This document constitutes Standard Selling Agent Agreement Terms which are incorporated by reference in the Selling Agent Agreement, dated as of the date set forth therein (the "Selling Agent Agreement"), by and among the Trust, the Company, and each Agent specified in the Selling Agent Agreement. The Selling Agent Agreement is set forth in Section F of the Omnibus Instrument and these Standard Selling Agent Agreement Terms are attached as Exhibit F to the Omnibus Instrument.

These Standard Selling Agent Agreement Terms shall be of no force and effect unless and until incorporated by reference into, and then only to the extent not modified by, the Selling Agent Agreement.

The following terms and provisions shall govern the terms of the distribution of the Notes issued by the Trust, subject to such other terms and provisions expressly adopted in the Selling Agent Agreement.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in these Standard Selling Agent Agreement Terms shall have their respective meanings ascribed to them in the Selling Agent Agreement.

In connection with the Protective Life Secured InterNotes® Program (the "Retail Program"), the Company has authorized the issuance and sale from time to time of funding agreements to Protective Life Secured Trusts in order to secure the issuance of medium-term notes due nine months or more from the date of issuance by the Trust and any other trust organized in connection with the Registration Statement (defined below) of up to U.S. $3,000,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of such notes (or its equivalent as determined pursuant to Section III(b)(vii) herein) to the Agents pursuant to the terms of this Selling Agent Agreement, any other selling agent agreement entered into by and among the Company, the agent(s) named therein and any trust (other than the Trust) organized in connection with the Registration Statement and any distribution agreement (each, a "Distribution Agreement") entered into by and among the Company, the dealer(s) named therein and any trust (other than the Trust) organized in connection with the Protective Life Secured Medium-Term Notes Program (the "Institutional Program," together with the Retail Program, the "Program").

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Trust shall issue only one Series of Notes. The Trust will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to purchase one or more funding agreements (each a "Funding Agreement") from the Company. The Notes will be secured by one or more Funding Agreement(s) which will be assigned by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture. In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Trust will prepare a Pricing Supplement (the "Pricing Supplement") including or incorporating by reference a description of the terms of the Notes, the terms of the offering and a description of the Trust.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Selling Agent Agreement, the Company and the Trust hereby (1) appoint Incapital LLC as purchasing agent (the "Purchasing Agent"); (2) appoint the Purchasing Agent and each of the other parties listed on the signature page hereto as agents of the Company and the Trust (the Purchasing Agent and each such party, an "Agent") for the purpose of soliciting offers to purchase the Notes, and each of the Agents hereby agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase Notes upon terms acceptable to the Company and the Trust at such times and in such amounts as the Company and the Trust shall from time to time specify in accordance with the terms hereof and after consultation with the Purchasing Agent; and (3) agree that the sale of the Notes shall be sold pursuant to this Selling Agent Agreement, with the Purchasing Agent

purchasing such Notes as principal for resale to the Agents or dealers (the "Selected Dealers"), each of whom will purchase such Notes as principal.

The Company has made the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). The Company has filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-100944) and pre-effective amendment no. 1 thereto for the registration of funding agreements and notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations"). Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission and the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939 Act"), and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may be required prior to the Trust's acceptance of any offer for the purchase of Notes and each such post-effective amendment has been declared effective by the Commission. Such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable) is referred to herein as the "Registration Statement"; and the final prospectus and all applicable amendments or supplements thereto (including the final prospectus supplements and Pricing Supplement(s) relating to the offering of the Notes), in the form first furnished to the Agents for use in confirming sales of the Notes, are collectively referred to herein as the "Prospectus"; provided, however, that all references to the "Registration Statement", and the "Prospectus" shall also be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the 1934 Act, prior to any acceptance by the Trust of an offer for the purchase of Notes; provided, further, that if the Company files a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (the "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement"), then, after such filing, all references to the "Registration Statement" shall also be deemed to include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. A "preliminary prospectus" shall be deemed to refer to any prospectus and any prospectus supplement used before the Registration Statement became effective and any prospectus and any prospectus supplement furnished by the Company after the Registration Statement became effective and before any acceptance by the Trust of an offer for the purchase of Notes which omitted information to be included upon pricing in a form of prospectus and prospectus supplement filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations. For purposes of this Selling Agent Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system ("▇▇▇▇▇").

All references in this Selling Agent Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is "disclosed", "contained", "included" or "stated" (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Selling Agent Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the 1934 Act which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus, as the case may be.

(a) Solicitations as Agent. The Agents propose to solicit offers to purchase the Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus and upon the terms communicated to the Agents from time to time by the Company and the Trust or the Purchasing Agent, as the case may be. For the purpose of such solicitation, the Agents are not authorized, without the prior written consent of the Company, to provide any written information relating to the Company and the Trust to any prospective purchaser other than the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented which has been most recently distributed to the Agents by the Company, and the Agents will solicit offers to purchase only as permitted or contemplated thereby and herein and will solicit offers to purchase the Notes only as permitted by the 1933 Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. The Company and the Trust reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of instructions (which may be given orally) from the Company and the Trust, the Agents will suspend promptly solicitation of offers to purchase until such time as the Company and the Trust has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed.

Unless otherwise instructed by the Company and the Trust, the Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Notes only in denominations of $1,000 or more (in multiples of $1,000). The Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes without the consent of the Company and the Trust. Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein. The Company and the Trust agree to pay the Purchasing Agent, as consideration for soliciting offers to purchase Notes pursuant to the Selling Agent Agreement, a concession in the form of a discount equal to the percentages of the initial offering price of each Note actually sold as set forth in Exhibit Q hereto (the "Concession"); provided, however, that the Company, the Trust and the Purchasing Agent may agree also to a Concession greater than or less than the percentages set forth on Exhibit Q hereto. The actual aggregate Concession with respect to the Notes will be set forth in the related Pricing Supplement. The Purchasing Agent and the other Agents or Selected Dealers will share the above-mentioned Concession in such proportions as they may agree.

Unless otherwise authorized by the Company and the Trust, all Notes shall be sold to the public at a purchase price not to exceed 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any. Such purchase price shall be set forth in the confirmation statement of the Agent or Selected Dealer responsible for such sale and delivered to the purchaser along with a copy of the Prospectus (if not previously delivered) and Pricing Supplement.

(b) Sale of Notes. The Company and the Trust shall not sell Notes in excess of the aggregate initial offering price of notes registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and any additional aggregate offering price of notes registered pursuant to a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The Agents shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate initial offering price of notes sold (including the Notes), or of otherwise monitoring the availability of notes for sale, under the Registration Statement.

(c) Administrative Procedures. Procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of, and the solicitation of purchases and payment for, the Notes are set forth in the Administrative Procedures attached hereto as Exhibit R (the "Procedures"), as amended from time to time. Unless otherwise provided in a Selling Agent Agreement, the provisions of the Procedures shall apply to all transactions contemplated hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed, the Agents, the Company and the Trust shall perform, and the Company agrees to cause the Administrator and Indenture Trustee to perform, their respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by each in the Procedures as amended from time to time. The Procedures may only be amended by written agreement of the Company, the Trust and the Agents.

Purchases as Principal. Each sale of Notes shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Selling Agent Agreement which provides for the sale of such Notes to, and the purchase and reoffering thereof by, the Purchasing Agent as principal. This Selling Agent Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by the Purchasing Agent. The offering of Notes by the Trust hereunder and the Purchasing Agent's agreement to purchase Notes pursuant to the Selling Agent Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Trust herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. This Selling Agent Agreement describes the Notes to be purchased pursuant thereto by the Purchasing Agent as principal, and specifies, among other things, the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, the interest rate or formula and maturity date or dates of such Notes, the interest payment dates, if any, the net proceeds to the Trust, the initial public offering price at which the Notes are proposed to be reoffered, and the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes, whether the Notes provide for a Survivor's Option, whether the Notes are redeemable or repayable and on what terms and conditions, and any other relevant terms.

VI.

(ii) No Material Changes. Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (A) there has been no event or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust or on the power or ability of the Trust to perform its obligations under this Selling Agent Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Funding Agreement(s), the Administrative Services Agreement (the "Administration Agreement"), between the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and the Administrator, the License Agreement (the "License Agreement") between the Trust and Protective Life Corporation or the Notes or to consummate the transactions to be performed by it as contemplated in the Prospectus (a "Trust Material Adverse Effect") and (B) there have been no transactions entered into by the Trust, other than those related to the Retail Program or in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to the Trust.

This Selling Agent Agreement, each relevant Funding Agreement, the Indenture, the Administration Agreement and the License Agreement have been or will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trust. Assuming that each party to this Selling Agent Agreement, each relevant Funding Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the License Agreement and the Indenture other than the Trust, as applicable, has duly authorized, executed and delivered each such agreement, then this Selling Agent Agreement, each relevant Funding Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Indenture and the License Agreement will each be a valid and legally binding agreement of the Trust enforceable against the Trust in accordance with its terms, as applicable, except (A) as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (B) except as enforcement thereof may be limited by requirements that a claim with respect to the Notes issued under the Indenture that are payable in a foreign or composite currency (or a foreign or composite currency judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or by governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States, and (C) that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the enforceability of Section VIII hereof, and (D) that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the enforceability of the Funding Agreement(s) to the extent that the source of the funds used by the Trust to purchase such Funding Agreement renders such funds, or any property or investment acquired with such funds, subject to governmental seizure or other penalty under the USA Patriot Act of 2001, as amended, or any other law, rule or regulation, relating to money laundering, terrorist financing or other illegal activities; the Notes have been duly authorized by the Trust for offer, sale, issuance and delivery pursuant to this Selling Agent Agreement and, when issued, authenticated and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the consideration therefor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Notes, when executed by the Trust and issued, authenticated and delivered in the manner provided for in the

Indenture and delivered against payment of the consideration therefor, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(iv) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts.

VIII.

(a) Indemnification of the Agents. The Company and Trust agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each person, if any, who controls such Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to (i) any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or Trust by the Agents expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), (ii) any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of any statements in or omissions from that part of the

Registration Statement which constitutes the Statements of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the 1939 Act of the Indenture Trustee or (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, expense, damage or liability of such Agent results from the fact that such Agent sold Notes to a person as to whom it shall be established by the Company and the Trust that there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) in any case where such delivery is required by the 1933 Act, if such Agent failed to make reasonable efforts generally consistent with the then prevailing industry practice to effect such delivery and the Company and the Trust has previously furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantities to such Agent and the loss, claim, expense, damage or liability of such Agent results from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus that was corrected in the Prospectus.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and the Trust. Each Agent agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trust, their directors, officers and trustees (if applicable) who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section VIII(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Trust by such Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section VIII(a) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the applicable Agents and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section VIII(b) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section VIII hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) is for monetary damages only, (ii) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (iii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any claim, suit,

litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, arising out of the events or occurrences described in Section VIII(a) (if the Company and Trust are the indemnifying parties) or Section VIII(b) (if an Agent is an indemnifying party), and such settlement is effected without the indemnifying party's written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by this Section VIII(d) effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (i) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent it considers such request to be reasonable and (ii) provides written notice to the indemnified party substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section VIII hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein (other than as provided therein), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Trust, on one hand, and the applicable Agents, on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes, as the case may be, that were the subject of the claim for indemnification or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Trust, on one hand, and the applicable Agents, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Trust, on the one hand, and the applicable Agents, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Notes, as the case may be, that were the subject of the claim for indemnification shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Trust and the total discount or commission received by the applicable Agents, as the case may be, bears to the aggregate initial offering price of such Notes.

The relative fault of the Company and the Trust, on one hand, and the applicable Agents, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Trust, on one hand, or by the applicable Agents, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section VIII(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section VIII(e). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section VIII(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any applicable untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section VIII(e), (i) no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price, at which the Notes underwritten by such Agent and distributed to the public, were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any applicable untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In addition, in connection with an offering of Notes purchased from the Trust by two or more Agents as principal, the respective obligations of such Agents to contribute pursuant to this Section VIII(e) are several, and not joint, in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Notes that each such Agent has agreed to purchase from the Trust.

For purposes of this Section VIII(e), each person, if any, who controls a Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, and each director, officer and trustee (if applicable) of the Company or Trust, as applicable, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or Trust, as applicable.

IX.

Termination. The Company and the Trust may elect to suspend or terminate the offering of Notes under this Agreement at any time; the Company and the Trust also (as to any one or more of the Agents) or any Agent (as to itself) may terminate the appointment and arrangements described in this Agreement. Upon receipt of instructions from the Company and the Trust, the Purchasing Agent shall suspend or terminate the participation of any Selected Dealer under the Master Selected Dealer Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit S. Such actions may be taken, in the case of the Company and the Trust, by giving prompt written notice of suspension to all of the Agents and by giving not less than 30 days' written notice of termination to the affected party and the other parties to this Agreement, or in the case of an Agent, by giving not less than 30 days' written notice of termination to the Company and the Trust and except that, if at the time of termination an offer for the purchase of Notes shall have been accepted by the Trust but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Note or Notes relating thereto shall not yet have occurred, the Company and the Trust shall have the obligations provided herein with respect to such Note or Notes. The Company and the Trust shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any such termination.

The Purchasing Agent may, and, upon the request of an Agent with respect to any Notes being purchased by such Agent shall, terminate this Selling Agent Agreement by the Purchasing Agent to purchase such Notes, immediately upon written notice to the Company and the Trust at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto, (i) if there has been, since the time of such agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or of the Trust, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation of existing hostilities or other calamity or crisis or any similar change or similar development or event (including without limitation, an act of terrorism) involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Agents after consultation with the Company, impracticable to market such Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of such Notes, (iii) trading in any securities of Protective Life Corporation, a publicly owned holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), the Company, or Trust has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock

Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, (iv) a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or (v) the rating assigned by any Ratings Agency to the Program, any notes issued pursuant to the Registration Statement, or any debt securities (including the Notes) of the Trust or any securities or the financial strength of the Corporation or Company as of the date of such agreement shall have been lowered or withdrawn since that date or if any Ratings Agency shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its rating of the Program, any notes issued pursuant to the Registration Statement or any such debt securities (including the Notes) of the Trust or any securities or the financial strength of the Corporation or Company; provided, however, that such agreement may not be terminated by an Agent if such Agent knew about any such action or announcement by any Ratings Agency prior to the date and time of the execution of this Selling Agent Agreement by such Agent to purchase Notes from the Trust.

If this Selling Agent Agreement is terminated, Section VIII and Section XII hereof shall survive and shall remain in effect; provided that if at the time of termination of this Agreement an offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the Trust but the time of delivery to the Purchasing Agent of such Notes has not occurred, the provisions of all of Section III, Section IV and Section V shall also survive until time of delivery.

In the event a proposed offering is not completed according to the terms of this Selling Agent Agreement, an Agent will be reimbursed by the Company and the Trust only for out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred.
