The retrocession provided by the Retrocessionaire under this Agreement shall create no right or legal relationship between the Retrocessionaire and the Ceding Company and/or any owner, policyholder, insured, beneficiary or claimant of any Policy.

5.2

If and to the extent that the condition precedent referred to in Clause 2.1 is not complied with then (and without limitation or prejudice to the rights of the Retrocedent arising under Clause 13.2 to set off against Retrocedent Payment amounts due to the Retrocessionare any amounts past due and outstanding from the Retrocessionaire) the Retrocedent shall be entitled to withhold any Retrocedent Payment due to the Retrocessionaire for a period of up to 9 calendar months from the scheduled Settlement Date for such payment and shall further be entitled to:-

5.3

Where an Additional Retrocession Premium amount that is payable by the Retrocedant to the Retrocessionaire in respect of any Accounting Period is reduced, compared to the Additional Retrocession Premium amount as originally projected in respect of such Accounting Period, the Retrocedant shall notify to the Retrocessionaire an updated Schedule 5 in which all future Retrocession Commission Adjustments are reduced in proportion with the cumulative reduction in actual or most recently projected Additional Retrocession Premiums compared to the Additional Retrocession Premiums as originally projected as at the Effective Date.

Collateral Account

Required Collateral Amount

6.1

The Retrocedant shall include its updated calculation of the Required Collateral Amount in each Quarterly Account Statement and such amount shall constitute the Required Collateral Amount for the period commencing on the date (the Required Collateral Amount Determination Date) which falls on the sixtieth (60^th) Business Day following the end of the Accounting Period to which the Quarterly Account Statement relates to the date which falls on the sixtieth (60^th) Business Day following the end of the subsequent Accounting Period. The Retrocedant may at its absolute discretion elect to recalculate the Required Collateral Amount by giving the Retrocessionaire three (3) Business Days' notice of its intention to do so whereupon the Retrocedant may deliver a recalculation of the Required Collateral Amount based on the Yield Curve as at the end of the Business Day which falls immediately after the expiration of the abovementioned written notice period. Such Business Day shall, for the purpose of the terms of this Agreement, be deemed to be a Required Collateral Amount Determination Date. Whenever providing a calculation of the Required Collateral Amount in accordance with this Clause 6.1, the Retrocedant shall use up to date best estimate cash flows prepared in accordance with such due skill, care and diligence that would be reasonably expected of a reinsurer in the Retrocedant's position and transacting reinsurance business in the Japanese life and health reinsurance market that is similar to the business reinsured under the Underlying Reinsurance Agreement.

Daily Valuation

6.2

[***].

6.3

On the opening of each Business Day that falls on or after the Collateral Commencement Date and that is a Business Day during which the Required Collateral Amount is greater than zero, the Retrocedent shall provide to the Retrocessionaire:- (i) the Required Collateral Amount in USD; (ii) details of Eligible Collateral assets currently held in the Retrocedent Account and (iii) the aggregate Margin Value of such Eligible Collateral currently held. For the valuation of the Eligible Collateral assets, the Retrocedent shall use the closing price of the previous business day of each security constituting Eligible Collateral converted into USD (provided that if such a quantification is not available on any given date, the quantification shall be made, as at the most recently preceding date for which a quantification is available). Should a security not have been priced for 3 consecutive Business Days, the security shall cease to qualify as an Eligible Collateral asset. Ineligible collateral assets will be valued at a Margin Value of zero.

Collateral “top-ups”

6.4

If, on any Business Day that falls on or after the Collateral Commencement Date, the Required Collateral Amount is greater than the aggregate Margin Value of the Eligible Collateral in the Retrocedent Account, the Retrocedent shall be entitled to demand Additional Eligible Collateral and the Retrocessionaire shall transfer sufficient Eligible Collateral from the Retrocessionaire Account to the Retrocedent Account (the Additional Eligible Collateral) so that after the transfer of such Additional Eligible Collateral to the Retrocedent Account the aggregate Margin Value of the Eligible Collateral in the Retrocedent Account equals or exceeds the Required Collateral Amount.

Excess Collateral

6.5

If, on any Business Day that falls on or after the Collateral Commencement Date, the aggregate Margin Value of the Eligible Collateral in the Retrocedent Account exceeds the Required Collateral Amount (as most recently determined pursuant to this Agreement and notified by the Retrocedent to the Retrocessionaire in accordance with Clause 6.2.) (the amount of such excess being the Excess Collateral Amount), the Retrocessionaire shall be entitled to demand redelivery of the Excess Collateral Amount and the Retrocedent shall transfer Eligible Collateral from the Retrocedent Account to the Retrocessionaire Account having an aggregate Margin Value equal to the Excess Collateral Amount.

Substitutions

6.6

Should the Retrocessionaire wish to exchange one Eligible Collateral asset for another, the Retrocessionaire may submit a substitution request to the Retrocedent, provided that the Eligible Collateral to be removed by way of substitution may not be withdrawn until Eligible Collateral of at least the same Margin Value shall have been credited to and received into the Retrocedent Account.

Distributions

6.7

[***]

Letter of Credit

7.1

Subject to the Retrocedant's written consent, the Retrocessionaire may procure the delivery to the Retrocedant of a valid and enforceable Letter of Credit. Following the delivery of such a Letter of Credit, the Retrocedant will recalculate the Required Collateral Amount in accordance with Clause 6.1, notwithstanding that the required form of such Letter of Credit must be agreed between the Parties and appended to this Agreement before such Letter of Credit may be considered in any calculation of the Required Collateral Amount.

7.2

The Letter of Credit shall be clean, irrevocable, unconditional and "evergreen" and issued by a mutually agreed Permitted Bank and shall permit the Retrocedant to call upon an amount up to the LoC Payment Amount in order to secure the payment by the Retrocessionaire of any amount which is either due hereunder.

7.3

The Letter of Credit shall be structured by the Bank Guarantor to expire on 31 December of the calendar year in which it is issued; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit shall contain terms that it shall be deemed to automatically extend each year for an additional year (until the final expiration date), unless the Bank Guarantor provides written notice to the Retrocedant of its election not to extend at least sixty (60) days prior to the Letter of Credit’s then-current expiry date (a “Premature Bank Non-Renewal”);

7.5

The Retrocessionaire shall have forty-five (45) days from its receipt of the LOC Cure Notice to (a) arrange for a replacement standby letter of credit from the Bank Guarantor for the value of the LoC Payment Amount as of the date of the Letter of Credit’s expiry and on terms and conditions reasonably comparable to those set forth in the Letter of Credit; (b) arrange for a replacement standby letter of credit from a different bank, being a Permitted Bank, for the value of the remaining LoC Payment Amount as of the date of the Letter of Credit’s expiry; or (c) reach a different agreement with the Retrocedant regarding the disposition of obligations and funds.

7.6

If the Retrocessionaire does not fulfil one of the conditions set forth in Clause 7.5, above, within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of the LoC Cure Notice, then the Retrocedant shall be entitled to immediately, without further notice, draw down the then-applicable LoC Payment Amount under the Letter of Credit prior to its expiry, according to the terms of the Letter of Credit (such event is the “Premature Non-Renewal Drawdown”).

(a)

the Retrocedant has previously underpaid the Retrocessionaire or the Retrocessionaire has previously overpaid the Retrocedant, it shall be referred to as a Retrocedant Error Adjustment Amount; or

(b)

the Retrocedant shall, following the Termination Date, submit the final Quarterly Account Statement to the Retrocessionaire within sixty (60) Business Days from the end of the calendar quarter in which the Termination Date occurred and otherwise in accordance with Clause 4 (the Provisional Settlement Amount). For the avoidance of doubt, the final Quarterly Account Statement shall include a final and updated Required Collateral Amount (if applicable) calculated in accordance with Clause 6.1.

(i)

pay to the other Party or require payment from the other Party, as the case may be, an amount in JPY of the Additional Eligible Collateral amount or the Excess Collateral Amount, as the case may be, as is required to be transferred in accordance with Clause 6.4 or Clause 6.5, as the case may be, so as to ensure that the Margin Value of Eligible Collateral assets standing to the credit of the Retrocedent Account following the expiry of the five (5) Business Day's notice period is equal to the Required Collateral Amount set out in the final Quarterly Account Statement provided by the Retrocedent to the Retrocessionaire in accordance with this Clause 15.7(b); or,

(ii)

adjust the Recapture Amount calculated in accordance with Clause 15.7(d) with the collateral adjustment amount referred to in 15.7(b)(i).

(c)

[***]

(d)

In the event that the sum of the Provisional Settlement Amount and the Recapture Amount is:-

(A)

A positive amount, (a Positive Recapture Amount) then the Retrocedant shall pay such positive amount to the Retrocessionaire; or

(B)

a negative amount, then the Retrocessionaire shall pay the absolute value of such negative amount (a Negative Recapture Amount) to the Retrocedant,

within fourteen (14) days of the later of: (a) Retrocedent's submission to the Retrocessionaire of the final Quarterly Account Statement to the Retrocessionaire; and, (b) the date of the Expert's determination made in accordance with Schedule 3.

(e)

On and after the Termination Date full legal and beneficial ownership of the Closing Collateral Assets shall remain fully vested in the Retrocedent and the Retrocedent shall be entitled to dispose freely of the Closing Collateral Assets from such date. In the event that a Negative Recapture Amount is payable by the Retrocessionaire in accordance with Clause15.7(d)(B), then (subject to any subsequent adjustment arising under Clause 15.7(b)(ii)) the Retrocedent may apply the Closing Collateral Assets (valued in accordance with Clause 15.8) against the Negative Recapture Amount due from the Retrocessionaire under Clause 15.7(d)(B).

(f)

In the event that the Negative Recapture Amount minus the Closing Collateral Amount (the Balancing Recapture Payment Amount) is:-

(i)

a positive amount, then such positive Balancing Recapture Payment Amount shall be paid in JPY by the Retrocessionaire to the Retrocedent; or,

(ii)

a negative amount, then the absolute value of such negative Balancing Recapture Payment Amount shall be paid in JPY by the Retrocedent to the Retrocessionaire, and, in either case, such Balancing Recapture Payment Amount shall be made by the Party with the obligation to make such payment by the later of the dates referred to in Clause 15.7(d).

15.8

The Default Market Value of each Closing Collateral Security shall be determined as follows:-

(a)

If between the Termination Date and the Default Valuation Time:-

(i)

the Retrocedent has sold any securities which form part of the same issue and are of an identical type and description as the Closing Collateral Securities (and regardless as to whether or not such sales have settled) then the Retrocedent may elect to treat as the Default Market Value the net proceeds of such sale of such securities; provided that, where the securities sold are not identical in amount to the Closing Collateral Securities, the Retrocedent may, acting in good faith, either (A) elect to treat such net proceeds of sale divided by the amount of securities sold and multiplied by the amount of the Closing Collateral Securities as the Default Market Value or (B) elect to treat such net proceeds of sale of the Closing Collateral Securities actually sold as the Default Market Value of that proportion of the Closing Collateral Securities, and, in the case of (B), the Default Market Value of the balance of the Closing Collateral Securities shall be determined separately in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15.8;

(ii)

the Retrocedent has received bid quotations in respect of Closing Collateral Securities from two or more market makers or regular dealers in the Appropriate Market in a commercially reasonable size (as determined by the Retrocedent) the Retrocedent may elect to treat as the Default Market Value of the Closing Collateral Securities the price quoted (or where more than one price is so quoted, the arithmetic mean of the prices so quoted) by each of them for the purchase by the relevant market maker or dealer of such securities, provided that such price or prices quoted may be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Retrocedent to reflect accrued but unpaid coupons not reflected in the price or prices quoted in respect of such Closing Collateral Securities;

(b)

If, acting in good faith, either (A) the Retrocedent has endeavoured but been unable to sell securities in accordance with Clause 15.8(a)(i) or to obtain quotations in accordance with Clause 15.8(a)(ii) (or both) or (B) the Retrocedent has determined that it would not be commercially reasonable to sell securities at the prices bid or to obtain such quotations, or that it would not be commercially reasonable to use any quotations which it has obtained under Clause 15.8(a)(ii), the Retrocedent may determine the Value of the relevant Closing Collateral Securities and the Retrocedent may elect to treat such Value as the Default Market Value of the relevant Closing Collateral Securities.

(c)

To the extent that the Retrocedent has not determined the Default Market Value in accordance with Clause 15.8(a), the Default Market Value of the relevant Closing Collateral Securities shall be an amount equal to their Value at the Default Valuation Time; provided that, if at the Default Valuation Time, the Retrocedent reasonably determines that, owing to circumstances affecting the market in the Closing Collateral Securities in question, it is not reasonably practicable for the Retrocedent to determine a Value of such Closing Collateral Securities which is commercially reasonable (by reason of lack of tradable prices or otherwise), the Default Market Value of such Closing Collateral Securities shall be an amount equal to their Value as determined by the Retrocedent as soon as reasonably practicable after the Default Valuation Time.

15.9

All provisions of this Agreement shall survive its termination to the extent necessary to carry out the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement (including, but without limitation to, the transfer of any Additional Eligible Collateral amounts or any Excess Collateral Amounts or any adjustment thereto; the payment of the Provisional Settlement Amount and the Net Recapture Amount in accordance with Clause 15.7 or any adjustment thereto; and the duty to provide any Quarterly Account Statement or any Revised Statement and settle such amounts as are set out therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) or to ascertain and enforce the Parties' rights or obligations hereunder existing at the Termination Date.

The Tribunal shall within thirty (30) days of the final arbitration hearing in the arbitration issue to the Parties its written and reasoned award. The Tribunal shall have no power to award consequential or punitive damages. The award shall be final and binding on the Parties who covenant to carry out the same. If either of the Parties should fail to carry out the award the other may apply for its enforcement to a court of competent jurisdiction in any country in which the Party in default is domiciled or has assets or carries on business.

16.11

In addition to the authority conferred on the Tribunal by the rules specified in this Clause 16, the Tribunal shall have the authority to make orders for interim relief necessary to preserve the Party's rights, including orders for protection of the property in dispute or injunctions.

Schedule 3

Dispute Resolution Procedure

Any dispute or difference between the Parties under this Agreement for which this Schedule 3 is stated to apply, shall, if not settled through discussion between the Parties, be resolved or settled by dispute resolution in accordance with the procedure set out in this Schedule:

Nothing in this Schedule shall prevent a Party to a dispute from seeking interim relief and/or conservatory measures (whether negative or positive and notwithstanding whether the relief and/or measures sought may overlap with a remedy which is, or may be, claimed in proceedings between the parties) from the courts of England and Wales.

Any dispute or difference between the Parties shall be referred in writing to the appropriate senior representatives within their respective organisations who will endeavour to settle the dispute in good faith.

If the dispute has not been agreed or settled within thirty (30) days of it being referred to the appropriate senior representatives (and if it was not referred to such representatives simultaneously, thirty (30) days from the date of the first referral), the dispute shall be referred to an independent actuary jointly appointed by the Parties (or, failing agreement on such appointment within sixty (60) days of it being referred to the Parties (and if it was not referred to the Parties simultaneously, sixty (60) days from the date of the first referral), by the President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in the United Kingdom upon request by either Party) for resolution (such actuary, the Expert). It is the intention of the Parties that the Expert shall be English speaking and have experience in and an understanding of both the life reinsurance market and the [***] insurance market in Japan (and, in the event of a referral to the President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in the United Kingdom in accordance with this paragraph 3, the President shall be asked to take into account the intention of the Parties when selecting an Expert).

Subject to paragraph 1 and the other paragraphs of this Schedule 3, the process for resolution of the dispute shall be determined by the Expert, who shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

The Parties shall have the right to make representations to the Expert within the process for resolution of the dispute determined by the Expert.

The decision of the Expert shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties.

All costs incurred by the Expert shall be borne by the Parties in equal shares unless the Expert determines otherwise. If either Party fails to pay its share of the costs within seven (7) days of the relevant invoice being rendered to the Parties or either of them the other Party shall be entitled to pay the full amount of the costs incurred by the Expert and thereupon to recover one half thereof from the first-mentioned Party as a debt due and payable on demand.

Each Party shall, upon any request by the Expert, provide the Expert with such information as is within its possession or control and reasonably required by the Expert, provided that nothing in this paragraph 8 shall require a Party to provide information to the Expert where:

(a)

such provision would result in: (i) a breach of any Applicable Law or Data Protection Law; (ii) a breach of any binding agreement, including any confidentiality undertaking agreed by the relevant Party; and/or (iii) a breach of attorney-client privilege or any other legal privilege that would be impaired by its provision to the Expert and/or the Retrocessionaire; and/or

(b)

such information is commercially sensitive to a Retrocedant and it reasonably considers (acting in good faith) that its rationale for withholding such information is consistent with or similar to the rationale for the redaction and withholding of certain information from the due diligence materials made available to the Retrocessionaire on or prior to the date of this Agreement.

The Parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Expert will give his decision within thirty (30) days of the reference to him.

“(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this [Agreement], the [counterparty] acknowledges that:

(a)

[the subject segregated portfolio] has been established as a segregated portfolio of the SPC pursuant to the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands;

(b)

the rights, duties, obligations, liabilities, agreements, representations, undertakings, warranties and all other matters (whether in contract, tort, under statute or otherwise) relating to the SPC, acting on behalf of and for the account of [the subject segregated portfolio] under this [Agreement], are several and relate to the SPC acting on behalf of and for the account of [the subject segregated portfolio] only and not to the SPC for its own account or the SPC acting on behalf of and for the account of any other segregated portfolio or the segregated portfolios collectively and shall not be merged, joined or set-off against the SPC acting generally or the SPC acting on behalf of and for the account of any other segregated portfolio or the segregated portfolios collectively; and

(c)

any authority, power, discretion, consent, action or approval under this [Agreement] shall relate to the SPC acting on behalf of and for the account of [the subject segregated portfolio].

(2)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this [Agreement], [the counterparty] acknowledges that, in relation to any claim it may have against [the subject segregated portfolio]:

(a)

[the counterparty] shall have recourse only to the assets of [the subject segregated portfolio] (the "Recourse Assets") in respect of which the claim is made;

(b)

the Recourse Assets may be insufficient to meet the SPC's obligations to [the counterparty] under this [Agreement];

(c)

if the Recourse Assets have been liquidated and the net proceeds have been distributed, [the counterparty] shall not be entitled to take any further steps against the SPC to recover any sums due but still unpaid after such distribution and all claims in respect of such sums due but still unpaid shall be extinguished;

(3)

If [the counterparty] enters into any agreement, arrangement, dealing or transaction of any kind with any third party (including, without limitation, third party brokers) as agent of, or otherwise on behalf of the SPC on behalf of and for the account of [the subject segregated portfolio], [the counterparty] shall ensure that in any such agreement, arrangement, dealing or transaction the liability of the SPC on behalf of and for the account of [the subject segregated portfolio] to such third party is limited in terms which are substantially the same as those set out in clause [2] above.”
