ARBITRATION

12.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. It is the intention of the parties that customs and usages of the business of insurance shall be given full effect in the interpretation of this Agreement and the Services Agreement. The parties shall act in all things with the highest good faith. All disputes between Reinsurer and the Company arising under this Agreement and the Services Agreement on which an amicable understanding cannot be reached will be decided by arbitration between the parties at a location to be mutually agreed upon between the parties in Salt Lake City, Utah or as designated by the arbitrators if agreement as to a location cannot be reached by the parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE 12, if Reinsurer or the Company seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of or otherwise becomes subject to any trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator (including any state insurance regulatory agency or authority acting in such a capacity), the other party shall not be obligated to resolve any claim, dispute or cause of action under this Agreement by arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE 12, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require arbitration of any issue for which equitable or injunctive relief, including specific performance, is sought.

-19-

12.2 Method. The parties intend this ARTICLE 12 to be enforceable in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq.), including any amendments to that Act which are subsequently adopted, notwithstanding any other choice of law provision set forth in this Agreement. In the event that either party refuses to submit to arbitration as required herein, the other party may request a federal or state court having jurisdiction in the matter to compel arbitration. Both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such court to enforce this article and to confirm and enforce the performance of any award of the arbitrators. To initiate arbitration, either party shall notify the other in writing in the manner set forth in this Agreement for sending notices to the parties of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of the dispute and the remedy sought, and designating an arbitrator. The party to which the notice is sent shall respond thereto in writing within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice. In such response, the party shall also assert any claim, defense and other dispute it may have against the party initiating arbitration, and which arises out of or relates in any way to this Agreement or the Services Agreement, and designate its arbitrator. If the second party fails to respond within the time period set forth in this Section, or fails to designate its arbitrator in its response, the party initiating arbitration shall appoint a second arbitrator. The two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the designation of the second arbitrator. If they are unable to agree upon the selection of the third arbitrator, they shall, within such period, each name three (3) individuals of whom the other shall decline two (2), and the decision of the third arbitrator shall be determined by drawing lots from the two remaining designees.

12.3 All arbitrators shall be active or retired officers of life or health insurance companies and be unaffiliated in any way with the parties and disinterested in the outcome of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall have the power to determine all procedural rules for the conduct of the arbitration, including but not limited to the production and inspection of documents, the examination of witnesses and any other matter relating to the conduct of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall interpret this Agreement and the Services Agreement as honorable engagements and not merely as legal obligations between the parties. They shall reach their decision from the standpoint of equity and the customs and practices of the insurance industry, and may abstain from following the strict rules of law; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive damages against or in favor of either party (except to reimburse a party for extra-contractual or punitive damages that either the Company or the Reinsurer has paid or is legally obligated to pay to third parties). Any decision or ruling of the arbitrators need not be unanimous, but may be issued based on agreement of the majority of the arbitrators. The costs of the arbitration (except legal fees of the parties) shall be split equally between the parties, unless the arbitrators shall otherwise require in their award. Each party shall pay its own legal fees in connection with the arbitration, unless the arbitrators award legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party as part of any award. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Procedures for Large Complex Commercial Disputes established by the American Arbitration Association. The decision, in writing, of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon both of the parties. Judgment may be entered upon the final decision of the arbitrators in any court having jurisdiction.

As soon as reasonably possible, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after receipt by the party to be indemnified hereunder (the "indemnitee") of written notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would give rise to a claim, or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation (a "Claim") that may result in a Loss, such indemnitee shall give notice thereof to the other party (the "indemnitor"). The notice shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail, and the indemnitee shall co-operate with the indemnitor in the resolution of the claim and to provide any and all information in its possession or control reasonably necessary to the defense or resolution of the claim. The failure of the indemnitee to give notice within the time provided for herein shall not affect the indemnitor's obligation under this ARTICLE 13, except if, and then only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the indemnitor or its ability to defend such Claim. Failure by the indemnitor to object in writing within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be acceptance of the Claim by the indemnitor.

13.4 Opportunity to Defend. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of any notice as provided in Section 13.3 the indemnitor shall notify the indemnitee in writing of the acceptance of or objection to the claim and whether the indemnitor will indemnify the indemnitee and defend the same.

13.5 Procedure for Indemnification. The indemnitor shall defend or dispose of the claim at its own expense. If, in the judgment of the indemnitor, it is necessary to appoint counsel, the indemnitor shall select counsel, subject to their being approved in writing by the indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the indemnitee shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of the Claim at its own expense or, as provided herein below, at the expense of the indemnitor.

13.6 Indemnitor Objections. In the event that the indemnitor objects to a Claim within said thirty (30) days or does not object but fails to vigorously defend and appears to be unable or unwilling to meet its indemnification obligations hereunder, the indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense, and to compromise and/or settle (in the exercise of reasonable business judgment) the Claim, all at the risk and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) of the indemnitor.

13.7 No Compromise. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the indemnitee shall not compromise and/or settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor.

-21-

13.8 Cooperation. If the Claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by the indemnitor, the indemnitee shall make available all information and assistance that the indemnitor may reasonably request, provided that any associated expense shall be paid by the indemnitor.

The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be payable, subject to court approval, out of the estate of the Company as a part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company in conservation or liquidation solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.
