SECTION 1 – ACCUMULATION FUND – ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION

1.1 POLICY PAYMENTS. The Policyholder agrees to pay to GLAIC in the currency specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule (the “Specified Currency”), and by wire transfer, the Net Deposit Amount on the Deposit Date. Regardless of the Effective Date of the Policy or the Deposit Date specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, this Policy shall become effective only upon the receipt by GLAIC, or its designee, of the Net Deposit Amount.

1.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ACCUMULATION FUND. Upon the receipt by GLAIC of the Net Deposit Amount, GLAIC will establish an Accumulation Fund. The Accumulation Fund is a general account record that reflects the Fund Balance under this Policy. GLAIC is neither a trustee nor a fiduciary with respect to the Accumulation Fund. The Net Deposit Amount is allocated to GLAIC’s general account for investment but all funds received under this Policy will become the exclusive property of GLAIC without any duty or requirement for segregation or separate investment. The Fund Balance is not affected by the investment results of the assets held in the general account.

1.3 INTEREST ON THE ACCUMULATION FUND. The Guaranteed Rate for the Accumulation Fund is effective until the Fund Balance is paid in full to the Policyholder. Interest is credited based upon the methodology specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule.

1.4 VALUE OF THE ACCUMULATION FUND. The Fund Balance on any given day equals the Deposit Amount plus interest, if any, credited thereon at the Guaranteed Rate, less any payments made under Section 2 of the Policy.

SECTION 2 – PAYMENTS FROM THE ACCUMULATION FUND

2.1 PERIODIC PAYMENTS. GLAIC will pay the Policyholder the amounts specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule as Periodic Payouts, including the Maturity Payout, on the dates specified (subject to Section 4.7). Such payment amounts are adjusted to reflect any other payment payable under this Section of the Policy. The interest factor used in making such adjustments is the Guaranteed Rate.

2.2 OPTIONAL REPAYMENT. If so indicated in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC shall pay to the Policyholder the amount the Policyholder needs to redeem or repay any notes or other instruments issued by the Policyholder and backed by this Policy, pursuant to any limited right of redemption or repayment contained in such note or instrument. GLAIC may require reasonable evidence that the redemption or repayment request satisfies all the terms and conditions described in the prospectus, prospectus supplement and/or pricing supplement applicable to such note or other instrument. Additional restrictions, if any, on the Policyholder’s reimbursement rights under this Section may be included in the Accumulation Fund Schedule.

1

2.3 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. If so indicated in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC may elect to pay the Policyholder all or any part of the Fund Balance on the Call Dates specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule. Unless otherwise provided in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC will give the Policyholder at least forty-five (45) days and no more than seventy-five (75) days notice of its intent to make such pre-payment. No adjustment will be made to the amount of such payment, unless such adjustment is specifically provided for in the Accumulation Fund Schedule.

2.4 MATURITY PAYMENTS. GLAIC shall pay the Policyholder the Fund Balance on the Maturity Date.

2.5 FORM OF PAYMENT. All payments GLAIC makes to the Policyholder will be made in the Specified Currency, by wire transfer, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, all payments GLAIC makes will be net of any applicable withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any governmental authority having the power to tax. Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, such net payments fully satisfy GLAIC’s obligation to the Policyholder with respect to the full amount due.

SECTION 3 – TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

3.1 AUTOMATIC TERMINATION/ACCELERATION. This Policy terminates with respect to the Accumulation Fund when the Fund Balance is zero and GLAIC’s obligations hereunder shall automatically accelerate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 3.3(a).

3.2 EARLY TERMINATION/ACCELERATION.

The Policyholder may accelerate this Policy by giving GLAIC not less than two (2) Business Days’ written notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 3.3 b., c. or d. below. GLAIC may accelerate this Policy, in whole but not in part, by giving the Policyholder not less than forty-five (45) days’, but no more than seventy-five (75) days’, prior written notice of the occurrence of a Tax Event as described in Section 3.4, provided, however that this Policy shall not be terminated until the Fund Balance has been paid to the Policyholder in full.

2

3.3 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An Event of Default occurs if:

a. GLAIC is dissolved or a resolution is passed or proceeding is instituted for the winding-up, liquidation or similar arrangement of GLAIC (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger);

b. GLAIC breaches any material obligation, representation or certification contained herein, provided that there is no bona fide dispute as to whether such breach has occurred and that such breach continues for fifteen (15) Business Days following the Policyholder’s written notice to GLAIC of such breach;

c. GLAIC fails to make any required Periodic Payout (other than the Maturity Payout) described in the Accumulation Fund Schedule or any other payment described in Sections 2.2 or 2.3 of this Policy or any other funding agreement GLAIC issues in connection with the Program, and such failure continues for seven (7) Business Days after the due date thereof;

d. GLAIC fails to make the Maturity Payout described in the Accumulation Fund Schedule or in any other funding agreement GLAIC issues in connection with the Program and such failure is continuing as of the end of the Business Day following the due date thereof.

3.4 TAX EVENT. A “Tax Event” occurs if GLAIC has received an opinion of independent legal counsel stating in effect that there is more than an insubstantial risk that as a result of any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any governmental authority in the United States, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced on or after the Deposit Date, the Policyholder is or will be within ninety (90) days of the date thereof, (1) subject to an entity level U.S. federal income tax with respect to interest accrued or received on this Policy or (2) subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, if GLAIC shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Section 3, but an event of default has occurred with respect to the notes backed by the Policy and as a result payments with respect to the notes have been accelerated, otherwise than by reason of any default under this Policy by GLAIC, no Event of Default (as defined above) under this Policy shall be deemed to have occurred, no payments with respect to this Policy shall be accelerated and GLAIC will remain obligated to make payments under this Policy as if no Event of Default had occurred with respect to the notes.

SECTION 4 – GENERAL PROVISIONS

4.1 PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION. Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC shall pay the Policyholder the Fund Balance on the Maturity Date. Such payment fully discharges GLAIC’s obligation to the Policyholder under this Policy.

4.2 DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY. GLAIC’s only liability is as set out in this Policy, including the Accumulation Fund Schedule attached hereto. In performing its obligations under this Policy, GLAIC is not acting as a fiduciary or agent for the Policyholder or anyone else regardless of whether or not they are directly or indirectly associated with the Policyholder.

3

4.3 NOTICES. All agreements, notices, directions, consents, elections or other communication (“Notices”) required by this Policy must be in writing, directed to the applicable address designated on the face page.

4.7 PAYMENTS BY GLAIC. When this Policy provides that GLAIC will make a payment to the Policyholder, such payment shall be made to the Policyholder or to the agent the Policyholder designates. Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, if a payment date is not a Business Day, GLAIC will pay such amount on the next Business Day.

4.8 WAIVER BY GLAIC. At the Policyholder’s request, GLAIC may waive any terms, conditions or adjustments provided for in this Policy. Any such waiver is subject to any limitations GLAIC specifies in making the waiver and does not require GLAIC to grant similar future waivers to the Policyholder or anyone else. A failure or delay in exercising a right under this Policy does not waive GLAIC’s right or ability to assert such right in the future.

4.9 MUTUAL REPRESENTATIONS. The parties mutually represent and warrant, each to the other, that:

a. This Policy is its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditor’s rights, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principals of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in proceeding in equity or law;
