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

ARTICLE III
REINSURANCE COVERAGE
Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to those Plans of Insurance and
Riders set forth in Schedule A that also fall within a category of policies
eligible for reinsurance under this Agreement as described in Schedule F. Such
reinsurance shall be either on an automatic basis, subject to the requirements
set forth in Section A below, on an automatic processing basis, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section B below, or on a facultative basis, subject to
the requirements set forth in Section C below. The specifications for all
reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule B.
Once coverage is reinsured on a life under this Agreement, unless the Reinsurer
consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, the Ceding Company or
its affiliate shall continue to retain its share of each risk on that life, as
described in this Agreement and in any other life reinsurance agreement
applicable to risk on that life. Any changes to the Ceding Company's retention,
and any resulting effect on the Automatic Binding Limits, as specified in
Exhibit II, shall be made by amendment to this Agreement, in accordance with
Section I.B.
Each reinsured risk must be issued with a suicide and contestable period equal
to the minimum of (a) two (2) years, (b) the maximum period allowed by
applicable law, or (c) a period agreed to in writing by the Reinsurer.
A. Automatic Reinsurance
For each risk under the policies that meets the requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance as set forth below, the Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance
pool whereby the Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the risk as
indicated in Schedule B ("Automatic Pool"). The requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance are as follows:
1. Each life, at the time of application, must:
a. have been a legal resident of the United States or Canada for at
least six months;
b. be a citizen of the United States or Canada; or
c. qualify for the Foreign National Underwriting Program as specified
in Schedule C.
2. Each risk must be underwritten according to the Ceding Company's Standard
Underwriting Practices and Guidelines or one of the special underwriting
programs. The Ceding Company's Standard Underwriting Practices and Guidelines as
of the Effective Date are described in Schedule E, and the Ceding Company's
special underwriting programs as of the Effective Date are described in Schedule
C or Schedule D. Changes to such documents will be handled in accordance with
Section XXII.L.

If the Ceding Company would like to offer coverage at a risk class more
favorable than the True Assessed Risk Class, the Ceding Company may:
a. Reinsure the risk automatically under this Agreement with the
Reinsurance Premium based on the True Assessed Risk Class; or
b. Seek to reinsure the risk facultatively under this Agreement at rates
more favorable than the True Assessed Risk Class; or
c. Decide not to reinsure the risk under this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, "True Assessed Risk Class" shall mean the risk
class assessed by the Ceding Company prior to any adjustments made as a result
of the Ceding Company's Enhanced Standard or similar special underwriting
program.
3. For any risk that is not an Excess Risk, if the Ceding Company submitted any
risk on a life of a proposed insured facultatively to the Reinsurer during the
last three (3) years:
a. for reinsurance capacity, then the Ceding Company shall confirm the
Reinsurer's available capacity for such risk. Upon receipt of the
request, the Reinsurer shall advise the Ceding Company of its
available capacity for the life on the same or next following
business day. After the Reinsurer has advised the Ceding Company of
its available capacity, provided all the other requirements for
Automatic Reinsurance under this Agreement are met, the Ceding
Company may cede to the Reinsurer no more than such amount on an
automatic basis; or
b. for reasons other than reinsurance capacity, and the Reinsurer's
assessment of the risk so submitted was:
(1) the same as, or more favorable than, the Ceding Company's
assessment at that time, then, provided all the other requirements
for Automatic Reinsurance under this Agreement are met, the Ceding
Company may cede the risk under this Agreement on an automatic
basis at its True Assessed Risk Class; or
(2) less favorable than the Ceding Company's assessment at that time,
then, provided all the other requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance under this Agreement are met, the Ceding Company may
provisionally cede the risk under this Agreement on an automatic
basis at its True Assessed Risk Class, provided the Ceding Company
then submits the risk to the Reinsurer for review in accordance
with Section V.E;
otherwise, provided all the other requirements for Automatic Reinsurance under
this Agreement are met, the Ceding Company shall cede the risk under this
Agreement on an automatic basis.
For any risk that is an Excess Risk, if any risk on the life of a proposed
insured was previously submitted by the Ceding Company on a facultative basis to
the Reinsurer or to any other reinsurer, at least three (3) years must have
elapsed since that previous risk was submitted facultatively, unless the
original reason for submitting
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
5
facultatively no longer applies.
4. The maximum issue age for each life is 85. For Last Survivor policies, the
minimum issue age is 18, for all other policies, the minimum age is 0.
5. The mortality rating on each life does not exceed Table P. However, for Last
Survivor policies, one life may be uninsurable if the other life does not exceed
Table F.
6. The total amount of risk on that life to be reinsured in the Automatic Pool
and under any other individual life reinsurance agreement with any reinsurer
does not exceed the Automatic Binding Limit for that life shown in Exhibit II.
7. For any Excess Risk, the total amount of insurance on each life, in force
and applied for in all companies does not exceed the Jumbo Limits as set forth
in Exhibit II. For any such life, the total amount of insurance in force
includes any amount(s) to be replaced. For the Ceding Company's in-force and
applied-for policies on such life, this total amount of insurance includes all
scheduled increases in amount of insurance on such policies.
Any amounts of insurance being replaced by the Ceding Company may be deducted
from this total amount of insurance only under the following conditions:
a. Existing permanent insurance is being replaced by the Ceding
Company, with or without a Section 1035 exchange, and the Ceding
Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment of the
insurance being replaced; or
b. Existing term insurance is being replaced by the Ceding Company, and
the Ceding Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment
of the insurance being replaced; or
c. An internal replacement is being made, where the Ceding Company is
replacing an in-force policy with a new policy of equal or greater
death benefit.
When the total amount of insurance to be compared with the applicable Jumbo
Limit is reduced due to the above conditions, the Ceding Company assumes full
responsibility to effect the cancellation of coverage under the replaced policy
concurrently with the commencement of coverage under the new policy. The
Reinsurer will have no liability for reinsurance coverage on the new policy
while both coverages are in effect and shall refund to the Ceding Company all
related Reinsurance Premiums for the new policy. However, if reinsurance on the
new policy is declined for this reason and the cancellation of coverage under
the replaced policy is later effected during the lifetime of the insured, then,
upon receipt of the Ceding Company's written notice to this effect, the
Reinsurer will again become liable for reinsurance coverage on the new policy as
of the effective date of cancellation of coverage under the replaced policy, and
Reinsurance Premiums for the new policy will again be payable from that
effective date of cancellation.

8. The Ceding Company, or its affiliates, accepts its full retention on each
life, as described in this Agreement, taking into account concurrently issued
amounts and all other inforce policies with the Ceding Company, applicable to
risk on that life.
9. To the best of the Ceding Company's knowledge, the policy is not a
stranger-owned life insurance policy (STOLI) or purchased as part of a premium
financing program, except for those programs specified in Schedule E or approved
in writing by the Reinsurer.
10. If all the other requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met and the
life is a player or coach on a team in the National Hockey League, the National
Football League, the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball,
and:
a. The risk is not an Excess Risk, then the Ceding Company shall notify
the Reinsurer of this fact at the time of issue of the risk; or
b. The risk is an Excess Risk, then, prior to ceding the risk
automatically under this Agreement, the Ceding Company must confirm
the Reinsurer's available capacity for that risk. The Ceding Company,
by telephone call or electronic mail, shall: (i) notify the
Reinsurer's Chief Underwriter, or designee, of the life's name, date
of birth, sport and team affiliation, the total life insurance in
force and to be placed on the life, and the amount of new reinsurance
coverage required from the Reinsurer; and (ii) confirm that an
application for insurance on the life has been completed. The
Reinsurer shall endeavor to inform the Ceding Company of its
available capacity for the risk within two business days after such
notification and confirmation. After the Reinsurer has advised the
Ceding Company of the amount of its available capacity, the Ceding
Company may then cede to the Reinsurer no more than that amount on an
automatic basis under this Agreement.
B. Automatic Processing
If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met for a life except for the
requirement stated above in Section A.6, but the total amount of risk on that
life to be reinsured in the Automatic Pool and under any other individual life
reinsurance agreement with any reinsurer does not exceed the Automatic
Processing Limit for that life shown in Exhibit II, then the Ceding Company may
submit to the Lead Reinsurer (designated in Schedule B) all information relating
to the insurability of that life. For Last Survivor policies where one life is
deemed uninsurable, only the information for the other life needs to be
submitted.
The Lead Reinsurer shall review the submitted information to determine if the
life should be reinsured by the Automatic Pool and, if so, on what basis. The
Lead Reinsurer shall endeavor to provide the Ceding Company with a response
within 72 hours of receipt of such information. Approval by the Lead Reinsurer
shall be binding on all other current Automatic Pool reinsurers. This process
shall be known as Automatic Processing and shall be subject to Exhibit II.
Hereinafter, all references to Automatic Reinsurance, coverage automatically
reinsured, and the Automatic Pool will include coverage reinsured through
Automatic Processing.

C. Facultative Reinsurance
If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are not met and the Ceding Company
applies for Facultative Reinsurance with the Reinsurer, or if the requirements
for Automatic Reinsurance are met but the Ceding Company prefers to apply for
Facultative Reinsurance with the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company shall submit
to the Reinsurer sufficient evidence agreed upon between the Ceding Company and
the Reinsurer, relating to the insurability of each life submitted for
Facultative Reinsurance. For Last Survivor policies where one life is deemed
uninsurable, only the information for the other life needs to be submitted.
The Reinsurer shall promptly notify the Ceding Company of its declination to
offer, its underwriting offer subject to additional requirements, or its final
underwriting offer. The final underwriting offer will automatically expire upon
the earliest of: (1) the date the policy application is withdrawn; (2) the
expiration date specified in the final offer; (3) the date one hundred twenty
(120) days after the date of the final offer; and (4) the date a final offer is
accepted and coverage is placed.
Once the Ceding Company has notified the Reinsurer in writing of its acceptance
of the Reinsurer's final underwriting offer, then Facultative Reinsurance for
the risk under this Agreement will become effective as described below in
Section IV.B.
ARTICLE IV
LIABILITY FOR REINSURANCE
A. The Reinsurer's liability for Automatic Reinsurance will begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability but in no event prior to the
Effective Date.
B. The Reinsurer's liability for Facultative Reinsurance coverage will begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability once the Reinsurer has
accepted the application for Facultative Reinsurance and the Ceding Company has
accepted the Reinsurer's final underwriting offer, as described in Section
III.C.
C. In no event shall reinsurance be in force and binding if the issuance and
delivery of such insurance constituted the doing of business in a jurisdiction
in which the Ceding Company knowingly was not properly licensed.
D. The Reinsurer's liability for coverage under the Ceding Company's
conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement, whichever the Ceding
Company uses (a sample copy of which is included as Exhibit VI and, for the
purpose of this Section D, hereinafter called the "Insurance Receipt"), is
limited to the amount the Reinsurer would reinsure under this Agreement on an
Automatic Reinsurance basis (whether the risk qualifies for Automatic
Reinsurance or not) if the coverage under the policy applied for would have been
approved and issued, as limited by the terms of the Insurance Receipt, provided:
1. The Ceding Company has followed its normal cash-with-application procedures
for such coverage; and
2. The Ceding Company's True Assessed Risk Class does not exceed Table F (or a
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
8
combination of flat extra and table assessment equivalent to Table F) and was
not a decline (if it was a decline, the Reinsurer would have no liability for
such coverage except as described below in Paragraph 5); and
3. There is no coverage in effect on the life in the Automatic Pool through any
other Insurance Receipt having an effective date preceding, or the same as, the
effective date of such coverage; and
4. If such coverage is on a risk that also exceeds either the Automatic Binding
Limit or the Jumbo Limit for the risk as shown in Exhibit II, then the
Reinsurer's liability for such excess amount of coverage will be limited by the
Reinsurer's available capacity; and
5. If the Ceding Company has accepted any final underwriting offer(s) for
Facultative Reinsurance on the risk (whether such offer is made by the
Reinsurer, as described above in Section III.C, or by any other reinsurer(s)),
then the Reinsurer's liability for such coverage under the Insurance Receipt
will be equal to:
a. The amount of coverage in effect under the terms of the Insurance
Receipt; multiplied by
b. The proportion equal to the amount of Facultative Reinsurance
included in the Reinsurer's final underwriting offer that is accepted
by the Ceding Company, divided by the total amount of the risk to be
issued by the Ceding Company.
The Reinsurer's liability for coverage under the Insurance Receipt shall
terminate simultaneously with the termination of the Ceding Company's liability
under the Insurance Receipt.
E. The Reinsurer's liability for reinsurance on each risk will terminate when
the Ceding Company's liability terminates, unless it terminates earlier as
specified otherwise in this Agreement.
F. The liability of each reinsurer in the Automatic Pool shall be separate and
not joint with the other pool reinsurers. In no way will the liability of the
Reinsurer be increased by reason of the inability of the Ceding Company to
collect from any other reinsurers, whether specific or general, any amounts
which may be due from them, whether such inability arises from insolvency of
such other reinsurers or otherwise.
G. Notwithstanding Section III.A.9, the Reinsurer shall be liable for any
stranger-owned life insurance (STOLI) or premium-financed cases that are
undisclosed or misrepresented to the Ceding Company and that are discovered
after a risk has been made effective, unless and until such risk is successfully
rescinded under Article X.H.

ARTICLE V
UNDERWRITING
A. For new business written by the Ceding Company that meets the requirements
for Automatic Reinsurance, the Ceding Company intends to underwrite applications
for such business as if the business were to be fully retained by the Ceding
Company. Such business shall be underwritten according to the underwriting
practices and guidelines described in Schedules C, D, or E, as applicable.
The underwriting practices and professional judgment used by the Ceding Company
in arriving at a risk assessment may not agree entirely with the underwriting
practices customarily used by, or the professional judgment of, the Reinsurer
under similar circumstances.
B. For any risk ceded automatically under this Agreement, the Ceding Company
shall provide to the Reinsurer all information in its possession, reasonably
requested by the Reinsurer that was used in underwriting and assessing the risk.
This information to be provided to the Reinsurer may be transmitted using any
medium agreed upon by the Parties; a valid copy of the information shall satisfy
this purpose.
This information shall be delivered to the Reinsurer within thirty (30) calendar
days after the Ceding Company receives the request for the information, unless
an alternative delivery period is agreed upon by the Parties.
C. For any risk reviewed by the Reinsurer where the Reinsurer's assessment of
the risk differs materially from that of the Ceding Company, the Parties shall
work together in good faith to develop a mutually agreeable risk assessment that
shall be used to calculate the Reinsurance Premiums for that risk from the
beginning of the Reinsurer's liability for such risk under this Agreement. If
the Parties cannot settle on a mutually agreeable risk assessment within a
reasonable time period, they shall submit the risk for expedited arbitration
under Article XIX. If the expedited arbitration process determines that the risk
should have been declined, the Reinsurer will have no liability for such risk.
D. Any unintentional or accidental failure of the Ceding Company to adhere to
the underwriting practices and guidelines described in Schedule C, D, or E, as
applicable, in the assessment of risks, resulting from an oversight or clerical
error by the Ceding Company shall not be grounds for denying reinsurance
coverage on a risk. In such cases, the Parties shall work together in good faith
to develop a mutually agreeable risk assessment that shall be used to calculate
the Reinsurance Premiums for that risk from the beginning of the Reinsurer's
liability for such risk under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
grossly negligent acts, of the Ceding Company, recurring material errors or
material errors that are part of a pattern evidencing a disregard for the
underwriting practices and guidelines described in Schedules C, D, or E, as
applicable, may be grounds for denying reinsurance coverage on a risk.
E. For any risk provisionally ceded in accordance with Section III.A.3.b (2),
the Ceding Company shall submit the risk to the Reinsurer for review as soon as
the coverage is placed. If the Reinsurer's assessment of the risk is:
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
10
1. not more than two rating tables less favorable than the Ceding Company's
assessment, then:
a. the Reinsurer shall accept the risk automatically at the Ceding
Company's True Assessed Risk Class; and
b. this submission of the risk to the Reinsurer will not be considered a
facultative submission for any future risks on the proposed
insured(s); or
2. more than two rating tables less favorable than the Ceding Company's
assessment but still currently insurable (that is, not a "decline" or "postpone"
assessment), then:
a. the Ceding Company may either:
(1) accept the Reinsurer's risk assessment to calculate the
Reinsurance Premiums for the risk from the beginning of the
Reinsurer's liability for the risk under this Agreement; or
(2) decide not to reinsure the risk under this Agreement; and
b. this submission of the risk to the Reinsurer will be considered a
facultative submission for any future risks on the proposed
insured(s); or
3. not currently insurable (that is, a "decline" or "postpone" assessment),
then:
a. the risk shall not be reinsured under this Agreement; and
b. this submission of the risk to the Reinsurer will be considered a
facultative submission for any future risks on the proposed
insured(s).
ARTICLE VI
REINSURANCE PREMIUMS
A. Computation
Reinsurance Premiums under this Agreement shall be calculated as described in
Exhibit I.
B. Timing
Reinsurance Premiums are payable each month of coverage for reinsured risks in
force at the end of the preceding month. For newly reinsured risks with a
reinsurance effective date during the current month, the monthly Reinsurance
Premium for the first month of coverage will be payable in the next following
monthly statement.
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
11
C. Extended Policy Maturity
If the maturity date of a reinsured policy is extended in accordance with the
policy, the death benefit under the policy will continue to be payable as
provided in the policy, and the reinsurance under this Agreement will remain in
effect on the same terms as before the policy's original maturity date.
D. Unearned Reinsurance Premiums
The Reinsurer will refund to the Ceding Company all unearned Reinsurance
Premiums, less applicable allowances, arising from policy conversions, other
changes, and terminations described in Article X. If termination is due to
lapse, surrender or conversion, unearned Reinsurance Premium will be determined
as of the effective date of termination of the policy. If termination is due to
death, unearned Reinsurance Premium will be determined as of the date of death.
E. Guaranteed Rates
The Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk set forth in Exhibit
III are guaranteed. The Allowance Percentages set forth in Exhibit IV are also
guaranteed, except to the extent that the Reinsurer may adjust the Allowance
Percentages but only in an amount required to ensure that the Reinsurer receives
its proportionate share of any increases in premium rates, policy charges
including cost of insurance rates, or administrative fees as implemented by the
Ceding Company for the reinsured policies.
The Reinsurer will establish statutory reserves for business reinsured under
this Agreement in its statutory financial statements in accordance with
applicable accounting and valuation laws, regulations and actuarial guidelines
to which the Reinsurer is subject. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reinsurer
intends to hold statutory reserves for business reinsured under this Agreement
on a 1/24 cx basis using the 2001 CSO Sex and Smoker Distinct Ultimate Table and
the prevailing statutory interest rate.
If the reserve methodology used by the Reinsurer on the Effective Date must be
modified due to a change in law or regulation or a change in a regulator's
interpretation or application of existing law or regulation (hereinafter a
"Reserve Methodology Change Event"), then the Reinsurer will notify the Ceding
Company of the occurrence of the Reserve Methodology Change Event within one
hundred eighty (180) days after first learning of such event, and the Reinsurer
will have the right to transfer this Agreement to an affiliate reinsurer not
subject to U.S. insurance laws, provided that:
1. The Ceding Company is able to take Reinsurance Credit as provided in Article
VIII; and
2. The affiliate reinsurer accepts transfer of this Agreement (including all
amendments) by novation, without any material modification to the substantive
terms of the Agreement except as necessary to enable the Ceding Company to take
Reinsurance Credit in accordance with Article VIII (notwithstanding the terms of
Article XIV, if the Reinsurer novates this Agreement to an entity that is not
subject to United States taxation, the joint DAC Tax Election under Article XIV
shall be invalid for consideration received after the date of the novation); and
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
12
3. The transfer by novation to the affiliate reinsurer does not result in
the payment of any United States tax by the Ceding Company; and
4. The affiliate reinsurer has, at the time of the transfer, a Xxxxx'x or
Standard & Poor's rating equivalent to the Reinsurer's on the execution
date of this Agreement, or the Reinsurer provides a performance
guarantee to the Ceding Company, issued by the Reinsurer or by an
affiliate with, at the time of the transfer, a Xxxxx'x or Standard &
Poor's rating equivalent to the Reinsurer's on the execution date of
this Agreement; any such performance guarantee will apply only to
amounts reinsured under this Agreement, including reasonable costs of
collection, enforcement of the performance guarantee, and interest
thereon, and will terminate automatically if and when the affiliate
reinsurer subsequently obtains a Xxxxx'x or Standard & Poor's rating
equivalent to the Reinsurer's on the execution date of this Agreement;
and
5. If the Reserve Methodology Change Event is due to a change in a
regulator's interpretation or application of existing law or
regulation, the Reinsurer provides documentation to the Ceding Company
showing details of the change in interpretation and a demonstration of
the Reinsurer's application of such change to business retained by the
Reinsurer.
In the event of a novation under this Section, the Parties shall amend this
Agreement in accordance with Article I.B to reflect the mutually agreed upon
terms applicable to such transfer. Such terms shall include, but shall not be
limited to, provisions regarding Credit for Reinsurance, Service of Suit and
Federal Excise Tax, as applicable.
F. Payment of Reinsurance Premiums
The Net Reinsurance Premium Balance payable each month equals the sum of the
Reinsurance Premiums described above in Section A, minus the sum of any unearned
Reinsurance Premiums described above in Section D. For any month, this net
balance may be positive (greater than zero) or negative.
Any positive Net Reinsurance Premium Balance for a month is payable to the
Reinsurer. The Ceding Company shall forward this balance to the Reinsurer by its
due date, which is thirty (30) days after the close of the calendar month.
The absolute value of any negative Net Reinsurance Premium Balance for a month
is payable to the Ceding Company. The Reinsurer shall forward this balance to
the Ceding Company by its due date, which is thirty (30) days after the Ceding
Company submits the statement for that month.
G. Overpayment of Reinsurance Premiums
If the Ceding Company overpays a Net Reinsurance Premium Balance and the
Reinsurer accepts the overpayment, the Reinsurer's acceptance of the overpayment
will not constitute or create an additional reinsurance liability, and it will
not result in any additional reinsurance. Instead, the Reinsurer shall be liable
to the Ceding Company for a credit in the amount of the overpayment without
interest.
H. Underpayment of Reinsurance Premiums
If the Ceding Company fails to make a full payment of the Net Reinsurance
Premium
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
13
Balance, due to an Error defined in Article IX, the amount of reinsurance
coverage provided by the Reinsurer on the risks related to such underpayment
shall not be reduced. However, once the underpayment is discovered by one Party
and the other Party is notified of the underpayment, the Ceding Company shall
promptly pay to the Reinsurer the difference between the full payment amount and
the amount actually paid. If payment of the full amount of the underpayment is
not made within sixty (60) days after the discovery of the underpayment, the
underpayment shall be treated as delinquent premium and subject to the
conditions listed below in Section I.
The Reinsurer reserves the right to charge the Ceding Company interest on the
amount of the underpayment, even if it becomes delinquent as described below in
Section I. Such interest will accrue from the due date of the underpaid Net
Reinsurance Premium Balance and be computed as described in Section XXII.P.
I. Termination of Reinsurance for Nonpayment of Reinsurance Premiums
If undisputed Reinsurance Premiums for one or more reinsured risks are
delinquent, the Reinsurer has the right to terminate its reinsurance liability
on those risks by giving the Ceding Company ninety (90) days advance written
notice of termination. This notice shall list the risks and the amount of the
delinquent Reinsurance Premium for each risk. If the delinquent Reinsurance
Premiums have not been paid to the Reinsurer as of the end of such notice
period, the Reinsurer's liability will terminate for the risks described in the
termination notice at the end of such notice period.
If the Reinsurer's liability on one or more of the Ceding Company's risks is
terminated because of nonpayment of Reinsurance Premiums, the Ceding Company
will continue to be liable to the Reinsurer after the termination for all unpaid
Reinsurance Premiums earned up to the date of such termination.
The Ceding Company shall not force termination under the provisions of this
Section I solely to avoid the recapture requirements or to transfer the block of
business reinsured to another reinsurer.
J. Reinstatement of Reinsurance Terminated for Nonpayment of Reinsurance
Premiums
The Ceding Company may reinstate reinsurance on risks terminated in accordance
with Section I within sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination by
paying the unpaid Reinsurance Premiums for the risks inforce prior to the
termination. However, the Reinsurer will not be liable for any claim incurred
between the date of termination and the date of reinstatement. The effective
date of reinstatement will be the date the required unpaid Reinsurance Premiums
are received by the Reinsurer.
ARTICLE VII

For Automatic and Facultative Reinsurance becoming effective during the calendar
month, the Ceding Company will notify the Reinsurer of such new reinsurance
business in the succeeding monthly report. However, the first three monthly
reports under this Agreement will be sent within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the due date of the first monthly report.
Additional reports reasonably requested by a Party will be provided by the other
Party in a timely manner.
B. Reporting Format and Medium
The information to be provided by the Ceding Company in these monthly reports to
the Reinsurer shall be in a format, and transmitted using a medium, mutually
agreeable to the Parties. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the
information to be provided by the Ceding Company in these monthly reports to the
Reinsurer shall be on a self-administered reporting basis as set out in Exhibit
VII.
The Ceding Company shall inform the Reinsurer at least one month in advance of
any change in the reporting format or data prior to its use in reports to the
Reinsurer. The Ceding Company shall provide the Reinsurer with a test file
containing such a change prior to its implementation in the production of
reports.
C. Reporting Delays
The Ceding Company shall inform the Reinsurer of any material delays.
ARTICLE VIII
CREDIT FOR REINSURANCE
X. Xxxxxxxxxxx Credit
The Parties intend that the Ceding Company be entitled to take credit for the
reinsurance ceded under this Agreement in its statutory financial statements
filed in all jurisdictions in which the Ceding Company is licensed, accredited,
or otherwise authorized to transact business ("Reinsurance Credit"). The Parties
shall use best efforts to ensure that such entitlement shall become and remain
available to the Ceding Company throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The amount of the Reinsurance Credit shall be determined by the Ceding Company
and shall include mortality risk reserves, unearned premium reserves, and
reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid losses for the reinsurance ceded
under this Agreement. Such amounts shall be calculated in accordance with
applicable accounting and valuation laws, regulations and actuarial guidelines
to which the Ceding Company is subject on each valuation date and shall take
into account the terms of this Agreement.
B. Reinsurer Representation
The Reinsurer represents to the Ceding Company that, as of the Effective Date of
the Agreement, it was properly licensed or accredited in all jurisdictions in
which the Ceding Company is licensed, accredited, or otherwise authorized to
transact insurance business, so
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
15
that the Reinsurance Credit shall be allowed. The Reinsurer shall notify the
Ceding Company, as a material communication under Article XXIII, immediately
upon learning of any change in, or loss of, such licensing or accreditation.
C. Security for Reinsurance Credit
If the Ceding Company believes in good faith it may not be entitled to claim
Reinsurance Credit, as described above, in total or in part, due to a change in
law or regulation, or due to a change in the interpretation or application of
existing law or regulation by a regulator (hereinafter an "Uncontrollable
Reserve Credit Event"), or due to a failure by the Reinsurer to maintain in
effect a required license or accreditation in any of the jurisdictions in which
the Ceding Company is licensed to transact insurance business (hereinafter a
"Controllable Reserve Credit Event"), then, subject to the Reinsurer's rights
and obligations to cure as defined in this Article, the Parties will take the
steps specified below in this Article.
The Party who first becomes aware of such event will provide prompt notice to
the other Party of the occurrence of either an Uncontrollable Reserve Credit
Event or a Controllable Reserve Credit Event (hereinafter collectively "Reserve
Credit Event").
Within fifteen (15) days of delivery of (if the delivering Party) or receipt of
(if the receiving Party) such notice, the Reinsurer shall propose to the Ceding
Company a cure to the Reserve Credit Event in a manner that eliminates the need
for or enables the Ceding Company to continue to receive Reinsurance Credit. The
Ceding Company may approve or disapprove the Reinsurer's cure proposal at its
sole discretion, except that the Ceding Company shall not deny unreasonably
disapprove any cure proposal presented by the Reinsurer as long as the proposed
cure meets all applicable laws and regulations regarding Reinsurance Credit and
does not require the payment of any United States tax by the Ceding Company.
Without limiting potential cure options, the Reinsurer's proposed cure may
include:
(i) 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) Modifying the settlement terms of this Agreement during the Reserve
Credit Event to provide for settlements on a funds-withheld basis
during the pendency of the Reserve Credit Event; or
(iii) Transferring the reinsurance provided under this Agreement to
another reinsurer by novation of this Agreement, provided that such
other reinsurer meets the Ceding Company's established reinsurer
credit criteria in place at the time of the transfer and that such
other reinsurer accepts transfer of this Agreement (including all
amendments thereto) by novation without any material modification
to the substantive terms of the Agreement (notwithstanding the
terms of Article XIV, if the Reinsurer novates this Agreement to an
entity that is not subject to United States taxation, then the
joint DAC Tax Election under Article XIV shall be invalid for
consideration received after the date of novation); or
(iv) The Reinsurer establishing and maintaining sufficient collateral,
the form of which may be a letter of credit or assets in trust or
some combination of the two, provided such collateral meets all
applicable laws and regulations regarding Reinsurance
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
16
Credit amending this Agreement accordingly and entering into
additional agreements as necessary; or
(v) Any combination of the foregoing or comparable approaches.
In the event the Parties agree upon a cure, the Parties shall amend this
Agreement, in accordance with Section I.B, to reflect the agreed-upon terms of
such cure.
If the Reinsurer cannot cure an Uncontrollable Reserve Credit Event, as set
forth above, but such Uncontrollable Reserve Credit Event can be cured by the
posting of collateral, within fifteen (15) days the Reinsurer shall establish
and maintain collateral, either a trust or a letter of credit, in a form which
meets all applicable standards of law and regulation to enable the Ceding
Company to claim Reinsurance Credit during the pendency of the Reserve Credit
Event. The Parties agree that in such an event, the cost of establishing and
maintaining the collateral will be shared equally by the Ceding Company and the
Reinsurer.
If the Reinsurer cannot cure a Controllable Reserve Credit Event, as set forth
above, but such Controllable Reserve Credit Event can be cured by the posting of
collateral, within fifteen (15) days the Reinsurer shall establish and maintain
collateral, either a trust or a letter of credit, in a form which meets all
applicable standards of law and regulation to enable the Ceding Company to claim
Credit during the pendency of the Reserve Credit Event. The Parties agree that
in such an event, the cost of establishing and maintaining the collateral will
be borne entirely by the Reinsurer.
If a Reserve Credit Event is not cured or the Reinsurer fails to establish or
maintain collateral as set forth above, then the Ceding Company may recapture
the Business Reinsured under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of
Article XVI. In no event shall recapture be construed to be the exclusive remedy
of the Ceding Company.
ARTICLE IX
ERRORS
Errors, omissions, oversights, delays or misunderstandings in the administration
of this Agreement (collectively "Error") by either Party, shall not invalidate
the reinsurance hereunder. As soon as reasonably possible after discovery,
notice shall be provided, the Error shall be rectified and both Parties shall be
restored, to the extent possible, to the position they would have occupied had
the Error not occurred.
However, if it is not reasonably possible to restore each Party to the position
it would have occupied if not for the Error, the Parties will endeavor in good
faith to promptly resolve the situation in a manner that is fair and reasonable,
and most closely approximates the intent of the Parties as evidenced by this
Agreement.
If either Party discovers that the Ceding Company has failed to correctly report
ceded reinsurance as provided in this Agreement, the Reinsurer may audit the
Ceding Company's records for other similar Errors. The Ceding Company is
expected to correct such Errors and to take reasonable actions to ensure that
similar Errors do not recur. If the Reinsurer receives no evidence that the
Ceding Company has taken reasonable actions to remedy such a situation, then the
Reinsurer reserves the right to limit its liability on risks not correctly
reported by providing thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Ceding
Company of its intention to limit its liability on such risks.

ARTICLE X
POLICY CONVERSIONS, OTHER CHANGES, AND TERMINATIONS
A. Conversions
A conversion is a policyholder's exercise of a contractual right to replace
in-force coverage with a new permanent policy without evidence of insurability.
Conversions from a policy reinsured under this Agreement will continue to be
reinsured under this Agreement as follows:
1. The converted coverage under the new policy will be reinsured with the
Reinsurer in the same proportion as was determined for the in-force coverage
converted; and
2. Reinsurance Premiums for such converted coverage shall be calculated on a
point-in-scale basis, utilizing the Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net
Amount at Risk as set forth in Exhibit III.
Conversions from a policy not reinsured under this Agreement shall not be
reinsured under this Agreement.
B. Increases and Decreases in Policy Face Amount
1. If the face amount of a policy reinsured under this Agreement increases and:
a. The increase is subject to full underwriting, then the provisions of
Article III shall apply to the increase in reinsurance and
Reinsurance Premiums for the increase shall be based on new-business
rates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after termination of this Agreement for
new business, any increases subject to full underwriting must be
submitted to the Reinsurer on a facultative obligatory basis, if, the
increase in face amount is in excess of one million dollars ($1
million); or
b. The increase is not subject to full underwriting, and:
(1) The policy was ceded automatically, and:
(a) The face amount after the increase does not exceed the
applicable Total Allocation Limit or if it does exceed the
applicable Total Allocation Limit, it does not exceed the
applicable Automatic Issue Limit, then the Reinsurer will
accept the increase; or
(b) The increase does not meet the requirement above in (a), then
the Reinsurer must consent to the increase; or
(2) The policy was ceded facultatively, then the Reinsurer must
consent to the increase.
Reinsurance Premiums for increases not subject to full underwriting shall be
calculated on a point-in-scale basis, utilizing the Annual Rates per $1,000 of
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
18
Reinsured Net Amount at Risk as set forth in Exhibit III.
For increases in accordance with B.1.b (1), the Ceding Company's retention and
the amount of risk ceded to the Reinsurer shall be determined for the increase
at the time the increase goes into effect, in accordance with Schedule B. For
increases in accordance with B.1.b (2), the Ceding Company's retention and the
amount of risk ceded to the Reinsurer shall be determined by mutual agreement of
the Parties.
2. If the face amount of a policy reinsured under this Agreement decreases and:
a. If the face amount of a policy that was previously increased is
subsequently decreased, the decrease will be applied first to the
increase with the latest effective date, and then to the increase
with the next earlier effective date, and so forth as necessary,
until applying any remaining decrease to the initial face amount of
the policy.
b. The Ceding Company's retention and the amount of risk ceded to the
Reinsurer shall be determined at the time the decrease goes into
effect, as follows:
(1) For decreases under policies ceded automatically, in accordance
with Schedule B; or
(2) For decreases under policies ceded facultatively, the amount of
the risk reinsured to the Reinsurer shall be reduced
proportionately.
C. Policy Exchanges and Other Changes
A policy exchange is a new policy replacing an existing policy where the new
policy is not fully underwritten. Reinsurance Premiums for exchanges from one
single life policy reinsured under this Agreement to a different single life
policy will be calculated on a point-in-scale basis using Annual Rates per
$1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk, as set forth in Exhibit III. Likewise,
Reinsurance Premiums for exchanges from one last survivor policy reinsured under
this Agreement to a different last survivor policy will be calculated on a
point-in-scale basis using Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at
Risk, as set forth in Exhibit III. Reinsurance Premiums for exchanges from a
last survivor policy reinsured under this Agreement with the Last Survivor
Exchange Option Rider or Twenty-Four (24) Month Exchange Rider to two single
life policies will be calculated at the applicable single life point-in-scale
Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk, as set forth in Exhibit
III. For each new policy after the exchange, the insurance will continue to be
reinsured by the Reinsurer in the same proportions as set at issue of the
original coverage.
If there is a contractual change in a policy reinsured under this Agreement that
is not subject to full underwriting, other than the changes described above in
Sections A and B, the insurance shall continue to be reinsured with the
Reinsurer in the same proportions as the original coverage and Reinsurance
Premiums for contractual changes shall be calculated on a point-in-scale basis,
utilizing the Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk as set
forth in Exhibit III.
The Ceding Company shall notify the Reinsurer of any such changes in policies
reinsured under this Agreement in its monthly reinsurance reports.
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
19
Exchanges made from a policy not reinsured under this Agreement shall not be
reinsured under this Agreement.
D. Policy Terminations and Lapses
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement terminates, the reinsurance for the
risk will terminate as of the effective date of policy termination. For a policy
terminated due to the expiry of any grace period for an unpaid amount, the
effective date of termination for such policy will be the date such unpaid
amount was first due.
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses to extended term insurance
under the terms of that policy, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured
policy will continue on the same basis as the original reinsurance until the
expiry of the extended term period.
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses to reduced paid-up insurance
under the terms of that policy, the amount of the corresponding reinsurance on
the reinsured policy will be reduced according to the terms of Section B.2 of
this Article.
If the Ceding Company allows a policy reinsured under this Agreement to remain
in force under its automatic premium loan provisions, the corresponding
reinsurance on the reinsured policy will continue unchanged and in force as long
as such provisions remain in effect, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.
E. Reduction in Retained Coverage on a Life
If any portion of the aggregate amount of insurance retained by the Ceding
Company or its affiliates on an individual life reduces or terminates, the
Ceding Company or its affiliates will recalculate its retention on any remaining
risk(s) in force on that life. The Ceding Company or its affiliates will not be
required to retain an amount in excess of its retention limit for the age,
mortality rating, and risk classification based on the applicable retention
limit that was in effect at the time of issue for any risk. Unless provided for
otherwise in the applicable reinsurance agreements, the Ceding Company or its
affiliates will first recalculate the retention on the risk(s) having the same
mortality rating as the terminated risk(s). Order of recalculation will
secondarily be determined by effective date of the risk, oldest first.
F. Multiple Reinsurers
If reinsurance of a risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, the Reinsurer's
percentage of any increased or reduced reinsurance will be the same as its
initial percentage of the reinsurance for that risk unless specified otherwise
in Schedule B or agreed upon by the Reinsurer.
G. Mortality Rating Changes
On Facultative Reinsurance, if the Ceding Company wishes to reduce the mortality
rating or otherwise improve the risk class, such change will be subject to the
Reinsurer's approval. On Automatic Reinsurance, the Reinsurer will accept this
change if the change qualifies under the underwriting practices and guidelines
described in Schedules C, D, or E, as applicable.
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008

H. Rescission of Policy Coverage Prior to Death Claim
1. If a misrepresentation, misstatement, or omission on an application results
in the Ceding Company's rescission of coverage, the Reinsurer shall refund to
the Ceding Company any Reinsurance Premiums it received on that coverage. This
refund shall be in lieu of any and all other reinsurance benefits payable on
that coverage under this Agreement.
2. The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer in the event a
rescission is challenged by legal action. The Ceding Company shall also furnish
all information material to such action.
Recognizing the urgent nature of these communications, within ten (10) business
days of receipt of such information, the Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding
Company in writing of the Reinsurer's decision whether or not it shall
participate in the legal and investigation expenses associated with the defense
of the rescission. The Reinsurer may extend the ten-day period by two (2)
additional business days by written notice to the Ceding Company, if such notice
is provided by the end of the initial ten-day period. If the Reinsurer does not
respond to the Ceding Company within the timeframe above, the Reinsurer will be
deemed to have elected to participate in the legal and investigation expenses
associated with the defense of the rescission.
3. If a rescission of policy coverage is reversed and the policy coverage is
restored to in-force status, any related reinsurance coverage under this
Agreement shall also be restored upon the Ceding Company's payment to the
Reinsurer of all applicable Reinsurance Premiums.
ARTICLE XI
POLICY REINSTATEMENT
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses or terminates, and is later
reinstated under the Ceding Company's terms and rules, the Reinsurer will
reinstate the reinsurance as follows:
A. Procedure to Reinstate Reinsurance
If the policy being reinstated was reinsured on an automatic basis under this
Agreement, or if the policy being reinstated was reinsured on a facultative
basis under this Agreement and the reinstatement occurs less than sixty (60)
days after the policy has lapsed or terminated, the reinsurance cession shall be
automatically reinstated.
If the policy being reinstated was reinsured on a facultative basis under this
Agreement and the reinstatement occurs sixty (60) days or more after the policy
has lapsed or terminated, copies of the application for reinstatement, any
personal declaration or medical examination, and any other underwriting
documents (collectively, "Underwriting Information") shall be forwarded by the
Ceding Company to the Reinsurer, together with the request for reinstatement of
the reinsurance. The Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding Company promptly of its
acceptance or declination of the request for reinstatement.
The Reinsurer reserves the right to request any available Underwriting
Information on any
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
21
reinstatement.
B. Cost to Reinstate Reinsurance
Upon reinstatement of reinsurance under this Article, the Ceding Company shall
pay the Reinsurer Reinsurance Premiums in the same manner as the Ceding Company
received corresponding policy charges under the policy for the period of lapse.
The Reinsurer reserves the right to charge the Ceding Company interest on such
Reinsurance Premiums in accordance with Section XXII.P.
C. Nonforfeiture Reinsurance Termination
If the Ceding Company reinstates a policy that is reinsured while under an
extended term or reduced paid-up nonforfeiture option, then reinsurance under
such nonforfeiture option will terminate upon policy reinstatement.
ARTICLE XII
CLAIMS
A. Liability for Claims
1. The Ceding Company is responsible for the settlement of claims on policies
reinsured under this Agreement. It is the Ceding Company's sole decision to
determine whether a claim is payable under a policy. The Ceding Company shall
operate in good faith and adjudicate claims on policies reinsured under this
Agreement as if there were no reinsurance. All claim settlements on policies
reinsured hereunder will be subject to the terms and conditions of the
particular policy and the applicable statutory requirements of the Ceding
Company. The Ceding Company's decision to pay a claim, provided the Ceding
Company has complied with the terms of this Agreement, shall be binding on the
Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for its portion of the reinsurance
on that risk, as described in Schedule B.
2. Ceding Company's Claims Practices Relating to Claims Investigations
It is the Ceding Company's sole decision to determine whether to investigate,
contest, compromise, or litigate a claim; however, the Ceding Company is
responsible for investigating, contesting, compromising or litigating reinsured
policy claims in accordance with applicable law and policy terms.
The Ceding Company acknowledges that it follows industry standards as of the
Effective Date and generally investigates claims with any of the following
criteria:
a. If the claim occurs within the contestable period as defined by the
reinsured policy; or
b. If there is a reasonable question regarding the validity of the
insured's death or the authenticity of the proof(s) of death; or
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
22
c. If the death occurs outside the United States or Canada; or
d. If the insured is missing or presumed dead; or
e. If there is a reasonable suspicion of fraud.
A claim investigation generally includes confirming proof of death, reviewing
medical records to validate the insured's medical disclosures, and, if deemed
appropriate, reviewing the insured's financial condition at the time of
application for coverage. Investigations may also include obtaining police
reports, coroners' reports, financial records, or other information that would
be appropriate under the circumstances.
The Ceding Company acknowledges that its general practice is to defend against a
claim if:
(i) A material omission or misrepresentation of fact is found in the
policy application; or
(ii) Fraud is found that can be proved; or
(iii) There is insufficient proof of death.
3. This Section A shall work in conjunction with Section D of this Article.
B. Notification of Claims
1. The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer when it is advised of
a death claim on coverage reinsured under this Agreement, but in any event, not
later than 12 months after the Ceding Company is advised of the claim.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the following types of claims on coverage
reinsured under this Agreement, the Ceding Company shall furnish the Reinsurer
with all information it has pertaining to the issuance of the coverage and to
the claim:
a. claims where the loss was incurred during the contestable period and
where the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk on the life exceeds and
b. claims for which either:
(1) the death reportedly occurred outside of the United States or
Canada; or
(2) the body of the insured has not been found -- that is, the insured
is reported missing and presumed dead.
The Reinsurer shall have six (6) business days to provide the Ceding Company
with any information it has on such claim. The Ceding Company shall consider all
information in determining its claim liability in accordance with Section
XII.A.1. The Ceding Company's failure to notify the Reinsurer of such claims
shall be treated in accordance with Article IX.
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
23
If the Reinsurer discovers that the Ceding Company's claim practices and
procedures in effect at the time of the submission of a claim differ materially
and adversely from those in effect at the Effective Date of this Agreement and
from industry standards at the time of the claim, then, in addition to any other
remedies available to the Reinsurer under this Agreement, the Reinsurer may, by
written amendment to this Agreement as described in Section I.B, seek to adjust
the threshold amount specified above in Paragraph a.
C. Claim Payment
1. Proofs
If a death claim is made under a risk reinsured under this Agreement, the Ceding
Company shall provide the Reinsurer with copies of proof(s) of death of the
insured(s), proof of claim payment, and the claimant's statement (collectively
"Proofs"). Copies of claim files, underwriting files and other documents
relating to a claim payment under this Agreement shall be furnished to the
Reinsurer upon written request.
2. Payment of Reinsurance Proceeds
The Reinsurer shall pay the Ceding Company reinsurance proceeds on claims for
which the Ceding Company is contractually liable under policies eligible for
reinsurance under this Agreement. The due date for such payment is the date
thirty (30) calendar days after the date that the Reinsurer has received the
Proofs.
The Reinsurer shall also reimburse the Ceding Company for its proportionate
share of non-routine claims expenses (defined below in Section G) and any
interest paid by the Ceding Company on such claims, such proportion based on the
Reinsurer's proportionate share of the Total Net Amount at Risk of the coverage,
as defined in Schedule B. Interest paid by the Ceding Company on such claims
shall be in accordance with the policy provisions and applicable state
requirements.
Payment of reinsurance proceeds will be made to the Ceding Company in a single
sum, regardless of the Ceding Company's mode of settlement with the payee under
the policy.
3. Claim Balances in Default
If the Reinsurer is delinquent by more than thirty (30) days on an undisputed
amount due to the Ceding Company relating to a claim:
a. The Ceding Company shall have the right to charge interest on
delinquent amounts in accordance with Section XXII.P;
b. The Ceding Company shall have the right to offset such amount,
including any accrued interest charged by the Ceding Company, from
any amount due the Reinsurer in accordance with Article XVII; and
c. To the extent there is an insufficient balance from which to offset
such amounts, the Ceding Company shall have the right to recapture
the remaining reinsurance under this Agreement, as described in
Article XVI,
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
24
provided the Ceding Company has given the Reinsurer ninety (90) days
advance written notice of its intent to recapture and the Reinsurer
has failed to pay the net amount due, including any accrued interest
charged by the Ceding Company, by the end of such notice period. In
no event shall recapture be construed to be the exclusive remedy of
the Ceding Company.
D. Contested Claims
1. The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer of its intent to
deny, reduce, compromise, contest, litigate, or assert defenses against
(collectively, "Contest") a claim on a risk reinsured under this Agreement. The
Ceding Company shall also furnish all information material to such action.
Recognizing the urgent nature of these communications, within six (6) business
days of receipt of such information (the "Contested Claim Review Period"), the
Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding Company in writing of the Reinsurer's decision
whether or not it shall participate in the Contest. The Reinsurer may extend the
Contested Claim Review Period by two (2) additional business days by written
notice to the Ceding Company, if such notice is provided by the end of the
initial six-day period. If the Reinsurer does not respond to the Ceding Company
within the Contested Claim Review Period, the Reinsurer will be deemed to have
elected to participate in the Contest, and any settlement made by the Ceding
Company shall be binding on the Reinsurer.
2. If the Reinsurer elects to participate in the Contest, then:
a. The Ceding Company will advise the Reinsurer of all significant
developments, including notice of legal proceedings initiated in
connection with the contested claim, at reasonable intervals until
the claim is resolved;
b. The Reinsurer shall pay its proportionate share of any settlement of
the claim, such proportion based on the Reinsurer's proportionate
share of the Total Net Amount at Risk of the coverage, as defined in
Schedule B; and
c. The Reinsurer shall also share in the non-routine claims expenses
(defined below in Section G) and Extra-Contractual Obligations, as
defined in Article XIII, associated with the Contest in the same
proportion as stated above in Paragraph b.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any point in time, the Reinsurer does not
agree with the Ceding Company's course of action associated with the Contest,
the Reinsurer may opt out of the Contest by paying its full share of liability
as if there had been no Contest, and shall incur no further expense or
obligation to reimburse the Ceding Company with respect to actions taken after
the date the Reinsurer opts out. However, once the Reinsurer has participated in
the Contest, the Reinsurer shall remain liable for its proportionate share of
any Extra-Contractual Obligations that arise from agreed upon actions taken
prior to the date the Reinsurer opts out. Any dispute over whether
Extra-Contractual Obligations arose from agreed upon actions taken prior to the
date the Reinsurer opts out shall be subject to dispute resolution in accordance
with this Agreement.
3. If the Reinsurer declines to participate in the Contest of the claim, then:
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
25
a. The Reinsurer shall release all of its liability for the claim by
paying the Ceding Company the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk and its
proportionate share of non-routine claims expenses (defined below in
Section G) incurred to the date on which the Reinsurer notifies the
Ceding Company that it declines to be a party to the action, in the
same proportion as stated above in Paragraph 2.b as though there
were no Contest; and
b. The Reinsurer shall not share in any subsequent increase or decrease
in liability for the claim.
4. The Reinsurer will not recommend to the Ceding Company to contest a claim.
E. Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the amount of insurance provided by the policy or policies reinsured under
this Agreement is increased or decreased because of misstatement of age or sex
that is established after the death of the insured (or the second death in the
case of a last survivor policy), the Reinsurer will share with the Ceding
Company in this increase or decrease of insurance in proportion to the
Reinsurer's share of the Total Net Amount at Risk, as defined in Schedule B. The
amount will be adjusted from the inception of the policy, and any difference in
amounts due between the Parties under this Agreement will be settled without
interest. The Reinsurer's proportionate share of the increase or decrease will
be equal to its share of the Total Net Amount at Risk, as defined in Schedule B.
F. Return of Premium for Misrepresentations and Suicides
1. If a misrepresentation, misstatement, or omission on an application, or the
death of an insured by suicide, results in the Ceding Company returning the
policy premiums (or monthly deductions) to the policy owner rather than paying
the death benefits under a risk reinsured under this Agreement, the Reinsurer
shall refund to the Ceding Company all of the Reinsurance Premiums it received
on that coverage without interest. This refund paid by the Reinsurer shall be in
lieu of any and all other reinsurance benefits payable on that risk under this
Agreement.
2. In addition, the Reinsurer shall pay its proportionate share of reasonable
third-party investigation and legal expenses connected with the Ceding Company's
decision to return the policy premiums (or monthly deductions) as described
above in Paragraph F.1. This paragraph shall not apply to expenses relating to
rescissions of policies which are determined to be stranger-owned life insurance
policies or investor-owned life insurance policies.

The Ceding Company shall pay routine expenses incurred in connection with
settling claims. These expenses may include the compensation of agents and
employees, and the expense of routine investigations.

expenses incurred by the Ceding Company in connection with the Contest, or
potential Contest, of a claim. These non-routine claims expenses may include
court costs and investigation, autopsy and legal expenses; they would not
include the compensation of salaried officers and employees of the Ceding
Company. However, if the Reinsurer declines to participate in the Contest of a
claim as described above in Paragraph D.3, the Reinsurer will not share in any
non-routine expenses for the claim that are incurred after the date of the
Reinsurer's release.
3. Claims expenses do not include expenses incurred by the Ceding Company as a
result of a dispute or contest arising out of conflicting claims of entitlement
to policy proceeds.

INSOLVENCY
A. Insolvency of the Ceding Company
In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, as determined by the
regulatory agency responsible for such determination, all reinsurance will be
payable by the Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company
under policies reinsured under this Agreement directly to the liquidator,
receiver or statutory successor of the Ceding Company, without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Ceding Company. It is the intention of the
Parties that, unless expressly provided for otherwise in this Agreement, the
Reinsurer:
1. shall be liable only for benefits reinsured as benefits become due under the
terms of the policies reinsured under this Agreement;
2. shall not be liable for any amounts or reserves required to be held by the
Ceding Company for policies reinsured under this Agreement; and
3. shall not be liable for any damages or payments resulting from any
termination or restructure of the policies reinsured under this Agreement.
In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, the liquidator, receiver
or statutory successor will give written notice to the Reinsurer of all pending
claims against the Ceding Company on any policy reinsured under this Agreement
within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding.
While a claim is pending, the Reinsurer may investigate and interpose, at its
own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any
defense or defenses which it may deem available to the Ceding Company or its
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor.
The expenses incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable, subject to court
approval, against the Ceding Company as part of the expense of the insolvent the
Ceding Company to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may
accrue to the Ceding Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the
Reinsurer. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a
majority in interest elect to interpose a defense or defenses to any such claim,
the expense will be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
as though such expense had been incurred by the Ceding Company.

rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator, supervisor or statutory
successor of its properties or assets;
b. is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent;
c. files or consents to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, seeks
reorganization to avoid insolvency or makes formal application for
any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation 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
Reinsurer's domicile.
The effective date of the insolvency shall be the date on which the above
described event occurred.
In the event of Reinsurer's insolvency, the Ceding Company may recapture all of
the inforce policies reinsured under this Agreement by giving written notice to
the Reinsurer of its intent to do so. The effective date of recapture will be no
earlier than the effective date of the Reinsurer's insolvency.
ARTICLE XVI
RECAPTURE OF REINSURED BUSINESS
A. The Ceding Company has the right to recapture risks reinsured under this
Agreement as described under the following circumstances:
(1) If the Reinsurer fails to provide security in accordance with Section
VIII.C;
(2) If the Reinsurer is delinquent on payment of an undisputed net amount due
in accordance with Section XII.C.3; or
(3) If the Reinsurer is deemed insolvent, in accordance with Article XV.
B. In the event of recapture, the Parties shall mutually agree upon the
recapture terms, including the value of the business reinsured to be paid from
one Party to the other upon recapture. If no agreement can be reached, an
independent actuary will be hired to determine the value of the business
reinsured. Costs of the independent actuary will be shared equally by the
Parties.
The value of the business reinsured will be based on appropriate assumptions as
to interest rates, mortality, lapses and other actuarial assumptions. Key

Between HLIC and Swiss Re
29
2. Projected future Reinsurance Premiums;
3. Statutory reserve requirements;
4. NAIC risk based capital and/or other capital measures, which are reflective
of statutory capital levels, that should be maintained for an insurance company
with financial strength ratings comparable to those of the Ceding Company; and

independent actuary.
ARTICLE XVII
OFFSET
Any undisputed debts or credits, in favor of or against either the Reinsurer or
the Ceding Company, with respect to this Agreement or any other Individual Life
reinsurance agreement between the Parties, are deemed mutual debts or credits
and may be offset, and only the balance will be allowed or paid provided the
Party that seeks to avail itself of this right of offset is not in breach of any
provision of this Agreement.
Individual Life shall be that reporting segment, as defined in the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, for The Hartford
Financial Services Group, Inc., or that reporting segment's successor.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of offset will not be
affected or diminished because of the insolvency of either Party.
ARTICLE XVIII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event that any dispute between the Parties under this Agreement cannot be
resolved to mutual satisfaction, the dispute will first be subject to good-faith
negotiation, as described below, in an attempt to resolve the dispute without
the need to institute arbitration proceedings.
Within ten (10) calendar days after one of the Parties has given the other the
first written notification of the specific dispute, each of the Parties will
appoint a designated officer to attempt to resolve the dispute. The designated
officers will meet at a mutually agreeable location as early as possible and as
often as necessary, in order to discuss the dispute and to negotiate in good
faith without the necessity of any arbitration proceedings. During the
negotiation process, all reasonable requests made by one officer to the other
for information will be honored. The designated officers will decide the
specific format for such discussions.
If the designated officers cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30)
calendar days of their first meeting, both Parties agree that they will submit
the dispute to arbitration. However, the Parties may agree in writing to extend
the negotiation period for an additional thirty (30) calendar days.
No later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the final negotiation meeting,
the designated officers taking part in the negotiation will give both Parties
written confirmation that they are unable to

Between HLIC and Swiss Re
30
resolve the dispute, and that they recommend establishment of arbitration in
accordance with Article XIX.B.
ARTICLE XIX
ARBITRATION
It is the intention of the Parties that the customs and practices of the life
and health insurance and life and health reinsurance industries will be given
full effect in the operation and interpretation of this Agreement where not
contrary to the express terms of this Agreement. The Parties agree to act in all
matters with good faith. However, if, in accordance with Article XVIII, the
Parties cannot mutually resolve a dispute that arises out of or relates to this
Agreement, the dispute will be decided through arbitration as follows:
A. Expedited Arbitration
The following disputes will be subject to expedited arbitration as set forth in
this Section A:
(1) any dispute arising under Section V.C; or
(2) any dispute in which the amount in controversy, exclusive of interest or
costs, is less than $2 million.
Expedited arbitration proceedings will be held before a single neutral umpire
who is a past or present officer of a life and health insurance or life and
health reinsurance company not affiliated with either of the Parties in any way.
If the Parties cannot agree on an umpire within thirty (30) calendar days
following the demand for expedited arbitration, the selection shall be made
pursuant to the Umpire Selection Procedure of the XXXXX-US Certified Arbitrators
List available at xxx.XXXXX-XX.xxx.
Within twenty-one (21) days following the selection of the umpire, the Parties
and umpire will conduct an organizational meeting by teleconference to
familiarize the umpire with the dispute and to set a timetable for submission of
briefs. There will be no discovery, and the dispute will be decided based on
briefs and documentary evidence only, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or
ordered by the umpire for good cause. No ex parte communication will be
permitted with the umpire at any time prior to the conclusion of the
proceedings.
Within thirty (30) days after the submission of briefs by the Parties, the
umpire will render a written, reasoned decision on the dispute and a statement
of any award to be paid as a result. The decision will be based on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as well as the usual customs and practices of the
insurance and reinsurance industry, rather than on strict interpretation of the
law. The decision will be final and binding on both Parties and there will be no
further appeal. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.
In the absence of a decision to the contrary by the umpire, each Party shall
bear the expense of its own arbitration activities and shall jointly and equally
bear the expense of the umpire and other costs directly attended to the
arbitration proceeding, provided that neither Party's liability for such costs
shall ever exceed 50% of the total of such costs, regardless of the other
Party's failure to pay.

The Parties may mutually agree to extend any of the periods shown in this
Section.
B. Formal Arbitration
All other types of disputes will be decided through formal arbitration as set
forth in this Section B.
An arbitration panel consisting of three past or present officers of life and
health insurance or life and health reinsurance companies not affiliated with
either of the Parties in any way will settle the dispute. Each Party will
appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days of the demand for formal
arbitration and the two so appointed shall then appoint the umpire. If either
Party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within the thirty (30)
calendar days, the other Party may appoint the second arbitrator. If the two
arbitrators cannot agree on the umpire within thirty (30) calendar days after
both arbitrators have been appointed, the two arbitrators shall select an umpire
pursuant to the Umpire Selection Procedure of the XXXXX-US Certified Arbitrators
List available at xxx.XXXXX-XX.xxx.
Within thirty (30) calendar days after the appointment of the umpire, the
arbitration panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery
procedures, and schedules for hearings. The arbitration shall take place at a
location determined by the arbitration panel and, insofar as the arbitration
panel looks to the substantive law, it shall consider the laws of the state of
Connecticut. The arbitration panel shall have the power to set all procedural
rules for the arbitration, including the discretion to make any order with
respect to pleadings, discovery, depositions, scheduling, the hearing, reception
of evidence and any other matter whatsoever relating to the conduct of the
arbitration.
Within sixty (60) calendar days after the beginning of the arbitration
proceedings the arbitration panel will issue a written, reasoned, decision on
the dispute and a statement of any award to be paid as a result. The decision
will be based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as the usual
customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry, rather than on
strict interpretation of the law. The decision will be final and binding on both
Parties and there will be no further appeal. Judgment upon the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
In the absence of a decision to the contrary by the arbitration panel, each
Party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including, but
not limited to, its appointed arbitrator's fees, outside attorney fees, witness
fees, expenses incurred in the taking or preservation of testimony, and other
related expenses.
The Parties shall jointly and equally bear the expense of the third arbitrator
and other costs directly attended to the arbitration proceeding, provided that
neither Party's liability for such costs shall ever exceed 50% of the total of
such costs, regardless of the other Party's failure to pay.
The Parties may mutually agree to extend any of the periods shown in this
Section.

CONFIDENTIALITY
During the course of performance under this Agreement, a Party (the "Owner") or
its agent may make available to the other Party (the "Recipient") or its agent
certain technical materials such as manuals, policyholder lists, data files and
the data contained therein, systems, forms, methods, processes and procedures,
and other information or data (collectively, "Proprietary Information") that is
proprietary or trade secret in nature. Proprietary Information shall
specifically exclude information that was previously known to the Recipient or
that is or was publicly disclosed to the Recipient by any party not known by the
Recipient to be under a duty to retain such information as confidential.
Each Party acknowledges that all Proprietary Information is offered for the sole
purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Further, each Party
agrees that the Owner is deemed to be the sole owner of such Proprietary
Information and that any use, furnishing, disclosure, dissemination,
publication, or revealing of Proprietary Information in any way by the Recipient
to any person, organization, firm or government agency contrary to applicable
law or to the terms of this Agreement, shall obligate the Recipient to indemnify
and hold the Owner harmless from any damages, litigation, liability, claimed
liability, claims, and expenses -- including reasonable attorneys' fees and
incidental expenses -- resulting from any such improper use, furnishing,
disclosure, or revealing of Owner's Proprietary Information, whether occurring
during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, except to the extent that any
such loss or damage was caused or contributed to by the Owner. The Ceding
Company acknowledges that the Reinsurer can aggregate the Ceding Company's
Proprietary Information with other companies reinsured with the Reinsurer as
long as the data cannot be identified as belonging to the Ceding Company.

33
The Parties shall hold all Proprietary Information in trust and confidence and
shall use Proprietary Information only for the purposes of this Agreement.
Unless required by applicable law, neither Party shall disclose any Proprietary
Information without the express written consent of the other Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may disclose Proprietary Information
to their Representatives who need such Proprietary Information to carry out the
purposes for which it was disclosed -- it being understood that the Party
disclosing the Proprietary Information shall inform its Representatives of the
confidential nature of the Proprietary Information, shall cause such
Representatives to observe the terms of this Agreement, and shall be liable to
the Owner for any breach of this Agreement by itself or by any of its
Representatives. The term "Representatives," as used in this Agreement, shall
mean a Party's directors, officers, employees, retrocessionaires, partners,
agents, other controlling persons, and professional advisors, including but not
limited to attorneys, accountants, actuaries, and intermediaries.
In the event the Recipient or its Representative breaches this obligation, the
Owner shall have all rights and remedies available under law and equity,
including the right to protect its Proprietary Information by injunction,
without proving economic loss, which the Parties acknowledge and concede is
appropriate and necessary to protect the value of the Owner's Proprietary
Information.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as reasonably necessary
to comply with applicable securities laws, each Party (and each Representative
of such Party) may consult any tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax
treatment or tax structure of the transaction ("Tax Treatment"), and disclose to
any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax Treatment and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to such Party relating to the Tax Treatment. This permission to
disclose the Tax Treatment is limited to any facts relevant to the Tax Treatment
and does not include information relating to the identity of the Parties.
In the event that any Party is served with a subpoena, request for production of
documents, other legal process, or request by regulator, such Party shall
immediately notify, and send a copy of such subpoena, other legal process, or
regulatory request to, the other Party so that the other Party may reasonably
determine whether any of its Proprietary Information may be included in the data
required to be produced. Such other Party may, at its own expense, take such
legal action as it deems necessary to preserve the confidentiality of its
Proprietary Information or may waive its rights to do so.
To the extent possible, Proprietary Information shall be promptly destroyed upon
the termination of this Agreement or, with respect to any particular data files
and data, on such earlier date that the same are no longer required by Recipient
in order to continue to perform its obligations hereunder. The Recipient will
not be obligated to destroy any Proprietary Information that is retained for
back-up or archiving purposes, in accordance with a document retention policy,
or that the Recipient, in the opinion of counsel, is legally compelled to keep
and store.
The Parties agree to immediately notify each other, in writing, of all
circumstances surrounding any known or potential access to, or possession of,
Proprietary Information by any person other than persons authorized by this
Agreement. Such notice shall be provided as a material communication under
Article XXIII and shall include, but not be limited to, the name and address of
each such unauthorized person.
This Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

I. Execution of Agreement in Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or non-performance of any covenant
contained herein nor shall any such delay or non-performance constitute a
default hereunder, or give rise to any liability for damages if such delay or

or other labor relations problem; restriction or restraint imposed by law, rule,
or regulation of any public authority, whether federal, state or local, and
whether civil or military; act of any military authority or international
terrorist group; interruption of transportation, communication, or transmission
facilities; or any other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of such
Party and that, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to
prevent. The existence of any event of Force Majeure shall extend the term of
performance on the part of such Party to complete performance in the exercise of
reasonable diligence after the event of Force Majeure has been removed.
K. Material Compliance Provision
The Parties represent that, to the best of their knowledge, they are in
substantial compliance with all laws and regulations material to this Agreement.
In the event that either Party is found to be noncompliant with any such law or
regulation, this Agreement will remain in effect and the non-compliant Party
will, to the extent practicable, remedy the noncompliance as soon as possible.

remedies for damages resulting from non-compliance with any laws or regulations
material to the business reinsured under this Agreement, if a Party is found to
be noncompliant with a Material Law, the non-compliant Party shall indemnify the
other Party for any direct loss that Party suffers as a result of the
noncompliance.

regulations that impose mandatory compliance requirements. It shall not mean
those laws or regulations that set forth standards or requirements for obtaining
a particular legal, tax or accounting treatment, which may be elected or sought
by a Party, but which are not mandatory.

regulatory inquiry which requires access to Proprietary Information, the Owner
of the Proprietary Information will provide such response directly to the
regulator, within the timeframe set forth in the inquiry, with a copy of the
response to the other Party. However, if the inquiry and/or response requires

P. Short-Term Interest
For some payments under this Agreement that are due from one Party to the other
Party, the Party owed has the right to charge the other Party interest on those
payments. If that right is exercised, such interest will be computed, from the
date the payment is due to the date payment is made, using the short-term
interest method.
Interest under the short-term interest method will accrue at an effective annual
rate set equal to the lesser of (i) a rate equal to the sum of 50 basis points
(0.50%) plus the annualized Three Month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR)
published in the Wall Street Journal (or, if not available, a comparable
publication agreed upon by the Parties) on the due date of the payment, if the
due date is a business day, or if not, on the first business day following the
due date, or (ii) the maximum annual rate allowed by law for this purpose in the
governing-law state specified above in Section G.
The effective annual interest rate to be used under the short-term interest

RIDERS PROVIDING DEATH BENEFITS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR REINSURANCE:
Primary Insured Term Rider: Provides additional level term life coverage on the
base policy insured.
Other Covered Insured Term Life Rider: Provides level term life coverage on an

Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) Rider: Provides for biennial face amount

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

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

during such travel.
Estate Tax Repeal Benefit Rider: Pays the policy Account Value less indebtedness
if the Federal Estate Tax Law is fully repealed by December 31, 2010, and the
Ceding Company receives a request for this benefit amount from the policy owner.

equal the Account Value) if the policy is surrendered within 3 years after the
policy issue date.
Cash Surrender Value Endorsement: Provides for enhanced Cash Surrender Value
(equal to the current Account Value) in the event of policy surrender in the
first 4 policy years, unless the policy is exchanged under Section 1035 to
another company's policy.
Automatic Premium Payment Rider: Provides for any Scheduled Premium due and
unpaid by the end of any Policy Grace Period to be paid by an automatic
deduction from the Account Value, if the Account Value exceeds the Guaranteed
Cash Value.

REINSURANCE PREMIUM
Reinsurance Premium shall be calculated each month for each risk reinsured as
[ (i) + (ii) ] / 12, where:
(i) equals the Yearly Renewable Term (YRT) Reinsurance Premium for the coverage
(as defined below); and
(ii) equals the Annual Flat Extra Reinsurance Premium (as defined below) for
the coverage, where
the sum of [ (i) + (ii) ] shall not exceed the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk for
such coverage, defined in Schedule B.
For the purposes of calculating Reinsurance Premium, the following will be
considered separate coverages: base policy, increases in coverage, and reinsured
riders.
YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM (YRT) REINSURANCE PREMIUM
The YRT Reinsurance Premium for each coverage shall equal (i) x (ii) x (iii) /
1,000, where:

ARTICLE III
REINSURANCE COVERAGE
Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to those Plans of Insurance and
Riders set forth in Schedule A that also fall within a category of policies
eligible for reinsurance under this Agreement as described in Schedule F. Such
reinsurance shall be either on an automatic basis, subject to the requirements
set forth in Section A below, on an automatic processing basis, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section B below, or on a facultative basis, subject to
the requirements set forth in Section C below. The specifications for all
reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule B.
Once coverage is reinsured on a life under this Agreement, unless the Reinsurer
consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, the Ceding Company or
its affiliate shall continue to retain its share of each risk on that life, as
described in this Agreement and in any other life reinsurance agreement
applicable to risk on that life. Any changes to the Ceding Company's retention,
and any resulting effect on the Automatic Binding Limits, as specified in
Exhibit II, shall be made by amendment to this Agreement, in accordance with
Section I.B.
Each reinsured risk must be issued with a suicide and contestable period equal
to the minimum of (a) two (2) years, (b) the maximum period allowed by
applicable law, or (c) a period agreed to in writing by the Reinsurer.
A. Automatic Reinsurance
For each risk under the policies that meets the requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance as set forth below, the Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance
pool whereby the Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the risk as
indicated in Schedule B ("Automatic Pool"). The requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance are as follows:
1. Each life, at the time of application, must satisfy one of the following
requirements:
a. have been a legal resident of the United States or Canada for at least
six months; or
b. be a citizen of the United States or Canada; or
c. qualify for the Foreign National Underwriting Program as specified in
Schedule C.
2. Each risk must be underwritten according to the Ceding Company's Standard
Underwriting Practices and Guidelines or one of the special underwriting
programs. The Ceding Company's Standard Underwriting Practices and Guidelines as
of the Effective Date are described in Schedule E, and the Ceding Company's
special underwriting programs as of the Effective Date are described in Schedule
C or Schedule D. Changes to such documents will be handled in accordance with
Section XXII.L.
If the Ceding Company would like to offer coverage at a risk class more
favorable than the True Assessed Risk Class, the Ceding Company may:
a. Reinsure the risk automatically under this Agreement with the
Reinsurance Premium based on the True Assessed Risk Class; or
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
Amendment #5 -- Effective 10/1/2008
3
b. Seek to reinsure the risk facultatively under this Agreement at rates
more favorable than the True Assessed Risk Class; or
c. Decide not to reinsure the risk under this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, "True Assessed Risk Class" shall mean the risk
class assessed by the Ceding Company prior to any adjustments made as a result
of the Ceding Company's Enhanced Standard or similar special underwriting
program.
3. For any risk that is not an Excess Risk, if the Ceding Company submitted any
risk on a life of a proposed insured facultatively to the Reinsurer during the
last three (3) years:
a. for reinsurance capacity, then the Ceding Company shall confirm the
Reinsurer's available capacity for such risk. Upon receipt of the
request, the Reinsurer shall advise the Ceding Company of its
available capacity for the life on the same or next following
business day. After the Reinsurer has advised the Ceding Company of
its available capacity, provided all the other requirements for
Automatic Reinsurance under this Agreement are met, the Ceding
Company may cede to the Reinsurer no more than such amount on an
automatic basis; or
b. for reasons other than reinsurance capacity, and the Reinsurer's
assessment of the risk so submitted was:
(1) the same as, or more favorable than, the Ceding Company's
assessment at that time, then, provided all the other requirements
for Automatic Reinsurance under this Agreement are met, the Ceding
Company may cede the risk under this Agreement on an automatic
basis at its True Assessed Risk Class; or
(2) less favorable than the Ceding Company's assessment at that time,
then, provided all the other requirements for Automatic
Reinsurance under this Agreement are met, the Ceding Company may
provisionally cede the risk under this Agreement on an automatic
basis at its True Assessed Risk Class, provided the Ceding Company
then submits the risk to the Reinsurer for review in accordance
with Section V.E;
otherwise, provided all the other requirements for Automatic Reinsurance under
this Agreement are met, the Ceding Company shall cede the risk under this
Agreement on an automatic basis.
For any risk that is an Excess Risk, if any risk on the life of a proposed
insured was previously submitted by the Ceding Company on a facultative basis to
the Reinsurer or to any other reinsurer, at least three (3) years must have
elapsed since that previous risk was submitted facultatively, unless the
original reason for submitting facultatively no longer applies.
4. The maximum issue age for each life is 85. For Last Survivor policies, the
minimum issue age is 18, for all other policies, the minimum age is 0.
5. The mortality rating on each life does not exceed Table P. However, for Last
Survivor policies, one life may be uninsurable if the other life does not exceed
Table F.
6. For any Excess Risk, the total amount of risk on that life to be reinsured
in the Automatic Pool and under any other individual life reinsurance agreement
with any reinsurer does not exceed the Automatic Binding Limit for that life
shown in Exhibit II.
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
Amendment #5 -- Effective 10/1/2008
4
7. For any Excess Risk, the total amount of insurance on each life, in force
and applied for in all companies does not exceed the Jumbo Limits as set forth
in Exhibit II. For any such life, the total amount of insurance in force
includes any amount(s) to be replaced. For the Ceding Company's in-force and
applied-for policies on such life, this total amount of insurance includes all
scheduled increases in amount of insurance on such policies.
Any amounts of insurance being replaced by the Ceding Company may be deducted
from this total amount of insurance only under the following conditions:
a. Existing permanent insurance is being replaced by the Ceding
Company, with or without a Section 1035 exchange, and the Ceding
Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment of the
insurance being replaced; or
b. Existing term insurance is being replaced by the Ceding Company, and
the Ceding Company has obtained a duly executed absolute assignment
of the insurance being replaced; or
c. An internal replacement is being made, where the Ceding Company is
replacing an in-force policy with a new policy of equal or greater
death benefit.
When the total amount of insurance to be compared with the applicable Jumbo
Limit is reduced due to the above conditions, the Ceding Company assumes full
responsibility to effect the cancellation of coverage under the replaced policy
concurrently with the commencement of coverage under the new policy. The
Reinsurer will have no liability for reinsurance coverage on the new policy
while both coverages are in effect and shall refund to the Ceding Company all
related Reinsurance Premiums for the new policy. However, if reinsurance on the
new policy is declined for this reason and the cancellation of coverage under
the replaced policy is later effected during the lifetime of the insured, then,
upon receipt of the Ceding Company's written notice to this effect, the
Reinsurer will again become liable for reinsurance coverage on the new policy as
of the effective date of cancellation of coverage under the replaced policy, and
Reinsurance Premiums for the new policy will again be payable from that
effective date of cancellation.
8. The Ceding Company, or its affiliates, accepts its full retention on each
life, as described in this Agreement, taking into account concurrently issued
amounts and all other inforce policies with the Ceding Company, applicable to
risk on that life.
9. To the best of the Ceding Company's knowledge, the policy is not a
stranger-owned life insurance policy (STOLI) or purchased as part of a premium
financing program, except for those programs specified in Schedule E or approved
in writing by the Reinsurer.
10. If all the other requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met and the
life is a player or coach on a team in the National Hockey League, the National
Football League, the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball,
and:
a. The risk is not an Excess Risk, then the Ceding Company shall notify
the Reinsurer of this fact at the time of issue of the risk; or
b. The risk is an Excess Risk, then, prior to ceding the risk
automatically under this Agreement, the Ceding Company must confirm
the Reinsurer's available capacity for
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
Amendment #5 -- Effective 10/1/2008
5
that risk. The Ceding Company, by telephone call or electronic mail,
shall: (i) notify the Reinsurer's Chief Underwriter, or designee, of
the life's name, date of birth, sport and team affiliation, the total
life insurance in force and to be placed on the life, and the amount
of new reinsurance coverage required from the Reinsurer; and (ii)
confirm that an application for insurance on the life has been
completed. The Reinsurer shall endeavor to inform the Ceding Company
of its available capacity for the risk within two business days after
such notification and confirmation. After the Reinsurer has advised
the Ceding Company of the amount of its available capacity, the Ceding
Company may then cede to the Reinsurer no more than that amount on an
automatic basis under this Agreement.
11. The policy is not an Annual Renewable Term policy.
B. Automatic Processing
If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met for a life except for the
requirement stated above in Section A.6, but the total amount of risk on that
life to be reinsured in the Automatic Pool and under any other individual life
reinsurance agreement with any reinsurer does not exceed the Automatic
Processing Limit for that life shown in Exhibit II, then the Ceding Company may
submit to the Lead Reinsurer (designated in Schedule B) all information relating
to the insurability of that life. For Last Survivor policies where one life is
deemed uninsurable, only the information for the other life needs to be
submitted.
The Lead Reinsurer shall review the submitted information to determine if the
life should be reinsured by the Automatic Pool and, if so, on what basis. The
Lead Reinsurer shall endeavor to provide the Ceding Company with a response
within 72 hours of receipt of such information. Approval by the Lead Reinsurer
shall be binding on all other current Automatic Pool reinsurers. This process
shall be known as Automatic Processing and shall be subject to Exhibit II.
Hereinafter, all references to Automatic Reinsurance, coverage automatically
reinsured, and the Automatic Pool will include coverage reinsured through
Automatic Processing.
C. Facultative Reinsurance
If the requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are not met and the Ceding Company
applies for Facultative Reinsurance with the Reinsurer, or if the requirements
for Automatic Reinsurance are met but the Ceding Company prefers to apply for
Facultative Reinsurance with the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company shall submit
to the Reinsurer sufficient evidence agreed upon between the Ceding Company and
the Reinsurer, relating to the insurability of each life submitted for
Facultative Reinsurance. For Last Survivor policies where one life is deemed
uninsurable, only the information for the other life needs to be submitted.
The Reinsurer shall promptly notify the Ceding Company of its declination to
offer, its underwriting offer subject to additional requirements, or its final
underwriting offer. The final underwriting offer will automatically expire upon
the earliest of: (1) the date the policy application is withdrawn; (2) the
expiration date specified in the final offer; (3) the date one hundred twenty
(120) days after the date of the final offer; and (4) the date a final offer is
accepted and coverage is placed.
Once the Ceding Company has notified the Reinsurer in writing of its acceptance
of the Reinsurer's final underwriting offer, then Facultative Reinsurance for
the risk under this Agreement will become effective as described below in
Section IV.B.

ARTICLE X
POLICY CONVERSIONS, OTHER CHANGES, AND TERMINATIONS
A. Conversions
A conversion is a policyholder's exercise of a contractual right to replace
in-force coverage with a new permanent policy without evidence of insurability.
Conversions from a policy reinsured under this Agreement will continue to be
reinsured under this Agreement as follows:
1. The converted coverage under the new policy will be reinsured with the
Reinsurer in the same proportion as was determined for the in-force coverage
converted; and
2. Reinsurance Premiums for such converted coverage shall be calculated on a
point-in-scale basis, utilizing the Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net
Amount at Risk as set forth in Exhibit III.
If the new policy was converted under the Conversion Option Rider from either
(a) two single life policies reinsured under this Agreement; or (b) one single
life policy reinsured under this Agreement and one newly underwritten life, to a
last survivor policy, Reinsurance Premiums for both lives shall be calculated on
a point-in-scale basis. The Reinsurance Premiums for both lives shall be
calculated using the tables of Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount
at Risk and table of YRT Reinsurance Rate Factors applicable to the earliest
original coverage in accordance with the procedures set out in Exhibit I.
Conversions from a policy not reinsured under this Agreement shall not be
reinsured under this Agreement.
B. Increases and Decreases in Policy Face Amount
1. If the face amount of a policy reinsured under this Agreement increases and:
a. The increase is subject to full underwriting, then the provisions of
Article III shall apply to the increase in reinsurance and
Reinsurance Premiums for the increase shall be based on new-business
rates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after termination of this Agreement for new
business, any increases subject to full underwriting must be submitted to the
Reinsurer on a facultative obligatory basis, if, the increase in face amount is
in excess of one million dollars ($1 million); or
b. The increase is not subject to full underwriting, the Reinsurer will
accept the increase, provided that:
(1) If the policy was ceded automatically, the Ceding Company
underwrote the full face amount (including all scheduled
increases) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (whether
through Automatic Reinsurance or Automatic Processing); or
(2) If the policy was ceded facultatively, the Ceding Company received
approval from the Reinsurer for the full face amount (including
all scheduled increases) at the time of facultative application.
Allocated Retention Pool -- Effective 10/1/2008
Between HLIC and Swiss Re
Amendment #5 -- Effective 10/1/2008

Reinsurance Premiums for increases not subject to full
underwriting shall be calculated on a point-in-scale basis,
utilizing the Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at
Risk as set forth in Exhibit III.
For increases in accordance with B.1.b (1), the Ceding Company's retention and
the amount of risk ceded to the Reinsurer shall be determined for the increase
at the time the increase goes into effect, in accordance with Schedule B. For
increases in accordance with B.1.b (2), the Ceding Company's retention and the
amount of risk ceded to the Reinsurer shall be determined by mutual agreement of
the Parties.
2. If the face amount of a policy reinsured under this Agreement decreases and:
a. If the face amount of a policy that was previously increased is
subsequently decreased, the decrease will be applied first to the
increase with the latest effective date, and then to the increase
with the next earlier effective date, and so forth as necessary,
until applying any remaining decrease to the initial face amount of
the policy.
b. The Ceding Company's retention and the amount of risk ceded to the
Reinsurer shall be determined at the time the decrease goes into
effect, as follows:
(1) For decreases under policies ceded automatically, in accordance
with Schedule B; or
(2) For decreases under policies ceded facultatively, the amount of
the risk reinsured to the Reinsurer shall be reduced
proportionately.
C. Policy Exchanges and Other Changes
A policy exchange is a new policy replacing an existing policy where the new
policy is not fully underwritten. Reinsurance Premiums for exchanges from one
single life policy reinsured under this Agreement to a different single life
policy will be calculated on a point-in-scale basis using Annual Rates per
$1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk, as set forth in Exhibit III. Likewise,
Reinsurance Premiums for exchanges from one last survivor policy reinsured under
this Agreement to a different last survivor policy will be calculated on a
point-in-scale basis using Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at
Risk, as set forth in Exhibit III. Reinsurance Premiums for exchanges from a
last survivor policy reinsured under this Agreement with the Last Survivor
Exchange Option Rider or Twenty-Four (24) Month Exchange Rider to two single
life policies will be calculated at the applicable single life point-in-scale
Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk, as set forth in Exhibit
III. For each new policy after the exchange, the insurance will continue to be
reinsured by the Reinsurer in the same proportions as set at issue of the
original coverage.
If there is a contractual change in a policy reinsured under this Agreement that
is not subject to full underwriting, other than the changes described above in
Sections A and B, the insurance shall continue to be reinsured with the
Reinsurer in the same proportions as the original coverage and Reinsurance
Premiums for contractual changes shall be calculated on a point-in-scale basis,
utilizing the Annual Rates per $1,000 of Reinsured Net Amount at Risk as set
forth in Exhibit III.
The Ceding Company shall notify the Reinsurer of any such changes in policies
reinsured under this Agreement in its monthly reinsurance reports.
Exchanges made from a policy not reinsured under this Agreement shall not be
reinsured under this Agreement.

D. Policy Terminations and Lapses
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement terminates, the reinsurance for the
risk will terminate as of the effective date of policy termination. For a policy
terminated due to the expiry of any grace period for an unpaid amount, the
effective date of termination for such policy will be the date such unpaid
amount was first due.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a policy is deemed to have terminated as a
result of full acceleration of the death benefit, the corresponding reinsurance
on the policy will continue as specified in Section IV.E.
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses to extended term insurance
under the terms of that policy, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured
policy will continue on the same basis as the original reinsurance until the
expiry of the extended term period.
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses to reduced paid-up insurance
under the terms of that policy, the amount of the corresponding reinsurance on
the reinsured policy will be reduced according to the terms of Section B.2 of
this Article.
If the Ceding Company allows a policy reinsured under this Agreement to remain
in force under its automatic premium loan provisions, the corresponding
reinsurance on the reinsured policy will continue unchanged and in force as long
as such provisions remain in effect, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.
E. Reduction in Retained Coverage on a Life
If any portion of the aggregate amount of insurance retained by the Ceding
Company or its affiliates on an individual life reduces or terminates, the
Ceding Company or its affiliates will recalculate its retention on any remaining
risk(s) in force on that life. The Ceding Company or its affiliates will not be
required to retain an amount in excess of its retention limit for the age,
mortality rating, and risk classification based on the applicable retention
limit that was in effect at the time of issue for any risk. Unless provided for
otherwise in the applicable reinsurance agreements, the Ceding Company or its
affiliates will first recalculate the retention on the risk(s) having the same
mortality rating as the terminated risk(s). Order of recalculation will
secondarily be determined by effective date of the risk, oldest first.
F. Multiple Reinsurers
If reinsurance of a risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, the Reinsurer's
percentage of any increased or reduced reinsurance will be the same as its
initial percentage of the reinsurance for that risk unless specified otherwise
in Schedule B or agreed upon by the Reinsurer.
G. Mortality Rating Changes
On Facultative Reinsurance, if the Ceding Company wishes to reduce the mortality
rating or otherwise improve the risk class, such change will be subject to the
Reinsurer's approval. On Automatic Reinsurance, the Reinsurer will accept this
change if the change qualifies under the underwriting practices and guidelines
described in Schedules C, D, or E, as applicable.

H. Rescission of Policy Coverage Prior to Death Claim
1. If a misrepresentation, misstatement, or omission on an application results
in the Ceding Company's rescission of coverage, the Reinsurer shall refund to
the Ceding Company any Reinsurance Premiums it received on that coverage. This
refund shall be in lieu of any and all other reinsurance benefits payable on
that coverage under this Agreement.
2. The Ceding Company shall promptly notify the Reinsurer in the event a
rescission is challenged by legal action. The Ceding Company shall also furnish
all information material to such action.
Recognizing the urgent nature of these communications, within ten (10) business
days of receipt of such information, the Reinsurer shall notify the Ceding
Company in writing of the Reinsurer's decision whether or not it shall
participate in the legal and investigation expenses associated with the defense
of the rescission. The Reinsurer may extend the ten-day period by two (2)
additional business days by written notice to the Ceding Company, if such notice
is provided by the end of the initial ten-day period. If the Reinsurer does not
respond to the Ceding Company within the timeframe above, the Reinsurer will be
deemed to have elected to participate in the legal and investigation expenses
associated with the defense of the rescission.
3. If a rescission of policy coverage is reversed and the policy coverage is
restored to in-force status, any related reinsurance coverage under this
Agreement shall also be restored upon the Ceding Company's payment to the
Reinsurer of all applicable Reinsurance Premiums.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider: Pays an additional death benefit if the death

in Schedule B, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for such Reinsured Net Amount
at Risk upon the death of the insured.
LifeAccess Accelerated Benefit Rider (LAABR): Provides for monthly benefits (up

Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: Similar to the GMAB rider, with the same

premiums paid to that date. Once elected, premiums are no longer payable.

requirement to keep the rider in force.
Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: Similar to the GMAB rider, with the same Guarantee
Period, a monthly charge, and a cumulative premium requirement. At end of the

that date. Once elected, premiums are no longer payable.

equal the Account Value) if the policy is surrendered within 3 years after the
policy issue date.
Cash Surrender Value Endorsement: Provides for enhanced Cash Surrender Value
(equal to the current Account Value) in the event of policy surrender in the
first 4 policy years, unless the policy is exchanged under Section 1035 to
another company's policy.
Automatic Premium Payment Rider: Provides for any Scheduled Premium due and
unpaid by the end of any Policy Grace Period to be paid by an automatic
deduction from the Account Value, if the Account Value exceeds the Guaranteed
Cash Value.

Estate Protection Rider from lapse as long as the Policy Protection Account
Value ("shadow account") is not negative.
Estate Tax Repeal Rider: Will pay the Account Value less indebtedness if the
Federal Estate Tax Law is fully repealed by December 31, 2010, and the Ceding
Company receives a request for this benefit amount from the policy owner.
Foreign Travel Exclusion: Provides a limited death benefit (Account Value less
indebtedness) if either insured dies due to travel to, from, or within certain
foreign countries, or due directly or indirectly to illness or injury sustained
during such travel.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider and Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider:
Same as Single Life riders.
Owner Designated Settlement Option Rider. Allows the policy owner to designate a
Settlement Option to be used for the payment of Death Proceeds.
