwise becomes available to the public
or that was previously available on a non-confidential basis. This
provision does not prohibit the sharing of information with
Retrocessionaires or other parties engaged to provide services in
connection with this Agreement, to the extent necessary to provide such
services, provided that such Retrocessionaires and parties shall have
agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

In the event that the Reinsurer becomes aware of the unauthorized access to
or disclosure of Customer Information to a third party, it shall give
prompt written notice of that fact to the Ceding Company and shall take
reasonable steps prevent further unauthorized access or disclosure and
mitigate damages and will cooperate with the Ceding Company to satisfy, at
the Reinsurer's expense, all legal requirements including any required
notification to affected individuals.

this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all
communications and payments, have been and shall be carried out by the

without the intervention of any person in such manner as to give rise to
any valid claim by any other person against the Ceding Company for a
finder's fee, brokerage, commission or similar payment. Any communication
or payment delivered by the Ceding Company to a designated agent,
intermediary or representative of the Reinsurer shall be deemed delivered
to the Reinsurer and no delivery of a communication or payment by the
Reinsurer to its agent, intermediary or representative shall be deemed
delivered to the Ceding Company until actual receipt by the Ceding Company.

drafting of this Agreement, it has been represented by and has relied upon
the advice of counsel of its choice; that its counsel has had a substantial

------------

ARTICLE XIV. NON-ADMITTED REINSURANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Security Requirement. In the event that the Ceding Company shall, at any
--------------------
time, notify the Reinsurer of its determination that security for
reinsurance recoverables hereunder is or may be necessary for the Ceding
Company to obtain any associated regulatory statement credit for
reinsurance ceded to this Agreement on account of the Reinsurer being
neither admitted or accredited as a reinsurer, the Reinsurer shall
establish a trust ("the Trust") in accordance with Section B of this
Article or the Reinsurer shall provide a letter of credit (an "LOC") in
accordance with Section C of this Article.

B. Trust Agreement.
---------------

1. Except as may be provided in Section C of this Article, the Ceding
Company and the Reinsurer shall enter in to a Trust Agreement that
complies with the requirements of New York Regulation 114,
establishing a Trust Account for the benefit of the Ceding Company to
cover the recoverables and/or Statutory Reserves attributable to the
Reinsured Policies. The Trustee shall be a bank, acceptable to each
party, that is organized in the United States; that is regulated,
supervised and examined by federal or state banking regulatory
authorities; and that meets any other applicable regulatory financial
condition standards. The bank shall not be a parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of the Ceding Company or Reinsurer.

2. This Trust Agreement is intended to secure Annual Statement credit for
reinsurance ceded by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer in accordance
with regulations of the domiciliary state of the Ceding Company and,
in the event that the parties fail to enter into the Trust Agreement
and fund the Trust Account, as provided herein, within five (5)
working days after this Agreement shall have been signed by both
parties, this Agreement, unless the parties otherwise provide, shall
be null and void.

3. Assets having a value at least equal to 102% of the Statutory Reserves
attributable to the Reinsured Policies shall be deposited into the
Trust Account and maintained at all times until its dissolution.
Assets deposited in the Trust Account shall be valued according to
their current fair market value, as determined under the statutory
accounting rules of the domiciliary state of the Ceding Company, and
shall consist only of cash (United States legal tender) and
investments of the types specified in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (8)
and (10) of subsection (a) of Section 1404 of the New York Insurance
Law that are not issued by a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of either
party.

4. Prior to depositing assets with the Trustee, the Reinsurer shall
execute assignments, endorsements in blank or transfer legal title to
the Trustee of all shares, obligations or any other assets requiring
assignment in order that the Ceding Company or the Trustee, upon
direction of the Ceding Company, may, whenever, necessary, negotiate
any such assets without consent or signature from the Reinsurer of an
other person or entity, other than the Trustee, in accordance with the
terms of the Trust Agreement.

5. Assets in the Trust Account, established hereunder, may be withdrawn
by the Ceding Company at any time, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, and shall be utilized and applied by the
Ceding Company or any successor of the Company by operation of law,
including without limitation any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver
or conservator of the Ceding Company, without diminution because of
insolvency on the part of the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, only
for the following purposes:

i. to reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of
premiums returned to the owners of the Policies on account of
cancellations of such Policies;

ii. to reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of
benefits claims paid by the Ceding Company under the terms and
provisions of the Policies;

iii. to fund an account with the Ceding Company in an amount at least
equal to the ceded reinsurance deduction from the Ceding
Company's Policy liabilities hereunder, which amount shall
include, but not be limited to, reserves for benefit claims
incurred (including benefit claims incurred but not reported)

iv. to pay any other amounts that the Ceding Company claims to be due
hereunder

6. With the approval of the Ceding Company, the Reinsurer may withdraw
from the Trust Account all or any part of the assets contained therein
and transfer such assets to the Reinsurer; provided

i. the Reinsurer shall, at the time of such withdrawal, replace the
withdrawn assets with other qualified assets having a market
value equal to the market value of the assets withdrawn so as to
maintain the Trust Account at the required amount at all times;
or

ii. after such withdrawals and transfers, the market value of the
Trust Account is not less than 102% of the required amount.

The Ceding Company shall be the sole judge as to the application of
this provision, but shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold its
approval.

7. The Ceding Company will return any amounts withdrawn from the Trust in
excess of the actual amounts required for subparagraphs (i), (ii) and
(iii) of paragraph 5 or, in the case of subparagraph (iv) of paragraph
5, any amounts that are subsequently determined not to be due. The
Ceding Company will pay interest on amounts held pursuant to
subparagraph (iii) of paragraph 5 at a rate equal to the "Prime Rate"
published in The Wall Street Journal (currently the base rate on
corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest
banks), which rate shall be adjusted on the last day of each month;
and

8. All of the foregoing provisions are to be applied without diminution
because of insolvency on the part of either party.

C. Letters of Credit.

1. The Reinsurer will provide an LOC that complies with New York
Regulation 133.

acceptable to each party, that is organized in the United States; that
is regulated, supervised and examined by federal or state banking
regulatory authorities; that meets National Association of Insurance
Commissioners-Securities Valuation Office standards for acceptable
LOC issuance and that is not a foreign branch office of a bank or
trust company organized and existing in the United States. The bank

or Reinsurer.

3. The LOC may be drawn at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions
herein and may be utilized by the Ceding Company or any successor by
operation of law, including without limitation any liquidator,
rehabilitator or receiver of the Ceding Company for the following
purposes:

i. to reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of
Policy premiums returned on account of cancellations;

benefit claims paid by the Ceding Company under the terms and
provisions of the Policies;

iv. to pay any other amounts that the Ceding Company claims to be due
hereunder

4. The Ceding Company will return any amounts drawn on the LOC in excess

paragraph, any amounts that are subsequently determined not to be due.
The Ceding Company will pay interest on amounts held pursuant to
subparagraph (iii) at a rate equal to the "Prime Rate" published in

posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks), which rate
