Deposit of Assets into the Supplemental Trust Account. (a) The Grantor hereby establishes the Supplemental Trust Account with the Trustee for the sole use and benefit of the Beneficiary, under the terms set forth herein, in order to secure payment of amounts owed by the Grantor to the Beneficiary under the Reinsurance Agreements. The Trustee shall administer the Supplemental Trust Account in its name as Trustee for the sole use and benefit of the Beneficiary. The Supplemental Trust Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Beneficiary and the Grantor, respectively, solely as provided herein. The Trustee hereby accepts the Supplemental Trust Account upon the terms set forth in this Supplemental Trust Agreement. (b) The Trustee will accept and credit to the Supplemental Trust Account all assets which from time to time are delivered to it for deposit in the Supplemental Trust Account by or on behalf of the Grantor or the Beneficiary (all such assets actually received in the Supplemental Trust Account are herein referred to individually as an “Asset” and collectively as the “Assets”). The Trustee is authorized and shall have the power to receive such Assets and to hold, invest, reinvest and dispose of the same for the uses and purposes of and according to the provisions herein set forth. All Assets shall be maintained by the Trustee in the Supplemental Trust Account separate and distinct from all other assets under the control of or on the books of the Trustee and shall be received and continuously kept in a safe place at the Trustee’s office within the United States of America. (c) The Grantor shall ensure that (i) any Assets transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Supplemental Trust Account will be in such form that the Beneficiary, or the Trustee upon direction by the Beneficiary, may whenever necessary negotiate any such Assets, without consent or signature from the Grantor or any other person or entity in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Trust Agreement, (ii) from and after the date hereof, all Assets transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Supplemental Trust Account will consist only of Eligible Assets, Surplus Notes and the shares of HGR Fund B, and (iii) each such Asset shall be at the time of transfer free and clear of all claims, liens, interests and encumbrances whatsoever (other than those arising under this Supplemental Trust Agreement).

Page 3 of 16 NY01/ 7269182.9 (d) Prior to depositing the Assets in the Supplemental Trust Account, and from time to time thereafter as required, the Grantor shall execute or cause the execution of assignments, endorsement in blank, or transfer legal title to the Trustee of all shares, obligations or other Assets requiring assignments, so that the Beneficiary, or the Trustee upon direction by the Beneficiary, may whenever necessary negotiate any such Assets, without the consent or signature from the Grantor or any other person or entity. Any Assets received by the Trustee which are not in such proper negotiable form shall not be accepted by the Trustee and shall be returned to the Grantor as unacceptable. The Trustee may hold Assets of the Supplemental Trust Account in bearer form or in its own name or that of a nominee. (e) The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Assets in the Supplemental Trust Account are sufficient to secure the Grantor's obligations to the Beneficiary. Furthermore, the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether Assets transferred to the Supplemental Trust Account constitute Eligible Assets. SECTION 2. Withdrawal or Transfer of Assets from the Supplemental Trust Account. (a) Without notice to the Grantor, the Beneficiary shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw from the Supplemental Trust Account, subject only to written notice from the Beneficiary to the Trustee (the “Withdrawal Notice”), such Assets as are specified in such Withdrawal Notice. The Withdrawal Notice shall also specify instruction to the Trustee as to how such specified Assets shall be delivered. The Beneficiary may from time to time designate a third party (the “Beneficiary Designee”) in a Withdrawal Notice to whom all or part of the Assets specified therein shall be delivered. The Beneficiary shall not be required to present any other statement or document in addition to a Withdrawal Notice in order to withdraw any Assets, except that the Beneficiary shall acknowledge receipt of any such Assets withdrawn upon request by the Trustee; nor is said right of withdrawal or any other provision of this Supplemental Trust Agreement subject to any conditions or qualifications not contained in this Supplemental Trust Agreement. (b) Upon receipt of a Withdrawal Notice, the Trustee shall immediately take any and all steps necessary to transfer absolutely and unequivocally all right, title and interest in the Assets specified in such Withdrawal Notice and shall deliver physical custody (or such other form as is necessary to complete the transfer) of such Assets to or for the account of the Beneficiary or the Beneficiary Designee, as applicable, as specified in such Withdrawal Notice. The Trustee shall notify the Grantor and the Beneficiary within five (5) Business Days following each withdrawal from the Supplemental Trust Account. The Trustee may rely on any Withdrawal Notice delivered by the Beneficiary without making any investigation of the Beneficiary's authority to deliver it. (c) Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the Grantor shall be permitted to withdraw Assets from the Supplemental Trust Account from time to time, subject only to written notice from the Grantor to the Trustee, provided that such written notice shall have been countersigned by the Beneficiary (the “Grantor Withdrawal Notice”), such Assets as are specified in such Grantor Withdrawal Notice. The Grantor Withdrawal Notice shall also specify instruction to the Trustee as to how such specified Assets shall be delivered. The Grantor may from time to time designate a third party (the “Grantor Designee”) in a Grantor

Page 4 of 16 NY01/ 7269182.9 Withdrawal Notice to whom all or part of the Assets specified therein shall be delivered. The Grantor shall not be required to present any other statement or document in addition to a Grantor Withdrawal Notice in order to withdraw any Assets, except that the Grantor shall acknowledge receipt of any such Assets withdrawn upon request by the Trustee.

(f) Upon written notice to the Trustee from the Beneficiary, the Trustee shall request a redemption by the issuer of some or all of the HGR Fund B shares in exchange for receipt by the Trust from HGR Fund B of all assets then distributable in kind or in cash by HGR Fund B on account of the redemption by the Trustee of said shares and the Trustee shall hold the same in the Supplemental Trust Account as Assets subject to the provisions of this Supplemental Trust Agreement. In the event HGR Fund B does not honor the redemption when requested by the Trustee, upon written notice from the Beneficiary, the Trustee shall take all required actions to liquidate HGR Fund B in order to effect the distribution of assets by HGR Fund B to the Supplemental Trust as shareholder of HGR Fund B. SECTION 3. Redemption, Investment and Substitution of Assets. (a) The Trustee shall surrender for payment all maturing Assets and all Assets called for redemption, deposit the principal amount of the proceeds of any such payment to the Supplemental Trust Account and give written notice to the Beneficiary and the Grantor of such action. (b) The Grantor may appoint an investment manager (in such capacity, the “Asset Manager”), to make investment decisions with regard to the Assets held by the Trustee in the Supplemental Trust Account. The Grantor shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the termination of the appointment of the Asset Manager. From time to time, the Grantor, or the Asset Manager, acting on behalf of Grantor, may instruct the Trustee to invest Assets in the Supplemental Trust Account (other than the Surplus Notes held therein) in Eligible Assets. The Trustee agrees to follow any investment instructions from the Asset Manager and to execute and settle all such trades in the ordinary course. The Grantor shall be responsible to ascertain whether investments are “Eligible Assets”. (c) From time to time, the Grantor may provide written instructions to the Trustee to direct the Trustee to substitute other Eligible Assets for Assets presently held in the Supplemental Trust Account; provided, however, that (i) such written instructions (A) certify that the fair market values of the assets being substituted equals or exceeds the fair market value of the assets being withdrawn and (B) reference current information from an independent third- party pricing source that customarily values such assets, and (ii) the Beneficiary is promptly

Page 5 of 16 NY01/ 7269182.9 notified of said substitution and given a copy of said written instructions. In the case of a substitution of Eligible Assets for Surplus Notes or shares of HGR Fund B, the fair market value of the assets to be so transferred into the Supplemental Trust Account must be at least equal to the par value of the Surplus Notes or net asset value of the shares of HGR Fund B determined by reference to the par value of the Surplus Notes, to be removed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of such removal, minus any such accrued but unpaid interest that was previously assigned pursuant to Section 14(g)(iii) of the Reinsurance Agreement. The Trustee shall also follow any instructions regarding substitution of assets that are signed by both the Grantor and the Beneficiary. (d) When the Trustee is directed to deliver or receive Assets against payment, delivery will be made in accordance with generally accepted market practice. SECTION 4. Trust Income.

If the Trustee does not receive such written instructions by such deadline, the Trustee shall not be liable for failure to take any action relating to or to exercise any rights conferred by such HGR Fund B shares. (c) In the case of the exercise or non-exercise of voting rights of the HGR Fund B shares on the matters set forth in paragraph (d) of this section, Grantor must obtain the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provide such written consent to the Trustee in the form required by the Trustee.
