hereunder, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
13. Misunderstandings and Oversights. If any failure to pay amounts due or to
perform any other act required by this Agreement is unintentional and caused by
misunderstanding or oversight, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will adjust
the situation to what it would have been had the misunderstanding or oversight
not occurred.
14. Adjustments. If the Ceding Company's liability under any of the annuities
reinsured hereunder is changed because of a misstatement of age, sex or any
other material fact, the Reinsurer will (a) assume that portion of any increase
in the Ceding Company's liability, resulting from the change, which corresponds
to the portion of the annuities reinsured hereunder, and (b) receive credit for
that portion of any decrease in the Ceding Company's liability, resulting from
the change, which corresponds to the portion of the annuities reinsured
hereunder.

arbitration. The arbitrators will construe this Agreement from the standpoint of

insurance and reinsurance business, rather than from the standpoint of strict
law. The parties intend that the arbitrators will make their decision with a
view to effecting the intent of this Agreement.

impartial and present or former officers of life insurance companies other than
the parties to this Agreement or any company owned by or affiliated with either
party. One of the arbitrators will be appointed by the Reinsurer another by the
Ceding Company and the two arbitrators thus selected will select a third
arbitrator before arbitration begins. Should one of the parties decline to
select an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the date of a written request
to do so or should the two arbitrators selected by the parties not be able to
agree upon the choice of a third the appointment(s) will be left to the
President of the American Arbitration Association or its successor. The
arbitrators will decide by a majority of votes and their decision will be final
and binding upon the parties. The costs of arbitration including the fees of the
arbitrators will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitrators decide
otherwise. Any counsel fees incurred by a party in the conduct of arbitration
will be paid by the party incurring the fees.

shall take place in Hartford
Connecticut unless otherwise agreed to in writing
by both the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE XIII
INSOLVENCY
Insolvency. In the event of the Ceding Company's insolvency any payments due
the Ceding Company from the Reinsurer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
will be made directly to the Ceding Company or its conservator, liquidator,
receiver or statutory successor. The reinsurance will be payable by the
Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Company under the
annuities reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding
Company. The conservator, liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the
Ceding Company will give the Reinsurer written notice of the pendency of a claim
against the Ceding Company on any annuity reinsured within a reasonable time
after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of
any such claim the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose in the
Ceding Company's name (or in the name of the Ceding Company's conservator,
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor) in the proceeding where such claim
is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which the Reinsurer may deem
available to the Ceding Company or its conservator, liquidator, receiver or
statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be
chargeable subject to court approval against the Ceding Company as a part of the
expense of liquidation 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.
In the event of the Reinsurer's insolvency this treaty will terminate and the
terminal accounting and settlement described in Article X will occur. Any
payments due the Reinsurer from the Ceding Company pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement will be made directly to the Reinsurer or its conservator, liquidator,
receiver or statutory successor. Any amounts owed by the Reinsurer to the Ceding
Company will be payable without diminution because of the insolvency of
Reinsurer. The conservator, liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the
Reinsurer will give the Ceding Company written notice of the pendency of a claim
against the Reinsurer on any annuity reinsured within a reasonable time after
such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding.
