ii)

In the event that the Gross Premium in such Year of Agreement is less than 75% of the Minimum Annual Premium, the Reinsurer shall be entitled to an additional Reinsurer Allowance (the “Profit Adjustment Amount”) from the Cedents.

(a) Provided that both Cedents give notice of recapture, the Cedents shall have the right, subject to Section 6 of the Master Agreement, as of any September 30, beginning with September 30, 2008 on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Reinsurer delivered by certified or registered mail, to recapture the Reinsured Risks in full, but not in part.

(b) Recapture shall be binding on all parties upon the Reinsurer’s receipt of the Cedents’ notice to recapture the Reinsured Risks as set forth in this Section 6.3. In the event of recapture, the Reinsurer’s sole liability shall be to pay to the Cedents the net payments required under Section 6.4. Recapture by the Cedents, and payment to the Cedents of the net payments required under this Article VI, if any, shall constitute a complete and final release of the Reinsurer in respect of any and all known and unknown obligations or liability of any nature to the Cedents or any other Person under or related to this Agreement and there shall be no Quarterly Report or Quarterly Settlement with respect to the quarter in which the Recapture Date falls, other than the Terminal Accounting and Settlement. Simultaneous with the payment by the Reinsurer to the Cedents of the net amount due the Cedents under the Terminal Accounting and Settlement, the Cedents shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Reinsurer the remaining balances of the Reinsurance Trust Accounts and shall instruct the trustee of the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts to distribute, or consent to such trustee’s distributing, to the Reinsurer the remaining balances of the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts.

6.4. Payments On Recapture. (a) In the event that the Reinsured Risks are to be recaptured pursuant to this Article VI, the Cedents shall supply the Reinsurer with a net accounting and settlement as to any balance due under this Agreement with respect to the Reinsured Risks (the “Terminal Accounting and Settlement”) within forty-five (45) days following the Recapture Date;

(b) Any net payment required under the Terminal Accounting and Settlement shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Terminal Accounting and Settlement. Net payments with respect to the Reinsured Risks required under the Terminal Accounting and Settlement shall consist of the following:

(i)

the payment by the Cedents to the Reinsurer of an amount equal to the balance of the Funds Withheld Accounts calculated to the Recapture Date with interest from the Recapture Date to the date of payment equal to the Funds Withheld Interest Rate applied to the balance of the Funds Withheld Accounts as of the Recapture Date;

(ii)

the payment by the Cedents to the Reinsurer of an amount equal to the portion of the Reinsurer Allowances as set forth in Section 10.2. for the final Accounting Period; and

(iii)

the payment by the Reinsurer to the Cedents of an amount equal to (A), where:

A equals the sum of the balance of the Experience Accounts in respect of each Cedent.

A shall also include interest on the amount in A from the Recapture Date to the date of payment at the Funds Withheld Interest Rate.

(c) The Reinsurer agrees to pay to the Cedents a profit commission (the “Profit Commission”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Terminal Accounting and Settlement. The Profit Commission will be calculated as follows:

(i)

P multiplied by the cumulative Profit Margin paid by the Cedents to the Reinsurer pursuant to Section 10.2 (and any cumulative Profit Adjustment Amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.2(ii)); With P equal to the following percentage for each Year of Agreement for which the Recapture Date occurs:



1		50	%


2		50	%


3		50	%


4		40	%


5		40	%


6		20	%


7		20	%


8	and beyond	0	%

ARTICLE VII

INSOLVENCY

7.1. Payments. In the event of the insolvency of a Cedent, net payments due the Cedent on all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Cedent or to its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Cedent under the policy or policies reinsured, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Cedent. It is agreed and understood; provided, however, that (i) in the event of the insolvency of a Cedent, the Cedent or its liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor shall give the Reinsurer written notice of the pendency of a claim against the insolvent Cedent on a Reinsured Policy within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding and (ii) during the pendency of such claim the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense (but subject to Section 7.2), in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defenses which it may deem available to the Cedent or its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor.

7.2. Expenses. It is further understood that any expense incurred by the Reinsurer pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Cedent as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Cedent solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. Where two or more assuming reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defenses to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the Cedent.

ARTICLE VIII

FUNDS WITHHELD

8.1. Funds Withheld Account. Each Cedent shall establish on its books as a liability to the Reinsurer a funds withheld account with respect to this Agreement (each, a “Funds Withheld Account”). Each Cedent shall maintain a Funds Withheld Account in an amount, determined in accordance with SAP, equal to (i) the cumulative Funds Withheld Account Investment Income, plus (ii) 75% of Net Premiums applicable to such Cedent, less (iii) amounts applied by the Cedent in payment of amounts due from the Reinsurer for the Reinsurer’s liability under Section 2.3 with respect to Ultimate Net Loss (adjusted to reflect recoveries, salvages, subrogations or payments received by the Cedent), less (iv) cumulative Expense Allowances, less (v) the cumulative Reinsurer Allowances. The balance of the Funds Withheld Account shall in no event be less than zero.

8.2. Application of Funds Withheld.

In consideration of the Reinsurer agreeing to the funds withheld arrangement set forth in this Article VIII, each Cedent agrees that, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, such Cedent, its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, shall apply the assets in the Cedent’s Funds Withheld Trust Account against the Reinsurer’s liability under this Agreement to the Cedent until the assets in the Funds Withheld Trust Account are exhausted and (ii) no payments by the Reinsurer to the Cedent hereunder or draws from the Reinsurer Trust Account shall be made until all amounts in the Funds Withheld Trust Account have been exhausted.

8.3. Funds Withheld Investment Income.

(a) Commencing as of the Effective Date, each Cedent shall credit to the Reinsurer interest on its Funds Withheld Account in an amount equal to the sum of (i) and (ii) (the “Funds Withheld Account Investment Income”), where:

(i)

equals 50% of the Funds Withheld Interest Rate applied to (A) less (B) less (C); where (A) equals the Net Premiums collected during the Accounting Period, (B) equals the Ultimate Net Loss paid during the Accounting Period, and (C) equals the Expense Allowance for the Accounting Period; and

(ii)

equals the Funds Withheld Interest Rate applied to the balance of its Funds Withheld Account at the beginning of the Accounting Period.

(b) The Funds Withheld Account Investment Income shall be determined and credited on a quarterly basis.

(c) The Reinsurer and each Cedent agree that they may use an alternative Funds Withheld Account Investment Income calculation as mutually agreed to, subject to the approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance.

8.4. Funds Withheld Trust Accounts. The Cedents shall enter into trust agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively (each, a “Funds Withheld Trust Agreement”), for the benefit of the Reinsurer with a bank acceptable to the Reinsurer and shall deposit, within three (3) Business Days of the date hereof, assets in trust for the benefit of the Reinsurer equal to the balance of their respective Funds Withheld Accounts as of the date hereof (each, a “Funds Withheld Trust Account”). Each Cedent shall at all times maintain sufficient assets in its Funds Withheld Trust Account to ensure that the book value of the assets in the Funds Withheld Trust Account, determined in accordance with SAP, equals or exceeds the balance of its respective Funds Withheld Account. The assets shall consist only of (i) cash (United States legal tender), (ii) certificates of deposit (issued by a United States bank and payable in United States legal tender), and (iii) other admitted assets of a character, maturity, and value to fulfill the intent of this Agreement, provided that such investment is issued by an institution that is not the parent, subsidiary or affiliate of either Cedent or the Reinsurer and provided further that such assets are of the type specified under 40 P.S. § 442.1(b)(1) and (2).

8.5. Termination of the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that either Cedent materially breaches this Agreement and such material breach remains uncured thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of such breach is first provided by the Reinsurer, or if there is a Material Change, the Reinsurer shall have the right at any time thereafter to require that the Cedents deposit to the Reinsurer Trust Account an amount equal to the balance of the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts, which may be accomplished by instructing the trustee of the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts to distribute, or by consenting to such trustee’s distributing, to the Reinsurer Trust Account, the balances of the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts. Thereafter, the parties shall close the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts and terminate the Funds Withheld Trust Agreements. In the event of subsequent recapture of the Reinsured Risks by the Cedents following such withdrawal of Funds Withheld Trust Account assets by the Reinsurer, all transferred funds will include investment income thereon for the purposes of Terminal Accounting and Settlement in accordance with Article VI and Article XV. 8.6.

8.6. Investment Management

(a) The Reinsurer and the Cedents agree that the investment performance and credit monitoring of the assets deposited to the Funds Withheld Trust Account is an important component of the profitability of the reinsured business. Accordingly, within ten Business Days after the Execution Date, the Cedents shall enter into an Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with Hyperion Capital Management, Inc. (“Hyperion”), pursuant to which Hyperion will provide certain investment management advisory services in connection with the Funds Withheld Trust Account.

(b) In the event that mutually agreed upon investment objectives are not met by the investment manager providing advisory services in connection with the Funds Withheld Trust Account, based upon periodic assessment of the total return of the portfolio, the effective yield of the portfolio, the duration of the portfolio, management reporting effectiveness, fee structure and peer comparison with other similar investment management styles, the Reinsurer may require a reevaluation of, and change in, if deemed appropriate, investment manager, including consideration of Hyperion if not currently engaged at that time.

(c) The Cedents shall not engage an investment manager to manage the assets in the Funds Withheld Accounts without the written consent of the Reinsurer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject to Section 8.6 (b).

ARTICLE IX

REINSURANCE SECURITY

9.1. Reserve Credit Security. Within three (3) Business Days of the date hereof, the Reinsurer shall enter into trust agreements with respect to the Cedents in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C and Exhibit D, respectively (each, a “Reinsurer Trust Agreement”) and establish trust accounts (each, a “Reinsurer Trust Account”) for the sole benefit of each Cedent with respect to the Reinsured Risks with a qualified United States financial institution as defined in 40 P.S. § 442.1(g)(2) (the “Trustee”).

9.2. Reinsurer Trust Accounts. (a) The Reinsurer agrees to maintain in each Reinsurer Trust Account, assets (the “Reserve Credit Trust Assets”) to be held in trust by the Trustee for the sole benefit of each Cedent as security for the payment of the Reinsurer’s obligations to each Cedent under this Agreement. The assets shall consist only of (i) cash (United States legal tender), (ii) certificates of deposit (issued by a United States bank and payable in United States legal tender), (iii) other admitted assets, provided that such assets are issued by an institution that is not the parent, subsidiary or affiliate of either Cedent or the Reinsurer and provided further that such assets are of the type specified under 40 P.S. §442.1 and (iv) letters of credit meeting the requirements of Section 9.3 (each, an “LOC”). Any LOC will comply with Title 31 PA Code Ch. 163 §§ 163.14-163.17.

(b) The value of the assets in each Reinsurer Trust Account (other than the LOCs) at any time (the “Asset Value”) shall be the current fair market value of such assets as of such valuation date. LOCs in each Reinsurer Trust Account shall be valued at their face amount as of the valuation date (such aggregate amount of all LOCs, the “LOC Value”). The “Aggregate Trust Account Value” as of any date shall be equal to the Asset Value on such date plus the LOC Value on such date. Notwithstanding anything else agreed in this Agreement, at no time shall the Reinsurer be required to maintain the Aggregate Trust Account Value in excess of the Incremental Limit Amount plus the aggregate Reinsurer Allowance paid.

(c) Prior to depositing assets with the Trustee (other than LOCs), the Reinsurer shall execute all assignments and endorsements in blank, or transfer legal title to the Trustee of all shares, obligations or any other assets requiring assignments, in order that the Cedents, or the Trustee upon direction of the Cedents, may whenever necessary negotiate any such assets without consent or signature from the Reinsurer or any other entity.

(d) All settlements of account under this Agreement between the Cedents and the Reinsurer shall be made in cash or its equivalent.

(e) The Reinsurer and the Cedents agree that the assets in the Reinsurer Trust Accounts (including the proceeds of any draw on an LOC) may be withdrawn by the Cedents at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, provided such assets are applied and utilized by the Cedents (or any successor of the Cedents by operation of law, including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator of the Cedents), without diminution because of the insolvency of the Cedents or the Reinsurer, only for the purposes set forth in the Reinsurer Trust Agreements.

9.3. Letters of Credit. (a) In connection with the establishment of the Reinsurer Trust Accounts pursuant to Section 9.2, the Reinsurer may provide to the Trustee one or more LOCs that comply with the provisions of 40 P.S. § 442.1 and Title 31 PA Code Ch. 163 §163.15 of the Pennsylvania Insurance Regulations.

(b) The Reinsurer shall be an LOC applicant. Any LOC shall be issued or confirmed by a qualified United States financial institution authorized to issue letters of credit pursuant to 40 P.S. §442.1(g)(2) provided, that such qualified United States financial institution shall not be a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Cedents or the Reinsurer.

(c) The LOCs provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement may be drawn at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions herein, and shall be utilized by each Cedent or its permitted successors in interest only for one or more of the following reasons:

(i)	For the purposes set forth in the Reinsurer Trust Agreements; or

(ii)	Upon receipt of a notice of non-renewal of the LOC.

(d) Each Cedent shall return any amounts drawn on the LOC in excess of the actual amounts required for the purposes set forth in the Reinsurer Trust Agreements with interest calculated at a rate equal to the current three (3) month U.S. Treasury Rate plus 200 basis points applied on a per annum basis since the date the excess amounts were withdrawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution or increase because of insolvency on the part of either Cedents or the Reinsurer. Failure by either Cedent to return any such excess amounts within thirty calendar days (30) following such withdrawal shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Cedents, and remedies available to the Reinsurer with respect to such breach include, but are not limited to, those contained in Section 8.5 and Article XV.

9.4. Adjustments. The Cedents and the Reinsurer agree that, until the termination of this Agreement, following the receipt by the Reinsurer of (i) the statement of all assets in each Reinsurer Trust Account from the Trustee (as required under each Reinsurer Trust Agreement) and (ii) the Quarterly Report from the Cedents in the form of Schedule A (in accordance with Article V), the assets and/or LOCs in each Reinsurer Trust Account will be adjusted in the following manner:

(a) If (i) the amount of Total Ceded Reserves of each Cedent as set forth on any Quarterly Report over the balance of the Funds Withheld Account of each Cedent at the end of each Accounting Period exceeds the Aggregate Trust Account Value of the applicable Reinsurer Trust Account and (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Trust Account Value of the Reinsurer Trust Accounts does not exceed the sum of the Incremental Limit Amount plus the aggregate Reinsurer Allowance paid as of the end of the applicable Accounting Period, then the Reinsurer shall, within ten (10) calendar days of receiving such report, either (A) secure delivery of one or more additional LOCs to the Trustee, (B) secure an amendment increasing the face amount of one or more existing LOCs or (C) contribute additional (qualifying) assets (other than LOCs) to each Reinsurer Trust Account such that the Aggregate Trust Account Value of each Reinsurer Trust Account following such deliveries, increases and/or contributions is at least equal to the Total Ceded Reserves of each Cedent as set forth on each Quarterly Report over the balance of the Funds Withheld Account of each Cedent at the end of each Accounting Period; provided, however, that the Reinsurer shall be not be required to deliver, increase and/or contribute any amount that would cause the sum of the Aggregate Trust Account Value of the Reinsurer Trust Accounts to exceed the sum of the Incremental Limit Amount plus the aggregate Reinsurer Allowance paid as of the end of the applicable Accounting Period.

(b) If the amount of the Total Ceded Reserves of each Cedent as set forth on any Quarterly Report over the balance of the Funds Withheld Account of each Cedent at the end of each Accounting Period is less than the Aggregate Trust Account Value of the applicable Reinsurer Trust Account (taking into account any distributions out of the Funds Withheld Trust Account pursuant to Section 8.2), then the Cedents shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving such report, permit the Reinsurer to withdraw, and take all actions necessary to effectuate such withdrawal of, an appropriate amount of trust assets or amend the amount of outstanding LOCs such that the Aggregate Trust Account Value of each Reinsurer Trust Account following such deliveries and/or amendments is equal to the Total Ceded Reserves of each Cedent as set forth on each Quarterly Report over the balance of the Funds Withheld Account of each Cedent at the end of each Accounting Period. Failure to comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 9.4(b) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Remedies available to the Reinsurer for such breach include, but are not limited to, those contained in Article XV and Section 8.5.

(c) If the sum of the Aggregate Trust Account Value of the Reinsurer Trust Accounts exceeds the sum of the Incremental Limit Amount plus the aggregate Reinsurer Allowance paid as of the end of the applicable Accounting Period, then the Cedents shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving the applicable Quarterly Report, permit the Reinsurer to withdraw, and take all actions necessary to effectuate such withdrawal of, an appropriate amount of trust assets or amend the amount of outstanding LOCs such that the sum of the Aggregate Trust Account Value of the Reinsurer Trust Accounts does not exceed the sum of the Incremental Limit Amount plus the aggregate Reinsurer Allowance paid as of the end of the applicable Accounting Period. Failure to comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 9.4(c) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Remedies available to the Reinsurer for such breach include, but are not limited to, those contained in Article XV and Section 8.5.

9.5. Maximum Reserve Credit Trust Assets. The Cedents acknowledge that, in the event that the Aggregate Limit of Liability has been exceeded, or is expected to be exceeded in the future, they will be required to, and agree to, maintain a deficiency reserve for policyholders under SAP, regardless of the amount of Reserve Credit Trust Assets provided by the Reinsurer. Therefore, the Cedents and the Reinsurer agree that the Reserve Credit Trust Assets provided by the Reinsurer shall not exceed, as calculated at any time during this Agreement, an amount equal to the Incremental Limit Amount plus the absolute value of cumulative Reinsurer Allowances.

ARTICLE X

EXPERIENCE ACCOUNT

10.1. Experience Account. (a) The Reinsurer shall establish as of the Effective Date and maintain on its books a notional experience account with respect to each Cedent (each an “Experience Account”) until all obligations of the Reinsurer under this Agreement have been satisfied or discharged in full.

(b) The balance of each Experience Account as of the end of each Accounting Period shall be an amount equal to: (i) the cumulative Funds Withheld Account Investment Income, plus (ii) 75% of Net Premiums applicable to such Cedent, plus (iii) cumulative additional Reinsurer Allowances applicable to Experience Trigger Events times 1.045 times the number of calendar days elapsed since individual payment dates divided by 365, less (iv) amounts applied by the Cedent in payment of amounts due from the Reinsurer for the Reinsurer’s liability under Section 2.3 with respect to Ultimate Net Loss (adjusted to reflect recoveries, salvages, subrogations or payments received by the Cedent), less (v) the cumulative Expense Allowances, less (vi) the cumulative Reinsurer Allowances, less (vii) with respect to Penn Treaty, the negative balance, if any, in the Experience Account maintained by the Reinsurer with respect to American Network, and less (viii), with respect to American Network, the negative balance, if any, in the Experience Account maintained by the Reinsurer with respect to Penn Treaty. The Experience Accounts may be a negative number. In such event, the balance of the applicable Experience Account will be carried forward with interest at 1.125% per Accounting Period applied to the negative balance of such Experience Account at the beginning of such Accounting Period. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Experience Account is a notional account and has no bearing on the statutory financial statements of either Cedent.

10.2. Reinsurer Allowances. In the event that an Experience Trigger Event has not occurred, the Reinsurer Allowance with respect to each Accounting Period after the Effective Date, shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i), (ii) and (iii), where:

(i)

equals 0.25% (0.3125% effective October 1, 2010 and later) of the sum of the Total Ceded Reserves as of the end of the Accounting Period (the “Reserve Margin”); plus

(ii)

equals 0.50% of the market value of the Reserve Credit Trust Assets as of the beginning of the Accounting Period (not including any assets in the Reserve Credit Trust resulting from cumulative Reinsurer Allowances, if any, or amounts withdrawn by the Reinsurer from the Funds Withheld Trust Accounts and deposited in the Reserve Credit Trust) (the “Collateral Fee”); plus

(iii)

an amount equal to M multiplied by the 75% of Net Premium with respect to the applicable Accounting Period; With M for each Accounting Period equal to the percentage specified below(the “Profit Margin”):

Accounting Period Occurring During Year of Agreement			M

		1	10.00%


		2	10.00%

		3	10.00%

		4	12.50%

		5	12.50%

		6 and beyond	15.00%

In the event that an Experience Trigger Event has occurred with respect to an Accounting Period, the Reinsurer Allowance in part (i) above shall be 0.3125% (0.3906% effective October 1, 2010 and later) of the sum of the Total Ceded Reserves of the Cedents as of the end of each Accounting Period during which and after the Experience Trigger Event occurred.

10.3. Experience Trigger Event. “Experience Trigger Event” shall mean, any of the following:

(i)

The total incurred claims measured at the end of a calendar year with respect to the Cedents, exceed, by more than 5%, the expected incurred claims for that calendar year. The incurred claims are paid claims (including waived premiums) plus increases in claim reserves. Expected incurred claims are consistent with the calculation of the expected loss ratio in Section 23.2(d).

(ii)

The Risk Based Capital Ratio at the end of a calendar year for either Cedent is less than 250%. The Risk Based Capital Ratio is defined as the ratio of Total Adjusted Capital to Authorized Control Level Capital, with both items as stated in the Cedents’ NAIC annual statement.

(iii)

The Standard & Poor’s Financial Strength Rating for Penn Treaty falls below Bat any time.

The failure of either Cedent to maintain a Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 250% at the end of any calendar year or the failure of Penn Treaty to maintain a Standard & Poor’s Financial Strength Rating of B- or higher shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Cedents. Remedies available to the Reinsurer for such breach include, but are not limited to, those contained in Section 8.5.

ARTICLE XI

ADMINISTRATION; CLAIMS HANDLING

11.1. Administration. Subject to Section 11.2, each Cedent shall administer the Reinsured Policies and perform all accounting for the Reinsured Policies.

11.2. Claims Handling.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Cedents will continue to be responsible for the investigation, adjustment, defense and settlement obligations under the Reinsured Policies, and shall provide all servicing of the Reinsured Policies in the ordinary course of their business and in a manner consistent with this Section 11.2.

(b) Each Cedent covenants and agrees that its claims administration practices and procedures shall not materially deviate from and shall substantially conform to those claims administration practices and procedures adopted by the Cedents (as may be modified to reflect changes required by the Reinsurer pursuant to Section 11.2(c)), and approved by the Reinsurer (“Claims Guidelines”).

(c) Each Cedent agrees that the claims guidelines adopted by the Cedents prior to the Effective Date may be audited by the Reinsurer at the Reinsurer’s cost and expense within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date. The Reinsurer may require lawful and reasonable changes to such claims guidelines within such twelve (12) month period, which, if practicable and financially prudent, shall be promptly implemented and adopted by the Cedents.

(d) Each Cedent shall maintain, at a minimum, no lesser level of performance in claims handling than was in place during the three (3) months prior to the Effective Date.

(e) Each Cedent further covenants and agrees to use best efforts to provide prompt, accurate and quality claims administration services in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement generally, and more specifically, the Claims Guidelines. Each Cedent shall commit and devote sufficient time and effort, and shall utilize and allocate sufficient, competent management, personnel and other resources as may be necessary or advisable to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Failure to comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 11.2 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Remedies available to the Reinsurer for such breach include, but are not limited to, those contained in Article XV, Section 8.5, and Sections 11.2 (h), (i) and (k).

(g) The Reinsurer or its designee shall have the right at its cost and expense to audit and inspect the Cedents’ claims administration practices and procedures from time to time as the Reinsurer may in its sole discretion deem desirable in accordance with Article XXI.

(h) The Reinsurer shall have the right to: (i) take control of claims administration and/or (ii) replace either or both of the Cedents as claims administrator with a substitute claims administrator designated by the Reinsurer, which substitute claims administrator shall be duly licensed to administrate claims in each of the Cedents’ licensed jurisdictions, and may be the Reinsurer or any of its Affiliates as may be allowed by individual state regulation, and/or (iii) institute an oversight process of the Cedents as claims administrator, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(A)

either Cedent’s NAIC Risk-Based Capital Level falls to or below the Company Action Level and is not corrected within 30 days, or immediately if the NAIC Risk-Based Capital Level falls to or below the Regulatory Action Level;

(B)

either Cedent materially breaches any covenant set forth in Section 11.2;

(C)

if for whatever reason, either Cedent does not commence fulfillment of its duties and obligations provided in this Section 11.2 or once having commenced such duties and obligations, engages in neglect of its duties and obligations hereunder, or fails or refuses to carry out such duties and obligations hereunder, and such neglect, failure or refusal is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Reinsurer;

(D)

either Cedent or PTAC experiences any material change, direct or indirect, in its capital stock participation or control, or any material change in its management, directors, officers or key personnel, or if either Cedent or PTAC or any part of its business is sold, transferred or merged, and the Reinsurer reasonably determines that such material change has or is likely to have a materially adverse impact on the Reinsurer’s interests;

(E)

either Cedent has taken any action or failed to comply with any applicable law or regulation, the ultimate result of which the Cedent knew or should have known would cause any governmental or regulatory agency or authority to revoke or suspend the authority of such Cedent or place such Cedent under any supervision or cease and desist order, and the Reinsurer reasonably determines in its sole discretion that such action, noncompliance, supervision or cease and desist order has had, or is reasonably likely to have, a materially adverse impact on the Reinsurer’s interests; or

(F)

any Cedent’s directors, officers, principals or key personnel are indicted for a crime involving financial dishonesty or fraud related to the Cedent’s business.

Each of the events described in Sections 11.2(h)(iii)(A) through (F) shall be referred to as a “Claims Control Event.” The ability for the Reinsurer to take control of claims handling and/or replace the Cedents in this capacity is a fundamental, bargained-for right under this Agreement. Nothing elsewhere in this Agreement shall conflict with or otherwise limit the Reinsurer’s right to control claims administration pursuant to this Section 11.2(h).

(i) In the event of a Claims Control Event, and if the Reinsurer elects its remedy to take control of claims administration, an automatic adjustment shall be made to the Expense Allowance provided under Article IV of this Agreement such that the Reinsurer shall no longer be obligated to pay that part of the Expense Allowance set forth in Section 4.1(a)(iv). Each Cedent shall jointly and severally be obligated to reimburse the Reinsurer for that amount of expense reasonably incurred in taking control of and handling claims that exceed the sum that would otherwise be payable to the Cedents pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv). Furthermore, in order to indemnify and hold the Reinsurer harmless from such deviation, the Reinsurer’s liability under this Agreement shall be adjusted such that this Agreement will cover Ultimate Net Loss arising from such Reinsured Policies, determined as if such deviation did not occur and such level of performance had been maintained.

(j) The remedies available to the Reinsurer in the event of a Claims Control Event include all such remedies as are available under this Agreement and any remedies available under law or equity.

(k) The Cedents shall cooperate fully with the Reinsurer in all reasonable respects in furtherance of the covenants and commitments outlined in this Section 11.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Cedent agrees that it will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further agreements, certificates, requests, orders, UCC financing statements, powers of attorney, instruments or other documents as the Reinsurer may reasonably request and as may be required in the Reinsurer’s reasonable judgment to effectuate the intention of or facilitate the performance of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of the covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the Reinsurer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy therefor. As such, the Reinsurer shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond or security, and any other equitable remedies, in addition to any other remedies available by law to enforce any of the foregoing obligations of the Cedents and all Reinsurer’s remedies with respect thereto.

ARTICLE XII

REINSURER’S RIGHT OF ASSOCIATION

As a condition precedent to the payment by the Reinsurer of any Ultimate Net Loss arising under this Agreement:

(a) at any time, and from time to time, at the Reinsurer’s own expense, the Reinsurer may investigate any claim or claims arising under any Reinsured Policy and may interpose the Reinsurer in any claim adjudication, suit or proceeding, including but not limited to any proceeding where the claim is to be adjudicated, and may pursue any defenses that the Reinsurer may deem available to the Cedents or their respective statutory receiver, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator (or the like) or to the Reinsurer; and

(b) the Cedents or their respective statutory receiver, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator (or the like), will afford the Reinsurer the opportunity to be associated with the Cedents in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a), at the Reinsurer’s own expense, and shall cooperate with the Reinsurer in all respects in the investigation and defense of such claim or claims.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

16.1. Misunderstandings and Oversights.

If the Cedents’ liability under any of the Reinsured Policies is changed because of a misstatement of age or sex or any other material fact, the Reinsurer will share in the change proportionately to the amount reinsured hereunder and the Cedent(s) and the Reinsurer will make all appropriate adjustments to amounts due each other under this Agreement.

16.3. Setoff. Any debts or credits, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, regardless of when they arose or were incurred, in favor of or against either the Cedent or the Reinsurer with respect to this Agreement are deemed mutual debts or credits, as the case may be, and shall be set off, and only the net balance shall be allowed or paid.

20.1. Resolution of Damages. Any dispute between any Cedent and the Reinsurer arising out of the provisions of this Agreement or its termination, or concerning its interpretation or validity, whether arising before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration in the manner set forth in this Article XX.

(a) Upon five (5) Business Days advance written notice, the Reinsurer and its duly appointed representatives, may, at the offices of the Cedents or such other reasonable and appropriate location or locations to be designated by agreement of the Cedents and Reinsurer, audit any and all books, records, systems, statements, correspondence, reports and other documentation that relate to the Reinsured Policies, this Agreement or the subject matter hereof. The Cedents shall provide reasonable access to all appropriate senior personnel and workspace during normal business hours for such audit and shall cooperate with and disclose and produce any and all documentation reasonably requested by the auditors.

(b) The Reinsurer’s right to audit, as specified in Section 21.1(a) above, shall continue during the term of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XXII

REGULATORY RISK

22.1. Regulatory Risk. The Cedents jointly and severally represent and warrant that:

(a) At the Effective Date, each of their long-term care policy forms is a guaranteed renewable accident and health policy form, and as such are eligible for actuarially supported premium rate increases (which may arise, among other reasons, from adverse deviation in actual claims experience or from changes in future expected claims experience) under statutory practices and procedures in all jurisdictions in which the Cedents are licensed to conduct business; and

(b) The Cedents have generally been successful in obtaining premium rate increases historically, and have not been subjected to significant risk arising from (i) regulatory action that is inconsistent with established statutory practices and procedures or (ii) insurance legislation that has prevented their ability to obtain all or the majority of their requested premium rate increases. As of the Effective Date, the Cedents are not aware of any specific reason that would indicate that they would not be able to obtain such increases in the future.

(c) Whenever a Regulatory Risk Event occurs and remains unresolved, a Limit Amount Reduction shall occur and apply to reduce the Reinsurer’s Incremental Limit Account under Article II of this Agreement.

The Cedents and the Reinsurer consider the provisions of this Agreement relating to Regulatory Risk Event to be in full compliance with the guidelines of Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 61 and Statutory Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual – Appendix A-791.

ARTICLE XXIII

PREMIUM RATE INCREASES

23.1. Rate Increase Review.

(a) In order to ensure the Cedents’ regular review of the performance of the Reinsured Policies, each Cedent covenants and agrees that it shall conduct an analysis of the Reinsured Policies to ascertain their actual to expected loss experience no less often than once every six (6) months (the “Semi-Annual Review”), which analysis shall be conducted over the course of no more than thirty (30) days and subject to audit by the Reinsurer in accordance with Article XXI.

(b) Each Cedent further covenants and agrees that it shall conduct an analysis of the underlying actuarial assumptions and experience of the Policies to ascertain the future morbidity experience no less than once annually (the “Annual Review”). The Annual Review shall be conducted prior to March 31 of each year for the calendar year ending on the immediately preceding December 31, which analysis shall be conducted over the course of no more than thirty (30) days and subject to audit by the Reinsurer in accordance with Article XXI.

(c) Failure to conduct either the Semi-Annual Review or the Annual Review (collectively, the “Reviews”) shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement by the Cedents. Remedies available to the Reinsurer for such breach by the Cedents include, but are not limited to, those contained in Section 8.5 and Article XV.

23.2. Obligatory Premium Rate Increases.

(a) The Cedents shall use their best efforts in good faith to file and obtain approval for increases in premium rates on the Reinsured Policies to maintain, from the Effective Date, the lifetime and prospective loss ratios (based upon revised actual and expected experience) for the Reinsured Policies at the level approved by the relevant regulatory authorities in the most recent filing of the relevant policy form prior to the Effective Date.

(b) In the event that, and as a result of the Reviews, either Cedent would reasonably be required to file and obtain approval for premium rate increases for the Reinsured Policies, such Cedent shall submit any such premium rate increase filing no later than thirty (30) days following such determination (to wit, no more than sixty (60) days following the commencement of any such Review) (the “Mandatory Filing Date”). If no such Review is conducted or commenced, the Mandatory Filing Date shall be deemed to be the sixtieth (60th) day following the date when such Review was required to be commenced pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b), the Cedents shall be obligated to file for increases in premium rates on the Reinsured Policies in each jurisdiction, if at any time, either Cedent or the Reinsurer has reason to believe (i) that future experience is likely to be worse than projected at the Effective Date, or upon the date of the most recent rate increase approval if later, and (ii) that such deterioration in expected experience would justify an increase in premium rates of 5% or more in aggregate on the Reinsured Policies if filed by such Cedent (an “Obligatory Premium Rate Increase”).

(d) The Parties agree that they shall be deemed to have a “reason to believe” that future morbidity experience is likely to be worse than projected if, at the end of any calendar year, the ratio of (a) the present value of claims incurred since the Effective Date or then anticipated to be incurred henceforth as discounted at 4.5% to the Effective Date, divided by (b) the present value of premiums collected since the Effective Date or then anticipated to be collected henceforth as discounted at 4.5% to the Effective Date, exceeds by more than 5% the same ratio as computed at the Effective Date (e.g., 89.25% projected versus 85% expected).

(e) All determinations affecting whether to seek increases in premium rates, or the amount of such increases, shall be based on actuarial assumptions ultimately agreed upon by the Reinsurer and the Cedents, including consideration of input from state regulatory agencies and actuaries as may occur. Any dispute regarding actuarial assumptions or determinations shall be resolved in accordance with Article XX. For the avoidance of any doubt, any resolution of such arbitration in favor of the Reinsurer with regard to actuarial assumptions underlying any filing pursuant to this Article XXIII, shall obligate the Cedents to file for premium rate increases, no later than thirty (30) days following such resolution, in accordance with this Article XXIII.

(f) A “Material Breach Event” shall mean the failure by either Cedent to comply with its obligations under this Section 23.2, including but not limited to the failure to use best efforts in good faith to file and obtain an Obligatory Premium Rate Increase for any reason; provided however, that a Material Breach Event shall not include the failure to obtain an Obligatory Premium Rate Increase as a result of a Regulatory Risk Event, or as a result of and during the pendency of (and for a reasonable period after termination of) any bona fide dispute being arbitrated pursuant to the terms of this Article XXIII or Article XX.

(g) Whenever a Material Breach Event occurs and remains unresolved, in addition to any other remedy available to the Reinsurer pursuant to this Agreement in law or in equity, a Limit Amount Reduction shall occur and apply to reduce the Reinsurer’s Incremental Limit Amount under Article II of this Agreement. The Cedents and the Reinsurer consider the provisions in this Agreement regarding protection from a Material Breach Event to be in full compliance with the guidelines of Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 61 and Statutory Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual – Appendix A-791.

ARTICLE XXIV

TAXES

24.1. Taxes. The Cedents shall be jointly and severally liable to the appropriate governmental authorities for the payment of all taxes, including premium tax and the Federal excise tax, on the premium paid to the Reinsurer under this Agreement, except income or profit taxes of the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer has provided to the Cedents a closing letter from the Internal Revenue Service specifying that it is exempt from Federal excise tax. In the event that excise taxes are levied against the Reinsurer as a result of the reinsurance because of a change in the United States Federal tax laws, then the Cedents may recapture the policies reinsured hereunder subject to the completion of a Terminal Accounting and Settlement as described in Article VI. The Reinsurer will not reimburse the Cedents for any other taxes or assessments paid by the Cedents in connection with the Reinsured Policies. The Reinsurer covenants that it will use reasonable best efforts not to cause the Cedents to unnecessarily become subject to the payment of excise taxes solely as a result of the Reinsurer’s retro-cession of the Reinsured Policies to another reinsurer, whether affiliated or otherwise.

ARTICLE XXV

RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

25.1. Rules of Construction. Each party acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, it has been represented by and has relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice; and, therefore, that the rules of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XXVI
