Best Company or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or a successor, as applicable, is still in the business of providing ratings to insurance companies) (a “Merger Event”); provided, however, that if the Reinsurer provides such notice with less than sixty (60) days remaining in an Accounting Period, the Experience Refund will not terminate until the end of the Accounting Period immediately following the Accounting Period in which such notice is provided.

ARTICLE IX - LOSS CARRY FORWARD

The “Loss Carry Forward” is initially set equal to zero (0). Each Accounting Period subsequent to the initial Accounting Period, the Loss Carry Forward will be determined as the sum of (i) the Loss Carry Forward as of the end of the previous Accounting Period plus (ii) the LCF Interest for the current Accounting Period less (iii) the LCF Adjustment for the current Accounting Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no Experience Refund shall be paid by the Reinsurer to the Ceding Company until the Loss Carry Forward has been reduced to zero (0).

ARTICLE X - MODCO RESERVE ADJUSTMENTS

1.	Initial Reserve Adjustment

On the Effective Date, simultaneously with the payment of the Initial Consideration by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer, the Reinsurer paid the Ceding Company an initial modified coinsurance reserve adjustment in an amount equal to the Initial Consideration.

On the Amended and Restated Date, the Reinsurer will pay the Ceding Company an amount equal to the Variable Account Coinsurance Quota share times the aggregate of all Variable Accounts as of the Amended and Restated Date (“Special Expense Allowance”). Simultaneously with such payment, the Ceding Company will pay the Reinsurer a modified coinsurance reserve adjustment in an amount equal to such Special Expense Allowance.

2.	Modco Reserves

The Ceding Company will retain, control, and own all assets held in relation to the Modco Reserve. The Ceding Company shall hold such assets separate and apart from other assets of the Ceding Company.

3.	Modified Coinsurance Reserve Adjustment

The “Modified Coinsurance Reserve Adjustment” will be computed each Accounting Period by deducting (i) from (ii), where:

(i)	equals the sum of:

(a)

the Modco Reserve at the end of the preceding Accounting Period, plus

(b)

the Modco Investment Income for the current Accounting Period.

(ii)	equals the Modco Reserve at the end of the current Accounting Period.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Modco Reserve at the end of the Accounting Period immediately preceding the Amended and Restated Date shall be based upon the Modco Quota Share in effect as of the Amended and Restated Date.

The “Modco Investment Income” for an Accounting Period shall be the sum of all interest and other earnings (including realized capital gains), net of investment expenses, earned and realized on the Modco Quota Share portion of Variable Account assets, prior to the deduction of any mortality and expense charges, administrative expense charges or similar non-investment related charges, with respect to the Policies during the Accounting Period.

For any Accounting Period in which the Modified Coinsurance Reserve Adjustment is positive, the Reinsurer will pay the Ceding Company, pursuant to the Settlement Procedures, such amount. For any Accounting Period in which the Modified Coinsurance Reserve Adjustment is negative, the Ceding Company will pay the Reinsurer, pursuant to the Settlement Procedures, the absolute value of such amount.

ARTICLE XI - REPORTING AND SETTLEMENT

1.	Accounting Periods

An “Accounting Period” shall mean a calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement with the accounting to be reported on a calendar year basis with quarterly settlements. The initial Accounting Period will run from the Effective Date through March 31, 2018.

2.	Reports

The Ceding Company will submit the reports in Schedules B and C-Part I (Quarterly) to the Reinsurer not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each Accounting Period. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that such reporting from the Ceding Company for the first Accounting Period (i.e., ending March 31, 2018) shall not be delivered until after the execution of this Agreement but in no case later than the date that such reporting is due for the second Accounting Period. The Ceding Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply the actual data for such reports, and if the data cannot be supplied within the time limits, the Ceding Company will produce best estimates that will be trued up when actual data is available.

The Ceding Company will supply the Reinsurer with the information in Schedule C-Part II (Annual) within the time frames set forth in Schedule C-Part II (Annual).

Within thirty (30) days of it being filed, the Ceding Company will provide to the Reinsurer a copy of the Ceding Company’s most recent annual statutory financial statement, including with respect to the Variable Account, filed with its domiciliary state insurance regulator.

Also, the Ceding Company shall provide any additional information that the Reinsurer may reasonably request from time to time to support its regulatory requirements, financial reporting, or other requirements or that of its affiliates within such time frames mutually agreed by the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer; provided, however, that the Ceding Company shall not be required to provide such additional information if such information is not routinely prepared by the Ceding Company.

3.	Settlement

If the net settlement amount set forth in Schedule B is an amount owed to the Reinsurer, then the Ceding Company will pay such amount to the Reinsurer. If the settlement amount set forth in Schedule B is an amount owed to the Ceding Company, then the Reinsurer will pay such amount to the Ceding Company. Net settlement amounts are due and payable (i) from the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer on or before the 15^th day following the date the Ceding Company reports in Schedules B and C-Part I (Quarterly) are due to the Reinsurer (in the case of an amount payable by the Ceding Company) or (ii) from the Reinsurer to the Ceding Company on or before the 15^th day following the Reinsurer’s receipt of the reports in Schedules B and C-Part I (Quarterly) (in the case of an amount payable by the Reinsurer).

Any late payment by the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, as applicable, will accrue interest at the Delayed Payment Rate from the date due until paid.

4.	Errors, Oversights, and Other Failures

If through unintentional error, oversight, omission, or misunderstanding (collectively referred to as “Errors”), the Reinsurer or the Ceding Company fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement and if, upon discovery of the Error by either party, the other is promptly notified, the parties will cooperate to restore the parties to the position they would have occupied if the Error had not occurred, including interest calculated at the Delayed Payment Rate.

If it is not possible to restore each party to the position it would have occupied but for the Error, the parties will endeavor in good faith to promptly resolve the situation in a manner that is fair and reasonable. However, the Reinsurer will not provide reinsurance for policies that do not satisfy the parameters of this Agreement, nor will the Reinsurer be responsible for negligent or deliberate acts or for repetitive Errors by the Ceding Company. If either party discovers that the Ceding Company has failed to cede reinsurance as provided in this Agreement, or failed to comply with its reporting requirements, the Reinsurer may require the Ceding Company to audit its records for similar Errors and to take the actions necessary to avoid similar Errors in the future.

Any resolution made to correct such Error will not set a precedent for a similar subsequent Error.

The following are not considered Errors for purposes of this Section:

▇.

▇▇▇▇▇ negligence, willful misconduct, or other intentional acts and repetitive errors of which the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, as applicable, is aware but fails to correct; or

Misconduct by agents of the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer.

5.	Amounts Due

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all amounts due to be paid to either the Reinsurer or the Ceding Company will be determined on a net basis in accordance with Article XII, Section 1.

6.	DAC Tax

If the Policies include, for U.S. Federal Income Tax purposes, Specified Insurance Contracts pursuant to Section 848 of the Code or the Final Income Tax Regulations thereunder, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer, with respect to this Agreement, agree to make the election provided in Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Final Income Tax Regulations issued December 28, 1992, under Section 848 of the Code. The specifics of this election are set forth in Schedule D.

7.	Financial Statement Accounting

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges to the other that it is responsible for ensuring that the accounting and tax treatment it has adopted for this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder complies with all relevant accounting, tax and regulatory standards applicable to it. Each party must consult with its own accounting, tax and legal advisers to determine the proper accounting, tax and regulatory treatment for this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder.

8.	Currency

All amounts expressed in this Agreement and all payments and reporting by both parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be made in United States of America dollars (US$).

ARTICLE XII - OFFSET AND RECOUPMENT

1.	Offset

The Reinsurer and the Ceding Company shall have recoupment rights and shall have the rights of offset as described hereunder.

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall have and may exercise, at any time and from time to time, the right to offset any amount due from one party to the other party under this Agreement.

For the purpose of exercising such offset rights, any debts or credits, matured or unmatured, regardless of when they arose or were incurred in favor of or against either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer with respect to this Agreement, are deemed mutual debts or credits, as the case may be, and only the balance shall be allowed or paid. This provision shall not be affected by the insolvency of either party to this Agreement.

If one of the parties to this Agreement is placed in liquidation, receivership, or rehabilitation or is otherwise declared impaired or insolvent, offset shall be allowed as set forth above, and any amount or amounts due or to become due under this Agreement accruing from obligations incurred or loss events or occurrences taking place prior to the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, or rehabilitator or to a declaration of impairment or insolvency, or after such appointment or declaration, shall be deemed mutual in time and capacity and such debts and credits shall be offset against one another whether the balances due or to become due are on account of premiums or losses (including paid losses and loss reserves) or otherwise.

2.	Recoupment

All net amounts due either party under this Agreement, for any Accounting Period and the termination settlement, will be netted regardless of the insolvency, rehabilitation, or receivership of either party. In particular, amounts due under this Agreement to one party before or after the insolvency of the other party may be recouped and only the net balance due will be paid.

ARTICLE XIII - COMMENCEMENT OF LIABILITY; DURATION; RECAPTURE AND TERMINATION

1.	Commencement of Liability and Duration

The liability of the Reinsurer with respect to each Policy will begin on the Effective Date.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of this Agreement is permanent.

The Reinsurer’s liability with respect to any Policy will terminate on the earlier of: (a) the date the Ceding Company’s liability on such Policy is terminated; (b) the date the Policy has been fully recaptured in accordance with Article XIII, Section 2; Subparagraphs (a, b, c, d or e) or (c) the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article XIII, Section 2, Subparagraphs (f or g). Any recapture under or termination of this Agreement is subject to the applicable provisions of Articles XIII and XIV.

2.	Recapture and Termination

a. Recapture (Notice). The Ceding Company will have the right to fully recapture all Policies and terminate this Agreement as of the end of any Accounting Period ending prior to or on December 31, 2027 by giving at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Reinsurer and paying the Reinsurer an amount equal to the Recapture Fee plus any outstanding Loss Carry Forward. For the avoidance of doubt, no recapture will be allowed under this Subparagraph after December 31, 2027.

b. Recapture (Ceding Company Change in Law Trigger Event). The Ceding Company will have the right to fully recapture all Policies and terminate this Agreement as of the end of any Accounting Period ending prior to or on December 31, 2027, during which or after a Ceding Company Change in Law Trigger Event has occurred by giving at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Reinsurer and paying the Reinsurer an amount equal to (i) 50% of the Recapture Fee plus (ii) any outstanding Loss Carry Forward. For the avoidance of doubt, no recapture will be allowed under this Subparagraph after December 31, 2027.

c. Recapture (Maximum Trigger Event). The Ceding Company will have a one-time right to fully recapture all Policies and terminate this Agreement within sixty (60) days following the end of the first Accounting Period in which a Maximum Trigger Event occurs (“Maximum Trigger Recapture Option”). The recapture upon exercise of this option will be effective as of the end of the Accounting Period in which the Maximum Trigger Event occurred and requires repayment of any outstanding Loss Carry Forward by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer. For the avoidance of doubt, no Recapture Fee will be payable by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer with respect to a recapture under this Subparagraph. The Maximum Trigger Recapture Option will expire if written notice is not provided by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer within sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Maximum Trigger Recapture Option and all future Maximum Trigger Recapture Options will be cancelled.

d. Recapture (Experience Refund Termination Event, Merger Event or Reinsurer Change in Law Trigger Event). If the Reinsurer has notified the Ceding Company that the Experience Refund is terminating because an Experience Refund Termination Event, Merger Event or a Reinsurer Change in Law Trigger Event has occurred, the Ceding Company will have the right to fully recapture all Policies and terminate this Agreement as of the end of any Accounting Period after receipt of such notice by a giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Reinsurer prior to the effective date of such recapture and paying the Reinsurer any outstanding Loss Carry Forward plus in the case of an Experience Refund Termination Event or a Merger Event (but not a Reinsurer Change in Law Trigger Event) the Recapture Fee.

e. Recapture (Reinsurer Events). The Ceding Company will have the right to fully recapture all Policies and terminate this Agreement: (i) with thirty (30) days prior written notice, as of the end of any Accounting Period, if the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement (unless such unpaid amount is paid, with applicable interest at the Delayed Payment Rate, before the end of the thirty (30) day notice period); (ii) as of the end of any Accounting Period in which a Reinsurance Credit Event has occurred and is continuing; (iii) as of the end of any Accounting Period, if the Reinsurer’s RBC Ratio is below 100% for two consecutive quarterly accounting periods; or (iv) immediately upon the Reinsurer being placed into liquidation, rehabilitation, or supervision under the Applicable Laws of its domestic jurisdiction. The Ceding Company must provide notice to the Reinsurer of its election to exercise its right to recapture all Policies and terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article XIII, Section 2, Subparagraph (e) within one hundred twenty (120) days following its receipt of notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any event in items (i) through (iv) above or such recapture right shall expire. For the avoidance of doubt, no Recapture Fee or Loss Carry Forward will be payable by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer with respect to a recapture under this Subparagraph.

f. Reinsurer’s Termination Right. The Reinsurer may terminate this Agreement if the Ceding Company fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement by giving the Ceding Company at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement effective as of last day of the Accounting Period for which such amount was not paid (the “Non-Payment Termination Date”). If such overdue amount is not paid, with applicable interest at the Delayed Payment Rate, before the end of the thirty (30) day notice period, the Reinsurer will be relieved of all liability under this Agreement as of the Non-Payment Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Non-Payment Termination Date, the Ceding Company shall remain liable to pay the Reinsurer the overdue amounts, any outstanding Loss Carry Forward and the Recapture Fee.

g. Automatic Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate when there is no liability remaining with respect to the Policies.

h. Effect of Recapture and Termination. After the effective date of any full recapture or other termination of this Agreement, the Reinsurer will no longer share in the experience on the Policies, including profits and losses. The recapture and termination of this Agreement or of the reinsurance in effect under this Agreement shall not extend to or affect any of the rights or obligations of the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer applicable to any period prior to the effective date of such recapture and termination.

3.	Recapture Fee

The “Recapture Fee” shall mean the amount set forth in the table below based on the calendar year of the effective date of recapture.


Calendar Year	Recapture Fee
2018	$	2,500,000
2019 to 2020	$	1,500,000
2021 to 2027	$	0
2028 and after		Not applicable

ARTICLE XIV - TERMINATION ACCOUNTING AND SETTLEMENT

1.	Termination Accounting and Settlement

A termination accounting and settlement will be calculated by the Ceding Company as of the effective date of full recapture or other termination pursuant to Article XIII, Section 2 as follows and a report will be delivered by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer:

a. The settlement as provided in Article XI, as of the effective date of recapture and termination, payable by the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, as applicable.

b. The Ceding Company will pay to the Reinsurer an amount equal to the Modco Reserve determined as of effective date of recapture and termination.

c. The Reinsurer will pay to the Ceding Company an amount equal to the Modco Reserve determined as of effective date of recapture and termination.

d. The Ceding Company will pay the Reinsurer an amount equal to the Loss Carry Forward, if any, determined as of effective date of recapture and termination, accumulated with interest, which shall apply in the case of any full recapture or other termination under Article XIII, Section 2 and which shall not apply in the case of Article XIII, Section 1, Subparagraph (e).

e. The Ceding Company will pay to the Reinsurer an amount equal to the Recapture Fee (which shall only apply in the case of a recapture under Article XIII, Section 2, Subparagraphs (a, d and f)) or 50% of the Recapture Fee (which shall only apply in the case of a recapture under Article XIII, Section 2, Subparagraph (b)).

f. Where the Ceding Company has fully recaptured all Polices by exercising its Maximum Trigger Recapture Option pursuant to Article XIII, Section 2, Subparagraph (c), the Reinsurer will pay to the Ceding Company an amount equal to the Experience Refund that would have otherwise been payable for the Accounting Period in which the Maximum Trigger Event occurred (because absent such recapture, the last Experience Refund, if any, would be paid for the Accounting Period ending immediately prior to the occurrence of the Maximum Trigger Event).

Within thirty (30) days following the effective date of full recapture or other termination pursuant to Article XIII, Section 2, the Ceding Company shall deliver to the Reinsurer a termination accounting report setting forth any net amount owed to either party by reason of such termination and accounting settlement (the “Termination Accounting Report”). Any net amount owed to either party by reason of such termination and accounting settlement shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after the Reinsurer receives the Termination Accounting Report.

2.	Supplemental Termination Accounting and Settlement

In the event that, subsequent to the recapture and termination of this Agreement, an adjustment is necessary with respect to any accounting hereunder, a supplemental termination and accounting settlement will be calculated by the Ceding Company and a report shall be delivered by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer. Any amount owed to either party by reason of such supplemental termination and accounting settlement shall be paid promptly upon the completion unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time of recapture or termination.

ARTICLE XV - CREDIT FOR REINSURANCE

The Reinsurer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Agreement all licenses and accreditations that are necessary to ensure that the Ceding Company will receive full credit on its statutory financial statements in Delaware for the reinsurance of the Coinsurance Benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement, provided that at no time shall such credit the Reinsurer is required to provide exceed the applicable Reinsurance Reserve Credit. If the Reinsurer fails to maintain all such licenses and accreditations, then the Reinsurer shall promptly take such steps as are necessary to: (i) restore such licenses and accreditations or (ii) establish a qualified reinsurance trust or provide a letter of credit or other form of collateral permitted under Applicable Law, in each case, such that the Ceding Company shall be able to obtain full credit on its statutory financial statements in Delaware for the reinsurance of the Coinsurance Benefits provided by this Agreement (but not in excess of the applicable Reinsurance Reserve Credit), it being understood that the Reinsurer shall have the sole discretion to elect among the methods available to it. The Reinsurer’s failure to complete such steps by the end of the calendar quarter in which Reinsurer fails to maintain all such licenses and accreditations in Delaware is a “Reinsurance Credit Event.”

ARTICLE XVI - POLICY ADMINISTRATION

1.	Administration of Policies

The Ceding Company will administer the Policies and will perform all accounting for the Policies and will keep records sufficient to reasonably demonstrate the liability of the Reinsurer under this Agreement. With respect to underwriting, claims and other administration practices for the Policies, the Ceding Company shall act (i) at its own expense (except as otherwise provided herein); (ii) in good faith and with reasonable care; (iii) consistent in all material respects with its then current practice governing the servicing of its and its affiliates’ business generally; and (iv) in accordance in all material respects with the terms of the Policies and Applicable Law.

2.	Non-Guaranteed Elements

From and after the Effective Date, the Ceding Company shall establish all non-guaranteed elements on the Policies (including rider fees, credited interest rates, mortality and expense risk charges or such other similar charges periodically deducted from the Policy accounts), in order to maintain the profitability on the Policies, as it existed on the Effective Date, subject to the limitations of any Applicable Law.

The Ceding Company will not materially change, alter, or otherwise compromise its nonguaranteed elements practices with respect to the Policies, except for any such changes required by any Applicable Law or Governmental Authority which shall automatically be binding on the Reinsurer hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Reinsurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon receipt of written notice of such material change, the Reinsurer shall inform the Ceding Company in writing

whether the Reinsurer consents to such material change. The Reinsurer shall be deemed to have consented to such material change if it fails to act in accordance with the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such material change. If the Reinsurer does not consent to any such material change, the Reinsurer’s liability under this Agreement will be determined as if no such material change has occurred.

The Ceding Company shall provide the Reinsurer with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any changes to the mortality and expense risk charges under the Policies.

3.	Adjustment

If the amount of any of the Ceding Company’s Policies is changed because of a misstatement of any material fact, the Reinsurer will share in the change proportionately to the amount reinsured hereunder and all proportional adjustments with the Ceding Company. If the Ceding Company’s liability on a Policy is changed due to a misstatement of age or sex, the Reinsurer will share in the change proportionately to the amount reinsured hereunder, and will make any and all proportionate adjustments with Ceding Company. The face amount of the Policy will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the applicable Policy, and any adjustment will be settled at the Delayed Payment Rate.

If the Ceding Company returns premiums as a result of misrepresentation or suicide of the insured individual on a Policy, the Reinsurer will refund to the Ceding Company all Reinsurance Premiums received by the Reinsurer with respect to that Policy, net of the allocable portion of the Expense Allowance, in lieu of any other form of reinsurance benefit payable hereunder.

4.	Plan and Policy Changes

The Ceding Company must provide written notification to the Reinsurer of any change which affects the original terms or conditions of any Policy (other than an election made by the policyholder pursuant to the original terms and conditions of such Policy) as soon as practicable and not later than ten (10) Business Days after such change takes effect. The Reinsurer will provide written notification to the Ceding Company as to the Reinsurer’s acceptance or rejection of the change (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that any such changes required by any Applicable Law or Governmental Authority shall be automatically binding on the Reinsurer hereunder. If the Reinsurer accepts such change, the Reinsurer will share in any increase or decrease in the liability of the Ceding Company on such Policy in proportion to their respective liabilities under this Agreement. If the Reinsurer rejects any such change, the Reinsurer’s liability under this Agreement will be determined as if no such change has occurred. The Reinsurer shall be deemed to have consented to such change if it fails to act in accordance with this Section within sixty (60) days following receipt of written notice of such change.

In the event of a lapse or termination occurring on or after the effective date of a Policy, reinsurance on that Policy will terminate hereunder and the Reinsurer will pay any corresponding surrender benefit in accordance the terms of the Policy to the Ceding Company. Failure to provide timely notification under this Section, provided that the Policy change does not adversely affect the Reinsurer, will not be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

5.	Reinstatements

If any Policy that was reduced, terminated, lapsed, or subject to conversion to reduced paid-up insurance is reinstated in accordance with its terms or the standard practices and guidelines of the Ceding Company or as required by any Applicable Law or Governmental Authority, the reinsurance coverage provided by the Reinsurer will be reinstated automatically (or established automatically in the case of any Policy that had been reduced, terminated, lapsed, or converted prior to or as of the Effective Date but would otherwise be subject to reinsurance hereunder) to the amount that would be in force if the Policy had not been reduced, terminated, lapsed, or converted. The Ceding Company will pay to the Reinsurer a proportionate share of all amounts collected from, or charged to, the insured in respect of such Policy reinstatement, subject to the allocable portion of the Expense Allowance.

ARTICLE XVII - INSOLVENCY

1.	Insolvency

A party to this Agreement will be deemed insolvent when it:

is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent;

files or consents to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, seeks reorganization to avoid insolvency, or makes formal application for any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or similar law or statute; or

becomes the subject of an order to rehabilitate or an order to liquidate as defined by the insurance code of the jurisdiction of the party’s domicile.

2.	Insolvency of the Ceding Company

In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise due under this Agreement will be payable to the Ceding Company or directly to the liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or statutory successor of the Ceding Company on the basis of the liabilities of the Ceding Company under the Policies, without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding Company.

In the event of insolvency of the Ceding Company, the liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or statutory successor will give written notice to the Reinsurer of all pending claims against the Ceding Company on any Policies within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. While a claim is pending, the Reinsurer may investigate and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where the claim is adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Ceding Company or its liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or statutory successor.

The expense incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the Ceding Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit that may accrue to the Ceding Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. Where two or more reinsurers are participating in the same claim and a majority in interest elects to interpose a defense or defenses to any such claim, the expense will be apportioned in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements to which the reinsurers are a party, or as mutually agreed, as though such expense had been incurred by the Ceding Company. No insolvency, rehabilitation, or liquidation of Ceding Company shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Company, the right of offset afforded under Article XII will remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

3.	Insolvency of the Reinsurer

In the event of the insolvency of the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company may terminate this Agreement by providing the Reinsurer, its receiver, rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator, or statutory successor with written notice of its intent to terminate all reinsurance in force under this Agreement, regardless of the duration the reinsurance has been in force or the amount retained by the Ceding Company. In the event of Insolvency, the right of offset afforded under Article XII will remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE XVIII - DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1.	Dispute Resolution

If either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer has given written notification of a dispute to the other party, then within fifteen (15) days of such notification both parties must designate an officer of their respective companies to attempt to resolve the dispute. The officers will meet at a mutually agreeable location as soon as possible and as often as necessary, in order to gather and furnish the other with all appropriate and relevant information concerning the dispute. The officers will discuss the problem and will negotiate in good faith without the necessity of litigation or any formal arbitration proceedings. During the negotiation process, all reasonable requests made by one officer to the other for information will be honored. The specific format for such discussions will be decided by the designated officers. All discussions and negotiations shall be “for settlement purposes only”, deemed confidential and not admissible in any legal proceeding in the event the dispute remains unresolved and is resolved through such proceedings. If these officers are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of their first meeting, the parties may proceed as set out in Section 2, 3 or 4 below, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the negotiation period for an additional thirty (30) days.

2.	Calculation Disputes

If the Ceding Company and Reinsurer are unable to mutually resolve a dispute or controversy relating to any amount calculated under this Agreement (a “Disputed Item”) as set out in Section 1 above, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Firm, and such determination by the Independent Firm shall be final and binding on the parties and may be extended and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company shall submit to the Independent Firm statements with respect to their respective positions on the Disputed Item and will cooperate with the Independent Firm by promptly providing any requested information reasonably related to the Disputed Item. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Firm’s review shall be limited to a determination of whether the Disputed Item was prepared without manifest mathematical errors and in accordance with this Agreement, and the Independent Firm shall not review any line items or make any determination with respect to any matters not subject to dispute. With respect to any such dispute, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer, shall not be more favorable to the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer than the amounts and calculations submitted by either such party to the Independent Firm. Any expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Firm in respect of its services pursuant to this Article XVIII, Section 2 shall be shared 50% by the Reinsurer and 50% by the Ceding Company. The Independent Firm shall be instructed to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its services within thirty (30) Business Days of submission by the Reinsurer and the Ceding Company of their respective statements with respect to the dispute and, in any case, as promptly as practicable after such submission.

3.	Arbitration

If the Ceding Company and Reinsurer are unable to mutually resolve a dispute or controversy relating to the Policies or this Agreement (other than with respect to a Disputed Item) as set out in Section 1 above, then either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer will notify the other party in writing of the nature of the dispute or controversy and the remedy sought. Each party shall appoint an arbitrator and the two so appointed shall then appoint a third arbitrator. If either party fails or refuses to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of a written request to do so, the other party may appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators do not agree upon a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, each arbitrator shall simultaneously submit to the other the names of five (5) individuals. Within seven (7) days of the exchange of names, each arbitrator shall rank the entire list of candidates, from 10 to 1, with 10 being the highest score. The individual receiving the highest combined ranking shall act as Chair of the panel. If there are two or more individuals who share the highest ranking, the parties shall draw lots to determine who should be the Chair. The arbitrators shall be individuals: (i) who are current or former officers of a life & health insurer or reinsurer with no less than ten years of experience in or serving as an officer in the insurance or reinsurance industry; and (ii) who are not under the control of either party and do not have a financial interest in the outcome of the arbitration.

The arbitration hearing shall be held in the location decided by a majority vote of the arbitrators. The arbitrators will regard this Agreement from the standpoint of practical business (giving consideration to industry customs and practices) as well as the law and are empowered to determine the interpretation of the treaty obligation. The written decision of a majority of the arbitrators will be final and binding on both parties and their respective successors and assigns.

There will be no appeal from the decision. Either party to the arbitration may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to reduce the decision to judgment. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration proceedings and the decision shall remain confidential.

Law, as applicable. Such amendment or restructuring may include an increase to the Reinsurance Risk Charge if an increase thereof can adequately compensate the Reinsurer in connection with such Reinsurer Change in Law; provided, that neither party shall be required to agree to an amendment that materially changes their risks under this Agreement and the Ceding Company shall not be required to agree to any increase in the Reinsurance Risk Charge.

b. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to the required amendment with respect to a Reinsurer Change in Law (“Reinsurer Change in Law Trigger Event”), then the Reinsurer may provide the Ceding Company with written notice that Experience Refunds are terminating as of the end of the Accounting Period during which the Reinsurer delivers such notice; provided, however, that if the Reinsurer provides such notice with less than thirty (30) days remaining in an Accounting Period, the Experience Refund will not terminate until the end of the Accounting Period immediately following the Accounting Period in which such notice is provided.

ARTICLE XXI - GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.	Entire Agreement; Amendment; Assigns and Successors

This Agreement will constitute the entire agreement between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer respecting the Policies and the reinsurance provided hereunder and there are no understandings between the parties other than as expressed in this Agreement and any prior oral or written agreements or understandings with respect to the Policies are hereby superseded.

This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or in any way amended except by instrument in writing duly executed by the authorized representatives of both parties. In the event a Governmental Authority or auditor requests a change in this Agreement, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer agree to work together in good faith to effect appropriate new or changed agreement language.

This Agreement shall be binding on the parties and their assigns and successors (including any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator of a party).

2.	Assignment

No right or obligation under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any purported assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void; provided, however, that a party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an affiliate so long as the assignment is made with the consent of the other party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

3.	Severability

To the extent that this Agreement may be in conflict with any Applicable Law, this Agreement will be construed in a manner not inconsistent with such Applicable Law. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by an arbitration panel or a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the same will not invalidate the whole of this Agreement, but such term or provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary in the opinion of the arbitration panel or a court to render such term or provision enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced accordingly preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and agreements of the parties set forth herein.

4.	Waiver

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege shall preclude the further exercise of that right, remedy, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. No waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence shall be construed as a waiver of that right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver.

5.	Headings

Any headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of the language herein.

6.	Governing Law

This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

7.	Parties to this Agreement

This Agreement is an indemnity agreement solely between the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer, and performance of the obligations of each party under this Agreement will be rendered solely to the other party. In no instance will anyone other than the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer have any rights under this Agreement, and the Ceding Company will be and remain solely liable to any insured, policyowner, or beneficiary under any Policy. To the extent applicable, in no way will the liability of the Reinsurer be increased by reason of the inability of the Ceding Company to collect from any other reinsurers, whether specific or general, any amounts which may be due from them, whether such inability arises from insolvency of such other reinsurers or otherwise. The Ceding Company agrees that it shall not make the Reinsurer a party to any litigation between any owner or policyholder of, or beneficiary or claimant under, a Policy and the Ceding Company.

8.	Compliance

This Agreement applies only to the issuance of Policies by the Ceding Company in a jurisdiction in which it is properly licensed to issue the Policies. The Ceding Company represents that it is in compliance in all material respects with all state and federal laws applicable to the Policies under this Agreement. In the event that the Ceding Company is found to be in non-compliance in any material respect with any such law, this Agreement will remain in effect and the Ceding Company will indemnify the Reinsurer for any loss the Reinsurer suffers as a result of such non-compliance, and will seek to remedy such non-compliance immediately upon discovery thereof.

9.	Survival

The terms and conditions of Articles I, II, XII, XIII, XIV, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XXI, XXII and Article XI, Sections 4, 6 and 8, shall survive the expiration, termination, or recapture of this Agreement.

10.

Rule of Construction

This Agreement is between sophisticated parties, each of which has reviewed this Agreement and is fully knowledgeable about its terms and conditions. The parties therefore agree that this Agreement shall be construed without regard to the authorship of the language and that any presumption or rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement.

11.

OFAC Compliance

The Ceding Company represents and warrants that is in compliance in all material respects with all sanction laws (including related regulations and judicial and administrative orders) administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and laws designating certain countries as blocked countries (as such laws may be amended from time to time, collectively, the “Sanction Laws”). Neither the Ceding Company nor the Reinsurer will be required to take any action under this Agreement that would violate said Sanction Laws, including, but not limited to, making any payments in violation of the Sanction Laws.

The Ceding Company agrees to, prior to making any payment under a Policy reinsured under this Agreement, screen, in accordance with current industry standards for the U.S. life insurance industry, the payee to ensure that the payee is not on the OFAC List of Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons (a “Prohibited Person”). The Reinsurer will have no obligation to indemnify the Ceding Company for any payment under any Policy reinsured under this Agreement if the payee is a Prohibited Person.

Should either party discover or otherwise become aware that a payment has been made in violation of the Sanction Laws, the party who first becomes aware of the violation will notify the other party within six (6) days of such discovery, and the Ceding Company will provide to the

Reinsurer written notice of all information known by the Ceding Company regarding the identity of the Prohibited Person, such as the name, date of birth, country, state or province and street address of the residence and/or business, social security number, driver’s license number or other governmental identification number, and telephone number(s) of such Prohibited Person. The parties will cooperate in order to take all reasonably necessary corrective actions.

12.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.

Pursuant to Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended from time to time (the “Code”) , the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer agree to comply with all requirements of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) for the duration of this Agreement. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date of this Agreement, but no later than six (6) days prior to the end of the first Accounting Period, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall each provide to the other all FATCA documentation required by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), which may include a valid ▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, W-9, or such other documentation approved for use by the IRS, that confirms any withholding requirements, or absence thereof.

The parties agree that should (i) the Ceding Company fail to provide the Reinsurer with the required FATCA documentation in a timely manner, the Reinsurer shall have the right to withhold from the Ceding Company any amounts necessary up to the maximum amount allowed by law in order to be in compliance with FATCA, and (ii) the Reinsurer fail to provide the Ceding Company with the required FATCA documentation in a timely manner, the Ceding Company shall have the right to withhold from the Reinsurer any amounts necessary up to the maximum amount allowed by law in order to be in compliance with FATCA.

b. Each party acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section by the other party and that the non-breaching party shall be entitled (without posting a bond) to seek injunctive relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach and that the non-breaching party shall not oppose the granting of such equitable relief.

c. Each party shall comply with all applicable state and federal privacy laws and requirements.

14.

Attorney-Client Privilege

The parties’ obligations to provide information and materials to each other under this Agreement shall not apply to any information or material that is covered by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product privilege. The foregoing shall not be deemed to waive any joint interest or other privilege that may apply to information or materials provided hereunder.

SCHEDULE D - DAC TAX ADJUSTMENT

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer hereby agree to the following pursuant to Section 1.8482(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations issued December 1992, under Section 848 of the Code, as amended. This election will be effective on the Effective Date and for all subsequent taxable years for which this Agreement remains in effect.

1.	The term “party” will refer to either the Ceding Company or the Reinsurer as appropriate.

2.	The terms used in this Schedule are defined by reference to Regulation Section 1.848-2 in effect December 1992.

3.	The party with the net positive consideration for this Agreement for each taxable year will capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of Section 848(c)(1).

4.	Both parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net consideration under this Agreement each year to ensure consistency or as otherwise required by the IRS.

The Ceding Company will submit a schedule to the Reinsurer by May 1 of each year of its calculation of the net consideration for the preceding calendar year. This schedule of calculations will be accompanied by a statement signed by an officer of the Ceding Company stating that the Ceding Company will report such net consideration in its tax return for the preceding calendar year.

The Reinsurer may contest such calculation by providing an alternative calculation to the Ceding Company in writing within twenty (20) Business Days of the Reinsurer’s receipt of the Ceding Company’s calculation. If the Reinsurer does not so notify the Ceding Company, the Reinsurer will report the net consideration as determined by the Ceding Company in the Reinsurer’s tax return for the previous calendar year.

If the Reinsurer contests the Ceding Company’s calculation of the net consideration, the parties will act in good faith to reach an agreement as to the correct amount within thirty (30) days of the date the Reinsurer submits its alternative calculation. If the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer reach agreement on an amount of net consideration, each party will report such amount in their respective tax returns for the previous calendar year. If the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer do not reach agreement on the amount of net consideration within such thirty (30) day period, then the amount of net consideration for such year shall be determined by an independent accounting firm acceptable to both parties within twenty (20) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

SCHEDULE E – RESERVE METHODOLOGY

The Actuarial Guideline XLIII (“VACARVM”) modeling is done using MG-Hedge and Triton. A stochastic model was built that projects the assets and liabilities over a 120 quarter time horizon and calculates CTE 70 of the greatest present values of accumulated deficiency without federal income taxes.

The standard scenario (“SS”) model is contained within the same MG-Hedge model, with modifications made for the required SS specific functionality. The basic adjusted reserve (“BAR”) and surrender charge amortization period (“SCAP”) needed for the standard scenario run in MG-Hedge are calculated using the Triton valuation system. The MG-Hedge model is run with seriatim data only.

VACARVM calculation:

For purposes of calculating the VACARVM reserves on the deferred annuity block, the following approach is used:

1. Calculate the basic reserve, BAR and SCAP using MG-Triton valuation software.

2. Put the BAR and SCAP into extracts for use in MG-Hedge on a seriatim basis.

3. Calculate the standard scenario amount according to VACARVM rules, which is floored by the CSV.

4. Calculate the Conditional Tail Expectation amount from the stochastic model.

5. Add the excess of step 4 over step 3 if any, allocated on a policy by policy basis, to the amount calculated in step 3.

The “Gross Statutory Reserve” equals the VACARVM reserve described in the 5 steps above before the effects of the Hannover Agreement (as described below) and net of the Existing Reinsurance (as determined below). The “Net Statutory Reserve” equals (A) the Gross Statutory Reserve less (B) the Hannover Reinsurance Credit (as described below), as calculated and developed above for the effects of the Hannover Agreement.

Existing Reinsurance:

Three treaties for Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (“GMDB”) on Regatta Platinum and Futurity II became effective in 1999 whereby a portion of the GMDB reserve was ceded on an YRT basis. Reinsurance is modeled according to the treaties with AXA and London Life. To calculate the impact of reinsurance for the stochastic results, the model is run without any of the reinsurance treaties. Then the treaties are layered on in a series of runs, providing reserve impact for each treaty. The individual reinsurance (London Life) for the standard scenario may create a net reserve of $0 for the GMDB risks. The aggregate reinsurance for the AXA treaties are subtracted from the gross standard scenario reserve.

Hannover Reinsurance (to the extent of any conflict between the description below and the terms of the Agreement to which this Schedule E is attached, the Agreement shall govern):

A reinsurance agreement with Hannover Life Reinsurance Company of America (“Hannover”) became effective on January 1, 2018. The agreement provides for base product (i.e. no living benefits, excess death benefits or riders included under this coverage) coverage through variable annuity separate account modified coinsurance at a 99% quota share and coinsurance coverage with no reinsurance premium at a

E-1

1% quota share. The variable annuity separate account includes only the insulated separate accounts (“S/A”) of Delaware Life Insurance Company (“DLIC”). The agreement also provides for variable annuity fixed account (“Fixed Account”) coinsurance coverage for a quota share of 100% of the base product (i.e. no living benefits, excess death benefits or riders included under this coverage). The Fixed Account includes both the general account portion of the policyholder account value and the noninsulated separate accounts of DLIC.

The projected cash flows of the reinsurance agreement are modeled including an experience refund, while applicable. The experience rating refund terminates on January 1, 2028 and DLIC has the right to recapture the agreement on this date. Therefore, the modeling assumes a recapture on this date. Given the 100% combined quota shares on both the general and separate accounts, the reserve calculations do not require a cash value floor in the quarterly durations prior to January 1, 2028. The cash value floor is used for all duration calculations after that date.

The Hannover assumed reserve is 100% coinsurance of the fixed account Cash Surrender Value, plus 1% coinsurance of the separate account Cash Surrender Value (“Hannover Gross Statutory Reserve”). The reinsurance credit for DLIC is the difference between the CARVM reserve before and after the Hannover agreement. However, for operational reasons, DLIC has adopted a simplified approach that calculates the reinsurance credit (“Hannover Reinsurance Credit”) as the difference between (A) the stochastic modeled reserve without the Hannover agreement with hedging and 100% hedge credit/cost, less (B) the stochastic modeled reserve with the Hannover agreement with hedging and 100% hedge credit/cost. As of January 1, 2018 such simplified approach is conservative in that it can only under-state the reinsurance credit. Furthermore, DLIC caps the reinsurance credit at a maximum of 100% of the Hannover assumed reserve. As a result, the sum of the Hannover assumed reserve and the DLIC net reserve with the Hannover agreement will always be greater than or equal to the DLIC reserve without the Hannover agreement.
