LIABILITY
6.01 The Reinsurer's liability for automatic reinsurance shall begin
simultaneously with the Ceding Company's liability. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Reinsurer's liability for reinsurance shall terminate when the
Ceding Company's liability terminates.
6.02 The Reinsurer's obligations hereunder shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the particular policy form(s) reinsured under this Agreement to
the extent such terms and conditions are applicable to the risks reinsured
hereunder and not contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.03 This Agreement covers only the liability for Reinsurance Benefits paid
under Contract Forms or Benefit Rider Forms (including Investment Fund Options)
that were reviewed and approved by Reinsurer prior to their issuance or that are
deemed to have been approved as provided in this Article. Approved Contract
Forms and approved Funds, as supplemented by additional materials, are listed on
Schedules A and C respectively. Ceding Company shall give Reinsurer advance
notice of any upcoming changes to approved Contract Forms and Funds (and a copy
of the revised Contract Form and/or prospectus and a revised Schedule A and/or
Schedule C, as appropriate) that can be reasonably expected to affect risks
reinsured under this Agreement. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
(i) changes to policy form, contract, or prospectus wording that can be
reasonably expected to affect risks reinsured under this Agreement, (ii) changes
to fees or fee structure, and (iii) addition, deletion or substitution of
available Funds that can be reasonably expected to affect the risk profile of
the available Funds. Reinsurer will respond in writing to such notice within
thirty (30) days following delivery thereof; provided, however, that such
changes are deemed approved and with no change in the Reinsurance Premium Rate
unless the Reinsurer's written response in accordance with the following
paragraphs is submitted within such thirty (30) day time period. Rejection of a
change will not affect reinsurance of Contract Forms listed under Schedule A
with the Investment Fund Options in Schedule C, including amendments to
Schedules A and C that were previously approved (or deemed approved) by
Reinsurer.
6.04 Ceding Company's notice with respect to any change in policy form,
contract or prospectus wording or in fees or fee structure for which notice is
required pursuant to Section 6.03 shall include a copy of the revised Contract
Form and a revised Schedule A. Within thirty (30) days of Reinsurer's receipt of
such notice, Reinsurer shall notify Ceding Company of its determination whether
the revision requires amending this Agreement to adjust the Reinsurance Premium
Rates. If Reinsurer determines that the revision requires amending this
Agreement, Reinsurer's notice thereof shall so state and include both a written
demonstration that the change has materially affected the risks reinsured under
this Agreement and a statement of the required increase in the Reinsurance
Premium Rates which shall be commensurate with such change in risk. If Reinsurer
determines that the revised Contract Form requires an amendment to the
Reinsurance Premium Rates, the revised Reinsurance Premium Rates shall be no
greater than twice the Reinsurance Premium Rates provided in Section 4.01.

6.05 Ceding Company's notice with respect to any Fund deletion from Schedule C
for which notice is required pursuant to Section 6.03 will include a copy of the
revised Schedule C. Such Fund deletion will be considered to have the potential
to materially affect the risk profile of the available Funds only if (i) the
deletion removes the only Fund then in a Morningstar Fund category listed in
Schedule D, and (ii) immediately following the deletion, the remaining available
Funds represent less than seven (7) of the Morningstar Fund categories listed in
Schedule D. If a Fund deletion may materially affect the risk profile in
aggregate of the available Fund options within the meaning of the preceding
sentence, the Reinsurance Premium Rates will be adjusted in an amount consistent
with the demonstrated increase in risk, provided that the new Reinsurance
Premium Rates shall be no greater than twice the Reinsurance Premium Rates
provided in Section 4.01. Reinsurer shall notify Ceding Company of any such
increased Reinsurance Premium Rates within thirty (30) days following Ceding
Company's notice. Other than as expressly provided herein with respect to
deletions, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Ceding
Company to maintain a representation of Morningstar categories among the
Investment Fund Options.
6.06 Ceding Company's notice to Reinsurer with respect to any Fund addition or
substitution to Schedule C for which notice is required pursuant to Section 6.03
will include a description of the Fund to be added, or substituted, as set forth
in the prospectus for such Fund (or corresponding information), and a revised
Schedule C. Ceding Company shall deliver any additional information reasonably
requested by Reinsurer within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such
request. Such request for information shall not extend the thirty (30) day time
limit placed on Reinsurer for providing any written response. With respect to a
Fund addition that can be reasonably expected to materially affect the risk
profile in aggregate of the available Funds, Reinsurer may, after demonstrating
and providing quantifying information concerning the increased risk in a similar
manner as described in 6.04, adjust consistent with any demonstrated change in
the risk the Reinsurance Premium Rates applied to the portion of the Reinsured
GMDB Amount corresponding to the portion of aggregate Account Value invested in
the new Fund(s); the calculation of such portion shall be made by determining
the percentage of aggregate Account Value invested in the new Funds and applying
that percentage to the Reinsured GMDB Amount. The new Reinsurance Premium Rates
shall be no greater than twice the Reinsurance Premium Rates provided in Section
4.01. A Fund substitution shall be subject to this Section 6.06 if the surviving
Fund is not already listed in Schedule C; otherwise, substitutions will be
subject to Section 6.05.
6.07 The issue age limits must fall within the limits as shown in Schedule A,
unless an exception is permitted by mutual written agreement between the
parties. Ceding Company shall provide prior written notice to Reinsurer of any
changes in its published limits and rules identified on Schedule A, and
Reinsurer shall have no liability with respect to revised limits and rules
unless and until Reinsurer provides written notice to Ceding Company that such
revised limits and rules are acceptable.
6.08 For the avoidance of doubt, all notices pursuant to this Article 6 shall
be in writing as described in Article 21. The parties may designate in writing
persons to receive Article 6 notices who are different from the persons
designated in Article 21.

ARTICLE 8
REPORTING
8.01 The Ceding Company will provide the Reinsurer with information necessary
to properly account for, report, validate and manage the risk of the business
reinsured. Information required as specified in this Article shall be provided
in an electronic format and shall be mutually agreed upon by the Ceding Company
and the Reinsurer.
8.02 Within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar month, the Ceding
Company will submit reports and data in accordance with Schedule E. The Ceding
Company agrees to provide or make available to the Reinsurer reasonable
additional documentation as may be necessary to support the items reported and
manage the risk of the business reinsured.
8.03 The liability of the Reinsurer, that is Reinsurance Benefits payable in
any month less Monthly Reinsurance Premiums (net balance), shall be settled and
paid to the Ceding Company monthly on the basis of the monthly reports prepared
by the Ceding Company as described in Schedule E. Payment of any amount due to
be paid by the Reinsurer or the Ceding Company shall be determined on a net
basis. If the net balance is payable to the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company must
include this payment with the statement. If the net balance is payable to the
Ceding Company, the Reinsurer must remit payment to the Ceding Company within
thirty (30) days after receiving the statement. Any payment not made within the
above specified time periods will be considered delinquent, unless the payment
period is extended as agreed upon by both parties. Delinquent payments will
accrue interest at the 3 month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 100
basis points as of the close of the Business Day on or immediately following the
settlement due date. Such interest shall become immediately due and payable by
the applicable party.
8.04 TERMINATION BECAUSE OF NON-PAYMENT OF PREMIUM. When net balances due to
the Reinsurer on the basis of the monthly reports prepared by the Ceding Company
as described in Schedule E are undisputed and not paid within forty-five (45)
days of the date specified in Section 8.02, the Reinsurer shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement by giving the Ceding Company thirty (30) days
written notice. During this thirty (30) day period, the Ceding Company shall
have the ability to cure this situation by paying the amounts owed with interest
in accordance with Section 8.03 to the Reinsurer as determined by the provisions
of this Agreement. As of the close of this thirty (30) day period, if this
situation has not been cured, this Agreement and all of the Reinsurer's
liability will terminate effective as of the last day of the thirty-day notice
period. Regardless of such termination, the Ceding Company shall continue to be
liable to the Reinsurer for unpaid net balances owed to the Reinsurer. The
Ceding Company will not force termination under this Section 8.04 solely to
avoid the provisions regarding recapture in Article 9 or to transfer the
reinsured policies to another Reinsurer.
8.05 Upon termination by the Reinsurer under Section 8.04 above, the Ceding
Company and the Reinsurer will mutually agree upon the recapture terms. In the
event that the parties cannot reach agreement as to recapture terms, the matter
shall be resolved as provided in Article 10, Actuarial Arbitration.
8.6 CURRENCY. The reinsurance premiums and benefits payable under this
Agreement will be payable in the lawful money of the United States.

RECAPTURE
9.01 Business reinsured under this Agreement will not be eligible for
recapture, unless (a) the Reinsurer is insolvent, (b) the Reinsurer is
delinquent on an undisputed net amount due to the Ceding Company as described in
Section 8.03, the Ceding Company has given the Reinsurer sixty (60) days written
notice of its intent to recapture under the provisions of this Section, and the
Reinsurer has failed to pay the net amount due with interest by the end of the
sixty (60) day notice period, (c) the Reinsurer fails to furnish the required
security under the provisions of Articles 7 or (d) the provisions of Section
16.03 apply.
9.02 In the event business reinsured under this Agreement becomes eligible for
recapture under Section 9.01 above, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will
mutually agree upon the recapture terms. In the event that the parties cannot
reach agreement as to recapture terms, the matter shall be resolved as provided
in Article 10, Actuarial Arbitration.

ARTICLE 10
ACTUARIAL ARBITRATION
10.01 In the event the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company cannot reach agreement
regarding recapture as provided in this Agreement, then the Reinsurer and the
Ceding Company shall mutually appoint an independent actuary who shall
investigate and determine the actuarial value of the business reinsured. Any
actuary appointed pursuant to this Article shall be a Member of the American
Academy of Actuaries and shall be knowledgeable about annuity products and the
related financial risks.
10.02 In the event the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company cannot reach an
agreement on an independent actuary, the matter shall be presented to a panel of
three (3) actuaries. Each party shall appoint an actuary within thirty (30) days
of either party sending written notice as provided in this Agreement that the
parties have reached an impasse and that a panel of actuaries should be
appointed. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an actuary within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from the other party
requesting it to do so, the requesting party may appoint the second actuary. If
the two (2) actuaries fail to agree on the selection of a third actuary within
thirty (30) days of their appointment, each of them shall name three (3)
individuals of whom the other shall decline two (2), and the decision shall be
made by drawing lots. Each actuary appointed or selected shall be disinterested
in the outcome of the commutation or recapture.
10.03 The actuaries shall make their decision using appropriate assumptions as
to interest rates, mortality, lapses and other actuarial assumptions. Key
considerations in determining the financial terms of recapture shall include,
but not be limited to:
(i) Projected claim costs for the business reinsured under this
Agreement,
(ii) Projected future reinsurance premiums for the business reinsured
under this Agreement, and
(iii) The costs of carrying statutory reserves for the business reinsured
under this Agreement and NAIC risk based capital and/or other
required capital measures which are reflective of statutory capital
levels which should be maintained for a company with financial
strength ratings comparable to those of the Ceding Company.
While these items must be considered, it will be up to the arbitration panel to
determine how they should impact the actual determination of the financial
terms. Beyond these specific considerations, the actuaries shall be solely
responsible for determining what else shall be considered and what procedure
they deem appropriate and necessary in the gathering of such facts or data to
reach a decision.
10.04 The decision in writing of the majority of the actuaries shall be final
and binding upon the parties. Judgment may be entered upon the decision in any
court having jurisdiction.
10.05 The Reinsurer and the Ceding Company shall share cost of any actuary
appointed pursuant to this Article on an equal basis.

ARTICLE 11
EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES
11.01 The Reinsurer will not participate in punitive, and/or compensatory
damages and/or statutory penalties that are awarded against the Ceding Company
as a result of an act, omission, or course of conduct committed by the Ceding
Company, its agents, or representatives in connection with benefits reinsured
under this Agreement. The Reinsurer will, however pay its share of statutory
penalties, awarded against the Ceding Company in connection with benefits
reinsured under this Agreement, if the Reinsurer agreed in advance, in writing,
to the specific act of the Ceding Company that resulted in the assessment of
such statutory penalty damages. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reinsurer's
approval of forms, funds as provided under Article 6, shall not cause the
Reinsurer to have liability for punitive, compensatory or statutory damages, as
such approval relates only to the permissibility of those forms or funds for
purposes of this reinsurance, and does not constitute an approval for their use
with customers.
For purposes of this Article, the following definitions will apply.
"Punitive Damages" are those damages awarded as a penalty, the amount of which
is neither governed nor fixed by statute.
"Compensatory Damages" are those amounts awarded to compensate for the actual
damages sustained, and are not awarded as a penalty, nor fixed in amount by
statute.
"Statutory Penalties" are those amounts awarded as a penalty, but are fixed in
amount by statute.

ARTICLE 12
INSOLVENCY
12.01 In the event of the Ceding Company's insolvency and the appointment of a
conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor, the portion of any risk or
obligation assumed by the Reinsurer shall be payable to the conservator,
liquidator, or statutory successor on the basis of claims allowed against the
Ceding Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any conservator,
liquidator, or statutory successor of the company having authority to allow such
claims, without diminution because of that insolvency, or because the
conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a
portion of any claims. Payments by the Reinsurer as set forth in this Section
shall be made directly to the Ceding Company or to its conservator, liquidator,
or statutory successor.
12.02 In the event of the Ceding Company's insolvency, the conservator,
liquidator, or statutory successor shall give written notice of the pendency of
a claim against the Ceding Company on any policies reinsured within a reasonable
time after such claim is filed. The Reinsurer may 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 conservator,
liquidator, or statutory successor.
12.03 The expenses incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to
court approval, against the Ceding Company as part of the expense of
conservation or liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the
benefit which may accrue to the Ceding Company in conservation or liquidation,
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 this claim, the expense shall be shared as
though such expense had been incurred by the Ceding Company.
12.04 In the event of the Reinsurer's insolvency, the Ceding Company may cancel
the Agreement for future new business and will notify the Reinsurer in writing
of its intent. The parties agree to waive the notification period for this
cancellation, and the effective date will be no earlier than the effective date
of the Reinsurer's insolvency. Upon giving written notice to the Reinsurer, the
Ceding Company may also recapture all of the inforce business reinsured by the
Reinsurer under this Agreement. In the event the Ceding Company exercises this
recapture option, Article 9 Recapture will apply.

ARBITRATION
13.01 As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute or
difference between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer relating to the
interpretation or performance of this Agreement, including its formation or
validity, or any transaction under this Agreement, whether arising before or
after termination, shall be submitted to arbitration. Arbitration shall be the
method of dispute resolution, regardless of the insolvency of either party,
unless the conservator, receiver, liquidator or statutory successor is
specifically exempted from arbitration proceeding by applicable law governing
the insolvency.
13.02 Arbitration shall be initiated by the delivery of written notice of
demand for arbitration by one party to another. Such written notice shall
contain a brief statement of the issue(s), the failure on behalf of the parties
to reach amicable agreement and the date of demand for arbitration.
13.03 The arbitrators and umpire shall be present or former disinterested
officers of life reinsurance or life insurance companies other than the two
parties to the Agreement or any company owned by, or affiliated with, either
party. Each party shall appoint an individual as arbitrator and the two so
appointed shall then appoint the umpire. If either party refuses or neglects to
appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the other party may appoint the
second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators do not agree on an umpire within
thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second appointed arbitrator, each of
the two arbitrators shall nominate three (3) individuals. Each arbitrator shall
then decline two (2) of the nominations presented by the other arbitrator. The
umpire shall be chosen from the remaining two (2) nominations by drawing lots.
13.04 The arbitration hearings shall be held in the city in which the Ceding
Company's head office is located or any such other place as may be mutually
agreed. Each party shall submit its case to the arbitrators and umpire within
ninety (90) days of the selection of the umpire or within such longer period as
may be agreed upon or as provided by the discretion of the umpire.
13.05 The arbitration panel shall make its decision with regard to the custom
and usage of the insurance and reinsurance business. The arbitration panel shall
interpret this Agreement as an honorable engagement; they are relieved of all
judicial formalities and may abstain from following strict rules of law. The
arbitration panel shall be solely responsible for determining what shall be
considered and what procedure they deem appropriate and necessary in the
gathering of such facts or data to decide the dispute, including without
limitation, discretionary power to make orders as to matters which it may
consider proper in the circumstances of the case, including pleadings,
discovery, inspection of documents, examination of witnesses and any other
matter whatsoever relating to the conduct of the arbitration and may receive and
act upon such evidence whether oral or written strictly admissible or not as it
shall in its discretion think fit.
13.06 The decision in writing of the majority of the arbitration panel shall be
final and binding upon the parties. Judgment may be entered upon the final
decision of the arbitration panel in any court having jurisdiction. The panel is
empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.
13.07 Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly
and equally bear with the other party the expense of the umpire. Jointly
incurred costs of the arbitration are to be borne equally by

both parties. Jointly incurred costs are specifically defined as any costs that
are not solely incurred by one of the parties. Costs incurred solely by one of
the parties shall be borne by that party.
13.08 Recapture disputes are governed by Actuarial Arbitration in accordance
with Article 10. If other disputes are of an actuarial nature, the parties may
mutually agree to submit the dispute to Actuarial Arbitration in a form
substantially similar to Article 10. If the parties cannot mutually agree to
Actuarial Arbitration, then Arbitration will commence in accordance with this
Section.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
16.01 INSPECTION OF RECORDS.
A. The Reinsurer, or its duly authorized representative, shall have access at
any reasonable time during regular business hours, to all records of the
Ceding Company that reasonably pertain to this Agreement, including the
right to photocopy and retain copies of such documents. Other than as may be
allowed as part of discovery in any arbitration and which shall be subject
to a protective order, the Reinsurer shall not have access to the Ceding
Company's pricing or profitability analysis or risk management guidelines.
Books and records shall be maintained in accordance with prudent standards
of insurance company record keeping and must be retained for a period of at
least three (3) years after the final settlement date. Within one hundred
and fifty (150) days following the end of each calendar year, the Ceding
Company and the Reinsurer shall make available to each other with copies of
their respective audited financial statements.
B. The Ceding Company, or its duly authorized representative, shall have access
at any reasonable time during regular business hours, to the Reinsurer's
books and records of premium and loss accounts and all documents relating to
required security under this Agreement. Ceding Company shall have the right
to photocopy and retain copies of such documents of Reinsurer. In addition,
Reinsurer will provide Ceding Company a copy of this Agreement between the
Ceding Company and the Reinsurer if so requested. Other than as may be
allowed a part of discovery in any arbitration and which shall be subject to
a protective order, the Ceding Company shall not have access to the
Reinsurer's pricing or profitability analysis or risk management guidelines.
Such books and records shall be maintained in accordance with prudent
standards of reinsurance company record keeping and must be retained for a
period of at least three (3) years after the final settlement date.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, for any breach of the
obligations in this paragraph, the Ceding Company's sole remedy shall be a
claim for damages as caused solely by the Reinsurer's failure or inability
to perform its obligations under this paragraph.
C. Upon reasonable notice, each party agrees to cooperate with the other in
complying with any judicial, litigation, arbitration, or regulatory request
or inquiry.
16.02 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTS. The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer agree
that all matters with respect to this Agreement require their utmost good faith.
Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it is solvent on a
statutory basis in all jurisdictions in which it does business or is licensed.
16.03 ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER. Neither this Agreement nor any reinsurance under
this Agreement shall be sold, assigned or transferred by the Ceding Company or
the Reinsurer without prior written consent of the other party. Such approval
shall not unreasonably be withheld. If it is determined that such sale,
assignment or transfer would result in a material adverse economic impact to the
other party relative to the position of the other party before sale, transfer,
or assignment, and the other party so objects, this Agreement shall be
terminated with respect to all business reinsured under this Agreement. The
Ceding Company and the Reinsurer agree to mutually calculate a termination
charge that shall be paid by one party to the other party upon the sale,
transfer, or assignment. This provision is subject to Articles 9 and 10. The
provisions of this Section 16.03 are not intended to preclude the Reinsurer from
retroceding the reinsurance on an indemnity basis, nor to prevent successors in
interest from having rights and obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 17
LETTER OF CREDIT
17.01 If applicable, this Article and Article 7 shall set forth the terms and
conditions under which any letter of credit required hereunder shall be held.
17.02 LETTER OF CREDIT. The Reinsurer shall provide at the Reinsurer's expense
the Ceding Company with a clean, unconditional, evergreen and irrevocable letter
of credit, in the amount specified in the statement described in Section 17.03
below. The terms and bank shall be acceptable to the regulatory authority(ies)
having jurisdiction including New York and Connecticut. The letter of credit
shall follow the format attached hereto as Schedule F.
17.03 STATUTORY RESERVE STATEMENT. The Ceding Company will provide the
Reinsurer with a quarterly statement showing the Reinsurer's share of the
statutory reserve, as defined in Article 7, associated with the reinsured
business. The security in the form of a Letter of Credit or a Trust or any
combination of the two will equal or exceed the security required under Article
7.
17.04 EXPIRATION. The Reinsurer hereby agrees that the letter of credit will
provide for automatic extension of the letter of credit without amendment for
one year from the date of expiration of said letter or any future expiration
date, unless thirty (30) days prior to any expiration the issuing bank notifies
the Ceding Company by Registered Mail that the issuing bank elects not to
consider the letter of credit renewed for any additional period.
17.05 DRAWING UPON LETTER OF CREDIT. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Ceding Company or its successors in interest may draw upon
such credit at any time for one or more of the following purposes only:
a) To pay or reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of
Reinsurance Benefits, to the extent paid by the Ceding Company, but not yet
recovered from the Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of the
business reinsured under this Agreement;
b) To pay or reimburse the Ceding Company for any other amounts necessary
to secure the statutory reserve credit or reduction from liability for
reinsurance taken by the Ceding Company, as calculated in accordance with
7.01;
c) To withdraw, solely to the extent of, and for the uses and purposes
specified herein which remain executory at the time the Ceding Company has
received an effective notice of non-renewal of the letter of credit and the
Reinsurer's liability remains unliquidated and undischarged thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit;
d) To pay or reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of any
other amounts due under this Agreement; and
e) To fund an account representing the Reinsurer's net obligations due
under this Agreement. Such cash deposit will be held in an interest-bearing
account separate from Ceding Company's other assets and interest thereon
will be credited to Reinsurer if Reinsurer is not in breach of this
Agreement.

17.06 EFFECT OF AUTHORIZED WITHDRAWALS. In the event the Ceding Company or its
successors in interest draws upon the letter of credit in accordance with
Section 17.05 above, the Reinsurer shall immediately be entitled to
proportionally reduce its share of the statutory reserve, as defined in Article
7, associated with the reinsured policies.
17.07 AMENDMENT TO LETTER OF CREDIT. At semi-annual intervals to include within
thirty (30) days prior to the end of the calendar year, or more frequently as
determined by the Ceding Company but never more frequently than quarterly, the
Ceding Company shall prepare a specific statement, for the sole purpose of
amending the letter of credit, of the Reinsurer's share of the statutory reserve
associated with the reinsured policies and the security required under Article
7. Such amount provided within thirty (30) days prior to the end of the calendar
year shall necessarily be an estimate of the projected year end Reinsurer's
share of the statutory reserves. If the statement shows that the Reinsurer's
required security under Article 7 exceeds the balance of credit as of the
statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Ceding Company of an amendment to
the letter of credit or an additional letter of credit increasing the amount of
credit by the amount of such difference. If the statement shows, however, that
the Reinsurer's share of the statutory reserve is less than the balance of
credit as of the statement date, the Ceding Company shall, within thirty (30)
days after providing such a statement to the Reinsurer, release such excess
credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the letter of credit reducing the
amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.
17.08 INSOLVENCY. The rights and obligations of the Reinsurer and the Ceding
Company, as set forth in this Article, shall not be diminished in any manner
whatsoever by the insolvency of the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE 18
TRUST
18.01 If applicable, this Article and Article 7 shall set forth the terms and
conditions under which any trust required hereunder shall be held.
18.02 If assets are deposited into a trust as security for the Ceding Company's
reserve credits relating to business reinsured under this Agreement, the
following will apply.
At the time the determination is made to establish a trust, the Ceding Company
will forward to the Reinsurer a statement of the Reinsurer's obligations under
this Agreement and then quarterly thereafter. Upon receipt of the initial
statement, the Reinsurer will establish a trust (the "Trust") at the Reinsurer's
expense for the benefit of the Ceding Company. All expenses associated with the
establishment of the Trust will be borne by the Reinsurer.
The Ceding Company as beneficiary and the Reinsurer as grantor, will enter into
a trust agreement with a trustee pursuant to which the Trust will be established
and funded. The trustee will be a financial institution that is organized or
licensed under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and has been
granted authority to operate with fiduciary powers, and is regulated by federal
or state authorities having regulatory authority over banks and trust companies.
The Reinsurer will deposit assets in the Trust. The value of these assets
divided by 102%, together with any other security the Reinsurer provides to
support this Agreement, will equal or exceed the required security under Article
7. Assets deposited in the Trust will be valued according to their current fair
market value and may consist of (a) cash; (b) securities listed by the
Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners and qualifying as admitted assets; or (c) any other form
of-security acceptable to the insurance commissioner of the Ceding Company's
state of domicile.
The Reinsurer will deliver such assets to the trustee in such form that the
trustee may negotiate the assets without the Reinsurer's consent or signature.
The Ceding Company will be authorized to request a transfer of cash or
securities or their proceeds from the Trust to pay amounts due and owing from
the Reinsurer under this Agreement. However, if there is a bona fide dispute
between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer concerning the amount due from the
Reinsurer for any claim under this Agreement, the Ceding Company will not
request a transfer from the Trust for that claim until such dispute is resolved.
The Ceding Company will promptly return to the Reinsurer any excess value
received from the Trust beyond the amount ultimately determined to be necessary
to fulfill the Reinsurer's obligation under this Agreement.
18.03 DRAWING UPON THE TRUST. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Ceding Company or its successors in interest may draw upon such
trust at any time for one or more of the following purposes only:
a) To pay or reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of
Reinsurance Benefits paid by the Ceding Company, but not yet
recovered from the Reinsurer, under the terms and provisions of the
business reinsured under this Agreement;
Reinsurance ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Effective 04/01/2004

b) To pay or reimburse the Ceding Company for any other amounts
necessary to secure the credit or reduction from liability for
reinsurance taken by the Ceding Company as calculated in accordance
with 7.01 ;
c) To pay or reimburse the Ceding Company for the Reinsurer's share of
any other amounts the Ceding Company claims are due under this
Agreement;
d) To fund an account representing the Reinsurer's net obligations due
under this Agreement. Such cash deposit will be held in an
interest-bearing account separate from Ceding Company's other assets
and interest thereon will be credited to Reinsurer if Reinsurer is
not in breach of this Agreement.
The terms of the trust agreement will require the trustee to transfer cash or
securities or their proceeds to the Ceding Company upon the Ceding Company's
written request, and approval of the Reinsurer shall not be required by the
trustee. The trust agreement will also provide that the Reinsurer has no cause
of action against the trustee for such a transfer.
The Trust will remain in effect for as long as the Reinsurer has outstanding
obligations due under this Agreement and the Trust is required to secure the
Ceding Company's statutory reserve credit, or until terminated by mutual
agreement.

agreed to in writing, except: 1) as necessary for retrocession purposes; 2) as
requested by outside counsel, or external auditors; 3) as required by court
order; or 4) as required or allowed by law or regulation. The Ceding Company
acknowledges that the Reinsurer can aggregate data with other companies
reinsured by the Reinsurer as long as the data cannot be identified as belonging
