ARTICLE 1 – PREAMBLE

1.1

PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT

This Agreement will be construed to constitute a separate and distinct Agreement between each Company and the Reinsurer. The duties and obligations of each Company and the Reinsurer under this Agreement are several and not joint.

This Agreement is a YRT indemnity reinsurance agreement solely between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer. The acceptance of risks under this Agreement by the Reinsurer will create no right or legal relation between the Reinsurer and the insured, owner, beneficiary, or assignee of any insurance policy of the Ceding Company.

This Agreement will be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns including any rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator or statutory successor of either party. Neither party may effect any novation of this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent.

Day or days, when used in this Agreement, will mean calendar days.

1.2

CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM

This Agreement, will in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with the law and exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Minnesota.

1.3

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties, with respect to the business being reinsured hereunder, and there are no understandings between the parties other than expressed in this Agreement. Any alterations to the provisions of this Agreement will be made by Amendment or Addenda and must be signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. These documents will be regarded as part of this Agreement and will be equally binding

1.4

ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER

Neither this Agreement nor any new or inforce reinsurance under this Agreement, may be sold or assigned in whole or in part by either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer without the prior written approval of the other party. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Reinsurer from retroceding or transferring Risk associated with the Agreement to other parties.

1.5

EXPENSE OF THE ORIGINAL POLICY

The ceding company will bear the expense of all medical examinations, inspection fees and other charges incurred in connection with the underwriting and issuance of the Policy.

ARTICLE 2 – AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE

2.1

GENERAL CONDITIONS

On and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Ceding Company will Automatically cede to the Reinsurer a portion of the life insurance policies, supplementary benefits, and riders listed in Exhibit B-Business Covered and Issue Age Limits.

The Reinsurer will Automatically accept its share of the above-referenced policies up to the limits shown in Exhibit C-Binding Limits, provided that:

the Ceding Company keeps its Quota Share Retention, as specified in Exhibit A – Retention Schedule of the Ceding Company;

the Ceding Company applies the underwriting and reinstatement guidelines, practices, and procedures for risk selection conveyed to the Reinsurer prior to or at the time of pricing, or any Material Changes consented to in writing by the Reinsurer, which are still in use on the coverage commencement date;

the sum of the Ultimate Amount of reinsurance required including contractual increases and any applicable Riders, and the amount already reinsured on that life under this Agreement and all other agreements between the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company, does not exceed the Automatic Pool Binding Limits set out in Exhibit C-Binding Limits;

the amount of life insurance in force in all companies, including any coverage to be replaced, plus the ultimate face amount currently applied for on that life in all companies, does not exceed the Jumbo Limits stated in Exhibit C-Binding Limits;

the application is on a life that is not a Professional Athlete;

the application is on a life that has not been submitted Facultatively to the Reinsurer or any other reinsurer within the last three (3) years, unless the reason for any prior Facultative submission was solely for capacity that may now be accommodated within the terms of this Agreement; and

the insureds, at the time of the application, must be residents of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, or Guam, eligible for coverage under the Ceding Company’s resident underwriting guidelines which have been consented to by the Reinsurer in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.

For purposes of this Agreement, “ultimate face amount” will mean to the best of the Ceding Company’s knowledge, the projected maximum face amount at the time of underwriting, including any contractual increases, that could be reached based on reasonable assumptions made about the policy.

2.2

UNDERWRITING EXCEPTIONS

It is understood and agreed that the Reinsurer will accept the Ceding Company’s underwriting decisions as long as the Ceding Company’s underwriters act in good faith, in a prudent manner and in accordance with the Ceding Company’ s underwriting guidelines, manual, age and amount requirements and control procedures (collectively, “the Underwriting Requirements”). Mistakes in mortality assessment will only be accepted for Automatic reinsurance by the Reinsurer provided such mistakes are not systemic or part of a pattern that evidences disregard for the Underwriting Requirements. Underwriter discretion, which may deviate from the Underwriting Requirements when deemed warranted and appropriate by the Ceding Company underwriter exercising his or her professional judgment, will also be accepted for Automatic reinsurance by the Reinsurer provided that the assessed mortality risk for the policy is consistent with the Ceding Company’s expected mortality level for the underwriting classification that is applied. Business Exceptions occur where the Underwriting Requirements are deviated from based on business considerations rather than underwriting judgment.

Business Exceptions will be accepted for Automatic reinsurance only with the approval of the Reinsurer. At the time the final underwriting decision is reached, the Ceding Company shall document in the underwriting file any Business Exception made and the support for such decision.

2.3

CHANGES TO UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES

The Ceding Company reserves the right to revise the underwriting guidelines from time to time. For any Material change to the underwriting guidelines, the Ceding Company agrees to provide twenty (20) days’ advance written notice to the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to provide its decision in writing with regard to the proposed change within twenty (20) days. If there is no response from the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company will follow up with the Reinsurer before expiration of the review period. The Reinsurer’s failure to respond within twenty (20) days will constitute its acceptance of these changes.

ARTICLE 3 – FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE

3.1

GENERAL PROVISIONS

The Ceding Company may submit any application on a Policy identified in Exhibit B – Business Covered and Issue Age Limits to the Reinsurer for its consideration on a facultative basis including, but not limited to, Policies with amounts in excess of the Automatic Binding Limits.

The Ceding Company shall apply for reinsurance on a facultative basis by sending to the Reinsurer a mutually acceptable application for facultative reinsurance. In addition to the facultative application, the Ceding Company shall provide all underwriting evidence that is available for risk assessment including, but not limited to, copies of the application for insurance, medical examiners’ reports, attending physicians’ statements, inspection reports and to the best of the Ceding Company’s knowledge, the Ultimate Amount applied for in all companies, Ultimate Amount to be placed in all companies and Ultimate Amount to be in force in all companies and any other information bearing on the insurability of the risk. The Ceding Company also shall notify the Reinsurer of any outstanding underwriting requirements at the time of the facultative submission. Any subsequent information received by the Ceding Company that is pertinent to the risk assessment shall be immediately transmitted to the Reinsurer.

To the best of the Ceding Company’s ability at the time of issue, the Ceding Company has the responsibility to clearly identify the Ultimate Amount to be reinsured so that the Reinsurer’s underwriters are aware of the highest projected policy death benefit amount. The highest Reinsured Net Amount at Risk can never exceed the amount of the Reinsurer’s offer. Year-to-year changes in risk will be shared proportionately, determined by the amount of retention relative to the amount of reinsurance, unless specified otherwise.

After consideration of the facultative application and related information, Reinsurer shall promptly inform the Ceding Company of its underwriting decision. If the Reinsurer makes an offer, the Ceding Company must accept Reinsurer’s offer during the lifetime of the insured and within the (i) time period specified in Reinsurer’s offer or (ii) one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Ceding Company’s receipt of such offer. The Ceding Company shall accept Reinsurer’s offer by (i) written notification or (ii) reporting such risk on the periodic reports it provides to Reinsurer pursuant to Exhibit F. The Ceding Company will place the case with the Reinsurer having the first in, best offer.

If the Ceding Company fails to accept the Reinsurer’s offer as set forth above, Reinsurer’s offer shall expire and no reinsurance coverage shall exist on the Risk.

3.2

AUTOMATED SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (ASAP)

The Automated Selection and Assessment Program (ASAP) is covered under the Facultative Provisions of this Agreement. ASAP is defined as an underwriting program whereby the Ceding Company may enter key information pertinent to the insurability of a single life risk via Gateway, the Reinsurer’s Extranet, and will receive an on-line immediate electronic decision based on the information submitted. In order to be eligible for consideration under this program, the case must be Standard (not ratable) in all respects other than the impairment(s) being evaluated by ASAP.

For those policies which support a preferred rating, such policies are eligible for ASAP consideration if the case is consistent with the Ceding Company’s underwriting guidelines for a preferred rating in all respects other than the impairment(s) being evaluated by ASAP.

When the Ceding Company electronically binds the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer becomes the sole reinsurer of record. The liability of the Reinsurer for all claims arising under the ASAP commences simultaneously with that of the Ceding Company and will cease at the same time as the liability of the Ceding Company ceases.

Insureds with residences other than those listed in Article 2 of this Agreement may be eligible for coverage if given electronic acceptance via ASAP.

To qualify for this program, all in force policies and applied for amounts on the proposed insured may not exceed the jumbo limit stated in Exhibit C-Binding Limits of this Agreement.

When cases submitted through the ASAP are not eligible for ASAP, the Ceding Company may cede 100% of the risk to the Reinsurer at the Ceding Company’s original assessed rate. The face amount for these risks cannot exceed the automatic binding limits stated in the Agreement or the Ceding Company’s maximum exposure under the ASAP, whichever is less. Such cases will be clearly identified as an “ASAP Exception Case” when they are submitted to the Reinsurer.

ASAP shall not cover any risk that the Reinsurer is legally prohibited from reinsuring. For purposes of this exclusion, the term ‘legally prohibited’ shall mean contrary to the laws and/or regulations of the United States of America, including, but not limited to: lists promulgated or maintained by the United States Department of Treasury naming Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons; or any other laws, regulations, executive orders, or similar actions that impose sanctions or prohibit or restrict transactions or relations with designated persons, entities, organizations, or governments. The Ceding Company is responsible for checking prospective insureds to ensure eligibility prior to submitting the case electronically via ASAP.

ASAP contains copyrighted material, trade secrets and other proprietary material. All intellectual property rights in ASAP are owned by the Reinsurer and its affiliates, and are protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions.

In order to protect the Reinsurer’s intellectual property rights in ASAP, the Ceding Company may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce ASAP to a human-perceivable form. The Ceding Company may not modify, network, rent, lease, loan, distribute or create derivative works based upon ASAP in whole or in part. The Ceding Company is entitled to use the Software for its own internal business purposes only.

The Ceding Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that use of ASAP is at the Ceding Company’s sole risk. ASAP and related documentation are provided “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind. The Reinsurer specifically disclaims any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and noninfringement.

The Reinsurer shall not be liable for actual, special, incidental, consequential or other damages arising out of the use of or inability to use ASAP, including without limitation, damages or costs relating to the loss of profits, loss of use, loss of data or interruption of business, even if the Reinsurer is advised of or aware of the possibility of such damages.

ARTICLE 4 COMMENCEMENT OF LIABILITY

4.1

AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE

For Automatic reinsurance, the Reinsurer’s liability will commence at the same time as the Ceding Company’s liability.

4.2

FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE

For Facultative reinsurance, the Reinsurer’s liability will commence at the same time as the Ceding Company’s liability, provided that the Reinsurer has made a binding Facultative offer and that offer was accepted, during the lifetime of the insured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.3

BACKDATING TO SAVE AGE

The Ceding Company will have the right to backdate policies up to six (6) months for the purpose of saving age. Such backdated policies will be covered by this Agreement even if the backdated issue date precedes the Effective Date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding, backdating to save age is not available to increase the Automatic Binding or Jumbo Limits stated in Exhibit C.

4.4

CONDITIONAL RECEIPT OR TEMPORARY INSURANCE AGREEMENT

Reinsurance coverage under a Conditional Receipt or Temporary Insurance Agreement is limited to the Reinsurer’s share of amounts within the Conditional Receipt ·or Temporary Insurance Agreement specified in Exhibit C-Binding Limits. Reinsurance coverage is limited to one Conditional Receipt or Temporary Insurance Agreement per application on a life regardless of how many receipts are issued or initial premiums are accepted by the Ceding Company. The Reinsurer will accept liability provided that:

The Reinsurer has reviewed and approved the Conditional Receipt form or Temporary Insurance Agreement form; and

The risk is eligible for Automatic reinsurance under this Agreement; or the Reinsurer has made a Facultative offer during the lifetime of the insured and the Ceding Company would have accepted that offer; and

For facultative applications submitted to the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer’s liability under a Conditional Receipt or a Temporary Insurance Agreement will begin simultaneously with the Ceding Company’s contractual liability if the Reinsurer’s facultative offer has been accepted or would have been accepted. The Reinsurer’s liability is limited to its share, as shown in Exhibit C-Binding Limits, of amounts accepted within the Ceding Company’s usual cash-with-application procedures for temporary coverage.

If the proposed insured dies prior to the completion of the underwriting process, the Reinsurer will continue underwriting the risk to determine if a facultative offer would have been made on the risk. If so, the Reinsurer will accept liability for the risk, subject to the limits specified in the paragraph above.

The Reinsurer has no liability for facultative applications that the Ceding Company has not submitted to the Reinsurer.

The Ceding Company, its agents, or representatives have 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.

ARTICLE 5 – PREMIUM ACCOUNTING

5.1

PREMIUMS AND ALLOWANCES

Reinsurance premium rates paid by the Ceding Company and allowances paid by the Reinsurer for life insurance and other benefits reinsured under this Agreement are shown in Exhibit D-Reinsurance Premiums. The reinsurance premiums paid by the Ceding Company as well as the allowance paid by the Reinsurer will be applied to the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk under this Agreement.

5.2

PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS AND ALLOWANCES

Reinsurance premiums and allowances will be paid annually in advance with monthly billing. The Ceding Company will self-administer all reinsurance under this Agreement. Renewal Premium, allowances and any adjustments will be due within sixty (60) days of anniversary processing, in accordance with the following paragraph. New business premium and allowances are due within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date the risk is issued and paid.

The Ceding Company will calculate the amount of reinsurance premium and allowances due and within sixty (60) days after the last day of each billing period, and will send the Reinsurer a statement that contains the information shown in Exhibit F, including any reinsurance premiums and allowances due for that period. The Ceding Company will remit amounts due the Reinsurer at the same time as the statement.

If an undisputed amount is due the Ceding Company, the Reinsurer will remit that amount to the Ceding Company within thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will work together to resolve any disputed amounts due either party within sixty (60) days receipt of the statement.

5.3

DELAYED PAYMENT

When balances are in default, each party reserves the right to charge interest at the prime rate plus 2% as stated in the Wall Street Journal on January 1, prior to the due date of the Premium when Premium is delinquent.

5.4

FAILURE TO PAY PREMIUMS

The payment of reinsurance premiums is a condition precedent to the liability of the Reinsurer for reinsurance covered by this Agreement. In the event that undisputed reinsurance premiums are not paid within sixty (60) days after they are due pursuant to Article 5.2 above, the Reinsurer will have the right to terminate the reinsurance for all policies having reinsurance premiums in arrears. If the Reinsurer elects to exercise its right of termination, it will give the Ceding Company ninety (90) days written notice of its intention. Such notice will be sent by certified mail or overnight courier service (e.g. Federal Express).

If all reinsurance premiums in arrears, including any that become in arrears during the ninety (90) day notice period, are not paid before the expiration of the notice period, the Reinsurer will be relieved of all liability under those policies as of the last date to which premiums have been paid for each policy. Reinsurance on policies on which reinsurance premiums subsequently fall due will automatically terminate as of the last date to which premiums have been paid for each policy, unless reinsurance premiums on those policies are paid on or before their due date pursuant to Article 5.2 above.

Terminated reinsurance may be reinstated, subject to approval by the Reinsurer, within thirty (30) days of the date of termination, and upon payment of all reinsurance premiums in arrears including any interest accrued thereon. The Reinsurer will have no liability for any claims incurred between the date of termination and the date of the reinstatement of the reinsurance. The right to terminate reinsurance will not prejudice the Reinsurer’s right to collect premiums for the period during which reinsurance was in force prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day notice.

The Ceding Company may not force termination under the provisions of this Article to avoid the provisions regarding recapture in Article 11 , nor to transfer the reinsured policies to another Reinsurer.

5.5

PREMIUM RATE GUARANTEE

YRT

The Life Reinsurance Premium rates contained in this Agreement are guaranteed for one year, and the Reinsurer anticipates continuing to accept Premiums on the basis of these rates indefinitely. If the reinsurer deems it necessary to increase rates, then it shall provide the Ceding Company with sound actuarial evidence for the justification of the rate increase. In no event will such increased premium rates be higher than the greater of (i) the rates in Exhibit D-Reinsurance Premiums or (ii) as defined below.

For products that have not adopted the 2017 CSO Loaded Sex & Smoker Distinct, Select & Ultimate Age Nearest Birthday mortality table:

the one year term premium for annual renewable term insurance calculated using the 2001 CSO Sex & Smoker Distinct, Select & Ultimate, Age Nearest Birthday mortality table and statutory maximum interest rate for the reinsured business for each year of issue; or

For products that have adopted the 2017 CSO Loaded Sex & Smoker Distinct, Select & Ultimate Age Nearest Birthday mortality table:

the one year term premium for annual renewable term insurance calculated using a multiple of 125% of the 2017 CSO Loaded Preferred Structure Tables, Sex, Tobacco & Class Distinct, Ultimate Only, Age Nearest Birthday mortality table and statutory maximum interest rate for the reinsured business for each year of issue.

An additional mortality load will be applied to the premium rate guarantee for non-standard risks as follows:

Conversions will include an additional 50% load (for the sake of clarity, the above maximum rates will be multiplied by 1.5 for policies that are the result of term conversions)

Substandard policies will include an additional load of 25% per table rating and add any flat extra

Other non-standard risks will include an additional load to be determined by mutual agreement of the parties to this Agreement.

For inforce blocks of business, if an increase in reinsurance rates occurs on a guaranteed product that is reinsured on non-guaranteed terms, the Ceding Company, with written notice to the Reinsurer, has the right to recapture the business to which such increase applies as set forth in this Article. Written notice of the Ceding Company’s intent to recapture the reinsurance will be given to the Reinsurer within one hundred twenty (120) days after the notification of the increase in reinsurance rates. Recapture will become effective no earlier than the effective date of the rate increase and no later than the policy anniversary next following or coincident with the date written notice of recapture is provided to the Reinsurer.

For inforce blocks of business, if an increase in reinsurance rates occurs on a non-guaranteed product that is reinsured on non-guaranteed terms, the Ceding Company should investigate the possibility of increasing its direct pricing or charges to restore the product to previous profitability. If the Ceding Company determines that it cannot reasonably implement such a pricing increase, then, with written notice to the Reinsurer, it has the right to recapture the business to which such increase applies as set forth in this Article.

Written notice of the Ceding Company’s intent to recapture the reinsurance will be given to the Reinsurer within one hundred twenty (120) days after the notification of the increase in reinsurance rates. Recapture will become effective no earlier than the effective date of the rate increase and no later than the policy anniversary next following or coincident with the date written notice of recapture is provided to the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE 6 – POLICY TERMINATIONS, CHANGES AND REINSTATEMENTS

The Ceding Company will promptly notify the Reinsurer of any change optimally within ninety (90) days after its effective date.

6.1

REDUCTIONS

Unless specified otherwise in this Agreement, if the amount of a reinsured Policy issued by the Ceding Company is reduced and the amount of reinsurance is on a quota share basis, then the amount of reinsurance on that reinsured Policy will be reduced effective the same date by the same proportion as the reduction under the original reinsured Policy.

The reinsurance reduction will be on a Last in First Out basis (LIFO). The reduction will first apply to any reinsurance on the reinsured Policy being reduced and then, if applicable, in chronological order according to policy date (“Last in, first out”) to any reinsurance on other policies in force on the life. However, the Ceding Company will not be required to assume a risk for an amount in excess of its regular retention for the age at issue and the mortality rating of the policy under which reinsurance is being terminated.

If the reinsurance for a reinsured Policy has been placed with more than one reinsurer, the reduction will be applied to all reinsurers pro rata to the amounts originally reinsured with each reinsurer.

A reduction to one of the Ceding Company’s policies not reinsured hereunder will require that the Ceding Company maintain its required retention as specified in Exhibit A-Retention Schedule of the Ceding Company of this Agreement.

In the event of the reduction of a policy or policies reinsured under this Agreement, the Reinsurer will refund any unearned reinsurance premiums net of allowances. The reinsured portion of any policy fee will be deemed earned for the entire policy year if the policy was reinsured during any portion of that policy year.

6.2

TERMINATIONS

When a policy issued by the Ceding Company terminates by death, lapse, surrender or otherwise, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured Policy will be terminated effective the same date. Unless specified otherwise in this Agreement, if a policy fully retained by the Ceding Company terminates, the terms of Article 6.1 will apply. Full retention shall be defined as specified in Exhibit A-Retention Schedule of the Ceding Company of this Agreement.

If a policy issued by the Ceding Company lapses and extended term insurance is elected under the terms of that policy, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured Policy will continue on the same basis as the original reinsured Policy until the expiry of the extended term period.

If a policy issued by the Ceding Company lapses and reduced paid-up insurance is elected under the terms of that policy, the amount of the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured Policy will be reduced according to the terms of Article 6.1.

If the Ceding Company allows the policy to remain in force under its automatic premium loan provision, 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.

In the event of the termination of a policy or policies reinsured under this Agreement, the Reinsurer will refund any unearned reinsurance premiums net of allowances.

6.3

INCREASES

Non-Contractual

If the amount of insurance is increased as a result of an underwritten change, the increase will be considered new risk under this Agreement in accordance with Exhibit A-Retention Schedule of Ceding Company. The Risk will not be automatically reinsured if the life was previously reviewed or underwritten on a facultative basis

Contractual

The term products listed in Exhibit Bare ineligible for non-underwritten (contractual) increases. Reinsurance of increases in amount resulting from contractual policy provisions will be based on the issue age, mortality rating, underwriting class and duration from issue of the original Policy.

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will share the increased amount proportionately. Once the maximum retention is held by the Ceding Company, the increased amount will be shared proportionately between all reinsurers. If the reinsurance is Automatic, the Automatic Pool Binding Limits or jumbo limits shown in Exhibit C must not be exceeded. If the reinsurance is Facultative, the amount of reinsurance must not exceed the Ultimate Amount included in the Facultative offer.

Any change in the Policy Net Amount at Risk due to changes in the policy’s cash value or account value will be shared proportionately between the Ceding Company and all reinsurers.

6.4

RISK CLASSIFICATION CHANGES

For automatic Risks, the Ceding Company may reduce the rating classification or change the tobacco classification in accordance with the Ceding Company underwriting guidelines. The Ceding Company will notify the Reinsurer of this change. For Facultative Risks, the Ceding Company will submit the rating classified changes and tobacco class changes to the Reinsurer for its approval.

6.5

REINSTATEMENT

Any Risk originally reinsured on an automatic basis or on a facultative basis where no underwriting is required, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by the Ceding Company may be reinstated with the Reinsurer as long as the policy is reinstated in accordance with the established procedures and rules of the Ceding Company previously disclosed to the Reinsurer.

Any policy reinstatement exceptions deviating from established procedures and rules previously disclosed to the Reinsurer must be approved by the Reinsurer prior to ceding the reinstatement to the Reinsurer. Any Policy originally reinsured with the Reinsurer on a Facultative basis that requires underwriting due to a lapsed status for more than ninety (90) days, the Risk will be submitted with the underwriting requirements and approved by the Reinsurer before it is reinstated. The Ceding Company will pay the Reinsurer all reinsurance Premiums in the same manner as the Ceding Company received the insurance Premiums under the particular Policy.

6.6

NONFORFEITURE BENEFITS

Extended Term: If the Policy changes to extended term insurance under the terms of the Policy, reinsurance will continue on the same basis as under the original Policy until the expiry of the extended term.

Reduced Paid-Up: If the Policy changes to reduced paid-up insurance under the terms of the Policy, the amount reinsured will be reduced in accordance with Article 6, Section 1 above.

ARTICLE 7 – CONVERSIONS, EXCHANGES AND REPLACEMENTS

The Reinsurer will continue to reinsure the Risk resulting from the Non-Contractual Conversion of any coverage reinsured under this Agreement, in an amount not to exceed the original amount reinsured. For the sake of clarity, a Contractual Conversion option is not available for any term rider or term agreement reinsured under this Agreement.

Reinsurance of Non-Contractual Conversions will remain with the Reinsurer on a YRT basis. If the product to which the original Risk is converting is reinsured by the Reinsurer, either under this Agreement or under a different Agreement, reinsurance Premium rates for the coverage will be those contained in the Agreement that covers the product to which the Policy is converting.

However, if the new product is not reinsured by the Reinsurer, reinsurance Premiums for a Policy resulting from a Non-Contractual Conversion will use the rates shown in Exhibit D – Reinsurance Premiums. Reinsurance Premiums and any pay percentages applicable to Non-Contractual Conversions will be on a point in scale basis from the original issue age and current duration of the Risk reinsured. For off-anniversary conversions, duration shall be rounded to the nearest number based on the issue date of the original policy. If conversion occurs during the first six (6) months of the original issued policy, the first year percentage of premium for the converted policy will be 0%.

The Ceding Company will promptly notify the Reinsurer in advance of any previously undefined or undisclosed marketing campaigns or changes in company practices which target and encourage conversions, exchanges, or replacements of reinsured policies. If the Reinsurer concludes any such campaigns or changes materially impact the risk profile of the business reinsured under this Agreement, the Reinsurer will promptly notify the Ceding Company of any changes to the pay percentages.

ARTICLE 8 – POLICY RESCISSION

If it is determined that a Policy reinsured under this Agreement should be rescinded due to misrepresentation by the policy owner or the insured, the Reinsurer will pay its share of reasonable investigation and legal expenses connected with the rescission action. If it is determined that multiple similarly situated policies reinsured under this Agreement should all be rescinded for the same reason or reasons, the Ceding Company must consult with the Reinsurer in advance of incurring the investigation and legal expenses.

The Reinsurer will not reimburse the Ceding Company for routine expenses, including but not limited to the Ceding Company’s home office expenses, compensation of salaried officers and employees, and any legal expenses other than third party expenses incurred by the Ceding Company.

ARTICLE 9 – CLAIMS

9.1

NOTICE

When the Ceding Company is informed of a claim, it will promptly notify the Reinsurer of the claim. This notification will provide the Reinsurer with the following information: The Name, Policy Number, Issue Date, Date of Birth, Date of Death (if known), Face Amount and Reinsured Net Amount At Risk.

9.2

PROOFS

The Ceding Company will examine and approve the claims and will send the Reinsurer notification of all paid claims. It is the sole decision of the Ceding Company to determine if the claim is payable. The Reinsurer agrees to accept the determination of the Ceding Company based on the Ceding Company’s standard claims practices and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

When the Ceding Company is requesting its share of the claim, the following proofs will be submitted to the Reinsurer with each claim: a copy of the death certificate, proof of the amount paid on such claim by the Ceding Company and a copy of the claimant’s statement. The Reinsurer will also pay its proportionate share of interest that the Ceding Company pays on the death benefit.

In every case of loss, copies of the proofs obtained by the Ceding Company will be taken by the Reinsurer as sufficient provided proofs are in accordance with the Ceding Company’s current claim practices.

The Reinsurer reserves the right to request, and the Ceding Company will send upon such request, documents on any claim reinsured under this Agreement.

9.3

AMOUNT AND PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE BENEFITS

As soon as the Reinsurer receives proper claim notice, proof of the claim and the Death Claim Benefit Request Form, the Reinsurer shall within sixty (60) days pay the reinsurance benefits eligible for coverage under this Agreement due the Ceding Company. The claim benefits paid will be in a single sum, regardless of the Ceding Company’s settlement options.

When death claim benefits due from the Reinsurer are in default, the Ceding Company reserves the right to charge interest at the Prime Rate plus 2% as stated in the Wall Street Journal on January 1, prior to the date of the death claim. Claims benefits in default are defined as undisputed claim benefits not reimbursed within ninety (90) days of receiving the claim benefit request, all proofs as described in Section 9.2 above.

For policies where the Ceding Company decides not to pay the claim, the procedures stated below under Section 9.4, Disputed Claims will be followed .

9.4

DISPUTED CLAIMS

The Ceding Company will promptly notify the Reinsurer of its intent to contest, compromise, or litigate a claim reinsured under this Agreement. The Ceding Company will provide the Reinsurer with all papers for review. Within seven (7) days of receiving the papers, the Reinsurer must communicate its approval of the Ceding Company’s actions and agreement to be a party to the contest, compromise, or litigation. Failure to respond to the Ceding Company within seven (7) days constitutes approval and agreement by the Reinsurer.

If the Reinsurer declines to be a party to such contest, compromise, or litigation, the Reinsurer will discharge all of its liability by paying its proportionate share of reinsurance due the Ceding Company as if there had been no contest, compromise or litigation. The Reinsurer will also pay its proportionate share of covered expenses incurred to the date it notifies the Ceding Company it declines to be a party.

9.5

CLAIM EXPENSES

The Reinsurer will pay its share of reasonable investigation and legal expenses connected with the litigation or settlement of contractual liability claims unless the Reinsurer has discharged its liability as described in Section 9.4 above, the Reinsurer will not participate in any expenses after the date of discharge.

Claim expenses do not include routine home office claim and administration expenses, including the expenses incurred by the Ceding Company as a result of a dispute arising out of conflicting claims of entitlement to policy proceeds or benefits.

9.6

MISREPRESENTATION OR SUICIDE

If the Ceding Company returns Premium to the policy owner or beneficiary as a result of fraud or misrepresentation within the policy contestable period or as a result of the suicide of the insured, the Reinsurer will refund reinsurance Premiums received on that policy without interest to the Ceding Company.

9.7

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR GENDER

If the amount of insurance changes because of a misstatement of age or gender classification, the Reinsurer’s share of liability will change proportionately. Reinsurance Premiums will be adjusted from the inception of the policy and any differences will be settled without interest.

9.8

EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES

Generally, the Reinsurer will not participate in and will not be liable to pay extra-contractual damages that are awarded against the Ceding Company as a result of an act, omission, or course of conduct committed solely by the Ceding Company, its agents, or representatives in connection with claims covered under this Agreement.

The parties recognize that circumstances may arise in which the Reinsurer would participate in extra-contractual damages. The Reinsurer will be liable for and reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer’s share of extra-contractual damages that result from actions approved in advance and in writing by the Reinsurer unless the Reinsurer had discharged all of its liability. In such situations, the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company will share such damages in proportion to the original amount reinsured.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “extra-contractual damages” will include, by way of example and not limitation:

Actual and consequential damages;

Damages for emotional distress or oppression;

Punitive, exemplary or compensatory damages;

Statutory damages, fines or penalties;

Amounts in excess of the reinsured amount hereunder that the Ceding Company pays to settle a dispute or claim;

Third-party attorney fees, cost and expenses

Notwithstanding the limited exception set forth in the paragraph above, this Agreement shall not provide any indemnity with respect to any extra-contractual damages incurred by the Ceding Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act or omission:

By any officer, director, employee, agent or representative of the Ceding Company and, of which, Reinsurer is not consciously aware; nor

Occurring prior to the denial of the claim and, of which, Reinsurer is not consciously aware.

ARTICLE 10 – RETENTION LIMIT CHANGES

The Ceding Company may change its Retention with respect to future new business at any time. The Ceding Company will notify the Reinsurer of such change at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date.

A change to the Ceding Company’s maximum retention limits will not affect the reinsured policies inforce except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement. Furthermore, unless agreed in writing between the parties, an increase in the Ceding Company’s retention schedule will not cause an increase in the Automatic Pool Binding Limits.

ARTICLE 11 – RECAPTURE

If the Ceding Company increases its Retention, it shall have the right to recapture ceded reinsurance in accordance with the following rules:

1. The Risk has been reinsured under this Agreement and in force for the minimum period shown in Exhibit C.5 Recapture Period.

2. The Ceding Company retained its maximum limit of Retention for the plan, age and mortality rating at the time the policy was issued under this Agreement and in accordance with Exhibit A, Retention Schedule of the Ceding Company.

3. All reinsurance eligible for Recapture under the provisions of this Article, must be Recaptured.

4. The Risk will be Recaptured on the anniversary date of the policy following the recapture notification letter unless agreed upon in writing by both parties.

5. For any death that occurred prior to recapture, the Ceding Company’s retention limit at the time of death will apply.

To effect recapture, the Ceding Company must notify the Reinsurer of its intent to do so within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the increase in its Retention limits. The Ceding Company may apply the new limits of Retention to existing ceded reinsurance and reduce and Recapture reinsurance inforce.

The amount eligible for recapture will be the difference between the amount originally retained and the amount the Ceding Company would have retained on the same quota share basis had the new Retention schedule been in effect at the time of issue.

ARTICLE 12 – REINSURED NET AMOUNT AT RISK

The Cash Value will be applied to the reinsured amount proportionately. When multiple layers are reinsured, the Cash Value will be applied proportionately to each layer. If multiple companies exist on a layer, the Cash Value will be split proportionately among the Reinsurers.

The Reinsured Net Amount at Risk will be the difference between the reinsured face amount and the portion of the Cash Value corresponding to the reinsured face amount on the Policy.

Term Riders: the net amount at risk will equal the reinsured face amount.

ARTICLE 13 – GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1

CURRENCY

All payments and reporting by all parties under this Agreement will be made in United States dollars.

13.2

PREMIUM TAX

The Reinsurer will not reimburse the Ceding Company for premium taxes.

These documents will be made available during normal office hours at the office of the inspected party to a representative of the party requesting inspection who will be named in advance; notification of such visits must be given two (2) weeks in advance. If the party requesting inspection uses an Auditor, the inspected party may require that the Auditor enter into a written confidentiality agreement; provided that such agreement contains commercially reasonable terms and conditions and that it does not prevent disclosure of the results of the inspection to the party requesting the inspection of records.

13.4

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

The Policy is issued and maintained in accordance with all laws and the Ceding Company assures the Policy does not involve individuals appearing on the OF AC Specifically Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons list or residing in a prohibited country. Neither the Ceding Company nor the Reinsurer shall be required to take any action under this Agreement that would result in it being in violation of said laws, including making any payments in violation of the law. Should either party discover a reinsurance payment has been made in violation of the law, it shall notify the other party and the parties shall cooperate in order to take any necessary corrective actions.

13.5

THE FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (FATCA)

Both the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company agree to provide all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) consistent with Sections 1471 – 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and any Treasury Regulations, or other guidance issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, as applicable, Forms X-0, Xxxxx X-0XXX-X, any information necessary for the parties to enter into an agreement described in Section 147l(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to comply with the terms of that agreement or to comply with the terms of any inter-governmental agreements between the U.S. and any other jurisdictions relating to FATCA. This information will be provided promptly upon reasonable request by either party to this Agreement and promptly upon learning that any such information previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that if they fail to supply such information on a timely basis, it may be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax imposed on payments of U.S. source income.

13.6

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination will not impair or affect the validity or the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement to the extent that enforcement of such remaining provisions, without the invalid or unenforceable provision, is consistent with the intent of the parties which is inferred from the provisions of the entire Agreement.

13.7

WAIVER

Either party may choose to waive any provision or right under this Agreement under which performance is owed to them by the other party. Any waiver of provisions or rights by a party to this Agreement must be in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of the party granting the waiver. If either party so elects, it will not be considered to be a permanent waiver of such provision nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The applicable party will still have the right to insist upon the strict adherence to that provision or any other provision of this Agreement in the future.

ARTICLE 14 – DAC TAX

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer hereby agree to the following, pursuant to Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations issued December 29, 1992, under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

I. The term “party” will refer to either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer as appropriate.

2. The terms used in this Article are defined by reference to Treasury Regulation Section 1.848-2 in effect as of December 29, 1992. The term “net consideration” refers to net consideration as defined in Treasury Regulation Section l.848-2(f).

3. 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 IRS Section 848(c)(l).

4. The parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net consideration under this Agreement each year by April 1 to ensure consistency, or as otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service.

5. Each party may contest such calculation by providing an alternative calculation by May l of the year following the end of the taxable year to the other party and the parties will act in good faith to reach agreement as to the correct amount within thirty (30) days.

6. Each party agrees to report such amount of net consideration in their respective federal income tax returns for the previous tax year.

7. Each party will attach a schedule to its federal income tax return for the first taxable year ending on or after the Effective Date that identifies this Agreement as a reinsurance agreement for which the joint election under Regulation Section 1.848-2(g)(8) has been made.

8. Each party represents that it is subject to United States taxation under either Subchapter L or Subpart F of Part III of Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

ARTICLE 15 – RESERVES

15.1

Reserve Reporting

The Ceding Company shall provide a reserve summary for the Policies reinsured under this Agreement to the Reinsurer within fifteen (15) days of the end of each quarter. Upon request, the Ceding Company will provide a detailed description of its statutory valuation basis as filed with the Ceding Company’s statutory annual statement.

The Reinsurer will be responsible for calculating and establishing statutory reserves on its share of the business in accordance with the Standard Valuation Law. The Reinsurer’s reserve calculations may differ from those of the Ceding Company.

The Reinsurer will establish reinsurance reserves in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations that the Reinsurer deems controlling.

15.2

Reserve Credit

The parties intend that the Ceding Company will receive statutory reserve credit in its state of domicile for reinsurance provided under this Agreement. The parties agree to use reasonable efforts to ensure that such reserve credit will remain available to the Ceding Company.

If the Ceding Company loses statutory reserve credit in part or in total due to a failure by the Reinsurer to maintain in effect a required license or accreditation in the Ceding Company’s state of domicile (hereinafter a “Reserve Credit Event”), then the parties will take the steps specified below. The parties will provide prompt notice of the occurrence of any Reserve Credit Event.

Upon the occurrence of any Reserve Credit Event, the Reinsurer shall establish on behalf of the Ceding Company such trust accounts, letters of credit, premiums withheld by the Ceding Company, or a combination thereof as may be required or permitted by applicable law in order to permit the Ceding Company to obtain credit for such reinsurance. The Reinsurer will have the option of determining the method of funding to be utilized so long as the Ceding Company is satisfied that such method will provide such statutory financial statement credit. As an alternative to the measures described directly above, the Reinsurer may:

Cure the Reserve Credit Event by modifying the settlement terms of this Agreement during the Reserve Credit Event to provide for monthly settlements in arrears during the pendency of the Reserve Credit Event; or

ii.

Propose the assignment and novation of its position as reinsurer under this Agreement to another reinsurer within the reinsurer’s group and transfer the reinsurer’s obligations under this Agreement to such reinsurer, provided the Ceding Company is in agreement that transfer to the other reinsurer would allow the Ceding Company to obtain full reserve credit for the reinsurance of the policies reinsured hereunder.

If a Reserve Credit Event is not cured and the Reinsurer fails to establish or maintain collateral as set forth above, then the Ceding Company may recapture the business ceded under this Agreement. In that event, if the Ceding Company elects to recapture reinsurance under this Article, unearned premiums, net of outstanding balances, will be paid by the party with the positive balance.

In the event business ceded under this Agreement becomes eligible for recapture pursuant to the provisions of this Article, written notice of the Ceding Company’s intent to recapture will be given to the Reinsurer within ninety (90) days of the business first becoming recapture eligible. Recapture will become effective no earlier than the first date on which the business became eligible for recapture and no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice to recapture is provided to the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE 16 – OFFSET

Any undisputed amounts due, by either of the parties to this Agreement, whether they arise out of this Agreement or out of any other reinsurance relationship between the parties, may be offset and only the balance will be allowed or paid. This right will continue to exist after the termination of this Agreement, or of any business relationship between the parties. This right to offset is not diminished by the insolvency of either party.

ARTICLE 17 – INSOLVENCY

17.1

INSOLVENCY OF A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT

A Party to this Agreement will be deemed “insolvent” when it:

a) Applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator or statutory successor (hereinafter referred to as the Authorized Representative) of its properties or assets; or

b) Is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent; or

c) Files or consents to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, seeks reorganization or an arrangement with creditors to avoid bankruptcy or takes advantage of any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, rehabilitation, conservation or similar law or statute; or

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

17.2

INSOLVENCY OF THE CEDING COMPANY

In the event that the Ceding Company is deemed insolvent, all reinsurance death claims payable hereunder will be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Ceding Company, its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company for benefits under the Reinsured Policy, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding Company.

It is understood, however, that in the event of such insolvency, the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding Company will give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a death claim against the Ceding Company on a Risk reinsured hereunder within a reasonable time after such death claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding.

Such notice will indicate the policy reinsured and whether the death claim could involve a possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer will be liable only for benefits reinsured as benefits become due under the terms of the Reinsured Policies and will not be or become liable for any amounts or reserves to be held by the Ceding Company as to the Reinsured Policies or for any damages or payments resulting from the termination or restructure of the Policies that are not otherwise expressly covered by this Agreement.

During the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such death claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such death claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses it may deem available to the Ceding Company, its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. It is further understood that the expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the Ceding Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit that may accrue to the Ceding Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

Where two or more Reinsurers are participating in the same death claim and a majority in interest (determined with respect to shares of Net Amount at Risk) elects to interpose a defense or defenses to any such death claim, the expense will be apportioned among the Reinsurers in the same proportion that the Reinsurer’s net liability bears to the sum of the net liability of all Reinsurers on the insured’s date of death.

17.3

INSOLVENCY OF THE REINSURER

In the event of the insolvency of the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company may cancel this Agreement for new business by promptly providing the Reinsurer or its Authorized Representative with written notice of cancellation, to be effective as of the date on which the Reinsurer’s insolvency is established by the authority responsible for such determination. Any requirement for a notification period prior to the cancellation of the Agreement would not apply under such circumstances.

In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company may provide the Reinsurer or its Authorized Representative with written notice of its intent to recapture all reinsurance in force under this Agreement regardless of the duration the reinsurance has been in force or the amount retained by the Ceding Company on the Reinsured Policies.

The Ceding Company will provide the Reinsurer with ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of its intent to recapture (the “Cure Period”). If at the end of the Cure Period the Reinsurer remains insolvent according to the authority responsible for such determination, then the Ceding Company may elect to recapture all reinsurance inforce under this Agreement effective no earlier than the end of the Cure Period and no later than twelve (12) months following the end of the Cure Period. If the Ceding Company elects to recapture reinsurance under this Article, unearned premiums, net of outstanding balances, will be paid by the party with the positive balance.

In the event of the insolvency of either party, the rights or remedies of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 18 – ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

It is expressly understood and agreed that if failure to comply with any terms of this Agreement is hereby shown to be the result of an unintentional error, misunderstanding or omission on the part of either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, both the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer, will be restored to the position they would have occupied, had no such error, misunderstanding or omission occurred, subject always to the correction of the error, misunderstanding or omission. In the event a payment is corrected, the party receiving the payment may charge interest. If such restorations are not possible, the Parties will endeavor in good faith to promptly remedy the situation in a manner that is mutually agreeable, and most closely approximates the intent of the Parties as evidenced by this Agreement. Any resolution made to correct such error will not constitute a waiver or set a precedent for any similar subsequent errors. However, in no case shall an error or omission create reinsurance coverage that would not have existed in the absence of the error or omission.

This provision applies only to oversights, misunderstanding or clerical errors relating to the administration of reinsurance covered by this Agreement. This provision does not apply to the administration of the insurance provided by the Ceding Company to its insured or any other errors or omissions committed by the Ceding Company with regard to the policy reinsured hereunder, including the underwriting of the Risk. It is expressly understood that nothing in this provision waives the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance that are specified in Article 2 Automatic Reinsurance.

If the Ceding Company has failed to cede as provided under this Agreement or has failed to comply with reporting requirements with respect to business ceded hereunder, the Ceding Company may be obligated to audit its records for similar errors and take all reasonable action necessary to correct errors and avoid similar errors if required by the Reinsurer.

The Ceding Company will provide information about and consult with the Reinsurer regarding liability prior to making material corrections or taking back premium for late reported terminations on the billing statement.

ARTICLE 19 – ARBITRATION

19.1

GENERAL

The parties agree to act with the highest good faith. However, if the parties cannot mutually resolve a dispute or claim, which arises out of, or in connection with this Agreement, including its formation and validity, and whether arising during, or after the period of this Agreement and the dispute cannot be resolved through Issue Resolution as described below, the dispute will be decided through arbitration.

As a condition to the parties’ right to arbitration under this Agreement, either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer will give written notification to the other party of any dispute relating to or arising from this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the formation or breach thereof.

19.2

ISSUE RESOLUTION

In the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties agree to the following process of issue resolution. Within fifteen (15) days of notification, both parties must designate an officer of their respective companies to attempt to resolve the dispute. The officers will meet at a mutually agreeable location as soon as possible and as often as necessary to attempt to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. During the negotiation process, all reasonable requests made for information concerning the dispute will be promptly honored. The format for discussions will be determined mutually by the officers.

If these officers are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of their first meeting, the parties may agree in writing to extend the negotiation period for an additional thirty (30) days. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the first meeting or the additional thirty (30) day period, if any, then either party may demand arbitration as documented below. The discussions and all information exchanged for the purposes of such discussions will be confidential and without prejudice.

If a resolution cannot be reached using the process described above, the dispute or claim shall be referred to arbitration.

19.3

NOTICE OF ARBITRATION

To initiate arbitration, either party will notify the other party by certified mail of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of the dispute and the remedy sought (the “Arbitration Notice”). The party, to which the Arbitration Notice is sent, shall respond to such notice in writing, within twenty (20) days of its receipt. Failure to respond in a timely manner to the Arbitration Notice will be deemed a breach of this Agreement, enforceable within an applicable court of law.

19.4

PROCEDURE

Arbitration shall be conducted before a three-person arbitration panel (the “Arbitration Panel”) of disinterested arbitrators who shall be appointed as follows: Each party shall appoint one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall then appoint a neutral umpire before proceeding. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after it receives the Arbitration Notice, the Party who initially sent the Arbitration Notice may appoint both arbitrators.

Should the two arbitrators fail to choose an umpire within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the parties shall appoint the umpire pursuant to the XXXXX•U.S. Umpire Selection Procedure.

The arbitrators and umpire shall be either present or former executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies, other than the parties or any of their affiliates, or arbitrators certified by XXXXX•U.S. and not former officers, directors or employees of either the Reinsurer or the Ceding Company or any of their past or current affiliates. The arbitrators and umpire shall not be under the control of either party, and shall have no financial interest in the outcome of the arbitration.

The parties shall be entitled to engage in reasonable discovery, including requests for production of relevant non-privileged documents. The umpire may order depositions and interrogatories upon a showing of need. It is the parties’ intent that the discovery proceedings be conducted in a cost-effective manner.

19.5

PLACE OF ARBITRATION

The home office of the Ceding Company.

19.6

ARBITRATION COSTS

Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party will bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including any outside attorney or witness fees.

19.7

ARBITRATION SETTLEMENT

The decision of a majority of the Arbitration Panel shall be final and binding, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Federal Arbitration Act. The Arbitration Panel shall render its award in writing. The Arbitration Panel shall have no power to award consequential, special, or punitive damages. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrators will base their decision on the terms and conditions of this Agreement plus, as necessary, on the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry rather than solely on a strict interpretation of the applicable law or rules of evidence.

19.8

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the parties, prior to appointment of the Arbitration Panel, from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for provisional or interim measures or injunctive relief as may be necessary to safeguard the property or rights that are the subject matter of the arbitration. Once the Arbitration Panel has been selected, the Arbitration Panel shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear applications for such relief, except that any interim measures or injunctive relief ordered by the Arbitration Panel may be immediately and specifically enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the Confidentiality Section or any other privacy or confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, without limiting any other rights and remedies, the parties may seek an injunction either by applying to a court of competent jurisdiction or by applying to the Arbitration Panel, if such panel has been selected.

19.9

CONFIDENTIALITY OF ARBITRATION

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties or required by law, the parties, the Arbitration Panel, and XXXXX•U.S shall maintain the confidentiality of all documents, communications, proceedings, and awards provided, produced, or exchanged pursuant to an arbitration conducted under this Article.

ARTICLE 20 – DURATION OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement will be in effect for an indefinite period and may be terminated as to new reinsurance by the Reinsurer or Ceding Company giving ninety (90) days’ written notice of termination to the other party, sent by certified mail or overnight courier service (e.g. Federal Express). The day the notice is mailed to the other party’s Home Office, or, if the mail is not used, the day it is delivered to the other party’s Home Office or to an Officer of the other party will be the first day of the notice period. During the notice period, this Agreement will continue to operate in accordance with its terms.

The Reinsurer remains liable for all reinsured policies in force as of the date of the termination, until their natural expiration, unless the parties mutually decide otherwise or as specified otherwise in this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement will survive its termination to the extent necessary to carry out its purpose.

If the Reinsurer has made a Facultative offer prior to the termination date of this Agreement and the Ceding Company has accepted that Facultative offer before the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Reinsurer’s offer whichever comes later, the Reinsurer will be liable even if the effective date of the policy falls beyond the termination date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 21 – REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
