MODCO ACCOUNT

Section 8.01 Modco Account.

(a) As of the Effective Date, the Ceding Company shall (i) establish a modified coinsurance account (the “Modco Account”) on the books and records of the Ceding Company which shall consist of, collectively, a custody account established by the Ceding Company with The Bank of New York Mellon (as custodian of such custody account, the “Custodian”), a Quota Share allocation of the assets maintained by the Ceding Company in the Allianz Trust Account, a Quota Share allocation of the assets maintained by the Ceding Company in the portfolio of the Separate Account supporting the Ceding Company’s payment obligations with respect to the separate account fixed annuity contracts comprising the Reinsured Policies and (ii) deposit into the Modco Account the Recapture Assets. The Modco Account and the assets maintained therein will be owned and maintained by the Ceding Company and will be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. The assets maintained in the Modco Account shall be invested in and consist only of Permitted Assets, and the Permitted Assets shall be valued, for the purposes of this Agreement, according to their Statutory Carrying Value. In accordance with Iowa SAP, the Ceding Company elects to cede all capital gains and losses in respect of the assets maintained in the Modco Account to the Reinsurer on a gross basis.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, assets held in the Modco Account may be withdrawn by the Ceding Company at any time and shall be utilized and applied by the Ceding Company or any of its successors in interest by operation of law, including any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Ceding Company, without diminution because of insolvency on the part of the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, only for the following purposes:

(i) to reimburse the Ceding Company for the Quota Share of premiums which are returned to the owners of the Reinsured Policies because of cancellations of such Reinsured Policies;

(ii) to reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsured Liabilities paid pursuant to the provisions of the Reinsured Policies;

(iii) to pay any Weekly Settlement Amount, Monthly Settlement Amount, Quarterly Settlement Amount and other undisputed amounts due to the Ceding Company under this Agreement; and

(iv) to pay any Modco Adjustment due from the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer;

provided, however, that, other than withdrawals made by the Ceding Company for the purpose of effectuating the payment of the Weekly Settlement Amounts, Monthly Settlement Amounts, Quarterly Settlement Amounts and Modco Adjustments, the Ceding Company shall not withdraw funds from the Modco Account until the expiration of any payment period afforded the Reinsurer hereunder, and then only upon providing the Reinsurer with written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to such withdrawal.

(c) The Ceding Company shall promptly return to the Modco Account any assets withdrawn in excess of the actual amounts required in paragraphs (i) through (iv) immediately above or any amounts that are subsequently determined not to be due under such paragraphs (“Modco Excess Withdrawals”). The Ceding Company shall also pay interest on any Modco Excess Withdrawals at a rate determined in accordance with Section 17.02 from and including the date of withdrawal to but excluding the date on which the Modco Excess Withdrawal is returned to the Modco Account. Any Modco Excess Withdrawals shall be held by the Ceding Company or any successor in interest of the Ceding Company in trust for the benefit of the Reinsurer and shall at all times be maintained separate and apart from any assets of the Ceding Company, for the sole purposes described in paragraphs (i) through (iv) immediately above.

(d) Determinations of statutory impairments of assets maintained in the Modco Account shall be made by the Ceding Company and shall be (i) based upon the statutory rules and guidelines and the impairment policy used by the Ceding Company and its auditors for purposes of calculating statutory impairments reflected in the Ceding Company’s statutory financial statements and (ii) subject to consultation between the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company. The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer in writing if the Ceding Company determines that any assets maintained in the Modco Account have become impaired for purposes of determining Statutory Carrying Value. Such notice shall describe any such assets, the reason for the impairment and the effect on Statutory Carrying Value of such assets.

(e) The Reinsurer shall bear the administrative costs and expenses related to the establishment and maintenance of the Modco Account, including the fees of the Custodian to the extent relating to the Modco Account and the fees of any investment manager appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (including any sub-investment manager appointed in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement). The Ceding Company shall promptly forward to the Reinsurer any invoice it receives relating to such costs and expenses. On the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which it delivers such invoice to the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company shall authorize the withdrawal of the amount of such costs and expenses from the Modco Account; provided, that if such amount is greater than the Statutory Carrying Value of the assets in the Modco Account, then the Reinsurer shall pay the amount of such difference to the Ceding Company no later than eight (8) Business Days following the delivery of such invoice to the Reinsurer.

(f) The performance of the assets maintained in the Modco Account, including of all investment income paid or accrued, investment gains or losses, defaults and/or statutory impairments, will inure to the sole benefit or cost of the Reinsurer.

Section 8.02 Credit for Reinsurance. The Ceding Company shall own the Modco Account and the assets maintained therein, and the Reinsurer will not be required to provide reserve credit in respect of the Reinsured Liabilities ceded hereunder on a modified coinsurance basis. If a change in applicable law or Iowa SAP or interpretation thereof (a) requires reserve credit in respect of the Reinsured Liabilities ceded on a modified coinsurance basis hereunder to be obtained or (b) results in the Ceding Company not being able to treat the business ceded hereunder as qualifying for reinsurance accounting under Iowa SAP, then the parties shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that the Ceding Company receives credit on its statutory financial statements in its domiciliary State for the reinsurance provided hereunder or that the reinsurance hereunder qualifies for reinsurance accounting under Iowa SAP, as applicable. The Reinsurer shall take actions as reasonably necessary and, in its reasonable discretion, may elect among the methods available to it in ensuring that such reserve credit is obtained.

Section 8.03 Investment Management. Pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”), the Ceding Company has appointed Apollo Insurance Solutions Group LLC (formerly known as Athene Asset Management LLC) as investment manager to provide investment management services with respect to the assets maintained in the Modco Account (the “Investment Manager”). The Ceding Company shall not amend, modify or change the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, including the investment guidelines attached as an exhibit thereto, or remove or replace the Investment Manager without the prior written consent of the Reinsurer. If the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer agree to any amendments, modifications or changes to the investment guidelines relating to the assets maintained in the Modco Account, then the Ceding Company shall propose such changes in writing to the Investment Manager in accordance with the terms of the Investment Management Agreement. The Ceding Company shall not propose any additional limitations (including with respect to asset allocations) on the assets maintained in the Modco Account without the prior written consent of the Reinsurer. In the event that the Investment Manager is removed or resigns, the Ceding Company shall appoint a replacement investment manager as directed by the Reinsurer. The replacement investment manager shall accept its appointment by entering into an investment management agreement in a form acceptable to the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer, and substantially similar to the Investment Management Agreement.

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer further agree that in the event of the termination of this Agreement, any such records in the possession of the Reinsurer shall promptly be duplicated and forwarded to the Ceding Company unless otherwise instructed.

(b) The Ceding Company shall establish and maintain an adequate system of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting relating to the Reinsured Policies and the Separate Account, including associated documentation, and shall make such documentation available for examination and inspection by the Reinsurer.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 13.01 Negotiation.

(a) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Reinsurer or the Ceding Company has given the other party written notification of a specific dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each party will appoint a designated officer of its company to attempt to resolve such dispute. The officers will meet at a mutually agreeable time and location as soon as reasonably possible and as often as reasonably necessary in order to gather and furnish the other with all appropriate and relevant information concerning the dispute. Any such meetings may be held by telephone or video conference. The officers will discuss the matter in dispute and will negotiate in good faith without the necessity of formal arbitration proceedings. During the negotiation process, all reasonable requests made by one officer to the other for information will be honored. The specific format for such discussions will be decided by the designated officers.

(b) If the officers cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of their first meeting, the dispute will be submitted to formal arbitration pursuant to Section 13.02, unless the parties agree in writing to extend the negotiation period for an additional thirty (30) calendar days.

Section 13.02 Arbitration; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) It is the intention of the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company that the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry will be given full effect in the operation and interpretation of this Agreement. If the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company cannot mutually resolve a dispute that arises out of or relates to this Agreement, including the validity of this Agreement, and the dispute cannot be resolved through the negotiation process, then the dispute will be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.02.

(b) To initiate arbitration, either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer will notify the other party by certified mail of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of the dispute and the remedy sought.

(c) Any arbitration pursuant to this Section 13.02 will be conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators who will be current or former officers of life insurance or reinsurance companies other than the parties to this Agreement, their Affiliates or subsidiaries, or other professionals with experience in life insurance or reinsurance; provided, that such professionals shall not have performed services for either party or its Affiliates within the previous five (5) years. Each of the arbitrators will be familiar with the prevailing customs and practices for reinsurance in the life insurance and reinsurance industry in the United States. Each of the parties will appoint one arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed will select the third arbitrator who shall be independent and impartial. If either party refuses or fails to appoint an arbitrator within sixty (60) calendar days after the other party has given written notice to such party of its arbitrator appointment, the party that has given notice may appoint the second arbitrator. If the two (2) arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be selected by the XXXXX-U.S. Umpire Selection Procedure (available at xxx.XXXXX-XX.xxx), subject to the arbitrator qualification requirements of this paragraph.

(d) Each arbitration hearing under this Agreement will be held on the date set by the arbitrators at a mutually agreed upon location. In no event will this date be later than six (6) months after the appointment of the third arbitrator. As soon as possible, the arbitrators will establish arbitration procedures as warranted by the facts and issues of the particular case. Notwithstanding Section 17.17, the arbitration and this Section 13.02 shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code.

(e) The arbitrators will base their decision on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industries rather than on strict interpretation of the law. The decision of the arbitrators will be made by majority rule and will be final and binding on both parties, unless (i) the decision was procured by corruption, fraud or other undue means; (ii) there was evident partiality by an arbitrator or corruption in any of the arbitrators or misconduct prejudicing the rights of any party; or (iii) the arbitrators exceeded their powers. Subject to the preceding sentence, neither party may seek judicial review of the decision of the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall enter an award which shall do justice between the parties and the award shall be supported by written opinion. The parties agree that the federal courts in the State of Iowa, or the State courts of such State, have jurisdiction to hear any matter relating to compelling arbitration or enforcing the judgment of an arbitral panel, and the parties hereby consent to such jurisdiction. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of such venue, or any claim that a proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. In addition, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer hereby consent to service of process out of such courts at the addresses set forth in Section 17.06.

(f) Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party will bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and any outside attorney and witness fees. The parties will jointly bear the expense of the third arbitrator.

(g) Waiver of Trial by Jury. THE REINSURER AND THE CEDING COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE XIV

INSOLVENCY

Section 14.01 Insolvency.

(a) A party to this Agreement will be deemed “insolvent” when it:

(i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator or statutory successor (the “Authorized Representative”) of its properties or assets;

(ii) is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) files or consents to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, seeks reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or takes advantage of any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, rehabilitation, conservation or similar Law; or

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

(c) Insolvency of the Ceding Company. In the event of the insolvency, liquidation or rehabilitation of the Ceding Company or the appointment of a liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding Company, the reinsurance coverage provided hereunder shall be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Ceding Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company for the Reinsured Liabilities without diminution because of such insolvency, liquidation, rehabilitation or appointment or because such liquidator, receiver or statutory successor has failed to pay any claims or any portion thereof. In any such event, the reinsurance being provided hereunder shall be payable immediately upon demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against the Ceding Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. In any such event, the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of each claim against the Ceding Company with respect to such Reinsured Liabilities within a reasonable time after each such claim is filed in the insolvency, liquidation or rehabilitation proceeding. During the pendency of any such claims, the Reinsurer may, at its own expense, investigate such claim and interpose in the proceeding in which such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses that the Reinsurer may reasonably deem available to the Ceding Company or its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. For the avoidance of doubt, 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 restructuring of the Reinsured Policies, in each case, that are not otherwise expressly covered by this Agreement.

(b) For each taxable year under this Agreement, the party hereto with the net positive consideration, as defined in the regulations promulgated under Section 848 of the Code, will capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of Section 848(c)(1) of the Code;

(c) The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net consideration under this Agreement each year to ensure consistency or as otherwise required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations;

(e) The Reinsurer will submit to the Ceding Company by May 15 each year its calculation of the amount of the net consideration for the preceding calendar year. This schedule of calculations will be accompanied by a statement that the Reinsurer will report such amount of net consideration in its tax return for the preceding calendar year;

(f) The Ceding Company may contest such calculation by providing an alternative calculation to the Reinsurer in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the Ceding Company’s receipt of the Reinsurer’s calculation. If the Ceding Company does not so notify the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company will report the amount of net consideration as determined by the Reinsurer in the Ceding Company’s tax return for the previous calendar year;

(g) If the Ceding Company contests the Reinsurer’s calculation of the amount of net consideration, the parties will act in good faith to reach an agreement as to the correct amount within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the Ceding Company submits its alternative calculation.

Section 15.03 FATCA. Both the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company agree to provide all information necessary to comply (or permit the other Party to comply) with Sections 1471 - 1474 of the Code (“FATCA”) and any regulations or other guidance issued pursuant thereto and any information necessary for the Reinsurer or the Ceding Company to enter into an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the 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.

(ii) “Initial Year Capitalization Amount” shall mean the amount of general deductions the Ceding Company is required to capitalize and amortize under the provisions of Section 848 of the Code in the Effective Tax Year as a result of receiving the Initial Year Net Positive Consideration, taking into account (i) any amount permitted to be amortized in the Effective Tax Year, (ii) the status of each Reinsured Policy as a “specified insurance contract” as defined in Section 848(e) of the Code, and (iii) any other

relevant facts, computed on a “with and without” basis, taking into account all other consideration received or paid by the Ceding Company for the Effective Tax Year. For the avoidance of doubt, the “with and without” calculation shall be performed by comparing the amount required to be capitalized for the Effective Tax Year to the amount that would have been required to be capitalized if the Recapture Amendment and related transactions not occurred.

(iii) “Initial Year Tax Cost” shall mean the amount of additional federal income Tax the Ceding Company is actually required to pay for the Effective Tax Year as a result of being required to capitalize the Initial Year Capitalization Amount, computed on a “with and without” basis. The “with and without” calculation shall be performed (i) by comparing the amount of federal income Tax the Ceding Company is actually required to pay for the Effective Tax Year to the amount of federal income Tax the Ceding Company would actually be required to pay for the Effective Tax Year if the Recapture Amendment and related transactions had not occurred and (ii) by disregarding any carryforward of net operating loss from any tax year prior to the Effective Tax Year.

(iv) In addition, the Ceding Company shall deliver supporting information reasonably necessary for the Reinsurer to review the calculations of the foregoing.

(b) The parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding the calculation set forth in Section 15.04(a).

(c) The Reinsurer shall pay to the Ceding Company the lesser of (i) the Initial Year Tax Cost and (ii) five hundred fifty thousand dollars ($550,000), which payment shall be made as part of the first monthly settlement under Section 7.03(b) following the resolution of any disagreements as to the amount of Initial Year Tax Cost (or notification by Reinsurer it has no disagreement with the amount proposed).
