AUTOMATIC AND FACULTATIVE YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM

REINSURANCE AGREEMENT

1.	PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT

This Agreement is solely between THE REINSURER and THE COMPANY, a life insurance company domiciled in New Jersey. There is no third party beneficiary to this Agreement. Reinsurance under this Agreement will not create any right or legal relationship between THE REINSURER and any other person, for example, any insured, policyowner, agent, beneficiary, or assignee. THE COMPANY agrees that it will not make THE REINSURER a party to any litigation between any such third party and THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY will not use or disclose THE REINSURER’s name with regard to THE COMPANY's agreements or transactions with these third parties unless THE REINSURER gives prior written approval for the use or disclosure of its name or unless THE COMPANY is compelled by law to do so.

The terms of this Agreement are binding upon the parties, their representatives, successors, and assigns. The parties to this Agreement are bound by ongoing and continuing obligations and liabilities until the later of (1) when this Agreement terminates and (2) when the underlying policies are no longer in force. This Agreement shall not be bifurcated, partially assigned, or partially assumed.

2.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AGREEMENT

This Agreement will incept on the date hereof, to be effective as of 12:01 A.M. Eastern Time, [DATE] (“Effective Date”), and will cover policies effective on and after that date.

3.	SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT

The text of this Agreement and all Exhibits, Schedules and Amendments are considered to be the entire agreement between the parties. There are no other understandings or agreements between the parties regarding the policies reinsured other than as expressed in this Agreement. The parties may make changes or additions to this Agreement, but they will not be considered to be in effect unless they are made by means of a written amendment that has been signed and dated by both parties.

4.	DURATION OF THE AGREEMENT

The duration of this Agreement will be unlimited. However, either party may terminate the Agreement for new business at any time by giving the other a 90-day prior written notice. THE REINSURER will continue to accept new reinsurance during the 90-day period.

Existing reinsurance will not be affected by the termination of this Agreement with respect to new reinsurance. Existing reinsurance will remain in force until the termination or expiry of the underlying policies on which the reinsurance is based and until THE REINSURER has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that THE COMPANY continues to pay reinsurance premiums as described in the ‘PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUMS’ section. However, existing reinsurance may be terminated in accordance with the recapture provision described in the ‘RECAPTURE’ section.

5.	BASIS OF REINSURANCE

Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on the Yearly Renewable Term basis on the portion of each policy that is reinsured as described in Schedule A.

6.	AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE TERMS

THE REINSURER agrees to automatically accept contractual risks on the life insurance policies shown in Schedule A, subject to the following requirements:

CONVENTIONAL UNDERWRITING. Automatic reinsurance applies only to insurance applications underwritten by THE COMPANY according to THE COMPANY’s conventional underwriting and issue practices at the time of application. Upon request, THE COMPANY shall provide THE REINSURER with a copy of THE COMPANY’s current underwriting and issue practices and guidelines.

From time to time, it may be appropriate for THE COMPANY to make changes in its underwriting practices. THE COMPANY must provide a 120-day advance written notice to THE REINSURER before the effective date of any such material changes. If THE REINSURER determines that the change in underwriting practice would result in a change in reinsurance premium rates, it must communicate to THE COMPANY the proposed new rates as soon as possible within 60 days of the notice of the underwriting change. If the rate change is unacceptable, THE COMPANY may terminate this Agreement for the reinsurance of new business by providing a written termination notice within 60 days. The effective date of the termination will be the effective date of the proposed premium rate change.

b.	RESIDENCE AND TRAVEL. To be eligible for automatic reinsurance, each insured must either be a resident of the United States or Canada at the time of issue or be a resident of another country that meets THE COMPANY’s special underwriting requirements pertaining to foreign residence.

Applications with Foreign Travel qualify for automatic reinsurance except when such travel is to a country specifically not allowed under THE COMPANY’s foreign travel requirements. “Foreign Travel” is defined as no more than three months outside the United States or Canada.

c.	OCCUPATION. To be eligible for automatic reinsurance, the insured must not be employed in an occupation as shown in the Occupation Exclusion List in Schedule A.

d.	AUTOMATIC ACCEPTANCE LIMIT. For any policy to be reinsured under automatic reinsurance, the face amount shall not exceed the Automatic Acceptance Limit as shown in Schedule A.

e.	JUMBO LIMIT. For any policy to be reinsured under automatic reinsurance, the total amount of insurance in force and applied for in all companies, of which THE COMPANY is aware, shall not exceed the Jumbo Limit as shown in Schedule A.

f.	MINIMUM CESSION. The minimum amount of reinsurance per cession that THE REINSURER will accept is shown in Schedule A.

g.	FACULTATIVE QUOTES. The risk is on a life that has not been submitted facultatively to THE REINSURER or any other reinsurer within the last two years, unless the reason for any prior facultative submission was solely for capacity that may now be accommodated within the terms of this Agreement.

7.	PORTIONS REINSURED AND RETAINED UNDER AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE

a.	AUTOMATIC PORTION REINSURED. For any policy reinsured under automatic reinsurance, the portion reinsured is shown in Schedule A.

b.	AUTOMATIC PORTION RETAINED. For any policy reinsured under automatic reinsurance, THE COMPANY will retain, and not otherwise reinsure, an amount of insurance on each life as shown in Schedule A.

8.	AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE NOTICE PROCEDURE

After the policy has been paid for and delivered, THE COMPANY will submit, or cause to be submitted, to THE REINSURER all relevant individual policy information, as defined in Schedule C.

9.	FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE

THE COMPANY may apply for facultative reinsurance with THE REINSURER on a risk if the automatic reinsurance terms are not met or if the terms are met and THE COMPANY prefers to apply for facultative reinsurance. To obtain a facultative reinsurance quote, THE COMPANY must submit the following:

a.	A form substantially similar to the “Application for Reinsurance” form shown in Schedule E.

b.	Copies of the original insurance application, medical examiner’s reports, financial information, and all other papers and information obtained by THE COMPANY regarding the insurability of the risk.

After receipt of THE COMPANY’s application, THE REINSURER will promptly examine the material and notify THE COMPANY either of the terms and conditions of THE REINSURER’s offer for facultative reinsurance or that no offer will be made. THE REINSURER’s offer expires 120 days after the offer is made unless the written offer specifically states otherwise. If THE COMPANY accepts THE REINSURER’s offer, then THE COMPANY will make a dated notation of its acceptance in its underwriting file and provide as soon as possible a formal reinsurance cession to THE REINSURER using a form substantially similar to the Notification of Reinsurance form shown in Schedule F. If THE COMPANY does not accept THE REINSURER’s offer, then THE COMPANY will notify THE REINSURER in writing as soon as possible.

10.	COMMENCEMENT OF REINSURANCE COVERAGE

Commencement of THE REINSURER’s reinsurance coverage under this Agreement is described below:

a.	AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE. THE REINSURER’s reinsurance coverage for any policy that is ceded automatically under this Agreement will begin and end simultaneously with THE COMPANY’s contractual liability for the policy reinsured.

In addition, THE REINSURER will be liable for benefits paid under THE COMPANY’s conditional receipt, temporary insurance agreement, or limited insurance agreement if (1) all of the conditions for automatic reinsurance coverage under the ‘AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE TERMS’ section of this Agreement are met, or (2) the death is accidental and the conditions listed in sections ‘b’ through ‘g’ under the ‘AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE TERMS’ section of this Agreement are met. THE REINSURER’s liability under THE COMPANY’s conditional receipt, temporary insurance agreement, or limited insurance agreement is limited to the lesser of (1) THE REINSURER’s reinsured portion of the face amount of the policy and (2) THE REINSURER’s quota share percentage multiplied by $1,000,000.

The pre-issue liability applies only once on any given life at one time no matter how many conditional receipts, temporary insurance agreements or limited insurance agreements are in effect. After a policy has been issued, no reinsurance benefits are payable under this pre-issue coverage provision.

FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE. THE REINSURER’s reinsurance coverage for any policy that is ceded facultatively under this Agreement shall begin when (1) THE COMPANY accepts THE REINSURER’s offer by making a dated notation of its acceptance in its underwriting file and communicating its written acceptance to THE REINSURER and (2) the policy has been issued.

In accordance with (1) in the previous paragraph, THE REINSURER will be liable for benefits paid under THE COMPANY’s conditional receipt, temporary insurance agreement or limited insurance agreement if: (1) the policy is pre-paid, (2) THE REINSURER has made a binding offer, and (3) THE COMPANY has accepted that offer by communicating its written acceptance to THE REINSURER. THE REINSURER’s liability under THE COMPANY’s conditional receipt, temporary insurance agreement, or limited insurance agreement will be limited to the lesser of (a) THE REINSURER’s reinsured portion of the face amount of the policy and (b) the portion of $1,000,000 that is derived as the amount of capacity reserved by THE COMPANY from THE REINSURER divided by the sum of the total amount of capacity reserved by THE COMPANY from all reinsurers plus the amount to be retained by THE COMPANY.

11.	REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES

a.	LIFE REINSURANCE. The reinsurance premiums per $1000 are shown in Schedule B.

Reinsurance premiums for renewals will be calculated using (1) the issue age of the insured under the policy, (2) the duration since issuance of the policy and (3) the current underwriting classification.

b.	RATES NOT GUARANTEED.

Although THE REINSURER anticipates that the premium rates in Schedule B will apply indefinitely, THE REINSURER reserves the right to change the rates for new or inforce business at any time.

i. New Business

If THE REINSURER changes the rates for new business, it will give THE COMPANY a 90-day prior written notice of the change. Any change applies only to reinsurance premiums due after the expiration of the notice period.

ii. Inforce Business

If THE REINSURER changes the rates for inforce business, it will give THE COMPANY a 90-day prior written notice of the change. Any change applies only to reinsurance premiums due after the expiration of the notice period.

If THE REINSURER changes rates when THE COMPANY has not changed its charges to the policyowners of the policies reinsured under this Agreement, THE COMPANY may recapture the reinsurance under the ‘RECAPTURE’ section of this Agreement. If THE COMPANY changes its charges to the policyowners of the policies reinsured under this Agreement, THE REINSURER has the right to change its rates, but any change by THE REINSURER must be proportionate to THE COMPANY’s change. If THE REINSURER’s change is not proportionate to THE COMPANY’s change, then THE COMPANY may recapture the reinsurance under the ‘RECAPTURE’ section of this Agreement.

12.	PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUMS

a.	PREMIUM MODE. THE COMPANY may chose to pay premiums on an Annual or Monthly Mode as stated below. At the inception of this Agreement, THE COMPANY will pay premiums on an Annual Mode.

At any time during the life of this Agreement, THE COMPANY may chose to change from Annual Mode to Monthly Mode and vice versa by providing THE REINSURER with written notice at least 30 days prior to change.

i.	Annual Mode

If THE COMPANY elects to pay reinsurance premiums on an Annual Mode, then for each policy reinsured under this Agreement, premiums are due on the issue date and each subsequent policy anniversary.

ii.	Monthly Mode

If THE COMPANY elects to pay reinsurance premiums on an Monthly Mode, then for each policy reinsured under this Agreement, monthly premiums are due on the issue date and on each subsequent policy monthly date. Each month, THE COMPANY will calculate the amount of monthly premiums as the amount equal to the product of the following three items: (1) the annual reinsurance premium as defined in the ‘REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES’ section, (2) 1/12, and (3) the monthly adjustment factor as defined in Schedule B.

PREMIUM DUE. For each policy reinsured under this Agreement, reinsurance premiums are payable annually in advance. These premiums are due on the issue date and each subsequent policy anniversary. Within 30 days after the close of each Reporting Period, as defined in Schedule A, THE COMPANY will send to THE REINSURER a statement of account for that period along with payment of the full balance due. On any payment date, monies payable between THE REINSURER and THE COMPANY under this Agreement may be netted to determine the payment due. This offset will apply regardless of the insolvency of either party as described in the ‘INSOLVENCY’ section, to the extent permitted by law. If the statement of account shows a balance due THE COMPANY, THE REINSURER will remit that amount to THE COMPANY within 30 days of receipt of the statement of account. All financial transactions under this Agreement will be in United States dollars. If the reinsurance premium amounts cannot be determined on an exact basis by the dates described below, such payments will be paid in accordance with a mutually agreed upon formula which will approximate the actual payments. Adjustments will then be made to reflect actual amounts when such information is available.

FAILURE TO PAY PREMIUMS. If reinsurance premiums are not paid within 60 days of the close of the Reporting Period, for reasons other than those due to error or omission as defined below in the ‘ERROR AND OMISSIONS’ section, the premiums will be considered in default and THE REINSURER may terminate the reinsurance by providing a 30-day prior written notice, provided payment is not received within that 30-day period. THE REINSURER will have no further liability as of the termination date for benefits applicable to periods for which premium is not paid. THE COMPANY will be liable for the prorated reinsurance premiums to the termination date. THE COMPANY agrees that it will not force termination under the provisions of this paragraph solely to avoid the recapture requirements or to transfer the block of business reinsured to another reinsurer.

THE COMPANY may reinstate reinsurance terminated for non-payment of balances due at any time within 60 days following the date of termination. However, THE REINSURER will have no liability for claims incurred between the termination date and the reinstatement date.

PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT. If THE COMPANY overpays a reinsurance premium and THE REINSURER accepts the overpayment, THE REINSURER’s acceptance will not constitute or create a reinsurance liability or increase in any existing reinsurance liability. Instead, THE REINSURER will be liable to THE COMPANY for a credit in the amount of the overpayment. If a reinsured policy terminates, THE REINSURER will refund the excess reinsurance premium. This refund will be on a prorated basis without interest from the date of termination of the policy to the date to which a reinsurance premium has been paid.

13.	PREMIUM TAX REIMBURSEMENT

See Schedule B.

14.	DAC TAX AGREEMENT

THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER, herein collectively called the "Parties", or singularly the "Party", hereby enter into an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.848-2(g) (8) as promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code, as found in Title 26 of the United States Code, hereinafter referred to as the Regulations and the IRC. Both parties agree to make the election contemplated by this ‘DAC TAX AGREEMENT’ section by timely attaching to their U.S. tax returns the schedule contemplated by Section 1.848-2(g)(8)(ii) of the Regulations. Furthermore, the parties agree to the following:

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

b.	THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER agree to exchange information pertaining to the net consideration under this Agreement each year to insure consistency or as otherwise required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service;

c.	THE COMPANY will submit to THE REINSURER by May 1 of each year its calculation of the net consideration for the preceding calendar year.

THE REINSURER may contest such calculation by providing an alternative calculation to THE COMPANY in writing within 30 days of THE REINSURER's receipt of THE COMPANY's calculation. If THE REINSURER does not so notify THE COMPANY, THE REINSURER will report the net consideration as determined by THE COMPANY in THE REINSURER's tax return for the previous calendar year;

If THE REINSURER contests THE COMPANY's calculation of the net consideration, the parties will act in good faith to reach an agreement as to the correct amount within 30 days of the date THE REINSURER submits its alternative calculation. If THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER do not reach agreement on the net amount of consideration within such 30-day period, then the net amount of consideration for such year shall be determined by an independent accounting firm acceptable to both THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER within 20 days after the expiration of such 30-day period.

f.	THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER agree that this election shall first be effective for the 2011 calendar tax year and will be effective for all subsequent taxable years for which this Agreement remains in effect.

THE REINSURER and THE COMPANY represent and warrant that they are subject to U.S. taxation under either Subchapter L of Chapter 1, or Subpart F of Subchapter N of Chapter 1 of the IRC of 1986, as amended.

15.

REPORTS

The reporting period is shown in Schedule A. For each reporting period, THE COMPANY will submit reports to THE REINSURER with information that is substantially similar to the information displayed in Schedule C.

In addition, the reports will include a billing and accounting summary and a policy exhibit summary similar to the reports shown in Schedule D.

Within 15 business days after the end of each calendar year, THE COMPANY will submit a reserve summary similar to that shown in Schedule D. THE COMPANY will also submit this reserve summary within 10 business days after the end of each other calendar quarter.

16.	RESERVES FOR REINSURANCE

See Schedule A.

17.

CLAIMS

NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS. THE COMPANY will notify THE REINSURER as soon as reasonably possible after THE COMPANY receives a claim for a policy reinsured under this Agreement. In addition, THE COMPANY will provide THE REINSURER with notification of contestable claims along with the relevant documentation, for all claims incurred within the first two policy years on policies where (1) THE REINSURER’s net amount at risk is in excess of $100,000 or (2) THE COMPANY intends to contest the claim.

For claims where THE COMPANY has received all proper claim proofs and paid the claim, THE COMPANY will notify THE REINSURER that a claim is due under this Agreement. THE COMPANY will send to THE REINSURER an itemized statement of amounts due THE COMPANY under this Agreement along with all relevant information with respect to the claim, including the claim proofs. However, for incontestable claims, claim proofs will not be required by THE REINSURER if THE REINSURER’s net amount at risk is less than or equal to $200,000 and THE COMPANY has paid the claim. In such cases, THE COMPANY will provide THE REINSURER with the cause of death.

In the event THE COMPANY chooses to contest a claim, THE COMPANY will send to THE REINSURER all relevant documentation, including claim proofs, regardless of the net amount at risk.

AMOUNT AND PAYMENT OF BENEFITS. As soon as THE REINSURER receives proper claim notice and any required proof of the claim, reinsurance benefits are due and payable to THE COMPANY. THE REINSURER is bound by THE COMPANY’s decisions regarding settlement of all claims. Payment of the benefits by THE REINSURER will be made in a single sum, regardless of THE COMPANY’s settlement options. The maximum benefit payable to THE COMPANY under each reinsured policy is the amount specifically reinsured with THE REINSURER. In the event that THE REINSURER has not paid reinsurance benefits to THE COMPANY within sixty days of the due date, THE COMPANY may charge interest on the amount due at an interest rate equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate, U.S. Denomination-Fixed Three-month, (LIBOR), as of when the payment was due. In addition, in the event that reinsurance benefits are sixty days past due, THE COMPANY may recapture the reinsurance as described in the ‘RECAPTURE’ section.

MISREPRESENTATION AND SUICIDE. If a misrepresentation on the life insurance application results in the return of premiums to the policyholder, THE REINSURER will refund all of the reinsurance premiums paid for that policy to THE COMPANY. If a suicide results in the payment of a death benefit equal to the premiums paid by the policyholder, THE REINSURER will pay to THE COMPANY an amount equal to the reinsurance premiums paid on that policy under this Agreement.

d.	LIVING NEEDS BENEFITS. Living Needs Benefit claims will be administered in the same way as a death claim and Living Needs Benefit claims, both full and partial, will be specifically identified as such on the lists of claims paid.

CLAIM SETTLEMENTS. THE REINSURER agrees that THE COMPANY will use its standard claim practices and guidelines in the adjudication of all claims on policies reinsured under this Agreement. THE REINSURER has the right to inspect, at the COMPANY's offices, the COMPANY's written claims practices and guidelines. Once THE REINSURER has been notified of a contestable claim in accordance with subsection a. of this ‘CLAIMS’ section, THE REINSURER will have two business days to review the information and offer advice to THE COMPANY as to whether the claim should be paid or denied. If there is a disagreement between THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER as to whether THE COMPANY should pay or deny the claim, THE COMPANY will make a reasonable effort to secure mutual agreement between the parties. Any advice offered by THE REINSURER will not be binding on THE COMPANY.

THE COMPANY will advise THE REINSURER of any intention to contest a claim involving a policy reinsured hereunder and provide THE REINSURER with copies of all relevant documents. THE REINSURER may choose not to participate in the contest of a contestable claim. THE REINSURER will have 10 business days to communicate its decision whether to participate in the contested claim. If THE REINSURER chooses not to participate, it will discharge its liability by immediately paying to THE COMPANY the full amount of THE REINSURER’s liability on the portion of the policy reinsured under this Agreement, regardless of any subsequent outcome of such contest.

CLAIM EXPENSES. THE REINSURER will pay its share of any interest paid by THE COMPANY on any claim payment including but not limited to, delayed claim interest on claims, and legal interest paid on any refund of premium associated with misrepresentation or suicide. In addition, THE REINSURER will pay its share of the unusual expense of THE COMPANY of investigating and adjudicating contestable or fraudulent claims, including investigation expenses and compensation expenses charged by THE COMPANY’s Special Investigation Unit. The term “unusual expense” shall mean all expenses of THE COMPANY associated with the contestable claim other than normal and customary claim administration expenses that are commonly incurred with the normal and customary settlement of non-contestable claims. Also, expenses incurred in connection with a dispute or contest arising out of conflicting claims of entitlement to policy proceeds or benefits that THE COMPANY admits are payable are not a claim expense under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, THE REINSURER will not be liable for any portion of interest or unusual expenses for any period of time after THE REINSURER chooses not to participate in a contested, compromised or litigated claim.

EXTRACONTRACTUAL DAMAGES. Generally, THE REINSURER will not participate in punitive or compensatory damages, which are awarded against THE COMPANY as a result of an act, omission or course of conduct committed by THE COMPANY in connection with the policies reinsured under this Agreement. THE REINSURER will, however, pay its proportionate share of the statutory penalties awarded against THE COMPANY in connection with claims on the policies reinsured under this Agreement. The parties recognize that circumstances may arise in which equity would require THE REINSURER to share proportionately in certain punitive or compensatory damages. Such circumstances are difficult to define in advance, but generally would be those situations in which THE REINSURER was an active party and either directed, consented to, or ratified the act, omission, or course of conduct of THE COMPANY which ultimately results in the assessment of punitive and/or compensatory damages. In such situations, THE COMPANY and THE REINSURER would share such damages assessed in proportion to each parties’ share of the policy reinsured under this Agreement.

For purposes of the provision, the following definitions will apply:

“Punitive Damages” are those damages awarded as a penalty, the amounts of which are not governed or fixed by statute;

“Statutory Penalties” are those amounts that are awarded as a penalty, but are fixed in amount by statute;

“Compensatory Damages” are those amounts awarded to compensate for actual damages sustained, and are not awarded as a penalty, nor fixed in amount by statute.

18.	MISREPRESENTATION AND MISSTATEMENT

If there is an adjustment for a misrepresentation or misstatement of age or sex, a corresponding adjustment to the reinsurance benefit will be made.

19.	POLICY CHANGES

a.	NOTICE. If a reinsured policy is changed as described below, a corresponding change will be made in the reinsurance for that policy. THE COMPANY will notify THE REINSURER of the change in THE COMPANY's next report as stated in the ‘REPORTS’ section.

INCREASES. If a request for an increase in the amount of insurance is made for a reinsured policy and the insured meets THE COMPANY’s underwriting requirements and THE COMPANY approves the increase under the policy, then the increase will be added to the policy as a new layer. The increase layer will have a separate policy record and its own effective date. The portion of the layer reinsured under this Agreement is equal to the amount shown in Schedule A.

c.	REDUCTION OR TERMINATION. If the amount of insurance on a reinsured policy is reduced, the reinsurance will be reduced proportionately as of the effective date of the reduction.

If a reinsured policy is terminated, the reinsurance will cease on the date of such termination.

d.	PLAN CHANGES. If a reinsured policy is changed to another plan of insurance that is not currently reinsured under this Agreement as defined in Schedule A, then the reinsurance, with respect to the reinsured policy, under this Agreement will cease as of the effective date of the change.

If a policy that is not reinsured under this Agreement is changed to a plan that is reinsured under this Agreement as defined in Schedule A and the insured has met THE COMPANY’s underwriting requirements for the plan change, then reinsurance will commence as of the policy date of the new plan.

DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGE. If the death benefit option under a reinsured policy is changed, then the face amount of insurance is either increased or decreased, so that the net amount at risk reinsured under this Agreement immediately after the change will be the same as immediately before the change. After the effective date of the death benefit option change, the reinsurance will be calculated based on the new face amount of insurance.

REDUCED PAID-UP INSURANCE. If any policy reinsured under this Agreement is changed to Reduced Paid-Up Insurance, the net amount at risk reinsured will be adjusted as appropriate and reinsurance will be continued in accordance with the provisions of the underlying policy. Reinsurance payments for the adjusted policy will be calculated using (1) the issue age of the original policy, (2) the duration since issuance of the original policy and (3) the underwriting classification immediately prior to the change to Reduced Paid-Up Insurance.

20.

RECAPTURE

At any time during the term of the Agreement, THE COMPANY may elect to recapture in full the coverage reinsured under this Agreement following the occurrence of any of the following events:

1)	Non-payment of reinsurance claims that are not in dispute that are 60 calendar days past due from THE REINSURER, provided that THE COMPANY provides THE REINSURER with 30 days prior written notice and that payment is not received within that 30 day period.

2)	Material breach by THE REINSURER of any term or condition of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within a period of at least 60 calendar days following the delivery of notice of such breach from THE COMPANY to THE REINSURER.

3)	THE REINSURER is deemed insolvent as described in the ‘INSOLVENCY’ section.

4)	The occurrence of a “Risk Trigger Event” as defined in Schedule A of this Agreement.

5)	A change in reinsurance premium rates that is unacceptable to THE COMPANY in accordance with the ‘REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES’ section of this Agreement.

6)	Any representation or warranty made by THE REINSURER under this Agreement proves to be untrue in any material respect.

7)	A change in ultimate ownership or control.

In addition, at any time after the twentieth policy anniversary, THE COMPANY may elect to recapture all or an appropriate portion of the coverage reinsured under this Agreement to reflect increases in the maximum retention limits for THE COMPANY and all of its affiliates, collectively, subsequent to the date of policy issue. These maximum retention limits as of the effective date of this Agreement are equal to the amounts shown in the Risk Retention Limits table shown in Schedule A. The portion of the coverage that may be recaptured must be directly related to the increase in the limits. To illustrate, if the maximum retention limits are increased by 100%, then the portion that may be recaptured from all reinsurers of the policies reinsured under this Agreement would be equal to 100% of the portion of each reinsured policy that is retained by THE COMPANY. Furthermore, the portion that may be recaptured from THE REINSURER would be determined as THE REINSURER’s prorata share of the total portion reinsured with all reinsurers.

If THE COMPANY elects to recapture the risks ceded to THE REINSURER under this Agreement as stated above, it will do so by giving written notice to THE REINSURER. Upon the delivery of such notice, all of the risks previously ceded under each of the policies subject to this Agreement shall be recaptured, effective as of the date specified in THE COMPANY’s notice. If THE COMPANY does not specify in the written notice the date that such recapture is to be effective, then the recapture shall be effective immediately upon THE REINSURER’s receipt of the notice.

If a policy is recaptured, THE REINSURER will pay THE COMPANY the unearned reinsurance premium within 30 days following the date of recapture. THE REINSURER shall not be liable, under this Agreement, for any claims incurred after the date of recapture, but shall remain liable for all claims incurred on or prior to the date of recapture.

No exercise by THE COMPANY of any recapture right will give rise to any claims for damages, lost profits, or other form of compensation to THE REINSURER, other than payment of a prorated sum for any amount that might be due and owing under the reinsurance treaty up to the effective date of the recapture.

21.	REINSTATEMENTS

AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE. If THE COMPANY reinstates a policy that was originally ceded to THE REINSURER as automatic reinsurance, then THE REINSURER’s reinsurance for the policy shall be reinstated.

FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE. If THE COMPANY has been requested to reinstate a policy that was originally ceded to THE REINSURER as facultative reinsurance and the reinstatement is processed under THE COMPANY’s Long Form Reinstatement Process, then THE COMPANY will re-submit the appropriate evidence for the case to THE REINSURER for underwriting approval before the reinsurance can be reinstated.

c.	PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT. Reinsurance premiums for the interval during which the policy was lapsed will be paid to THE REINSURER by THE COMPANY.

22.	ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

If either THE REINSURER or THE COMPANY fails to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement and it is shown that the failure was unintentional or the result of a misunderstanding or an administrative oversight on the part of either party, this Agreement will remain in effect. If the failure to comply changes the operation or effect of this Agreement, both parties will be put back to the positions they would have occupied if the failure to comply had not occurred.

This section will not apply to any facultative submission until THE COMPANY has communicated its written acceptance to THE REINSURER.

23.	INSOLVENCY

For the purpose of this Agreement, THE COMPANY or THE REINSURER shall be deemed “insolvent” if one or more of the following occurs:

a.	A court-appointed receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, government official or similar officer takes possession of the property or assets of either THE COMPANY or THE REINSURER; or

b.	Either THE COMPANY or THE REINSURER is placed in receivership, rehabilitation, liquidation, conservation, bankruptcy or similar status pursuant to the laws of any state or of the United States; or

c.	Either THE COMPANY or THE REINSURER becomes subject to an order to rehabilitate or an order to liquidate as defined by the insurance code of the jurisdiction of the domicile of THE COMPANY or THE REINSURER, as the case may be.

In the event of the insolvency of THE COMPANY, all reinsurance ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by THE REINSURER directly to THE COMPANY or to its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of THE COMPANY under the contract or contracts reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of THE COMPANY. It is understood, however, that in the event of the insolvency of THE COMPANY, the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of the insolvent Company shall give written notice of the pendency of a claim against THE COMPANY on the policy reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding, and during the pendency of such claim THE REINSURER may investigate such claim 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 COMPANY or is liquidator or receiver or statutory successor.

In the event THE REINSURER is deemed insolvent, THE REINSURER will be bound by any legal directions imposed by its liquidator, conservator, or statutory successor. However, and if not in conflict with such legal directions, THE COMPANY shall have the right to cancel this Agreement with respect to occurrences taking place on or after the date THE REINSURER first evidences insolvency. Such right to cancel shall be exercised by providing THE REINSURER (or its liquidator, conservator, receiver or statutory successor) with a written notice of THE COMPANY’s intent to recapture ceded business. If THE COMPANY exercises such right to cancel and recapture ceded business, such election shall be in lieu of any premature recapture fee. Upon such election, THE COMPANY shall be under no obligation to THE REINSURER, its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor; however, THE REINSURER, its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor shall be liable for all claims incurred prior to the date of recapture.

24.	ARBITRATION

GENERAL. All disputes and differences under or arising out of this Agreement that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the parties shall be decided by arbitration. The arbitrators will have the authority to interpret this Agreement and, in doing so, will consider the customs and practices of the life insurance and life reinsurance industry. The arbitrators will consider this Agreement as an honorable engagement rather than merely a legal obligation, and they are relieved of all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The arbitration shall take place in the city in which THE COMPANY maintains its principal place of business.

NOTICE. To initiate arbitration, one of the parties will notify the other, in writing, of its desire to arbitrate. The notice will state the nature of the dispute and the desired remedies. The party to which the notice is sent will respond to the notification in writing within 10 days of receipt of the notice. At that time, the responding party will state any additional dispute it may have regarding the subject of arbitration.

PROCEDURE. Arbitration will be heard before a panel of three disinterested arbitrators. The arbitrators will be current or former executive officers or employees of life insurance or reinsurance companies; however, these companies will not be either party or any of their reinsurers or affiliates. Each party will appoint one arbitrator. Notice of the appointment of these arbitrators will be given by each party to the other party within 30 days of the date of mailing of the notification initiating the arbitration. These two arbitrators will, as soon as possible, but no longer than 45 days after the date of the mailing of the notification initiating the arbitration, then select the third arbitrator. Should either party fail to appoint an arbitrator within thirty business days after the other party has given written notice of its arbitrator appointment, the party that has given notice of its arbitrator appointment may appoint the second arbitrator.

Should the two initial arbitrators be unable to agree on the choice of a third arbitrator, each arbitrator will nominate three candidates, two of whom the other will decline, and the decision will be made by drawing lots on the final selection. This process will be repeated until a candidate has agreed to serve as the third arbitrator. Once chosen, the three arbitrators will have the authority to decide all substantive and procedural issues by a majority vote. The arbitration hearing will be held on the date fixed by the arbitrators at a location agreed upon by the parties. In no event will this date be later than six months after the appointment of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators will issue a written decision from which there will be no appeal. Either party may reduce this decision to a judgment before any court that has jurisdiction of the subject of the arbitration.

d.	COSTS. Each party will pay the fees of its own attorneys, the arbitrator appointed by that party, and all other expenses connected with the presentation of its own case. The two parties will share equally the cost of the third arbitrator.

25.	GOOD FAITH

Each party agrees that all matters with respect to this Agreement require its utmost good faith.

26.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
