ARTICLE I
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
A. This Agreement shall be effective as of April 1, 2001 (the "Effective
Date") and amended and restated as of July 1, 2004 as described in Schedule
A. While this Agreement continues in effect, the Cedent shall cede and the

Contracts that are issued by the Cedent on and after April 1, 2001.
B. Ceded Liabilities
1. Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit and Earnings Preservation Benefit
The indemnity cession shall be the share of the MNAR (defined in
Article IV) that is generated, prior to the termination of the

Minimum Death Benefit ("GMDB") and Earnings Preservation Benefit
("EPB") provisions of the Reinsured Contracts, as specified in
Schedule A.
2. Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit
The indemnity cession shall be the share of the annuity payments upon
annuitization that is generated prior to the termination of the
Reinsurer's liability (defined in Article II), by the Guaranteed
Minimum Income Benefit Rider (the "Income Program") provisions of the
Reinsured Contracts, as specified in Schedule A, multiplied by the
IBNARP (defined in Article IV).
3. Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit
The indemnity cession shall be the share of the WBNAR (defined in
Article IV) that is generated prior to the termination of the
Reinsurer's liability (defined in Article II), by the Guaranteed
Withdrawal Benefit Rider (the "Withdrawal Program") provisions of the
Reinsured Contracts, as specified in Schedule A.
4. Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit
The indemnity cession shall be the share of the ABNAR (defined in

C. This Agreement covers only the Cedent's contractual liability for reinsured
claims paid under variable annuity contract forms specified in Schedule A.
D. There are no aggregate or individual claim limits applicable to the
benefits ceded.
E. Spousal Continuances will be covered under this Agreement to the extent
provided by the insured contract.
ARTICLE IV
NET AMOUNT AT RISK
GMDB AND EPB
------------
A. The MNAR (Mortality Net Amount at Risk) for each variable annuity contract
ceded hereunder shall be equal to the following.
MNAR = VNAR + SCNAR + EEMNAR
in which:
VNAR (Variable Net Amount at Risk) = Maximum (a,b) multiplied by the
Reinsurer's Percentage (defined in Schedule A) in which:
a = (Contractual Death Benefit - Account Value) and
b = 0
SCNAR (Surrender Charge Net Amount at Risk) = Surrender Charges multiplied
by the Reinsurer's Percentage
EEMNAR (Earnings Enhancement Mortality Net Amount at Risk) = x% * Maximum
(a,b) multiplied by the Reinsurer's Percentage where:
x% varies by issue age and is as described in the Reinsurance
Contracts specified in Schedule A
a = (Contractual Death Benefit - Total Purchase Payments Not
Withdrawn)
b = 0
B. The death benefit and the surrender charges will be as described in the
variable annuity contract forms specified in Schedule A.
GMIB
----
C. The IBNAR (Income Benefit Net Amount at Risk) for each variable annuity
contract ceded hereunder shall be equal to the following:
(i) The Guaranteed Principal Adjustment as defined in the rider *
Reinsurer's Percentage if the Income Benefit contains a
Guaranteed Principal Option and the option is exercised; or
(iii) IBNAR = Maximum [(IBB * (MAPR/SAPR) - Account Value), 0] *
Reinsurer's Percentage
D. The IBNARP (Income Benefit Net Amount at Risk Percentage) for each variable
annuity contract ceded hereunder shall be equal to the following:
IBNARP = IBNAR / [IBB * (MAPR/SAPR)]
where:
. IBB equals the INCOME BASE as defined in the rider;
. MAPR is the MINIMUM ANNUITY PURCHASE RATE from the GMIB Annuity Table
defined in the rider; and
. SAPR is the SETTLEMENT ANNUITY PURCHASE RATE per $1000 which is used
at time of annuitization for reinsurance claims settlement and shall
be equal to the fixed annuity purchase rate that the Cedent would
provide to an annuitant in the same class.
E. Premium taxes will be applied on a consistent basis between the MAPR and
SAPR to calculate the IBNARP and IBNAR.
F. The IBNARP and IBNAR for each contract ceded hereunder shall be calculated
as of the last day of each calendar month prior to the termination of
liability contingencies set forth in Article II.
GWB
---
G. The WBNAR (Withdrawal Benefit Net Amount at Risk) for each variable annuity
contract ceded hereunder shall be equal to the following:
Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit and Principal Guarantee Value:
WBNAR = Maximum [(GWB Benefit Base - Account Value), 0] * Reinsurer's
Percentage (defined in Schedule A).
Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit:
WBNAR = Maximum [(Remaining Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount - Account Value),
0] * Reinsurer's Percentage (defined in Schedule A) + Present Value of any
additional Lifetime Payments * Reinsurer's Percentage
A claim is incurred when the Account Value equals zero and is paid out in
installments consistent with the reinsured contract.
GMAB
----
H. The ABNAR (Accumulation Benefit Net Amount at Risk) for each variable
annuity contract ceded hereunder shall be equal to the following:
ABNAR = Maximum [(GMAB Guaranteed Accumulation Amount - Account Value),0] *
Reinsurer's Percentage.
A claim is incurred at the maturity date of the GMAB rider if the GMAB
Guaranteed Accumulation Amount exceeds the Account Value.
ARTICLE VII
SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS
A. The Reinsurer shall indemnify the Cedent under this Agreement only for
benefit claims that the Cedent paid as contractually required under a
Reinsured Contract with respect to claims that occur on or after the
Effective Date.
B. In the event that the Cedent provides satisfactory proof of claim liability
to the Reinsurer, benefit claim settlements made by a Cedent and accepted
by the Reinsurer shall be unconditionally binding on the Reinsurer. The
Cedent shall report all approved benefit claims in bordereau including
cause of death, as available, in such format as may be agreed to from time
to time.
C. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, the Cedent
shall notify the Reinsurer of the ceded contractual benefit claims paid in
respect of Reinsured Contracts in that month, based on the definition, set
forth in Article IV, and the Reinsurer shall indemnify the Cedent as
provided in Article VI for the ceded benefit claim liabilities.
