ARTICLE I
PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is between Hartford Life Insurance Company (referred to as the
Ceding Company), and Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (referred to
as the Reinsurer).
The acceptance of risks under this Agreement will create no right or legal
relationship between the Reinsurer and the insured owner or beneficiary of any
insurance policy or contract of the Ceding Company. This Agreement will be
binding upon the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer and their respective
successors and assignees.
ARTICLE II
REINSURANCE COVERAGE
Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to insurance issued by the Ceding
Company on the Plans of Insurance shown in Schedule A. Such Plans of Insurance
shall be reinsured with the Reinsurer on an automatic basis, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section A below, or on a facultative basis, subject to
the requirements set forth in Section B below, or on a facultative obligatory
basis, subject to the requirements set forth in Section C below. The
specifications for all reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule
B.
A. Requirements for Automatic Reinsurance
For risks which meet the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance as set forth
below, the Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance pool whereby the
Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the insurance risks as
indicated in Schedule B. The requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are as
follows:
1. The individual risk must be a resident of the United States or
Canada at the time of application with the exception of the Foreign
National Program as specified in Schedule C.
2. The individual risk must be underwritten according to the Ceding
Company's standard underwriting practices and guidelines. Any risk
falling into the category of special underwriting programs will be
excluded from this Agreement unless previously agreed to by the
Reinsurer via a written amendment. Any proposed changes to the
Ceding Company's standard underwriting practices or guidelines shall
be submitted to the Reinsurer for written approval prior to
implementation that impact business reinsured under this Agreement
(i.e. underwriting manuals, age and amount underwriting cards, and
special underwriting programs).
3. Any risk offered on a facultative basis other than for size by the
Ceding Company to the Reinsurer or any other company will not
qualify for Automatic Reinsurance under this Agreement for the same
risk and same life.
4. The maximum issue age will be 90.
5. As shown in Exhibit II, the mortality rating on each risk must not
exceed Table P.

Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto

6. The total face amount of insurance for the Plans of Insurance in
Schedule A to be reinsured on an automatic basis must not exceed the
Automatic Issue Limits and Automatic Binding Limits in Exhibit II.
7. The total amount of insurance issued and applied for in all
companies on each risk must not exceed the jumbo limits as stated in
Exhibit II.
8. The Ceding Company shall retain its maximum limit of retention for
the age and risk classification of the insured, as shown in Exhibit
II, either on previous insurance or insurance currently applied for.
B. Requirements for Facultative Reinsurance
1. If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met, but the
Ceding Company prefers to apply for Facultative Reinsurance with the
Reinsurer, or if the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are not
met and the Ceding Company applies for Facultative Reinsurance with
the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company must submit to the Reinsurer
all the papers, facsimiles, or sufficient evidence agreed upon
between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer relating to the
insurability of the individual life for Facultative Reinsurance.
2. For applications for Facultative Reinsurance, the Ceding Company
will send copies of all of the papers or facsimiles relating to the
insurability of the individual risk to the Reinsurer. After the
Reinsurer has examined the request, the Reinsurer will promptly
notify the Ceding Company of the underwriting offer subject to
additional requirements or the final underwriting offer. The final
underwriting offer on the individual risk will automatically
terminate upon the earlier of the withdrawal of the application or
(90) ninety days from the date of the final offer, unless coverage
is accepted or put in place earlier. This (90) day limitation will
be indicated by the Reinsurer on the final reinsurance offer.
3. Notwithstanding the above, if the requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance are met except that the face amount of reinsurance
applied for is greater than the Automatic Issue Limit, but does not
exceed the Automatic Processing Limit, then the Ceding Company will
submit to the Lead Reinsurer (as designated in Schedule B) all
papers relating to the insurability of the individual risk. The Lead
Reinsurer shall review the papers to determine if the risk should be
reinsured by the pool, and, if so, on what basis. The Lead Reinsurer
shall provide the Ceding Company with a response within 24 hours of
receipt of the papers. Approval of the Lead Reinsurer shall be
binding on all other pool members. This process shall be known as
Automatic Processing and subject to the limitations in Exhibit II.
C. Requirements for Facultative Obligatory Reinsurance
The Reinsurer agrees to a facultative obligatory arrangement whereby the Ceding
Company may cede a risk to the Reinsurer and the Reinsurer agrees to accept the
risk using the Ceding Company's underwriting evaluation, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The requirements for Automatic Reinsurance specified in Article II
must be met
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto
4
with one exception. This exception is that the total amount of
insurance issued and applied for in all companies on each risk has
exceeded the jumbo limits set forth in Exhibit II.
2. The arrangement is available on all policy forms covered under this
Reinsurance Agreement.
3. The ceded risk is subject to the Facultative Obligatory Automatic
Binding Limits and the Facultative Obligatory Automatic Issue
Limits, as stated in Exhibit II. However, to the extent that the
Reinsurer has already filled its available capacity on the risk, the
Reinsurer may deny or reduce the requested capacity by notifying the
Ceding Company. In addition, the Reinsurer may choose to provide
Facultative Obligatory capacity greater than as specified in
Schedule B.
4. The Reinsurer will have a reasonable amount of time, but not to
exceed two (2) business days, to respond to the Ceding Company's
request for a Facultative Obligatory risk.
D. Basis of Reinsurance
Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on the basis as stated in Schedule B.
E. Policy Forms
When requested, the Ceding Company will furnish the Reinsurer with a copy of
each policy, rider, rate book, and applicable sales or marketing material that
applies to the life insurance reinsured hereunder.
ARTICLE III
LIABILITY
A. The Reinsurer's liability for Automatic and Facultative Obligatory
Reinsurance will begin simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability.
B. The Reinsurer's liability for Facultative Reinsurance coverage will begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability once the Reinsurer has
accepted the application for Facultative Reinsurance and the Ceding Company has
accepted the offer.
C. In no event shall the reinsurance be in force and binding if the issuance
and delivery of such insurance constituted the doing of business in a
jurisdiction in which the Ceding Company was not properly licensed.
D. The Reinsurer's liability for reinsurance on the individual risk will
terminate when the Ceding Company's liability terminates.
E. The Reinsurer will not be liable for benefits paid under the Ceding
Company's conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement unless all the
conditions for the conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement are met.
The Reinsurer's liability under the Ceding Company's conditional receipt or
temporary insurance agreement is limited to the lesser of (1) or (2) below:
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto

1. The amount for which the Ceding Company is liable, less its
retention shown in Exhibit II, or
2. The face amount of the application subject to the maximum of, the
amount provided by the Ceding Company's Conditional Receipt
Application or Temporary Insurance Agreement.
The pre-issue liability applies provided that the Ceding Company has followed
its normal cash-with-application procedures for such coverage. After a policy
has been issued, no reinsurance benefits are payable under this pre-issue
coverage provision.
F. The liability of each pool member shall be separate and not joint with the
other pool members.
G. The Reinsurer shall establish reserves on the Reinsurer's portion of the
policy on the reserve basis specified in Article VI.
ARTICLE IV
NOTIFICATION OF REINSURANCE
A. For Automatic and Facultative Reinsurance, the Ceding Company will notify
the Reinsurer on the monthly statement as described in Article V.
B. When reinsurance is reduced or changed, the Ceding Company will notify the
Reinsurer on the monthly accounting statement.
ARTICLE V
REINSURANCE PREMIUMS
A. Computation
Premiums for reinsurance under this Agreement will be computed as described in
Exhibit I.
B. Premium Accounting
1. Payment of Reinsurance Premiums
For Automatic and Facultative Reinsurance, following the close of
each calendar month, the Ceding Company will send the Reinsurer a
statement and a listing of new business, changes, and terminations.
The Reinsurer will refund to the Ceding Company all unearned Annual
YRT Reinsurance Premiums not including policy fees, less applicable
allowances, arising from reductions, terminations and changes as
described in Article IX.
Annual YRT Reinsurance Premiums, as calculated in Exhibit I, based
on the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk, as defined in Schedule B, are
paid annual in advance each month for those policies renewing during
that month.
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto

If a net reinsurance premium balance is payable to the Reinsurer, the
Ceding Company will forward this balance within (30) thirty days after the
close of each month. If a net reinsurance premium balance is payable to the
Ceding Company, the balance due will be subtracted from the reinsurance
premium payable by the Ceding Company for the current month.
The reinsurance premiums for all of the reinsurance risks listed on the
statement will be delinquent if the net reinsurance premium balance is not
received or paid within (30) thirty days after the close of the month.
When the reinsurance premiums are deemed delinquent, as defined above, a
compound interest penalty may be assessed each month the premiums remain
delinquent. Interest shall be calculated from the day following the date
the premiums are due and payable to the day such premium payment is mailed
or the last day of the accounting period, whichever comes first, regardless
of holidays and weekends. The rate of interest charged each month shall be
the lesser of (i) the 30 Day Treasury Bill rate as published in the Money
Rate Section or any successor section of the Wall Street Journal on the
first business day following the date the premiums are deemed delinquent or
(ii) the maximum rate allowed by law in the State of Connecticut. Premiums
and interest penalties that remain unpaid shall be carried forward into the
next month's interest penalty calculation.
2. Termination Because of Non-Payment of Premium
If undisputed reinsurance premiums are delinquent, the Reinsurer has the
right to terminate the reinsurance risks on those policies listed on the
delinquent monthly statement by giving the Ceding Company (90) ninety days'
advance written notice. If the delinquent premiums have not been paid as of
the close of this (90) ninety-day period, the Reinsurer's liability will
terminate for the risks described in the delinquency notice.
Regardless of the termination, the Ceding Company will continue to be
liable to the Reinsurer for all unpaid reinsurance premiums earned up to
the date of termination.
3. Reinstatement of a Delinquent Statement
The Ceding Company may reinstate the terminated risks within (60) sixty
days after the effective date of termination by paying the unpaid
reinsurance premiums for the risks in force prior to the termination.
However, the Reinsurer will not be liable for any claim incurred between
the date of termination and reinstatement. The effective date of
reinstatement will be the day the Reinsurer receives the required back
premiums and any assessed interest.
4. Currency
The reinsurance premiums and benefits payable under this Agreement will be
payable in the lawful money of the United States.

5. Detailed Listing
Before the end of the first quarter, the Ceding Company will send the
Reinsurer a detailed listing of all reinsurance in force as of the close of
the immediately preceding calendar year.
6. Guaranteed Rates
The Reinsurer reserves the right to increase reinsurance premiums only if
the Ceding Company increases the rates (including monthly administrative
charge, mortality and expense risk rates, face amount mortality and expense
risk rate per 1000, and cost of insurance rates) to the policy owner. If
the increase to these reinsurance premiums are more than proportional to
the increase to the policy owners' cost of insurance rates, the Ceding
Company will have the right to recapture the business as of the date of the
notice of rate change.
7. Overpayment of Premium
If the Ceding Company overpays a reinsurance premium and the Reinsurer
accepts the overpayment, the Reinsurer's acceptance will not constitute nor
create a reinsurance liability nor result in any additional reinsurance.
Instead, the Reinsurer will be liable to the Ceding Company for a credit in
the amount of the overpayment.
8. Underpayment of Premium
If the Ceding Company fails to make a full premium payment for a policy or
policies reinsured hereunder, due to an oversight defined in Article VII,
the amount of reinsurance coverage provided by the Reinsurer shall not be
reduced. However, once the underpayment is discovered, the Ceding Company
will be required to pay to the Reinsurer the difference between the full
premium amount and the amount actually paid, without interest. If payment
or the full premium is not made within (60) sixty days after the discovery
of the underpayment, the underpayment shall be treated as a failure to pay
premiums and subject to the conditions of Section B.2, above.
ARTICLE VI
RESERVES
A. Statutory Reserves for the Mortality Risk of the Policy
[Redacted]
B. Representations
The Reinsurer represents to the Ceding Company that the Reinsurer is properly
licensed or accredited so that the Ceding Company may claim statutory reserve
credit on its financial statements filed in all states in which the Ceding
Company is licensed to transact insurance business. In the event that as a
result of a change in the Reinsurer's licensing or accreditation status, the
Ceding Company must obtain security for statutory
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto
8
reserve credits taken with respect to this reinsurance agreement, the Reinsurer
will establish a trust or letter of credit in a form which meets all applicable
standards or law and regulation to enable the Ceding Company to claim such
reserve credit on its statutory statements. However, if the form of security to
be used is other than a trust or letter of credit, the Ceding Company shall
review the alternative method to ensure compliance with applicable laws and
regulations regarding statutory reserve credit. In the event the Ceding Company
and the Reinsurer agree on an alternative method, this Agreement will be amended
to reflect the mutually agreed upon terms applicable to such alternative method.
In addition, the Reinsurer may novate this Agreement to a licensed or accredited
affiliate, which is acceptable to the Ceding Company. The Reinsurer will bear
all expense of establishing any trusts, letters of credit or other means of
securing the Ceding Company's statutory reserve credit.
ARTICLE VII
OVERSIGHTS
If there is an unintentional oversight, misunderstanding, delay or error in the
administration of this Agreement by the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, it can
be corrected provided the correction takes place within a reasonable time after
the oversight, misunderstanding, delay, or error is first discovered. Both the
Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will be restored to the position they would
have occupied had the oversight or misunderstanding not occurred. Should it not
be possible to restore both parties to such a position, the Ceding Company and
the Reinsurer shall negotiate in good faith to equitably apportion any resulting
liabilities and expenses.
ARTICLE VIII
CONVERSIONS
Conversions from existing term plans of insurance reinsured under this Agreement
will be reinsured using the YRT premiums attached as Exhibit I on a point in
scale basis up to the original face amount. The converted policy will be
reinsured with the Reinsurer in the same proportion as was determined for the
original term policy. A term conversion is a contractual right of the
policyholder to replace a term policy with a permanent policy without evidence
of insurability.
ARTICLE IX
REDUCTIONS, TERMINATIONS AND CHANGES
A. Replacement or Change
If there is a contractual change, the insurance will continue to be reinsured
with the Reinsurer at point-in-scale rates.
Exchanges from one single life plan reinsured under this Agreement to a
different single life plan will be reinsured at point-in-scale rates. An
exchange is a new policy replacing an existing policy where the new policy is
not fully underwritten.

B. Increases or Decreases
1. If the policy face amount of a risk reinsured automatically under
this Agreement increases and:
a. The increase is subject to new underwriting evidence, then the
provisions of Article II, Section A, shall apply to the increase
in reinsurance.
b. The increase is not subject to new underwriting evidence, the
Reinsurer will accept the increase in reinsurance at
point-in-scale rates but not to exceed the Automatic Binding
Limit.
2. If the policy face amount increases, the Ceding Company's retention
will be filled first, then any remaining risk of the increase will
be ceded to the Reinsurer as of the effective date of the increase.
If the policy face amount is reduced, the reinsurance will be
reduced first, thereby maintaining the Ceding Company's retention.
3. In the event of a reduction in the face amount of a policy which was
ceded facultatively, the Reinsurer's percentage of the reduced face
amount shall be the same percentage as set at issue.
4. A request to increase the face amount of policies that are reinsured
on a facultative basis will be submitted to the Reinsurer for
acceptance.
C. Reduction in Retained Coverage
If any portion of the aggregate insurance retained by the Ceding Company on an
individual life reduces or terminates, the Ceding Company will recalculate its
retention on any remaining risk(s) inforce on that life with the intent of
holding the appropriate retention under each applicable reinsurance agreement.
The retention limit which was in effect at the time that each remaining risk was
issued will be used. The Ceding Company will not be required to retain an amount
in excess of its regular retention limit for the age, mortality rating, and risk
classification at the time of issue for any policy. The Ceding Company will
first recalculate the retention on the policy(ies) having the same mortality
rating as the terminated policy(ies). Order of recalculation will secondarily be
determined by policy effective date, oldest first.
D. Multiple Reinsurers
If a risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, the Reinsurer's percentage of
any increased or reduced reinsurance will be the same as its initial percentage
of the reinsurance for that risk.
E. Termination
If the policy for a risk reinsured under this Agreement is terminated, the
reinsurance for the risk involved will be terminated on the effective date of
termination.

F. Mortality Rating
On Automatic Reinsurance, if the Ceding Company requests a change to the risk
class or substandard rating, such change will be underwritten according to the
Ceding Company's normal underwriting practices and the Reinsurer will accept
this change. Mortality rating changes on a facultative basis will be subject to
the Reinsurer's approval.
ARTICLE X
INCREASE IN RETENTION
A. If the Ceding Company should increase the retention limits as listed in
Exhibit II, prompt written notice of the increase must be given to the
Reinsurer.
B. In the event of an increase in retention, the Ceding Company will have the
option of recapturing the reinsurance up to the increased retention under
this Agreement. The Ceding Company may exercise its option to recapture by
giving written notice to the Reinsurer within (90) ninety days after the
effective date of the increase.
C. If the Ceding Company exercises its option to recapture, then:
1. The Ceding Company must reduce the reinsurance on each individual
life on which the Ceding Company retained the maximum retention
limit for the age and mortality rating that was in effect at the
time the reinsurance was ceded to the Reinsurer.
2. No recapture will be made to reinsurance on an individual life if
(a) the Ceding Company retained a special retention limit less than
the maximum retention limit for the age and mortality rating in
effect at the time the reinsurance was ceded to the Reinsurer, or if
(b) the Ceding Company did not retain insurance on the life.
3. The Ceding Company must increase its total amount of insurance on
the individual life up to the new retention limit by reducing the
reinsurance. If an individual life is shared by more than one
reinsurer, the Reinsurer's percentage of the reduced reinsurance
will be the same as the initial reinsurance on the individual risk.
4. The reduction in reinsurance will become effective on the next
annual premium anniversary after the individual policy has been
inforce for at least ten (10) years.
5. If more than one policy per life is eligible for recapture, then the
eligible policies may be recaptured beginning with the policy with
the earliest issue date and continuing in chronological order
according to the remaining policies' issue dates.
ARTICLE XI
REINSTATEMENT
If an insurance policy lapses for nonpayment of premium and is reinstated under
the Ceding Company's terms and rules, the Reinsurer will reinstate the
reinsurance as follows:

11
A. Automatic Cases
The Ceding Company must pay the Reinsurer all back reinsurance premiums in the
same manner as the Ceding Company received insurance charges under the policy.
When the policy is reinstated by the Ceding Company, the reinsurance will be
automatically reinstated.
B. Facultative Cases
If the Ceding Company requires reinstatement evidence of insurability, the
Ceding Company will submit it to the Reinsurer for approval. In such cases, the
Reinsurer's approval is required for the reinsurance to be reinstated. Upon the
Reinsurer's approval, the Ceding Company must pay the Reinsurer all back
reinsurance premiums in the same manner as the Ceding Company received insurance
premium under the policy.
C. Nonforfeiture Reinsurance Termination
If the Ceding Company has been requested to reinstate a policy that was
reinsured while on extended term or reduced paid-up, then such reinsurance will
terminate and either automatic or facultative reinstatement procedures will be
followed as outlined above in this Article.
ARTICLE XII
EXPENSES
The Ceding Company must pay the expense of all medical examinations, inspection
fees and other charges in connection with the issuance of the insurance.
ARTICLE XIII
CLAIMS
A. Liability
If the Ceding Company is liable for insurance benefits on a policy reinsured
under this Agreement, the Reinsurer shall be liable for its portion of the
reinsurance on that policy, as described in Schedule B. All reinsurance claim
settlements will be subject to the terms and conditions of the particular
contract and statutory requirements under which the Ceding Company is liable.
B. Notification
When the Ceding Company is advised of a claim, the Reinsurer must be notified
promptly in writing.

1. Automatic and Facultative Obligatory Reinsurance on a Risk

Reinsurer will abide
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto
12
by the issue as it is settled by the Ceding Company. Copies of proofs or
other written matters relating to any claim reimbursements under this
Agreement shall be furnished to the Reinsurer upon written request.
2. Facultative Reinsurance on a Risk
If a claim is made on a risk reinsured facultatively under this Agreement,
the Ceding Company shall submit to Reinsurer all relevant and/or requested
documents and papers related to the claim along with Ceding Company's
recommendation. Ceding Company shall then wait (10) ten days from the date
of mailing during which time Reinsurer shall have the opportunity to advise
Ceding Company of its consent or disagreement with the recommendation. In
the event Reinsurer does not contact Ceding Company within the (10) ten-day
period, Reinsurer shall be deemed to have approved the recommendation and
Ceding Company shall be authorized to act accordingly.
3. Payment of Reinsurance Proceeds
The Ceding Company will deliver a copy of the proof of death, check copy or
proof of payment, and the claimant's statement to the Reinsurer. The
Reinsurer will pay the Ceding Company the reinsurance proceeds within
fifteen (15) days of final notification of the Ceding Company making the
final decision to pay the policy proceeds.
The Reinsurer shall reimburse the Ceding Company for its proportionate
share of any interest paid on claims. Participation in accrued interest by
the Reinsurer shall be in accordance with the applicable state statutory
regulations.
Payment of life reinsurance proceeds will be made in a single sum
regardless of the Ceding Company's mode of settlement with the payee.
4. Recapture
If an undisputed net amount is (60) sixty days past due, for reasons other
than those due to an unintentional oversight, as defined in Article VII,
the reinsurance benefits will be considered in default, except for any
reinsurance claims that are in dispute with the Ceding Company, and the
Ceding Company may recapture the reinsurance by providing a (30) thirty day
prior written notice, provided payment is not received with that (30)
thirty day period. If at the end of the (30) thirty day period, the
Reinsurer has not made payment, the Ceding Company may recapture the
policies reinsured under this Agreement as described in Article X.
5. Overdue Reinsurance Proceeds
The Ceding Company reserves the right to charge interest on reinsurance
proceeds. The interest will be calculated according to the 90 Day Federal
Government Treasury rate as first published in the Wall Street Journal in
the month following the end of the billing period plus 50 basis points. The
method of calculation will be simple interest "Bankers' Rule" (or 360 day
year).

D. Contested Claims
The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer in writing of the Ceding
Company's intention to contest a claim. The Ceding Company shall provide the
Reinsurer with all papers and the Reinsurer shall have an opportunity to review
the papers. Within (5) five working days after receipt of all the necessary
papers, the Reinsurer shall have the following options:
a) Decline to participate in the contest of the claim. The Reinsurer
shall thereafter discharge its liability with respect to any
contested claim by paying to the Ceding Company the Reinsurer's
proportionate share of the claim as if there had been no controversy.
Upon such discharge, the Reinsurer shall not be liable for any
portion of any "routine expenses" or "non-routine expenses," as
defined in Sections F. and G. below, incurred with respect to such
claim, nor shall the Reinsurer share in any reduced settlement.
b) Agree to participate in the contest of the claim. If after
consultation with the Ceding Company, the Reinsurer agrees to pay its
share based on the results of the contest (agreement to be
communicated by the Reinsurer to the Ceding Company in writing), the
Reinsurer will pay its share of all "routine expenses" and "non-
routine expenses," as defined in Sections F. and G. below, of the
contest.
E. Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the amount of insurance provided by the policy or policies reinsured under
this Agreement is increased or reduced because of misstatement of age or sex
established after the death of the insured, the Reinsurer will share
proportionately with the Ceding Company in this increase or reduction.
F. Routine Expenses
The Ceding Company will pay the routine expenses incurred in connection with
settling claims. These expenses may include compensation of agents and employees
and the cost of routine investigations.
G. Non-Routine Expenses
The Reinsurer will share with the Ceding Company all expenses that are not
routine. Expenses that are not routine are those directly incurred in connection
with the contest or the possibility of a contest of a claim or the assertion of
defenses, including legal expenses. The expenses will be shared in proportion to
the Total Net Amount at Risk, as defined in Schedule B, for the Ceding Company
and the Reinsurer. However, if the Reinsurer has released the liability under
Section D of this Article, the Reinsurer will not share in any expenses incurred
after the date of the Reinsurer's release.
H. Return of Premium for Misrepresentations and Suicides
If a misrepresentation on an application or a death of an insured risk by
suicide results in the Ceding Company returning the policy premiums to the
policy owner rather than paying the policy benefits, the Reinsurer will refund
all of the reinsurance premiums it received on that policy to the Ceding
Company. This refund given by the Reinsurer will be in lieu of all other
reinsurance benefits payable on that policy under this Agreement.

I. Contestable Period
If during the contestable period, Ceding Company is notified of the death of the
insured, the Ceding Company will investigate the case.
ARTICLE XIV
EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES
In no event will the Reinsurer have any liability for any extra-contractual
damages, which are awarded against the Ceding Company as a result of acts,
omissions, or course of conduct committed solely by the Ceding Company with no
involvement of the Reinsurer in connection with the insurance reinsured under
this Agreement. The Reinsurer will, however, pay its share of punitive and/or
compensatory damages and/or statutory penalties awarded against the Ceding
Company in connection with benefits reinsured under this Agreement if the
Reinsurer agreed to the act or course of conduct of the Ceding Company that
resulted in the assessment of such damages.
The Reinsurer recognizes that circumstances may arise under which the Reinsurer,
in equity, should share, to the extent permitted by law, in paying certain
assessed damages. The Reinsurer may be liable for any punitive, statutory or
compensatory damages awarded or assessed against the Ceding Company if 1) the
Reinsurer elected to join in the contest or denial of the claim, in writing, and
2) in writing, recommended, consented to, or ratified the act or course of
conduct of the Ceding Company that ultimately resulted in the assessment of the
extra-contractual damages. The extent of such participation by the Reinsurer is
dependent upon a good faith assessment of culpability in such case to be
determined by the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer. If the parties are unable to
agree on the proportionate shares of culpability, the issue will be determined
in accordance with Article XIX (Arbitration).
ARTICLE XV
INSPECTION OF RECORDS
Either company, their respective employees or authorized representatives, may
audit, inspect and examine, during regular business hours, at the home office of
either company, any and all books, records, statements, correspondence, reports,
other documents that relate to the Reinsurance under this Agreement. The audited
party agrees to provide a reasonable work space for such audit, inspection or
examination and to cooperate fully and to faithfully disclose the existence of
and produce any and all necessary and reasonable materials requested by such
auditors, investigators, or examiners. The company performing a routine audit
shall contact the other party to determine a reasonable timeframe for the audit.
The expense of the respective party's employee(s) or authorized
representative(s) engaged in such activities will be borne solely by such party.
ARTICLE XVI
DAC TAX
SECTION 1.848-2(g) (8) ELECTION

pursuant to Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations (the
"Treasury Regulations")
Single Life Excess Pool

issued under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") whereby:
(i) The party with the net positive consideration for this Agreement for
each taxable year will capitalize specified policy acquisition
expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard to the
general deductions limitation of Code section 848(c)(1); and
(ii) Both parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount
of net consideration under this Agreement each year to ensure
consistency.
B. As used in this Article XVI, the terms "net positive consideration",
"specified policy acquisition expenses" and "general deductions limitation"
are defined by reference to Treasury Regulations Section 1.848-2 and Code
Section 848 as of November 1, 2002.
C. The method and timing of the exchange of this information shall be as
follows:
(i) The Ceding Company shall submit a schedule to the Reinsurer by May 1
of each year of its calculation of the net consideration for the
preceding calendar year.
(ii) The Reinsurer shall, in turn, complete the schedule by indicating
acceptance of the Ceding Company's calculation of net consideration
or shall note in writing any discrepancies. The Reinsurer shall
return the completed schedule to the Ceding Company by June 1 of
each year.
(iii) If there are any discrepancies between the Ceding Company's and the
Reinsurer's calculation of net consideration, the parties shall act
in good faith to resolve these discrepancies in a manner that is
acceptable to both parties by July 1 of each year.
(iv) Each party shall attach the final schedule to their respective U.S.
federal income tax returns for each taxable year in which
consideration is transferred under this Agreement. The schedule
shall identify this Agreement and restate the election described in
this Article XVI and shall be signed by both parties.
D. This DAC Tax Election shall be effective on the effective date of this
Agreement and shall be effective for all years for which this Agreement
remains in effect.
E. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer each represent and warrant that they
are subject to U.S. taxation under either the provisions of Subchapter L of
Chapter 1 or Subpart F of Part III of Subchapter N of Chapter 1 of the Code.
F. Should the Reinsurer breach the representation and warranty of tax status
set forth in this Article of this Agreement, the Reinsurer agrees to
indemnify and hold the Ceding Company, its directors, officers, employees,
agents, and shareholders harmless from any liability and all liability,
loss, damages, fines, penalties, interest, and reasonable attorney's fees,
which the Ceding Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and
shareholders may sustain by reason of such breach.

ARTICLE XVII
INSOLVENCY
A. Insolvency of the Reinsurer
If the Reinsurer becomes insolvent as determined by the Regulatory Agency
responsible for such determination, amounts due the Reinsurer will be paid net
of the terms of this Agreement and directly to the liquidator, receiver, or
statutory successor without decrease. In addition, upon the Reinsurer's
insolvency, the Ceding Company may cancel this Agreement for future new business
as described in Article XX. All reinsurance ceded under this Agreement may be
recaptured by the Ceding Company as of the date the Reinsurer fails to meet its
obligations under this Agreement.
B. Insolvency of the Ceding Company
If the Ceding Company should become insolvent, as determined by the Regulatory
Agency responsible for such determination, all reinsurance under this Agreement
covering risks ceded by the Ceding Company will be payable by the Reinsurer
directly to the Ceding Company's liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, on
the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company under the policy or policies
reinsured and without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding
Company. However, in the event of such insolvency, the liquidator, receiver, or
statutory successor will give written notice of a pending claim against the
Ceding Company on the reinsured policy. It will do so within a reasonable time
after the claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. During the pendency of
such a claim, the Reinsurer may investigate the claim and may, at its own
expense, interpose any defense or defenses which it may deem available to the
insolvent Ceding Company, its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor, in
the proceedings where the claim is to be adjudicated.
The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable against the
insolvent Ceding Company, subject to court approval, as part of the expense of
liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may
accrue to the insolvent Ceding Company solely as a result of the defense
undertaken by the Reinsurer.
Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in
interest elects to interpose defense to the claim, the expense will be
apportioned in accord with the terms of the reinsurance agreement as though the
expense had been incurred by the insolvent Ceding Company.
ARTICLE XVIII
OFFSET
Any undisputed debts or credits, matured or unmatured, liquidated or
unliquidated, regardless of when they arose or were incurred, in favor of or
against either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer with respect to this
Agreement, shall be offset, and only the balance shall be allowed or paid. In
the event the Ceding Company becomes insolvent, offsets shall be allowed in
accordance with applicable law.

ARTICLE XIX
ARBITRATION
The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer mutually understand and agree that the
wording and interpretation of this Agreement is based on the usual customs and
practice of the insurance and reinsurance industry. While both the Ceding
Company and the Reinsurer agree to act in good faith in its dealings with each
other, it is understood and recognized that situations may arise in which they
cannot reach an agreement.
In the event that any dispute cannot be resolved to mutual satisfaction, the
dispute will first be subject to good-faith negotiation as described below in an
attempt to resolve the dispute without the need to institute formal arbitration
proceedings.
Within (10) ten days after one of the parties has given the other the first
written notification of the specific dispute, each of the parties will appoint a
designated officer to attempt to resolve the dispute. The officers will meet at
a mutually agreeable location as early as possible and as often as necessary, in
order to gather and furnish the other with all appropriate and relevant
information concerning the dispute. The officers will discuss the problem and
will negotiate in good faith without the necessity of any formal arbitration
proceedings. During the negotiation process, all reasonable requests made by one
officer to the other for information will be honored. The designated officers
will decide the specific format for such discussions.
If the officers cannot resolve the dispute within (30) thirty days of their
first meeting, both parties agree that they will submit the dispute to formal
arbitration. However, the parties may agree in writing to extend the negotiation
period for an additional (30) thirty days.
No later than (15) fifteen days after the final negotiation meeting, the
officers taking part in the negotiation will give both the Ceding Company and
the Reinsurer written confirmation that they are unable to resolve the dispute
and that they recommend establishment of formal arbitration.
An arbitration panel consisting of (3) three past or present officers of life
insurance or life reinsurance companies not affiliated with either of the
parties in any way will settle the dispute. Each party will appoint one
arbitrator and the two will select a third. If the two arbitrators cannot agree
on the choice of a third within (30) thirty days following their appointment,
each arbitrator shall nominate three candidates within (10) ten days thereafter,
two of whom the other shall decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing
lots.
The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall bear the expense of its own
arbitrator and shall jointly bear with the other the expense of the third
arbitrator. In the absence of a decision to the contrary by the arbitration
panel, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall jointly share in all other
costs of the arbitration.
The arbitration proceedings will be conducted according to the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of XXXXX-US, which are in effect at the time the arbitration
begins.
The arbitration will take place in Hartford, Connecticut unless the parties
mutually agree otherwise.
Within (60) sixty days after the beginning of the arbitration proceedings the
arbitrators will issue a written decision on the dispute and a statement of any
award to be paid as a result. The
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto
18
decision will be based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as
the usual customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry,
rather than on strict interpretation of the law. The decision will be final and
binding on both the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer and there will be no
further appeal.
The parties may mutually agree to extend any of the negotiation or arbitration
periods shown in this Article.
Unless otherwise decided by the arbitrators, the parties will share in their
proportion of all expenses resulting from the arbitration, including the fees
and expenses for the arbitrators, except that each party will be responsible for
its own attorneys' fees.
ARTICLE XX
TERMINATION
A. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer may terminate this Agreement as it
applies to the new business of each by giving (90) ninety days' written notice
of termination. The day the notice is deposited in the mail addressed to the
Home Office, or to an Officer of each party, will be the first day of the (90)
ninety-day period. In addition, this Agreement may be terminated immediately for
the acceptance of new reinsurance by either party if one of the parties becomes
insolvent as described in Article XVII.
B. During the (90) ninety-day period, this Agreement will continue to be in
force between the terminating parties.
C. After termination, the terminating parties shall remain liable under the
terms of this Agreement for all Automatic and Facultative Reinsurance that
becomes effective prior to termination of this Agreement. After termination, the
Reinsurer shall be liable for all Automatic and Facultative Reinsurance that has
an application date on or before the effective date of the termination.
ARTICLE XXI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Entire Contract
This Agreement with any attached Schedules and Exhibits shall constitute the
entire contract between the parties with respect to the business being reinsured
hereunder and there are no understandings between the parties other than as
expressed herein.
B. Modifications
Any modification or change to the provisions of this Agreement shall be null and
void unless set forth in a written amendment to the Agreement which is signed by
all parties to the amendment.
C. Severability
In the event that any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held by any
court,
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto
19
arbitrator, or administrative agency to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
all of the other terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect to
the extent that their continuance is practicable and consistent with the
original intent of the parties. In addition, if any provision or term is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will attempt in good faith to
renegotiate the Agreement to carry out the original intent of the parties.
D. Survival
All provisions of this Agreement shall survive its termination to the extent
necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to ascertain and
enforce the parties' rights or obligations hereunder existing at the time of
termination.
E. Non-Waiver
No waiver by either party of any violation or default by the other party in the
performance of any promise, term or condition of this Agreement shall be
construed to be a waiver by such party of any other or subsequent default in
performance of the same or any other promise, term or 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 part of this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver by such party of its right to do so, nor shall it be deemed
to be an act of ratification or consent.
F. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Connecticut.
G. Assignment
Neither party may assign any of its rights, duties or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.
H. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original.
I. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or non-performance of any covenant
contained herein nor shall any such delay or non-performance constitute a
default hereunder, or give rise to any liability for damages if such delay or
non-performance is caused by an event of "force majeure." As used herein, the
term "Force Majeure," means an event, explosion, action of the elements, strike
or other labor relations problem, restriction or restraint imposed by law, rule
or regulation of any public authority, whether federal, state or local, and
whether civil or military, act of any military authority, interruption of
transportation facilities or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable
control of such party and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence such
party is unable to prevent. The existence of any event of Force Majeure shall
extend the term of
Single Life Excess Pool
Between HLIC and Transamerica
Effective 11/01/2002 Fac / 12/01/2002 Auto
20
performance on the part of such party to complete performance in the exercise of
reasonable diligence after the event of Force Majeure has been removed.
J. No Limitation on Disclosure of Tax Treatment
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as reasonably necessary
to comply with applicable securities laws, each party to this Agreement (and
each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may consult any tax
advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment or tax structure of the
transaction (the "Tax Transaction"), and disclose to any and all persons,
without limitation of any kind, the Tax Treatment and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party
relating to the Tax Treatment. The permission to disclose the Tax Treatment is
limited to any facts relevant to the U.S. federal income Tax Treatment and does
not include information relating to the identity of the parties.
ARTICLE XXII
CONFIDENTIALITY
As used herein, "Confidential Information" means all of the confidential,
proprietary, or trade secret information, including, but not limited to, all
information on the Ceding Company's customers and claimants and other
information the Ceding Company discloses to the Reinsurer or the Reinsurer
discloses to the Ceding Company. The term "Confidential Information" does not
include any information which (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is
generally available to and known by the public other than by way of a wrongful
disclosure by a party or its Representatives; (ii) was available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the parties hereto or their
Representatives, provided that such source is not and was not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with a party hereto; or (iii) was independently
developed without violating any obligations under this Agreement and without the
use of any Confidential Information.
The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall maintain the confidentiality of the
other party's Confidential Information, shall use it only for purposes for which
it was disclosed and shall not disclose it to any other person except to
employees, agents, and other persons who need to know such Confidential
Information to carry out the purposes for which it was disclosed and who agree
to maintain the confidentiality of the information provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the parties will
not be prohibited from disclosing confidential information as might be necessary
for purposes of retrocession of the reinsured business, during the course of
external audits or as required or permitted by applicable law or court order.

Children's Life Insurance Rider: Provides additional term coverage for a child.
No separate reinsurance benefits are associated with this rider.
Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider: This rider guarantees that the policy will
not lapse, regardless of investment performance, provided cumulative premiums
paid less indebtedness less withdrawals are greater than or equal to the
cumulative no lapse guarantee premiums. There is a life time option and a
limited term option. The limited term option is the lesser of 20 years or to

will not exceed those provided by the rider. This rider is currently available
in only a few states and on variable life policy forms where the face amount is
at least thirty million dollars.

ARTICLE II
REINSURANCE COVERAGE
Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to insurance issued by the Ceding
Company on the Plans of Insurance shown in Schedule A. Such Plans of Insurance
shall be reinsured with the Reinsurer on an automatic basis, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section A below, or on a facultative basis, subject to
the requirements set forth in Section B below, or on a facultative obligatory
basis, subject to the requirements set forth in Section C below. The
specifications for all reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule
B.
A Requirements for Automatic Reinsurance
For risks which meet the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance as set forth
below, the Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance pool whereby the
Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the insurance risks as
indicated in Schedule B. The requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are as
follows:
1. The individual risk must be a resident of the United States or
Canada at the time of application with the exception of the Foreign
National Program as specified in Schedule C.
2. The individual risk must be underwritten according to the Ceding
Company's standard underwriting practices and guidelines. Any risk
falling into the category of special underwriting programs will be
excluded from this Agreement unless previously agreed to by the
Reinsurer via a written amendment. Any proposed changes to the
Ceding Company's standard underwriting practices or guidelines shall
be submitted to the Reinsurer for written approval prior to
implementation that impact business reinsured under this Agreement
(i.e. underwriting manuals, age and amount underwriting cards, and
special underwriting programs).
3. Any new policy on the life of an insured who was previously
submitted to the Reinsurer on a facultative basis will qualify for
Automatic Reinsurance if at least 3 years have elapsed since the
previous policy was submitted on a facultative basis by the Ceding
Company to the Reinsurer or any other current pool reinsurer under
this Agreement, unless the original reason for submitting
facultatively no longer applies (for example, with Jumbo policies,
then the three (3) year rule will not be enforced).
4. The maximum issue age will be 90.
5. As shown in Exhibit II, the mortality rating on each risk must not
exceed Table P.
6. The total face amount of insurance for the Plans of Insurance in
Schedule A to be reinsured on an automatic basis must not exceed the
Automatic Issue Limits and Automatic Binding Limits in Exhibit II.
7. The total amount of insurance issued and applied for in all
companies on each risk must not exceed the Jumbo Limits as stated in
Exhibit II.
8. The Ceding Company shall retain its maximum limit of retention for
the age and risk classification of the insured, as shown in Exhibit
II, either on previous
Single Life 12/01/2002 -- Amendment 5
Between HLIC and TFLIC
3
insurance or insurance currently applied for.
B Requirements for Facultative Reinsurance
1. If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met, but the
Ceding Company prefers to apply for Facultative Reinsurance with the
Reinsurer, or if the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are not
met and the Ceding Company applies for Facultative Reinsurance with
the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company must submit to the Reinsurer
all the papers, facsimiles, or sufficient evidence agreed upon
between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer relating to the
insurability of the individual life for Facultative Reinsurance.
2. For applications for Facultative Reinsurance, the Ceding Company
will send copies of all of the papers or facsimiles relating to the
insurability of the individual risk to the Reinsurer. After the
Reinsurer has examined the request, the Reinsurer will promptly
notify the Ceding Company of the underwriting offer subject to
additional requirements or the final underwriting offer. The final
underwriting offer on the individual risk will automatically
terminate upon the earlier of the withdrawal of the application or
(90) ninety days from the date of the final offer, unless coverage
is accepted or put in place earlier. This (90) day limitation will
be indicated by the Reinsurer on the final reinsurance offer.
3. Notwithstanding the above, if the requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance are met except that the face amount of reinsurance
applied for is greater than the Automatic Issue Limit, but does not
exceed the Automatic Processing Limit, then the Ceding Company will
submit to the Lead Reinsurer (as designated in Schedule B) all
papers relating to the insurability of the individual risk. The Lead
Reinsurer shall review the papers to determine if the risk should be
reinsured by the pool, and, if so, on what basis. The Lead Reinsurer
shall provide the Ceding Company with a response within 24 hours of
receipt of the papers. Approval of the Lead Reinsurer shall be
binding on all other pool members. This process shall be known as
Automatic Processing and subject to the limitations in Exhibit II.
C Requirements for Facultative Obligatory Reinsurance
The Reinsurer agrees to a facultative obligatory arrangement whereby the Ceding
Company may cede a risk to the Reinsurer and the Reinsurer agrees to accept the
risk using the Ceding Company's underwriting evaluation, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The requirements for Automatic Reinsurance specified in Article II
must be met with one exception. This exception is that the total
amount of insurance issued and applied for in all companies on each
risk has exceeded the Jumbo Limits set forth in Exhibit II.
2. The arrangement is available on all policy forms covered under this
Reinsurance Agreement.
3. The ceded risk is subject to the Facultative Obligatory Automatic
Binding Limits and the Facultative Obligatory Automatic Issue
Limits, as stated in Exhibit II. However, to the extent that the
Reinsurer has already filled its available capacity
Single Life 12/01/2002 -- Amendment 5
Between HLIC and TFLIC
4
on the risk, the Reinsurer may deny or reduce the requested capacity
by notifying the Ceding Company. In addition, the Reinsurer may
choose to provide Facultative Obligatory capacity greater than as
specified in Schedule B.
4. The Reinsurer will have a reasonable amount of time, but not to
exceed two (2) business days, to respond to the Ceding Company's
request for Facultative Obligatory risk.
D Basis of Reinsurance
Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on the basis as stated in Schedule B.
E Policy Forms
When requested, the Ceding Company will furnish the Reinsurer with a copy of
each policy, rider, rate book, and applicable sales or marketing material that

Children's Life Insurance Rider: Provides additional term coverage for a child.
No separate reinsurance benefits are associated with this rider.
Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider: This rider guarantees that the policy will
not lapse, regardless of investment performance, provided cumulative premiums
paid less indebtedness less withdrawals are greater than or equal to the
cumulative no lapse guarantee premiums. There is a lifetime option and a limited
term option. The limited term option is the lesser of 20 years or to attained
age 80 for issue ages 0 to 70 and the minimum of 10 years or to attained age 90

Maturity Date Extension Rider: When the policyholder reaches the maturity date
and has elected this rider, the death benefit is dropped to the account value,
no more monthly deductions are taken, interest is credited, no further premiums
are accepted, policy loans continue to accrue interest, and all other riders are
terminated.
Guaranteed COI Benefit Rider: This rider provides guaranteed cost of insurance
rates for the first 10 policy years. On each policy anniversary, we declare a
cost of insurance rate for a single policy year. This policy year is the policy
year 9 years from the then current policy anniversary. Thus the rider provides
that on any policy anniversary, cost of insurance rates over the next 10 years
will not exceed those provided by the rider. This rider is currently available
in only a few states and on variable life policy forms where the face amount is
at least thirty million dollars.

100% of their death benefit discounted with interest if the life expectancy is
12 months or less.

take monthly deductions out of a particular account in the policy.
Mortality and Expense Risk Rider: This rider guarantees that the mortality and
expense risk rate will be zero for years greater than and equal to 21.

Countries and Jurisdictions (Foreign Travel Exclusion Rider Exhibit II), or dies
as a direct or indirect result of an illness or injury sustained during such
travel, the death benefit proceeds will be limited to the policy's account
value, less any outstanding indebtedness.

four circumstances, the Ceding Company will retain up to its available retention
limits as specified by Retention Limit II in Exhibit II, provided the case would
otherwise meet the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance:

(up to the applicable Retention Limit II);
(3) Additional Automatic Issue capacity is needed which otherwise is limited

on the actual rate class indicated).
In circumstances (2) through (4) above, approval of each such case is required
by an underwriting director of the Ceding Company. Documentation of Retention

WHEREAS, the Reinsurer currently reinsures the Ceding Company's plans or

WHEREAS, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer wish to revise the maximum issue
age to 85; and
WHEREAS, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer wish to amend the Agreement to
provide that certain specified replacement business shall not be counted toward
the Jumbo Limit; and
WHEREAS, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer wish to amend the Agreement to
increase the Automatic Binding, Automatic Issue and Automatic Processing Limits
under the Retention Limit II in Exhibit II, originally described in Amendment
11.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer hereby agree to amend the
Agreement as follows:
- Article II, Section A, Paragraph 4, is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
4. The maximum issue age will be 85.
- Article II, Section A, Paragraph 7, is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
7. The total amount of insurance in force and applied for in all
companies on each risk must not exceed the applicable Jumbo Limit as
stated in Exhibit II. Any amounts of insurance being replaced by the
Ceding Company may be deducted from this total only under the
following conditions:
Single Life Treaty -- Effective 12/01/2002
Between HLIC and TFLIC
Amendment 13 -- Effective 02/11/2008
1
a. Existing permanent insurance is being replaced by the Ceding
Company, as part of a Section 1035 exchange, and the Ceding
Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment of the
insurance being replaced; or
b. An internal replacement is being made, where the Ceding Company is
replacing an in-force policy with a new policy of equal or greater
death benefit.
When the total amount of insurance in force and applied for, that is
to be compared with the applicable Jumbo Limit, is reduced due to the
above conditions, the Ceding Company assumes full responsibility to
effect the cancellation of coverage under the replaced insurance
concurrently with the commencement of coverage under the new policy.
If the cancellation does not occur in a timely manner and the failure
to cancel results in the new policy causing coverage to exceed the
applicable Jumbo Limit, then the Reinsurer may (when the Reinsurer
becomes aware of the Jumbo Limit violation) decline reinsurance on the
new policy during the period of time while both coverages are in
effect, by providing written notice to the Ceding Company. Once this
notice has been provided, the Reinsurer will have no liability for
reinsurance coverage on the new policy while both coverages are in
effect and shall refund to the Ceding Company all related Reinsurance
Premiums for the new policy. However, if reinsurance on the new policy
is declined for this reason and the cancellation of coverage under the
replaced insurance is later effected, then, upon receipt of the Ceding
Company's written notice to this effect, the Reinsurer will become
liable for reinsurance coverage on the new policy as of the effective
date of cancellation of coverage under the replaced policy, and
Reinsurance Premiums for the new policy will be payable.
For any Automatic case where total amount of insurance in force and
applied for exceeds [Redacted] the Ceding Company will notify the
Reinsurer of the case at time of issue or sooner if reasonably
possible.
- Exhibit II is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the attached revised
Exhibit II.
Except as herein amended, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and unchanged.

amount from the insured. (eff 5/1/2008) This rider is automatically added to
each policy at issue, and allows for policy surrender without the assessment of
surrender charges, providing the following conditions are met:
- There is no federal estate tax in effect during the year 2011; and
- The surrender request is received during the month of January 2011.
This rider will terminate at the sooner of:
- The termination date of the policy, or
- January 31, 2011.
Level Compensation Endorsement: Surrender charges are not assessed for a full
surrender during the first three policy years. There is no charge for this
rider.
Maturity Date Extension Rider: When the policyholder reaches the maturity date
and has elected this rider, the death benefit is dropped to the account value,
no more monthly deductions are taken, interest is credited, no further premiums
are accepted, policy loans continue to accrue interest, and all other riders are
terminated.
Guaranteed COI Benefit Rider: This rider provides guaranteed cost of insurance
rates for the first 10 policy years. On each policy anniversary, we declare a
cost of insurance rate for a single policy year. This policy year is the policy
year 9 years from the then current policy anniversary. Thus the rider provides
that on any policy anniversary, cost of insurance rates over the next 10 years
will not exceed those provided by the rider. This rider is currently available
in only a few states and on variable life policy forms where the face amount is
at least thirty million dollars.
Accelerated Death Benefit Rider: With this rider, the policyholder can receive
up to 100% of their death benefit discounted with interest if the life
expectancy is 12 months or less.
Specify Monthly Deductions Rider: This rider allows the policyholder to specify
to take monthly deductions out of a particular account in the policy.
Mortality and Expense Risk Rider: This rider guarantees that the mortality and
expense risk rate will be zero for years greater than and equal to 21.
Policy Continuation Rider: This rider is automatically added to the policy at
issue. This rider is intended to prevent the lapse of highly loaned policies.
Foreign Travel Exclusion Rider: The rider is written such that if the insured
dies while traveling to, from, or in a country NOT listed on the List of
Countries and Jurisdictions (Foreign Travel Exclusion Rider Exhibit II), or dies
as a direct or indirect result of an illness or injury sustained during such
travel, the death benefit proceeds will be limited to the policy's account
value, less any outstanding indebtedness.

SCHEDULE A
PLANS COVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2008
Conversion Option Rider: During certain policy years prior to the insured's
attained age 70, the policy may be converted, without evidence of insurability,
to any permanent plan of life insurance the Ceding Company then makes available
for conversions of this policy.
Guaranteed Issue Option Rider: This rider allows the policyholder to increase
the face amount of converted Stag Whole Life policies being converted via the
Conversion Option Rider by up to twice their original face amount.
Liquidity Enhancement Rider: This rider shortens the surrender charge period on
Stag Whole Life policies from 9 to 7 years. This rider results in policies'
credited interest rate and commissions being reduced.
Overloan Protection Rider: This rider is automatically added to the policy at
issue. This rider protects a policy from lapsing due to overloan.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) Rider: This rider provides that
at the end of the GMAB Guarantee Period (usually 20 years), the policy account
value will be increased, if necessary, to equal the sum of gross premiums paid
to that date. There is a small monthly charge to the policyholder, and a minimum
cumulative premium requirement to keep the rider in force.
Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: This rider is similar to GMAB rider with the same
Guarantee Period, a monthly charge, and a cumulative premium requirement. This
rider provides that at the end of the Guarantee Period, policyholder may elect
to change coverage to paid-up life insurance using account value as a 5% Net
Single Premium to determine amount of coverage; however, amount of coverage will
never be lower than the sum of gross premiums paid to that date. Once elected,
premiums are no longer accepted.

ARTICLE I
THE AGREEMENT
A. The Agreement and Parties to the Agreement
This is a monthly renewable term agreement for indemnity life reinsurance (the
"Agreement") solely between Hartford Life Insurance Company, a
Connecticut
corporation ("Ceding Company"), and Transamerica Financial Life Insurance
Company, a New York corporation ("Reinsurer"). The Ceding Company and the
Reinsurer are each referred to individually as a "Party," and collectively as
the "Parties," to this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer and
their respective successors and assignees.
The acceptance of risks under this Agreement will create no right or legal
relationship between the Reinsurer and the insured, owner, beneficiary, or
assignee of any insurance policy or other contract of the Ceding Company.
B. Complete and Entire Agreement
This Agreement, which includes all Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and
any amendments entered into hereafter, constitutes the entire agreement of the
Parties pertaining to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. This
Agreement supersedes and replaces all oral and written agreements previously
made or existing by and between the Parties or their representatives with regard
to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by written amendment,
signed by duly authorized officers of each Party.
Routine communications are those communications contemplated by this Agreement
that are not intended to change any of its risk transfer characteristics. Such
communications may include, but are not limited to, reinsurance reporting and
premium administration, underwriting review, claim submission and review,
participation in claim litigation and settlements, audit reviews, and the
resolution of disputes by arbitration or court proceedings. These communications
serve to clarify the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement and should
not be construed as modifications of this Agreement. Any modifications of this
Agreement shall be effected only by written amendment as provided for above.

ARTICLE III
REINSURANCE COVERAGE
Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to those Plans of Insurance and
Riders set forth in Schedule A that also fall within a category of policies
eligible for reinsurance under this Agreement as described in Schedule F. Such
reinsurance shall be either on an automatic basis, subject to the requirements
set forth in Section A below, on an automatic processing basis, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section B below, or on a facultative basis, subject to
the requirements set forth in Section C below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
reinsurance coverage on a facultative basis may also apply on plans of insurance
not listed in Schedule A, with the agreement of the Reinsurer. The
specifications for all reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule
B.
A. Automatic Reinsurance
For each risk that meets the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance as set forth
below, the Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance pool whereby the
Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the risk as indicated in
Schedule B ("Automatic Pool"). The requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are as
follows:
1. Each life, at the time of application, must:
a. have been a legal resident of the United States or Canada for at
least six months;
b. be a citizen of the United States or Canada; or
c. qualify for the Foreign National Underwriting Program as specified
in Schedule C.
2. Each risk must be underwritten according to the Ceding Company's Standard
Underwriting Practices and Guidelines or one of the special underwriting
programs. The Ceding Company's Standard Underwriting Practices and Guidelines as
of the Effective Date are described in Schedule E, and the Ceding Company's
special underwriting programs as of the Effective Date are described in Schedule
C and Schedule D. Changes to such documents will be handled in accordance with
Section XXII.M.
If the Ceding Company would like to offer coverage at a risk class more
favorable than the True Assessed Risk Class, the Ceding Company may:
a. Reinsure the risk automatically under this Agreement with
Reinsurance Premiums based on the True Assessed Risk Class; or
b. Seek to reinsure the risk facultatively under this Agreement at rates
more favorable than the True Assessed Risk Class; or
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
4
c. Decide not to reinsure the risk under this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, "True Assessed Risk Class" shall mean the risk
class assessed by the Ceding Company prior to any adjustments made as a result
of the Ceding Company's Enhanced Standard or similar special underwriting
program.
3. If any risk on the life of a proposed insured was previously submitted by
the Ceding Company on a facultative basis to the Reinsurer or to any other
reinsurer, at least three (3) years must have elapsed since that previous risk
was submitted facultatively, unless the original reason for submitting
facultatively no longer applies.
4. The maximum issue age for each life is 85. For Last Survivor policies, the
minimum issue age is 18, for all other policies, the minimum age is 0.
5. The mortality rating on each life does not exceed Table P. However, for Last
Survivor policies, one life may be uninsurable if the other life does not exceed
Table F.
6. The total amount of risk on that life to be reinsured in the Automatic Pool
and under any other individual life reinsurance agreement with any reinsurer
does not exceed the Automatic Binding Limit for that life shown in Exhibit II.
7. For any Excess Risk, the total amount of risk on that life in force and
applied for in all companies must not exceed the Jumbo Limit for that life shown
in Exhibit II. (For Last Survivor risks, see the Last Survivor Limits and
Retention Worksheet in Exhibit II.) Any amounts of risk being replaced by the
Ceding Company may be deducted from this total amount of risk only under the
following conditions:
a. Existing permanent insurance is being replaced by the Ceding
Company, with or without a Section 1035 exchange, and the Ceding
Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment of the
insurance being replaced; or
b. Existing term insurance is being replaced by the Ceding Company, and
the Ceding Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment
of the insurance being replaced; or
c. An internal replacement is being made, where the Ceding Company is
replacing an in-force policy with a new policy of equal or greater
death benefit.
When the total amount in force and applied for, that is to be compared with the
applicable Jumbo Limit, is reduced due to the above conditions, the Ceding
Company assumes full responsibility to effect the cancellation of life insurance
coverage under the replaced insurance concurrently with the commencement of
coverage under the new policy. If the cancellation does not occur in a timely
manner and the failure to cancel results in the new policy causing reinsurance
coverage to exceed the applicable Jumbo Limit, then the Reinsurer may (when the
Reinsurer becomes aware of the Jumbo Limit violation) decline reinsurance
coverage on the new policy during the period of time while both policy coverages
are in effect, by written notice to the Ceding Company. Once this notice has
been given, the Reinsurer will have no liability for reinsurance coverage on the
new policy while both policy coverages are in effect and shall refund to the
Ceding Company all related Reinsurance Premiums for the new policy. However, if
reinsurance coverage on the
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
5
new policy is declined for this reason and the cancellation of life insurance
coverage under the replaced insurance is later effected, then, upon receipt of
the Ceding Company's written notice to this effect, the Reinsurer will again
become liable for reinsurance coverage on the new policy as of the effective
date of cancellation of coverage under the replaced policy, and Reinsurance
Premiums for the new policy will again be payable.
8. If all the other requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met and the life
is a player or coach on a team in the National Hockey League, the National
Football League, the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball,
and:
a. The risk is not an Excess Risk, then the Ceding Company shall notify
the Reinsurer of this fact at the time of issue of the risk; or
b. The risk is an Excess Risk, then, prior to ceding the risk
automatically under this Agreement, the Ceding Company must confirm
the Reinsurer's available capacity for that risk. The Ceding Company,
by telephone call or electronic mail, shall: (1) notify the
Reinsurer's Chief Underwriter, or designee, of the life's name, date
of birth, sport and team affiliation, the total life insurance in
force and to be placed on the life, and the amount of new reinsurance
coverage required from the Reinsurer; and (2) confirm that an
application for insurance on the life has been completed. The
Reinsurer shall endeavor to inform the Ceding Company of its
available capacity for the risk within two business days after such
notification and confirmation. After the Reinsurer has advised the
Ceding Company of the amount of its available capacity, the Ceding
Company may then cede to the Reinsurer no more than that amount on an
automatic basis under this Agreement.
9. The Ceding Company, or one of its affiliates, shall retain its share of each
risk on a life, as described in this Agreement and in any other life reinsurance
agreement applicable to risk on that life. However, the Ceding Company reserves
the right to separately reinsure any amount of the retained risk on a life
reinsured under this Agreement with these conditions:
a. This right, as it pertains to such lives, applies only to groups of
risks defined as cohorts of risks reinsured for at least five (5)
years and issued either during a continuous period (such as one or
more years) or under one or more Plans of Insurance shown in
Schedule A, and does not apply to individual lives or to small,
non-homogeneous groups of risks;
b.
c. Any amounts of retention separately reinsured in this manner shall
not reduce the amount of the Ceding Company's retention on that
life for the purpose of any other terms of this Agreement.
B. Automatic Processing
If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met for a life except for the
requirement stated above in Section A.6, but the total amount of risk on that
life to be reinsured in the Automatic Pool and under any other individual life
reinsurance agreement with any reinsurer
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
6
does not exceed the Automatic Processing Limit for that life shown in Exhibit
II, then the Ceding Company may submit to the Lead Reinsurer (designated in
Schedule B) all information relating to the insurability of that life. For Last
Survivor policies where one life is deemed uninsurable, only the information for
the other life needs to be submitted.
The Lead Reinsurer shall review the submitted information to determine if the
life should be reinsured by the Automatic Pool and, if so, on what basis. The
Lead Reinsurer shall endeavor to provide the Ceding Company with a response
within 72 hours of receipt of such information. Approval by the Lead Reinsurer
shall be binding on all other current Automatic Pool reinsurers. This process
shall be known as Automatic Processing and shall be subject to Exhibit II.
Hereinafter, all references to Automatic Reinsurance, coverage automatically
reinsured, and the Automatic Pool will include coverage reinsured through
Automatic Processing.
C. Facultative Reinsurance
If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are not met and the Ceding Company
applies for Facultative Reinsurance with the Reinsurer, or if the requirements
for Automatic Reinsurance are met but the Ceding Company prefers to apply for
Facultative Reinsurance with the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company shall submit
to the Reinsurer sufficient evidence agreed upon between the Ceding Company and
the Reinsurer, relating to the insurability of each life submitted for
Facultative Reinsurance. For Last Survivor policies where one life is deemed
uninsurable, only the information for the other life needs to be submitted.
The Reinsurer shall promptly notify the Ceding Company in writing of its
declination to offer, its underwriting offer subject to additional requirements,
or its final underwriting offer. The final underwriting offer will automatically
expire upon the earliest of: (1) the date the policy application is withdrawn;
(2) the expiration date specified in the final offer; (3) the date one hundred
twenty (120) days after the date of the final offer; and (4) the date the final
offer is accepted, provided such offer is accepted within the lifetime of the
proposed insured(s).
Once the Ceding Company has accepted the Reinsurer's final underwriting offer,
then Facultative Reinsurance for the risk under this Agreement will become
effective under this Agreement as described below in Article IV.C or Article
IV.E, as applicable.
ARTICLE IV
LIABILITY FOR REINSURANCE
A. The Reinsurer's liability for Automatic Reinsurance will begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability, but in no event prior to the
Effective Date.
B. The Reinsurer's liability for any risk reported as reinsured on an automatic
basis that did not meet the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance as specified
in Article III shall be limited to a refund of any net Reinsurance Premiums paid
under this Agreement with respect to such risk. Such refund shall be made
without interest.
C. The Reinsurer's liability under this Agreement for Facultative Reinsurance
on a risk:
1. Shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the accepted final
underwriting offer
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
7
for that risk; and
2. Shall begin simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability once:
a. The Reinsurer has made a written final underwriting offer to the
Ceding Company on its application for Facultative Reinsurance; and
b. The Ceding Company has accepted the Reinsurer's final underwriting
offer:
(1) While life insurance coverage (if any) is in effect under the
Ceding Company's Insurance Receipt, as provided below in Section
E; or
(2) Otherwise, by written acceptance provided to the Reinsurer.
However, the Reinsurer reserves the right to rescind its liability under this
Agreement for Facultative Reinsurance on such risk, by written notice to the
Ceding Company, if the Ceding Company has not, within 240 days after the date of
the final underwriting offer:
1. Reported the risk to the Reinsurer; or
2. Remitted the applicable first Reinsurance Premium for the risk.
D. In no event shall reinsurance be in force and binding if the issuance and
delivery of such insurance constituted the doing of business in a jurisdiction
in which the Ceding Company knowingly was not properly licensed.
E. The Reinsurer's liability for coverage under the Ceding Company's
conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement, whichever the Ceding
Company uses (a copy of which is included as Exhibit VI and, for the purpose of
this Section E, hereinafter called the "Insurance Receipt"), is limited to the
amount the Reinsurer would reinsure under this Agreement on an Automatic
Reinsurance basis (whether the risk qualifies for Automatic Reinsurance or not)
if the coverage under the policy applied for would have been approved and
issued, as limited by the terms of the Insurance Receipt, provided:
1. The Ceding Company has followed its normal cash-with-application procedures
for such coverage; and
2. The Ceding Company's original underwriting assessment for the risk was not a
decline (if it was a decline, the Reinsurer would have no liability for such
coverage except as described below in Paragraph 5); and
3. There is no coverage in effect on the life in the Automatic Pool through any
other Insurance Receipt having an effective date preceding, or the same as, the
effective date of such coverage; and
4. If such coverage is on a risk that also exceeds either the Automatic Binding
Limit or the Jumbo Limit for the risk as shown in Exhibit II, then the
Reinsurer's liability for such excess amount of coverage will be limited by the
Reinsurer's available capacity; and
5. If the Ceding Company has accepted any final underwriting offer(s) for
Facultative Reinsurance on the risk (whether such offer is made by the Reinsurer
as described above in Section III.C. or by any other reinsurer(s)), then the
Reinsurer's liability for
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
8
such coverage under the Insurance Receipt will be equal to:
a. The amount of coverage in effect under the terms of the Insurance
Receipt; multiplied by
b. The proportion equal to the amount of Facultative Reinsurance
included in the Reinsurer's final underwriting offer that is accepted
by the Ceding Company, divided by the total amount of the risk to be
issued by the Ceding Company.
In no event, however, will the Reinsurer have any liability under the
insurance receipt once the Reinsurer has notified the Ceding Company
in writing of its declination to offer Facultative Reinsurance
coverage, as described above in Article III.C.
The Reinsurer's liability for coverage under the Insurance Receipt
shall terminate simultaneously with the termination of the Ceding
Company's liability under the Insurance Receipt.
F. The Reinsurer's liability for reinsurance on each risk will terminate when
the Ceding Company's liability terminates, unless it terminates earlier as
specified otherwise in this Agreement.
G. The liability of each reinsurer in the Automatic Pool shall be separate and
not joint with the other pool reinsurers. In no way will the liability of the
Reinsurer be increased by reason of the inability of the Ceding Company to
collect from any other reinsurers, whether specific or general, any amounts
which may be due from them, whether such inability arises from insolvency of
such other reinsurers or otherwise.
ARTICLE V
UNDERWRITING REVIEW
X. Xxxxxxx of Underwriting Review
For new business written by the Ceding Company that meets the requirements for
Automatic Reinsurance, the Ceding Company intends to underwrite applications for
such business as if the business were to be fully retained by the Ceding
Company. Such business shall be underwritten according to the underwriting
practices and guidelines described in Schedules C, D, or E, as applicable.
The underwriting practices and professional judgment used by the Ceding Company
in arriving at a risk assessment may not agree entirely with the underwriting
practices customarily used by, or the professional judgment of, the Reinsurer
under similar circumstances.
It is the purpose of this review to:
1. Afford the Reinsurer a reasonable period of time to review the underwriting
practices used, and risk assessments made, by the Ceding Company on
automatically reinsured business; and
2. Settle on a risk assessment for a case that is mutually agreeable between
the
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
9
Parties and that shall be used to determine the Reinsurance Premiums for the
risk from the beginning of the reinsurance liability under this Agreement for
any such case reviewed by the Reinsurer within that period of time where the
underwriting practices used or risk assessment made by the Ceding Company differ
materially from the opinion of the Reinsurer.
It is NOT the purpose of this review, nor is it within the authority of the
Reinsurer under this Agreement, to deny reinsurance coverage on any
automatically reinsured business written by the Ceding Company due to a
difference of opinion over the risk assessment on a policy application.
B. Underwriting Review Process
1. This review shall only be available to the Reinsurer during the first
twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of any risk automatically
reinsured under this Agreement
2. For any risk reviewed during this period where the Reinsurer's opinion
differs materially from that of the Ceding Company, the Parties shall work
together in good faith to develop a mutually agreeable risk assessment to be
used to calculate the Reinsurance Premiums for that risk from the beginning of
the Reinsurer's liability for that risk under this Agreement
3. For any risk reviewed during this period where the Parties cannot mutually
agree on a risk assessment within a reasonable time period, the Parties shall
submit the risk for dispute resolution under Article XVIII.
4. This review shall not be available and the Reinsurer may not challenge any
risk assessments made by the Ceding Company after this twenty-four (24) month
period. However, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Reinsurer from
reviewing, at time of claim, all aspects of the underlying risk, including but
not limited to financial and medical underwriting, for the purpose of confirming
qualification of the risk for Automatic Reinsurance.
C. Ceding Company's Responsibilities to the Reinsurer for Underwriting Review
The Ceding Company shall provide to the Reinsurer all information in its
possession, reasonably requested by the Reinsurer that was used in underwriting
and assessing the risks for each qualifying case identified for review under
this Article.
This information to be provided to the Reinsurer may be transmitted using any
medium agreed upon by the Parties; a valid copy of the information shall satisfy
this purpose.
This information shall be delivered to the Reinsurer within thirty (30) calendar
days after the Ceding Company receives the request for the information, unless
an alternative delivery period is agreed upon by the Parties.

ARTICLE VI
REINSURANCE PREMIUMS
A. Computation
Reinsurance Premiums under this Agreement shall be calculated as described in
Exhibit I.
B. Timing
Reinsurance Premiums are payable each month of coverage for reinsured risks in
force at the end of the preceding month. For newly reinsured risks with a
reinsurance effective date during the current month, the Reinsurance Premium for
the first month of coverage will be payable in the next following monthly
statement.
C. Extended Policy Maturity
If the maturity date of a reinsured policy is extended in accordance with the
policy, the death benefit under the policy will continue to be payable as
provided in the policy, and the reinsurance under this Agreement will remain in
effect on the same terms as before the policy's original maturity date.
D. Unearned Reinsurance Premiums
The Reinsurer will refund to the Ceding Company all unearned Reinsurance
Premiums, less applicable allowances, arising from policy conversions, other
changes, and terminations described in Article X. If termination is due to
lapse, surrender or conversion, unearned Reinsurance Premium will be determined
as of the effective date of termination. If termination is due to death,
unearned Reinsurance Premium will be determined as of the date of death.
E. Guaranteed Rates
Although the Reinsurer anticipates continuing to accept Reinsurance Premium at
the current rate level, the Reinsurer reserves the right to increase the YRT
Reinsurance Rate Factors (described in Exhibit I) for any Plan of Insurance but
in no event will the increased annual YRT Reinsurance Premium Rate, as defined
in Exhibit I, for standard risks exceed the applicable annual rates in the
Valuation Mortality Table specified in Schedule A for that Plan of Insurance.
Such increased rates shall apply for policy years beginning during the fifth
calendar year after the calendar year during which the Ceding Company receives
written notice of the rate increase.
The Reinsurer and the Ceding Company shall then endeavor in good faith to
mutually agree on the amount of rate increase that shall apply to that specific
Plan of Insurance. If the Parties cannot agree on the amount of such rate
increase for a Plan of Insurance, then the Ceding Company reserves the right to
recapture the risks associated with such Plans of Insurance without fee, as of
the effective date of the rate increase. Written notice of such recapture shall
be provided to the Reinsurer no later than thirty (30) days following the
effective date of the rate increase.
F. Payment of Reinsurance Premiums
The Net Reinsurance Premium Balance payable each month equals the sum of the
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
11
Reinsurance Premiums described above in Section A, minus the sum of any unearned
Reinsurance Premiums described above in Section D. For any month, this net
balance may be positive (greater than zero) or negative.
Any positive Net Reinsurance Premium Balance for a month is payable to the
Reinsurer. The Ceding Company shall forward this balance to the Reinsurer by its
due date, which is thirty (30) days after the close of the calendar month.
The absolute value of any negative Net Reinsurance Premium Balance for a month
is payable to the Ceding Company. The Reinsurer shall forward this balance to
the Ceding Company by its due date, which is thirty (30) days after the Ceding
Company submits the statement for that month.
G. Overpayment of Reinsurance Premiums
If the Ceding Company overpays a Net Reinsurance Premium Balance and the
Reinsurer accepts the overpayment, the Reinsurer's acceptance of the overpayment
will not constitute or create an additional reinsurance liability, and it will
not result in any additional reinsurance. Instead, the Reinsurer shall be liable
to the Ceding Company for a credit in the amount of the overpayment without
interest.
H. Underpayment of Reinsurance Premiums
If the Ceding Company fails to make a full payment of the Net Reinsurance
Premium Balance, due to an Error defined in Article IX, the amount of
reinsurance coverage provided by the Reinsurer on the risks related to such
underpayment shall not be reduced. However, once the underpayment is discovered
by one Party and the other Party is notified of the underpayment, the Ceding
Company shall promptly pay to the Reinsurer the difference between the full
payment amount and the amount actually paid. If payment of the full amount of
the underpayment is not made to the Reinsurer within sixty (60) days after such
discovery, the underpayment shall be treated as delinquent premium and be
subject to the conditions listed below in Section I.
The Reinsurer reserves the right to charge the Ceding Company interest on the
amount of the underpayment, even if it becomes delinquent as described below in
Section I. Such interest will accrue from the due date of the underpaid Net
Reinsurance Premium Balance and be computed as described in Section XXII.P.
I. Termination of Reinsurance for Nonpayment of Reinsurance Premiums
If undisputed Reinsurance Premiums for one or more reinsured risks are
delinquent, the Reinsurer has the right to terminate its reinsurance liability
on those risks by giving the Ceding Company sixty (60) days advance written
notice of termination. This notice shall list the risks and the amount of the
delinquent Reinsurance Premium for each risk. If the delinquent Reinsurance
Premiums have not been paid to the Reinsurer as of the end of such notice
period, the Reinsurer's liability will terminate for the risks described in the
termination notice at the end of such notice period.
If the Reinsurer's liability on one or more of the Ceding Company's risks is
terminated because of nonpayment of Reinsurance Premiums, the Ceding Company
will continue to be liable to the Reinsurer after the termination for all unpaid
Reinsurance Premiums earned up to the date of such termination.
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
12
The Ceding Company shall not force termination under the provisions of this
Section I solely to avoid the recapture requirements or to transfer the block of
business reinsured to another reinsurer.
J. Reinstatement of Reinsurance Terminated for Nonpayment of Reinsurance
Premiums
The Ceding Company may reinstate reinsurance on risks terminated in accordance
with Section I within sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination by
paying the unpaid Reinsurance Premiums for the risks inforce prior to the
termination. However, the Reinsurer will not be liable for any claim incurred
between the date of termination and the date of reinstatement of the reinsurance
coverage. The effective date of reinstatement will be the date the required
unpaid Reinsurance Premiums are received by the Reinsurer.
ARTICLE VII
REINSURANCE REPORTING
A. Accounting Statements and Other Reports
Within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar month the Ceding
Company shall provide the Reinsurer an electronic accounting statement. The
Ceding Company shall also provide the Reinsurer with additional reports as
provided in Exhibit VII.
For Automatic and Facultative Reinsurance becoming effective during the calendar
month, the Ceding Company will notify the Reinsurer of such new reinsurance
business in the succeeding monthly report. However, the first three monthly
reports under this Agreement will be sent within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the due date of the first monthly report.
Additional reports reasonably requested by a Party will be provided by the other
Party in a timely manner.
B. Reporting Format and Medium
The information to be provided by the Ceding Company in these monthly reports to
the Reinsurer shall be in a format and be transmitted using a medium mutually
agreeable to the Parties. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the
information to be provided by the Ceding Company in these monthly reports to the
Reinsurer shall be on a self-administered reporting basis as set out in Exhibit
VII.
ARTICLE VIII
CREDIT FOR REINSURANCE
X. Xxxxxxxxxxx Credit
The Parties intend that the Ceding Company be entitled to take credit for the
reinsurance ceded under this Agreement in its statutory financial statements
filed in all jurisdictions in which the Ceding Company is licensed, accredited,
or otherwise authorized to transact business ("Reinsurance Credit"). The Parties
shall use best efforts to ensure that such entitlement shall become and remain
available to the Ceding Company throughout the
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
13
duration of this Agreement.
The amount of the Reinsurance Credit shall be determined by the Ceding Company
and shall include mortality risk reserves, unearned premium reserves, and
reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid losses for the reinsurance ceded
under this Agreement. Such amounts shall be calculated in accordance with
applicable accounting and valuation laws, regulations and actuarial guidelines
to which the Ceding Company is subject on each valuation date and shall take
into account the terms of this Agreement.
B. Reinsurer Representation
The Reinsurer represents to the Ceding Company that it was properly licensed or
accredited in all jurisdictions in which the Ceding Company is licensed,
accredited, or otherwise authorized to transact insurance business, so that the
Reinsurance Credit shall be allowed. The Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding
Company in accordance with Article XXIII, immediately upon learning of any
change in, or loss of, such licensing or accreditation.
C. Security for Reinsurance Credit
In the event the Ceding Company reasonably believes it will not be entitled to
take Reinsurance Credit as a result of a change to the Reinsurer's licensing or
accreditation, the Reinsurer shall establish and maintain the security, at its
sole expense, that is needed to allow the Ceding Company to continue to take
Reinsurance Credit and that meets all applicable laws and regulations regarding
Reinsurance Credit.
In the event the Ceding Company reasonably believes it will not be entitled to
take Reinsurance Credit as a result of a regulatory change or interpretation
outside of the Reinsurer's control, the Reinsurer shall establish and maintain
the security that is needed to allow the Ceding Company to continue to take
Reinsurance Credit and that meets all applicable laws and regulations regarding
Reinsurance Credit. In this event, the expense of establishing and maintaining
the security shall be shared equally by the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer.
If such security is required in either event, the Reinsurer shall establish a
trust or a letter of credit, satisfactory to the Ceding Company, in a form that
meets all applicable standards of law and regulation to entitle the Ceding
Company to claim such Reinsurance Credit. However, the Reinsurer may propose an
alternative option under which Reinsurance Credit shall be allowed the Ceding
Company, at the sole discretion and approval of the Ceding Company.
The Parties shall amend this Agreement, in accordance with Section I.B, to
reflect the establishment of such security or such approved alternative option
so that the Ceding Company shall continue to be entitled to take such
Reinsurance Credit.
If the Reinsurer fails to provide the Ceding Company with such security or
approved alternative option needed to continue to be entitled to take such
Reinsurance Credit for the business covered under this Agreement, the Ceding
Company may recapture the business covered under this Agreement, subject to the
terms of Article XVI. In no event shall recapture be construed to be the
exclusive remedy of the Ceding Company.

ARTICLE IX
ERRORS
Errors, omissions, oversights, delays or misunderstandings in the administration
of this Agreement (collectively, "Error") by either Party, shall, not invalidate
the reinsurance hereunder. As soon as reasonably possible after discovery,
notice shall be provided, the Error shall be rectified and both Parties shall be
restored, to the extent possible, to the position they would have occupied had
the Error not occurred.
However, if it is not reasonably possible to restore each Party to the position
it would have occupied if not for the Error, the Parties will endeavor in good
faith to promptly resolve the situation in a manner that is fair and reasonable,
and most closely approximates the intent of the Parties as evidenced by this
Agreement.
ARTICLE X
POLICY CONVERSIONS, OTHER CHANGES, AND TERMINATIONS
A. Conversions
A conversion is a policyholder's exercise of a contractual right to replace
in-force coverage with a new permanent policy without evidence of insurability.
Conversions from a policy reinsured under this Agreement will continue to be
reinsured under this Agreement as follows:
1. The converted coverage under the new policy will be reinsured with the
Reinsurer in the same proportion as was determined for the in-force coverage
converted; and
2. Reinsurance Premiums for such converted coverage shall be calculated on a
point-in-scale basis.
Conversions from a policy not reinsured under this Agreement shall not be
reinsured under this Agreement.
B. Increases and Decreases in Policy Face Amount
1. If the face amount of a policy reinsured under this Agreement increases and:
a. The increase is subject to full underwriting, then the provisions of
Article III shall apply to the increase in reinsurance and
Reinsurance Premiums for the increase shall be based on new-business
rates; or
b. The increase is not subject to full underwriting, and:
(1) The policy was ceded automatically, and:
(a) The face amount after the increase does not exceed the
applicable Automatic Issue Limit, then the Reinsurer will
accept the increase; or
(b) The increase does not meet the requirement above in (a), then
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
15
the increase shall be subject to the Reinsurer's consent; or
(2) The policy was ceded facultatively, then the increase shall be
subject to the Reinsurer's consent.
Reinsurance Premiums for increases not subject to full underwriting
shall be calculated on a point-in-scale basis.
c. For increases in accordance with B.1.b, the Ceding Company's
retention and the amount of risk ceded to the Reinsurer shall be
determined for the increase at the time the increase goes into
effect, as follows:
(1) For increases in accordance with B.1.b (1), in accordance with
Schedule B; or
(2) For increases in accordance with B.1.b (2), the Ceding Company's
retention and the amount of risk ceded to the Reinsurer shall be
determined by mutual agreement of the Parties.
2. If the face amount of a policy reinsured under this Agreement decreases and:
a. If the face amount of a policy that was previously increased is
subsequently decreased, the decrease will be applied first to the
increase with the latest effective date, and then to the increase
with the next earlier effective date, and so forth as necessary,
until applying any remaining decrease to the initial face amount of
the policy.
b. The Ceding Company's retention and the amount of risk ceded to the
Reinsurer shall be determined at the time the decrease goes into
effect, as follows:
(1) For decreases under policies ceded automatically, in accordance
with Schedule B; or
(2) For decreases under policies ceded facultatively, the amount of
the risk reinsured to the Reinsurer shall be reduced
proportionately.
C. Policy Exchanges and Other Changes
A policy exchange is a new policy replacing an existing policy where the new
policy is not fully underwritten. Exchanges from one single life policy
reinsured under this Agreement to a different single life policy will be
reinsured on a point-in-scale basis. Likewise, exchanges from one last survivor
policy reinsured under this Agreement to a different last survivor policy will
be reinsured on a point-in-scale basis.
Exchanges from a last survivor policy reinsured under this Agreement with the
Last Survivor Exchange Option Rider or Twenty-Four (24) Month Exchange Rider to
two single life policies will be reinsured, if both risks under the Last
Survivor policy were fully underwritten (and neither was deemed to be
uninsurable) and the total face amount of the two new Single Life policies does
not exceed the face amount of the Last Survivor policy. In this event, the new
Single Life policies shall be reinsured on a point-in-scale basis at the
applicable single life rates. For each new policy after the exchange, the
insurance will continue to be reinsured by the Reinsurer in the same proportions
as set at issue of the original coverage.
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC

If there is a contractual change in a policy reinsured under this Agreement that
is not subject to full underwriting, other than the changes described above in
Sections A and B, the insurance shall continue to be reinsured with the
Reinsurer in the same proportions as the original coverage and Reinsurance
Premiums for contractual changes shall be calculated on a point-in-scale basis.
The Ceding Company shall notify the Reinsurer of any such changes in policies
reinsured under this Agreement in its monthly reinsurance reports.
Exchanges made from a policy not reinsured under this Agreement shall not be
reinsured under this Agreement.
D. Policy Terminations and Lapses
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement terminates, the reinsurance for the
risk will terminate as of the effective date of policy termination. For a policy
terminated due to the expiry of any grace period for an unpaid amount, the
effective date of termination for such policy will be the date such unpaid
amount was first due.
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses to extended term insurance
under the terms of that policy, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured
policy will continue on the same basis as the original reinsurance until the
expiry of the extended term period.
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses to reduced paid-up insurance
under the terms of that policy, the amount of the corresponding reinsurance on
the reinsured policy will be reduced according to the terms of Section B.2.
If the Ceding Company allows a policy reinsured under this Agreement to remain
in force under its automatic premium loan provisions, the corresponding
reinsurance on the reinsured policy will continue unchanged and in force as long
as such provisions remain in effect, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.
E. Reduction in Retained Coverage on a Life
If any portion of the aggregate amount of insurance retained by the Ceding
Company or its affiliates on an individual life reduces or terminates, the
Ceding Company or its affiliates will recalculate its retention on any remaining
risk(s) in force on that life. The Ceding Company or its affiliates will not be
required to retain an amount in excess of its retention limit for the age,
mortality rating, and risk classification based on the applicable retention
limit that was in effect at the time of issue for any risk. Unless provided for
otherwise in the applicable reinsurance agreements, the Ceding Company or its
affiliates will first recalculate the retention on the risk(s) having the same
mortality rating as the terminated risk(s). Order of recalculation will
secondarily be determined by effective date of the risk, oldest first.
F. Multiple Reinsurers
If reinsurance of a risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, the Reinsurer's
percentage of any increased or reduced reinsurance will be the same as its
initial percentage of the reinsurance for that risk unless specified otherwise
in Schedule B or agreed upon by the Reinsurer.
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC

G. Mortality Rating Changes
On Facultative Reinsurance, if the Ceding Company wishes to reduce the mortality
rating or otherwise improve the risk class, such change shall be subject to the
Reinsurer's approval. On Automatic Reinsurance, the Reinsurer shall accept this
change if the change qualifies under the underwriting practices and guidelines
described in Schedules C, D, or E, as applicable.
H. Rescission of Policy Coverage Prior to Death Claim
If a misrepresentation, misstatement, or omission on an application results in
the Ceding Company's rescission of coverage, the Reinsurer shall refund to the
Ceding Company any Reinsurance Premiums it received on that coverage. This
refund shall be in lieu of any and all other reinsurance benefits payable on
that coverage under this Agreement. The Reinsurer shall also reimburse the
Ceding Company for its proportionate share of any non-routine expenses incurred
by the Ceding Company in connection with the rescission. Such non-routine
expenses shall include the costs of investigations and of obtaining financial
and medical reports; they would not include the compensation of salaried
officers and employees of the Ceding Company.
The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer in the event a rescission
is challenged by legal action. The Ceding Company shall also furnish to the
Reinsurer copies of all information related to such action.
Recognizing the urgent nature of these communications, within eight (8) business
days of receipt of such information, the Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding
Company in writing of the Reinsurer's decision whether or not it shall
participate in the defense of the rescission. If the Reinsurer does not respond
to the Ceding Company within such eight (8) business day period, the Reinsurer
will be deemed to have elected to participate in the defense of the rescission.
If the Reinsurer elects or is deemed to have elected to participate in the
defense of the rescission, the Reinsurer shall also reimburse the Ceding Company
for its proportionate share of court costs and legal expenses incurred by the
Ceding Company in connection with the defense of the rescission of coverage.
If a rescission of policy coverage is reversed and the policy coverage is
restored to in-force status, any related reinsurance coverage under this
Agreement shall also be restored upon the Ceding Company's payment to the
Reinsurer of all applicable Reinsurance Premiums.
ARTICLE XI
POLICY REINSTATEMENT
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses or terminates, and is later
reinstated under the Ceding Company's terms and rules, the Reinsurer will
reinstate the reinsurance as follows:
A. Procedure to Reinstate Reinsurance
If the policy being reinstated was reinsured on an automatic basis under this
Agreement, or if the policy being reinstated was reinsured on a facultative
basis under this Agreement and the reinstatement occurs less than ninety (90)
days after the policy has lapsed or
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
18
terminated, the reinsurance cession shall be automatically reinstated.
If the policy being reinstated was reinsured on a facultative basis under this
Agreement and the reinstatement occurs ninety (90) days or more after the policy
has lapsed or terminated, copies of the application for reinstatement, any
personal declaration or medical examination, and any other underwriting
documents that the Ceding Company routinely requires (collectively,
"Underwriting Information") shall be forwarded by the Ceding Company to the
Reinsurer, together with the request for reinstatement of the reinsurance. The
Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding Company promptly of its acceptance or
declination of the request for reinstatement.
The Reinsurer reserves the right to request any available Underwriting
Information on any reinstatement.
Reinsurance Premiums for a reinstated policy will be calculated on a
point-in-scale basis.
B. Cost to Reinstate Reinsurance
Upon reinstatement of reinsurance under this Article, the Ceding Company shall
pay the Reinsurer Reinsurance Premiums in the same manner as the Ceding Company
received corresponding policy charges under the policy for the period of lapse.
The Reinsurer reserves the right to charge the Ceding Company interest on such
Reinsurance Premiums in accordance with Section XXII.P.
C. Nonforfeiture Reinsurance Termination
If the Ceding Company reinstates a policy that is reinsured while under an
extended term or reduced paid-up nonforfeiture option, then reinsurance under
such nonforfeiture option will terminate upon policy reinstatement.
ARTICLE XII
CLAIMS
A. Liability for Claims
The Ceding Company is responsible for the settlement of claims on policies
reinsured under this Agreement. It is the Ceding Company's sole decision to
determine whether a claim is payable under a policy. The Ceding Company shall
operate in good faith and adjudicate claims on policies reinsured under this
Agreement as if there were no reinsurance. All claim settlements on policies
reinsured hereunder will be subject to the terms and conditions of the
particular policy, the applicable statutory requirements, and the standard claim
practices of the Ceding Company. The Ceding Company's decision to pay a claim,
provided the Ceding Company has complied with the terms of this Agreement, shall
be binding on the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for its portion
of the reinsurance on that risk, as described in Schedule B.
B. Notification of Claims
The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer when it is advised of a
death claim on coverage reinsured under this Agreement.
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC

C. Claim Payment
1. Proofs
If a death claim is made under a risk reinsured under this Agreement, the Ceding
Company shall provide the Reinsurer with copies of proof(s) of death of the
insured(s), proof of claim payment, and the claimant's statement (collectively
"Proofs"). Copies of claim files, underwriting files and other documents
relating to a claim payment under this Agreement shall be furnished to the
Reinsurer upon written request.
2. Payment of Reinsurance Proceeds
The Reinsurer shall pay the Ceding Company reinsurance proceeds on claims for
which it is liable, on claims made under policies eligible for reinsurance under
this Agreement. The due date for such payment is the date thirty (30) days after
the date that the Reinsurer has received the Proofs and other information
reasonably requested by the Reinsurer.
The Reinsurer shall also reimburse the Ceding Company for its proportionate
share of non-routine claims expenses (defined below in Section G) and any
interest paid by the Ceding Company on such claims, such proportion based on the
Reinsurer's proportionate share of the Total Net Amount at Risk of the coverage,
as defined in Schedule B. Interest paid by the Ceding Company on such claims
shall be in accordance with the policy provisions and applicable state
requirements.
Payment of reinsurance proceeds will be made to the Ceding Company in a single
sum, regardless of the Ceding Company's mode of settlement with the payee under
the policy.
3. Claim Balances in Default
If the Reinsurer is delinquent by more than thirty (30) days on an undisputed
amount due to the Ceding Company relating to a claim:
a. The Ceding Company shall have the right to charge interest on
delinquent amounts in accordance with Section XXII.P;
b. The Ceding Company shall have the right to offset such amount,
including any accrued interest charged by the Ceding Company, from
any amount due the Reinsurer in accordance with Article XVII; and
c. To the extent there is an insufficient balance from which to offset
such amounts, the Ceding Company shall have the right to recapture
the remaining reinsurance under this Agreement, as described in
Article XVI, provided the Ceding Company has given the Reinsurer
ninety (90) days advance written notice of its intent to recapture
and the Reinsurer has failed to pay the net amount due, including
any accrued interest charged by the Ceding Company, by the end of
such notice period. In no event shall recapture be construed to be
the exclusive remedy of the Ceding Company.

D. Contested Claims
1. The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer of its intent to
deny, reduce, compromise, contest, litigate, or assert defenses against
(collectively, "Contest") a claim on a risk reinsured under this Agreement. The
Ceding Company shall also furnish all information material to such action.
Recognizing the urgent nature of these communications, within eight (8) business
days of receipt of all such information (the "Contested Claim Review Period"),
the Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding Company in writing of the Reinsurer's
decision whether or not it shall participate in the Contest. If the Reinsurer
does not respond to the Ceding Company within the Contested Claim Review Period,
the Reinsurer will be deemed to have elected to participate in the Contest.
2. If the Reinsurer elects or is deemed to have elected to participate in the
Contest, then:
a. The Ceding Company will advise the Reinsurer of all significant
developments, including notice of legal proceedings initiated in
connection with the contested claim at reasonable intervals until
the claim is resolved;
b. The Reinsurer shall pay its proportionate share of the settlement of
the claim, such proportion based on the Reinsurer's proportionate
share of the Total Net Amount at Risk of the coverage, as defined in
Schedule B, and in accordance with Article XIII; and
c. The Reinsurer shall also share in the non-routine claims expenses
(defined below in Section G) and Extra-Contractual Obligations, as
defined in Article XIII, associated with the Contest in the same
proportion as stated above in Paragraph b.
3. If the Reinsurer declines to participate in the Contest of the claim, then:
a. The Reinsurer shall release all of its liability under this
Agreement for the claim by paying the Ceding Company the full amount
of its reinsurance coverage under this Agreement for the claim as
though there were no Contest and its proportionate share of
non-routine claims expenses (defined below in Section G) incurred to
the date on which the Reinsurer notifies the Ceding Company that it
declines to be a party to the action, in the same proportion as
stated above in Paragraph 2.b; and
b. The Reinsurer shall not share in any subsequent increase or decrease
in liability for the claim.
4. The Reinsurer will not recommend to the Ceding Company to contest a claim.
E. Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the amount of insurance provided by the policy or policies reinsured under
this Agreement is increased or decreased because of misstatement of age or sex
that is established after the death of the insured (or the second death in the
case of a last survivor policy), the Reinsurer will share with the Ceding
Company in this increase or decrease of insurance in proportion to the
Reinsurer's share of the Total Net Amount at Risk, as defined in Schedule B.
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
21
The amount will be adjusted from the inception of the policy, and any difference
in amounts due between the Parties under this Agreement will be settled without
interest. The Reinsurer's proportionate share will be equal to share of the
Total Net Amount at Risk of the increase or decrease, as defined in Schedule B.
F. Return of Premium for Misrepresentations and Suicides
1. If a misrepresentation, misstatement, or omission on an application, or the
death of an insured by suicide, results in the Ceding Company returning the
policy premiums (or monthly deductions) to the policy owner rather than paying
the death benefits under a risk reinsured under this Agreement, the Reinsurer
shall refund to the Ceding Company all of the Reinsurance Premiums it received
on that coverage without interest. This refund paid by the Reinsurer shall be in
lieu of any and all other reinsurance benefits payable on that risk under this
Agreement.
2. In addition, the Reinsurer shall pay its proportionate share of reasonable
third-party investigation and legal expenses connected with the Ceding Company's
decision to return the policy premiums (or monthly deductions) as described
above in Section F.1.
G. Claims Expenses
1. Routine Claims Expenses
The Ceding Company shall pay routine expenses incurred in connection with
settling claims. These expenses may include the compensation of agents and
employees, and the expense of routine investigations.
2. Non-Routine Claims Expenses
The Reinsurer will participate in non-routine claims expenses, defined as the
expenses incurred by the Ceding Company in connection with the Contest, or
potential Contest, of a claim. These non-routine claims expenses may include
court costs and investigation, autopsy and legal expenses; they would not
include the compensation of salaried officers and employees of the Ceding
Company. However, if the Reinsurer declines to participate in the Contest of a
claim as described above in Section D.3, the Reinsurer will not share in any
non-routine expenses for the claim that are incurred after the date of the
Reinsurer's release.
3. Claims expenses do not include expenses incurred by the Ceding Company as a
result of a dispute or contest arising out of conflicting claims of entitlement
to policy proceeds.
ARTICLE XIII
EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In no event will the Reinsurer have any liability for any Extra-Contractual
Obligations that are awarded against the Ceding Company as a result of acts,
omissions, or course of conduct committed solely by the Ceding Company with no
involvement of the Reinsurer in connection
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
22
with the business reinsured under this Agreement. The Reinsurer will, however,
to the extent permitted by law, pay its share of Extra-Contractual Obligations
awarded against the Ceding Company in connection with the business reinsured
under this Agreement if the Reinsurer agreed in writing to the act or course of
conduct of the Ceding Company that resulted in the assessment of such damages.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Extra-Contractual Obligations" shall mean
any punitive, exemplary, compensatory, consequential or other damages paid or
payable by the Ceding Company as a result of an action arising under, relating
to, or in connection with a Contest.

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer jointly agree to the DAC Tax Election
pursuant to Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations (the "Treasury
Regulations") issued under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). As used in this Article, the terms "net positive
consideration," "specified policy acquisition expenses," and "general deductions
limitation" are defined by reference to Treasury Regulations Section
1.848-2(g)(8) and Code Section 848 as of the Effective Date.
As part of this DAC Tax Election, both Parties agree:

each taxable year will capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses with
respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of
Code Section 848(c)(1);
B. To exchange information pertaining to the amount of net consideration under
this Agreement each year to ensure consistency; and
C. That the method and timing of the exchange of this information shall be as
follows:
1. The Ceding Company shall submit a schedule to the Reinsurer by May 1 of each
year with its calculation of the net consideration for the preceding calendar
year.
2. The Reinsurer shall, in turn, complete the schedule by indicating acceptance
of the Ceding Company's calculation of net consideration or shall note in
writing any discrepancies, and then return the completed schedule to the Ceding
Company by June 1 of each year.
3. If there are any discrepancies between the Ceding Company's and the
Reinsurer's calculations of net consideration, the Parties shall act in good
faith to resolve these discrepancies in a manner that is acceptable to both
Parties by July 1 of each year.
4. Each Party shall attach the final schedule to its respective U.S. federal
income tax return for each taxable year in which consideration is transferred
under this Agreement. The schedule shall identify this Agreement, shall restate
the election described in this Article, and shall be signed by a duly authorized
representative of each Party.

D. This DAC Tax Election shall be effective on the Effective Date of this
Agreement and shall be effective for all years for which this Agreement remains
in effect.
E. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer each represent and warrant that they
are subject to U.S. taxation under the provisions of either Subchapter L of
Chapter 1 or Subpart F of Part III of Subchapter N of Chapter 1 of the Code.
F. Should the Reinsurer breach the representation and warranty of tax status
set forth in this Article, the Reinsurer agrees to indemnify and hold the Ceding
Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and shareholders harmless
from any and all liability, loss, damages, fines, penalties, interest, and
reasonable attorney's fees that the Ceding Company, its directors, officers,
employees, agents, and shareholders may sustain by reason of such breach.
ARTICLE XV
INSOLVENCY
A. Insolvency of the Ceding Company
In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, as determined by the
regulatory agency responsible for such determination, all reinsurance will be
payable by the Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company
under policies reinsured under this Agreement directly to the liquidator,
receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding Company, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Ceding Company.
In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, the liquidator, receiver
or statutory successor will give written notice to the Reinsurer of all pending
claims against the Ceding Company on any policy reinsured under this Agreement
within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding.
While a claim is pending, the Reinsurer may investigate and interpose, at its
own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any
defense or defenses which it may deem available to the Ceding Company or its
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor.
The expenses incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable, subject to court
approval, against the Ceding Company as part of the expense of the insolvent the
Ceding Company 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 involved 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 this Agreement
as though such expense had been incurred by the Ceding Company.
B. Insolvency of the Reinsurer
In the event of Reinsurer's insolvency, as determined by the regulatory agency
responsible for such determination, the Ceding Company may recapture all of the
inforce policies reinsured under this Agreement by giving written notice to the
Reinsurer of its intent to do so. The effective date of recapture will be no
earlier than the effective date of the Reinsurer's insolvency.

ARTICLE XVI
RECAPTURE OF REINSURED BUSINESS
The Ceding Company has the right to recapture risks reinsured under this
Agreement as described under the following circumstances:
(1) If the Ceding Company does not agree with the rate increase on a Plan of
Insurance in accordance with Section VI.E;
(2) With sixty (60) days advance written notice to the Reinsurer, for risks
reinsured under this Agreement for at least twenty (20) years;
(3) If the Reinsurer fails to provide security in accordance with Section
VIII.C;
(4) If the Reinsurer is delinquent on payment of an undisputed net amount due
in accordance with Section XII.C.3; or
(5) If the Reinsurer is deemed insolvent, in accordance with Article XV.
In the event recapture is elected based on Section A (1) or (2) described above,
no recapture fees are due and no reserves will be transferred.
In the event recapture is based on any of the other circumstances described in
Section A above:
1. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall mutually agree upon the recapture
terms -- however, if no such agreement can be reached, an independent actuary
shall be hired to determine the value of the business to be recaptured. The
costs of the independent actuary will be shared equally between the Ceding
Company and the Reinsurer;
2. The value of the business to be recaptured will be based on reasonable
actuarial assumptions as to interest, mortality, and lapse rates; and
3. Other actuarial assumptions and considerations used to value the business to
be recaptured shall include, but not be limited to:
a. Projected future claims costs;
b. Projected future Reinsurance Premiums;
c. Statutory reserve requirements;
d. NAIC risk based capital and/or other capital measures, which are
reflective of statutory capital levels, that should be maintained for
an insurance company with financial strength ratings comparable to
those of the Ceding Company; and
e. Any other considerations considered relevant by the Parties or the
independent actuary.

ARTICLE XVII
OFFSET
Any undisputed debts or credits, in favor of or against either the Reinsurer or
the Ceding Company, with respect to this Agreement between the Parties, are
deemed mutual debts or credits and may be offset, and only the balance will be
allowed or paid provided the Party that seeks to avail itself of this right of
offset is not in breach of any provision of this Agreement.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of offset will not be
affected or diminished because of the insolvency of either Party.
ARTICLE XVIII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event that any dispute between the Parties under this Agreement cannot be
resolved to mutual satisfaction, the dispute will first be subject to good-faith
negotiation, as described below, in an attempt to resolve the dispute without
the need to institute formal arbitration proceedings.
Within ten (10) calendar days after one of the Parties has given the other the
first written notification of the specific dispute, each of the Parties will
appoint a designated officer to attempt to resolve the dispute. The designated
officers will meet at a mutually agreeable location as early as possible and as
often as necessary, in order to discuss the dispute and to negotiate in good
faith without the necessity of any formal arbitration proceedings. During the
negotiation process, all reasonable requests made by one officer to the other
for information will be honored. The designated officers will decide the
specific format for such discussions.
If the designated officers cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30)
calendar days of their first meeting, both Parties agree that they will submit
the dispute to formal arbitration. However, the Parties may agree in writing to
extend the negotiation period for an additional thirty (30) calendar days.
No later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the final negotiation meeting,
the designated officers taking part in the negotiation will give both Parties
written confirmation that they are unable to resolve the dispute, and that they
recommend establishment of formal arbitration in accordance with Article XIX.
ARTICLE XIX
ARBITRATION
It is the intention of the Parties that the customs and practices of the life
and health insurance and life and health reinsurance industries will be given
full effect in the operation and interpretation of this Agreement. The Parties
agree to act in all matters with good faith. However, if, in accordance with
Article XVIII, the Parties cannot mutually resolve a dispute that arises out of
or relates to this Agreement, the dispute will be decided through arbitration as
follows:
An arbitration panel consisting of three past or present officers of life and
health insurance or life and health reinsurance companies not affiliated with
either of the Parties in any way will settle the
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
26
dispute. Each Party will appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days
of the demand for formal arbitration and the two so appointed shall then appoint
the umpire. If either Party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within
the thirty (30) calendar days, the other Party may appoint the second
arbitrator. If the two arbitrators cannot agree on the umpire within thirty (30)
calendar days after both arbitrators have been appointed, each of the two
arbitrators shall nominate three individuals within ten (10) calendar days
thereafter. Each arbitrator shall then decline two of the nominations presented
by the other arbitrator. The umpire shall be chosen from the remaining two
nominations by drawing lots.
Within thirty (30) calendar days after the appointment of the umpire, the
arbitration panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery
procedures, and schedules for hearings. The arbitration shall take place at a
location determined by the arbitration panel and, insofar as the arbitration
panel looks to the substantive law, it shall consider the laws of the state of
Connecticut. The arbitration panel shall have the power to set all procedural
rules for the arbitration, including the discretion to make any order with
respect to pleadings, discovery, depositions, scheduling, the hearing, reception
of evidence and any other matter whatsoever relating to the conduct of the
arbitration.
Within sixty (60) calendar days after the beginning of the arbitration
proceedings the arbitration panel will issue a written, reasoned, decision on
the dispute and a statement of any award to be paid as a result. The decision
will be based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as the usual
customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry, rather than on
strict interpretation of the law. The decision will be final and binding on both
Parties and there will be no further appeal. Judgment upon the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
In the absence of a decision to the contrary by the arbitration panel, each
Party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including, but
not limited to, its appointed arbitrator's fees, outside attorney fees, witness
fees, expenses incurred in the taking or preservation of testimony, and other
related expenses.
The Parties shall jointly and equally bear the expense of the third arbitrator
and other costs directly attended to the arbitration proceeding, provided that
neither Party's liability for such costs shall ever exceed 50% of the total of
such costs, regardless of the other Party's failure to pay.
The Parties may mutually agree to extend any of the periods shown in this
Article.
ARTICLE XX
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR NEW BUSINESS
A. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, as it applies to the reinsurance
of new policies being issued by the Ceding Company:
(1) immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if that other Party
becomes insolvent as described in Article XV; or
(2) with ninety (90) days advance written notice to the other Party.
B. After termination of this Agreement for new business, the Parties shall
remain liable under the terms of this Agreement for:
(1) reinsurance of policies that becomes effective prior to such termination of
this
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008

27
Agreement;
(2) reinsurance of policies with an application date on or before the effective
date of termination; and
(3) reinsurance that becomes effective as a result of coverage changes
described in accordance with Article X.
C. The Ceding Company shall continue to cede, and the Reinsurer shall continue
to accept, any new business issued prior to the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XXI
CONFIDENTIALITY
During the course of performance under this Agreement, a Party (the "Owner") or
its agent may make available to the other Party (the "Recipient") or its agent
certain technical materials such as manuals, policyholder lists, data files and
the data contained therein, systems, forms, methods, processes and procedures,
and other information or data (collectively, "Proprietary Information") that is
proprietary or trade secret in nature. Proprietary Information shall
specifically exclude information that was previously known to the Recipient or
that is or was publicly disclosed to the Recipient by any party not known by the
Recipient to be under a duty to retain such information as confidential.
Each Party acknowledges that all Proprietary Information is offered for the sole
purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Further, each Party
agrees that the Owner is deemed to be the sole owner of such Proprietary
Information and that any use, furnishing, disclosure, dissemination,
publication, or revealing of Proprietary Information in any way by the Recipient
to any person, organization, firm or government agency contrary to applicable
law or to the terms of this Agreement, shall obligate the Recipient to indemnify
and hold the Owner harmless from any damages, litigation, liability, claimed
liability, claims, and expenses -- including reasonable attorneys' fees and
incidental expenses -- resulting from any such improper use, furnishing,
disclosure, or revealing of Owner's Proprietary Information, whether occurring
during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, except to the extent that any
such loss or damage was caused or contributed to by the Owner. The Ceding
Company acknowledges that the Reinsurer can aggregate the Ceding Company's
Proprietary Information with other companies reinsured with the Reinsurer as
long as the data cannot be identified as belonging to the Ceding Company.
The Parties shall hold all Proprietary Information in trust and confidence and
shall use Proprietary Information only for the purposes of this Agreement.
Unless required by applicable law, neither Party shall disclose any Proprietary
Information without the express written consent of the other Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may disclose Proprietary Information
to their Representatives who need such Proprietary Information to carry out the
purposes for which it was disclosed -- it being understood that the Party
disclosing the Proprietary Information shall inform its Representatives of the
confidential nature of the Proprietary Information, shall cause such
Representatives to observe the terms of this Agreement, and shall be liable to
the Owner for any breach of this Agreement by itself or by any of its
Representatives. The term "Representatives," as used in this Agreement, shall
mean a Party's directors, officers, employees, retrocessionaires, partners,
agents, other controlling persons, and professional advisors, including but not
limited to attorneys, accountants, actuaries, auditors and intermediaries.
In the event the Recipient or its Representative breaches this obligation, the
Owner shall have all
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
28
rights and remedies available under law and equity, including the right to
protect its Proprietary Information by injunction, without proving economic
loss, which the Parties acknowledge and concede is appropriate and necessary to
protect the value of the Owner's Proprietary Information.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as reasonably necessary
to comply with applicable securities laws, each Party (and each Representative
of such Party) may consult any tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax
treatment or tax structure of the transaction ("Tax Treatment"), and disclose to
any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax Treatment and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to such Party relating to the Tax Treatment. This permission to
disclose the Tax Treatment is limited to any facts relevant to the Tax Treatment
and does not include information relating to the identity of the Parties.
In the event that any Party is served with a subpoena, request for production of
documents, other legal process, or request by regulator or arbitration panel,
such Party shall immediately notify, and send a copy of such subpoena, other
legal process, or regulatory request to, the other Party so that the other Party
may reasonably determine whether any of its Proprietary Information may be
included in the data required to be produced. Such other Party may, at its own
expense, take such legal action as it deems necessary to preserve the
confidentiality of its Proprietary Information or may waive its rights to do so.
To the extent possible, Proprietary Information shall be promptly returned to
the Owner or destroyed, as the Owner may direct, upon the termination of this
Agreement or, with respect to any particular data files and data, on such
earlier date that the same are no longer required by Recipient in order to
continue to perform its obligations hereunder. The Recipient will not be
obligated to destroy any Proprietary Information that is retained for back-up or
archiving purposes, in accordance with a document retention policy, or that the
Recipient, in the opinion of counsel, is legally compelled to keep and store.
The Parties agree to immediately notify each other, in writing, of all
circumstances surrounding any known or potential access to, or possession of,
Proprietary Information by any person other than persons authorized by this
Agreement. Such notice shall be provided under Article XXIII and shall include,
but not be limited to, the name and address of each such unauthorized person.
This Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XXII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Policy Forms
When requested, the Ceding Company will furnish the Reinsurer with a sample copy
of each policy and rider form that applies to the Plans of Insurance to be
reinsured hereunder.
B. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared or found to be illegal,
invalid, unenforceable, or void, the Parties shall be relieved of their
obligations under such provision. The validity of the remaining provisions shall
not be affected. To the extent possible, the Parties shall work in good faith to
amend this Agreement to address such provision.

C. Survival
All provisions of this Agreement shall survive its termination to the extent
necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to ascertain and
enforce the Parties' rights or obligations hereunder existing at the time of its
termination.
D. Non-Waiver
No act, delay, omission, course of dealing or prior transaction by or between
the Parties to this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy
under this Agreement. No waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement
shall be construed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy
under this Agreement.
E. Currency
The Reinsurance Premiums and benefits payable under this Agreement will be
payable in United States Dollars.
F. Definitions of Terms in Policies
Terms that are not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning conferred on
them in the underlying reinsured contracts. Such terms include, but may not be
limited to: Monthly Activity Date, Monthly Deduction Amount, Account Value, and
Policy Protection Account.
G. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Connecticut,
exclusive of the rules with respect to conflicts of law.
H. Assignment and Transfer
The rights, duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall not
be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, except as otherwise provided
herein, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.
Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This provision is not intended
to preclude the Reinsurer from retroceding the reinsurance on an indemnity
basis, nor to prevent successors in interest from having rights and obligations
under this Agreement.
I. Execution of Agreement in Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
J. Force Majeure
Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or non-performance of any covenant
contained herein nor shall any such delay or non-performance constitute a
default hereunder, or give rise to any liability for damages if such delay or
non-performance is caused by an event of "Force Majeure." As used herein, the
term "Force Majeure" means: an event, explosion, action of the elements, strike
or other labor relations problem; restriction or restraint imposed by law, rule,
or regulation of any public authority, whether federal, state or local, and
whether civil or military; act of any military authority or international
terrorist group; interruption of transportation, communication, or transmission
facilities; or any other cause

Between HLIC and TFLIC
30
that is beyond the reasonable control of such Party and that, by the exercise of
reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent. The existence of any
event of Force Majeure shall extend the term of performance on the part of such
Party to complete performance in the exercise of reasonable diligence after the
event of Force Majeure has been removed.
K. Anti-Money Laundering
It is the intention of the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer to comply with all
applicable laws, statutes, and regulations relating to anti-money laundering and
anti-terrorism financing activities. The Ceding Company is responsible for
compliance with all such laws, statutes, and regulations applicable to the sale
and solicitation of policies reinsured under this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the United States
Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (hereinafter
referred to as "OFAC"). Should either Party receive information that a policy
reinsured under this Agreement may insure, be owned by, be transferred or
payable to, or be brokered or sold by a Specially Designated National, as such
term is defined by OFAC (hereinafter referred to as "SDN"), that Party shall
provide such information to the other Party. In no event shall the Reinsurer be
liable for reinsurance of a risk under this Agreement unless the Ceding
Company's issuance of life insurance coverage for such risk met the OFAC
regulatory requirements. No reinsurance claim shall be payable on a policy
insuring, owned by, or payable to a SDN that does not hold a valid OFAC license
at the time of death of the insured.
L. Material Compliance Provision
The Parties represent that, to the best of their knowledge, they are in
substantial compliance with all state and federal laws material to the business
reinsured under this Agreement. In the event that either Party is found to be
noncompliant with any law material to this Agreement, this Agreement will remain
in effect and the non-compliant Party will indemnify the other Party for any
direct loss that Party suffers as a result of the noncompliance and, to the
extent practicable, will remedy the noncompliance as soon as possible.
M. Representations and Warranties and Good Faith
The Parties have entered into this Agreement in reliance upon mutual
representations and warranties.
Each Party represents to the other that, as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement, it was solvent on a statutory basis in all states in which it is
licensed to transact business.
The Ceding Company represents and warrants to the Reinsurer that it provided the
Reinsurer with a request for proposal and supporting materials associated
therewith on or about January 21, 2008 (the "Request for Proposal"), and
intended the Reinsurer to rely on the same, as well as the Reinsurer's
expertise, knowledge, and experience in the life insurance and life reinsurance
industries, in its decision to enter into this Agreement.
The Ceding Company represents to the Reinsurer that, to the best of its
knowledge, as of the date it executed this Agreement, it was not aware of any
errors in the Request for Proposal and that the Request for Proposal at the time
it was provided to the Reinsurer was complete in all material respects.
In addition, the Parties agree that the principles of good faith traditional to
life reinsurance shall be adhered to in the performance of this Agreement, in
the underwriting and
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and TFLIC
31
administration of the business reinsured hereunder, and in their dealing with
each other. Pursuant to such principles, the Ceding Company shall inform the
Reinsurer in writing with thirty (30) days advance notice of any material change
impacting the Reinsurer's liability in the underwriting (including changes to
InfoBase), administration, or claims practices for the Reinsurer's consideration
and written approval.
Any proposed changes to the Ceding Company's choice of underwriting manual, or
the other items included in Schedule E shall be submitted to the Reinsurer's
Chief Medical Director with thirty (30) days advance written notice for approval
prior to implementation. If the Reinsurer does not respond in writing within
this thirty (30) day period, it shall be presumed that the Reinsurer is
agreeable to such modifications.
If the Reinsurer does not consent to any such changes, the Reinsurer reserves
the right to decline reinsurance coverage on such policies and/or negotiate a
corresponding adjustment of the reinsurance terms and conditions for the risks
reinsured hereunder.
N. Taxes
The Reinsurer will not reimburse the Company for premium taxes or other
insurance-related taxes paid on business reinsured under this Agreement.
O. Inspection of Records
Each Party or its authorized representatives will have the right, at any
reasonable time with at least thirty (30) days advance notice, to inspect, audit
and review the other Party's documents and records that relate to this Agreement
and the business that is the subject matter of this Agreement.
P. Short-Term Interest
For certain payments as specified under this Agreement that are due from one
Party to the other Party, the Party owed has the right to charge the other Party
interest on those payments. If that right is exercised, such interest will be
computed, from the date the payment is due to the date payment is made, using
the short-term interest method.
Interest under the short-term interest method will accrue at an effective annual
rate set equal to the lesser of (i) a rate equal to the sum of 50 basis points
(0.50%) plus the annualized Three Month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR)
published in the Wall Street Journal (or, if not available, a comparable
publication agreed upon by the Parties) on the due date of the payment, if the
due date is a business day, or if not, on the first business day following the
due date, or (ii) the maximum annual rate allowed by law for this purpose in the
governing-law state specified above in Section G.
The effective annual interest rate to be used under the short-term interest
method for a payment due will be reset every three months after such due date,
as necessary, if the payment accrues interest for a period longer than three
months. If multiple payments are accruing interest under one computation, then
the rate will be reset every three months after the due date of the earliest
such payment, and the reset rate for each successive period shall apply to
accrue interest on all such payments accrued during such period.
Q. Expenses
The Ceding Company shall pay the expense of all medical examinations, inspection
fees,
Allocated Retention. Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008

32
and other charges in connection with the issuance of the insurance reinsured
under this Agreement.

amount of coverage will never be lower than the sum of gross premiums paid to
that date. Once elected, premiums are no longer payable.
Conversion Option Rider: During certain policy years and prior to the insured's
attained age 70, the policy may be converted, without evidence of insurability,

if the Federal Estate Tax Law is fully repealed by December 31, 2010, and the
Ceding Company receives a request for this benefit amount from the policy owner.

equal the Account Value) if the policy is surrendered within 3 years after the
policy issue date.
Cash Surrender Value Endorsement: Provides for enhanced Cash Surrender Value
(equal to the current Account Value) in the event of policy surrender in the
first 4 policy years, unless the policy is exchanged under Section 1035 to
another company's policy.
Automatic Premium Payment Rider: Provides for any Scheduled Premium due and
unpaid by the end of any Policy Grace Period to be paid by an automatic
deduction from the Account Value, if the Account Value exceeds the Guaranteed
Cash Value.
Additional Premium Rider: Allows additional premium amounts to be paid at the
same payment intervals as scheduled premiums.
Qualified Plan Rider: This rider indicates that the policy is owned by a
qualified plan, details the policy owner's reporting responsibilities to the

the sum of [ (i) + (ii) ] shall not exceed the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk for
such coverage, defined in Schedule B.
For the purposes of calculating Reinsurance Premium, the following will be
considered separate coverages: base policy, increases in coverage, and reinsured
riders.
YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM (YRT) REINSURANCE PREMIUM
The YRT Reinsurance Premium for each coverage shall equal (i) x (ii) x (iii) /
1,000, where:

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) Rider: Provides, at the end of

RIDERS PROVIDING DEATH BENEFITS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR REINSURANCE:
Primary Insured Term Rider: Provides additional level term life coverage on the
base policy insured.
Other Covered Insured Term Life Rider: Provides level term life coverage on an
insured other than the base policy insured.
Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) Rider: Provides for biennial face amount
increases, without underwriting, based on increases in the Consumer Price Index.

REINSURANCE:
Accidental Death Benefit Rider: Pays an additional death benefit if the death on
the insured is caused by a qualifying accident.
Accelerated Benefit Rider: Provides the policyholder up to 100% of the death
benefit, discounted with interest, if the insured's life expectancy is 12 months
or less. After acceleration, the Ceding Company shall continue to pay the
Reinsurer Reinsurance Premiums on the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk based on the
Death Benefit prior to acceleration, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for such
Reinsured Net Amount at Risk upon the death of the insured.
LifeAccess Accelerated Benefit Rider (LAABR): Provides for monthly benefits (up
to 2% of death benefit) if insured meets certain ADL and home-care requirements.

Death Benefit prior to acceleration, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for such
Reinsured Net Amount at Risk upon the death of the insured.
Policy Continuation Rider: Intended to prevent the lapse of highly loaned
policies.
Policy Protection Rider: Protects the death benefit of the base policy and any
primary insured term rider from lapse as long as the Policy Protection Account
Value ("shadow account") is not negative.
Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider: Provides that the policy will not lapse as
long as cumulative premiums paid less indebtedness and less withdrawals are
greater than or equal to the cumulative no lapse guarantee premiums. Length of
guarantee varies by issue age.
Lifetime No Lapse Guarantee Rider: Same as Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider but
with lifetime guarantee.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) Rider: Provides, at the end of
the GMAB Guarantee Period (usually 20 years), that the policy Account Value will
be increased, if necessary, to equal the sum of gross premiums paid to that
date. There is a small monthly charge and a minimum cumulative premium
requirement to keep the rider in force.

Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: Similar to the GMAB rider, with the same Guarantee
Period, a monthly charge, and a cumulative premium requirement. At end of the
Guarantee Period, the owner may elect to change coverage to paid-up life using
the Account Value as a 5% NSP to determine the amount of coverage; however, the
amount of coverage will never be lower than the sum of gross premiums paid to
that date. Once elected, premiums are no longer payable.
Conversion Option Rider: During certain policy years and prior to the insured's
attained age 70, the policy may be converted, without evidence of insurability,

during such travel.
Estate Tax Repeal Benefit Rider: Pays the policy Account Value less indebtedness
if the Federal Estate Tax Law is fully repealed by December 31, 2010, and the
Ceding Company receives a request for this benefit amount from the policy owner.
Modified Surrender Value Rider: Changes the Cash Surrender Value definition (to
equal the Account Value) if the policy is surrendered within 3 years after the
policy issue date.
Cash Surrender Value Endorsement: Provides for enhanced Cash Surrender Value
(equal to the current Account Value) in the event of policy surrender in the
first 4 policy years, unless the policy is exchanged under Section 1035 to
another company's policy.
Automatic Premium Payment Rider: Provides for any Scheduled Premium due and
unpaid by the end of any Policy Grace Period to be paid by an automatic
deduction from the Account Value, if the Account Value exceeds the Guaranteed
Cash Value.
Additional Premium Rider: Allows additional premium amounts to be paid at the
same payment intervals as scheduled premiums.

qualified plan, details the policy owner's reporting responsibilities to The

policy is owned by a Qualified Plan.
