Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer are parties to that certain Reinsurance Agreement (FA Business), designated as Treaty Number DEVFACO - 060118 and effective as of June 1, 2018 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Ceding Company cedes to the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer assumes from the Ceding Company, on a coinsurance basis, the Reinsured Liabilities; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire that all liabilities relating to the Reinsured Policies set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Recaptured Policies”) that are ceded to the Reinsurer pursuant to the Agreement be recaptured by the Ceding Company and that certain assets maintained by the Reinsurer as of the Recapture Effective Date in the Custody Account established pursuant to the Agreement be released to the Reinsurer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals (which are fully incorporated throughout this Amendment), promises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Recapture. The Parties agree that on and after the Recapture Effective Date, all liabilities (including the Ceded Reserves, the Ceded IMR and the Transaction IMR (defined below)) relating to the Recaptured Policies that are ceded by the Ceding Company to, and assumed by, the Reinsurer under the Agreement are hereby recaptured by the Ceding Company on a cut-off basis as further provided below. This recapture is effective notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in the Agreement. No reinsurance whatsoever or howsoever provided under the Agreement with respect to the Recaptured Policies shall remain in full force and effect from, on or at any time after the Recapture Effective Date; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all

settlements with respect to any period prior to the Recapture Effective Date shall be completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

2.Amendment of the Agreement. The Parties hereby waive any notice requirement in the Agreement to effect this Amendment, and this Amendment is effective notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Agreement. Further, when duly executed, this Amendment will be attached to and constitute a valid and binding part of the Agreement. This Amendment does not alter, amend or modify the Agreement other than as set forth herein.

3.Full Release. Effective as of the Recapture Effective Date, the Parties hereby irrevocably release and fully discharge each other, their affiliates, subsidiaries, associates, officers, directors, shareholders and agents and all other successors, predecessors and/or assignees and/or assignors from all and any past, present and future claims, liabilities and obligations, regardless whether contingent or absolute, mature or immature, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, reported or unreported, currently existing or arising in the future, disputed or recognized, arising under or related to the Agreement, including, without limitation, all premiums, claims, debits, liabilities, accounts, duties to report and submit accounts, deposits, damages, costs, losses and incurred but not reported claims, in each case, solely to the extent relating to the Recaptured Policies; provided, however, that this release shall not discharge the obligations of the Parties that have been undertaken or imposed by the terms of this Amendment.

i.the Ceded Reserves with respect to the Recaptured Policies as of the Recapture Effective Date; plus

ii.the Recapture IMR Amount (defined below) with respect to the Recaptured Policies as of the Recapture Effective Date; and

b.the Ceding Company shall pay to the Reinsurer a recapture commission in an amount determined in accordance with Schedule III (the “Recapture Commission”).

Reinsurer shall be satisfied by the Ceding Company transferring to the Reinsurer (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) an amount of cash equal to the Recapture Commission. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer acknowledge and agree that the Recapture Payment and the Recapture Commission payable on the Recapture Payment Date shall be determined on an estimated basis using in-force reserve and asset information as of March 31, 2023 and shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions set forth in Schedule IV.

For purposes of this Amendment, the “Recapture IMR Amount” means an amount equal to (i) if the interest maintenance reserve that is created on the Recapture Payment Date as a direct result of the transfer of the Recapture Assets by the Reinsurer to the Ceding Company pursuant to this Section 4, determined in accordance with Iowa SAP (the “Transaction IMR”), is negative, then the greater of (A) (I) the result of (x) the Ceded IMR with respect to the Recaptured Policies as of the Recapture Effective Date minus (y) the absolute value of the Transaction IMR, divided by (II) 0.79, and (B) zero, or (ii) if the Transaction IMR is positive, then (A) the sum of the Ceded IMR with respect to the Recaptured Policies as of the Recapture Effective Date plus the Transaction IMR divided by (B) 0.79.
