SUPPLEMENT TO ARTICLE XII - LETTER OF CREDIT

Effective December 1, 2001, The following shall be added to the end of Article XII - “Letter of Credit”

We agree to allow you to substitute Trust funds, in accordance with a mutually agreed upon Trust Agreement, for the Letter of Credit obligations under this Agreement, provided We have rendered written approval in advance to such substitution. You will seek approval to the substitution of funds, whether Trust funds for LOC obligations or LOC obligations for Trust funds, with at least 30 days notice before such substitution. We shall negotiate any requested transfers in good faith and shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold such approval.

Whereas we enter into a Trust Agreement, both parties hereby agree as follows:

You shall enter into a Trust Agreement to establish a trust account securing the amounts recoverable under this reinsurance Agreement. You will deposit into the trust on or before a date agreed to by both parties assets that cause the market value of the trust to meet or exceed the amounts recoverable applicable to this Agreement, as provided by us. In addition, as provided by the Trust Agreement, You shall make future additional deposits into the trust so as to cause the market value of the trust assets to meet or exceed the amounts recoverable under this reinsurance Agreement.

The assets deposited in the trust account shall be valued according to their current fair market value, and shall consist of only those instruments detailed within the Trust Agreement, provided that such investments are issued by an institution that is not a parent, subsidiary, or an affiliate of either You or Us.

You shall, prior to depositing assets with the Trustee, execute assignments, endorsements in blank, or transfer legal title to the Trustee of all shares, obligations or any other assets requiring assignments, in order that we may, whenever necessary, negotiate any such assets without consent or signature from you or any other entity.

All settlements of account between both parties shall be made in cash or its equivalent.

Both parties agree that the assets in the trust account may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, and be utilized and applied by Us or any successor by operation of law of Us including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator, for the following purposes:

To reimburse Us for Your share of premiums returned to the owners of policies reinsured under this Agreement on account of cancellation of such policies;

ii.

To reimburse Us for Your share of benefits or losses paid by Us under the terms and provisions of the policies reinsured under this Agreement;

iii.

To fund an account with Us in an amount at least equal to the deduction for reinsurance ceded from the liabilities for policies ceded under this Agreement. Such amount shall include, but not be limited to, amounts for policy reserves, reserves for claims and losses incurred (including losses incurred but not reported), and reserves for loss adjustment expenses; and

iv.

To pay any other amounts We claim are due under this Agreement.

All of the foregoing will be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of either party.

We agree to return to you any amounts withdrawn which are in excess of the actual amounts required for i, ii, and iii above, or in the case of iv, such amounts that are in excess of the amounts ultimately determined to be due under this Agreement. In addition, We shall make interest payments to You on amounts held pursuant to item (iii) above. The rate of interest charged will be equal to the Prime Rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal. The Prime Rate shall be determined on the first business day of each month in which interest is payable.

You shall have the right to seek approval from Us to withdraw from the trust account all or any part of the assets contained therein and transfer such assets to you, provided that after such withdrawal and transfer, the market value of the trust account is no less than one hundred and two percent (102%) of the amounts recoverable.

Thirty days prior to the end of each calendar quarter, We will provide You the information necessary for You to maintain the trust with sufficient balance to support such items listed in (e), above. The cost for establishing and maintaining the trust will be borne by You.

II.

All provisions of the Reinsurance Agreement not specifically modified herein shall remain unchanged.

IN WITNESS of the above, both parties have executed this Amendment in duplicate as follows:

ARTICLE I - SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT

Parties to the Agreement

The parties to this Agreement are Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and Phoenix Life and Annuity Company (collectively referred to as ceding company, we, us and our) and Annuity and Life Reassurance, LTD (as reinsurer referred to as you and your). The parties mutually agree to transact reinsurance according to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is for indemnity reinsurance and you and we are the only two parties to the Agreement. There will be no right or legal relationship whatsoever created by this Agreement in any other person having an interest of any kind in policies that are reinsured under this Agreement.

Effective Date of the Agreement

This Agreement will go into effect at 12:00 A.M., March 3, 2000, and will cover policies effective on and after that date.

Entire Agreement

The text of this Agreement and all Exhibits, Schedules and Amendments constitute the entire agreement between the parties. There are no other understandings or agreements between us regarding the policies reinsured other than as expressed in this Agreement.

Modification of the Agreement

The parties may modify this Agreement, only by means of a written amendment to this Agreement which has been signed by all parties.

Duration of the Agreement

The duration of this Agreement will be unlimited. However, either party may terminate the Agreement for new issues at any time by giving the other ninety days prior written notice. You will continue to accept new reinsurance during the ninety-day period.

Existing reinsurance will not be affected by the termination of this Agreement for new reinsurance. Existing reinsurance will remain in force until the termination or expiry of the policy on which reinsurance is based, as long as we continue to pay reinsurance premiums as shown in Article V (Reinsurance Premium Rates and Payment). However, you will not be held liable for any claims or premium refunds which are not reported to you within one hundred eighty days following the termination or expiry of the last cession reinsured under this Agreement.

- 1 -

ARTICLE II - REINSURANCE COVERAGE

Automatic Reinsurance

You will accept automatically reinsurance of death benefits on our individually underwritten ordinary life policies on any permanent resident of the United States or Canada, in agreement with the provisions and limitations shown in Exhibit A (Reinsurance Coverage).

You will also accept automatically reinsurance of riders and supplementary benefits written with the covered death benefits, but only to the extent that we specifically list the riders and supplementary benefits in Exhibit A, Part I.

We have the right to modify our quota share percentage shown in Exhibit A, Part II at any time. If our quota share percentage is reduced as a result of the modification, we will notify you in writing before you are required to reinsure the increase in your quota share percentage caused by our reduced quota share percentage. We will prepare a treaty amendment which both parties will sign as evidence of your agreement to the reduction in our quota share percentage and the increase in your quota share percentage.

You have the right to amend the Automatic Acceptance Limits shown in Exhibit A, Part III if we modify our quota share percentage. You also may reserve the right to modify the Automatic Acceptance Limits if we elect to participate in another arrangement(s) to secure additional automatic binding capacity.

Facultative Reinsurance

If we wish to submit a risk not covered automatically under this Agreement, or if we wish your advice on any application, we may submit and you will consider the risk on a facultative basis.

Basis of Reinsurance

Reinsurance under this Agreement will be on a Coinsurance basis for the portion of the original policy that is reinsured with you.

Riders or supplementary benefits ceded with death benefits will be reinsured as shown in Exhibit C.

- 2 -

ARTICLE III - PROCEDURES

Automatic Reinsurance

Individual notification for the placement of automatic reinsurance will not be necessary. Subject to Article V (Reinsurance Premium Rates and Payments) and Exhibit B (Reinsurance Administration), new business or changes to existing reinsurance will be shown on our periodic billing report.

Facultative Reinsurance

When we wish to submit a risk for facultative consideration, we will send you a reinsurance application form along with copies of all the information we have regarding the insurability of the risk. You will review the information and notify us of your decision promptly.

After you have given us your unconditional offer to reinsure a risk, we will confirm in writing our acceptance of your offer and the placement of the reinsurance. Our confirmation must be sent on or before the expiration date you specify in your offer to reinsure.

We may request an extension of the expiration period shown in your offer, by written request. If you agree, you will give us written confirmation of the extension. Any such extension will terminate automatically, if not previously accepted by us, on the expiration date shown on the extension.

Policy Expenses

We will bear the expenses of all medical examinations, inspection fees and other charges incurred in connection with reinstatements or reentries.

Reference Materials

Upon request we will provide you with any reference materials which you may require for proper administration of cessions under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV - LIABILITY

Automatic Reinsurance

Your liability for cessions ceded automatically under this Agreement will begin and end simultaneously with our liability for the policy on which reinsurance is based, subject to the Agreement effective date shown in Article I (Scope of the Agreement), Section 2.

- 3 -

ARTICLE IV - LIABILITY (Continued)

Facultative Reinsurance

Your liability for facultative reinsurance which you offer and which we accept will begin and end simultaneously with our liability for the policy on which reinsurance is based.

Continuation of Liability

Continuation of your liability is conditioned on our payment of reinsurance premiums as provided in Article V (Reinsurance Premium Rates and Payments) and is subject to Article VI (Changes to the Reinsurance) and Article VII (Recapture).

Temporary Insurance Receipt Liability

Your liability for losses under the terms of a Temporary Insurance Receipt is shown in Exhibit D (Temporary Insurance Receipt Liability).

ARTICLE V - REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES AND PAYMENTS

Reinsurance Rates

Reinsurance premium rates that we will pay you for business reinsured under this Agreement are based on our current gross premiums less allowances. Both the premiums and the allowances are shown in Exhibit C.

Procedures and details of reinsurance rate calculation for any benefits or riders ceded under this Agreement are shown in Exhibit C.

All financial transactions under this Agreement will be in United States dollars, unless we mutually agree in writing to use other currencies. Specifications of the currencies and details of currency conversion procedures will be shown in Exhibit C if necessary.

- 4 -

ARTICLE V - REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES AND PAYMENTS (Continued)

Payments

We will self-administer the periodic reporting of our statements of account and payment of balances due to you as shown in Exhibit B.

Within thirty days after the close of each reporting period, we will send you a statement of account for that period along with payment of the premium due. If the statement of account shows a net balance due us, you will remit that amount to us within thirty days of your receipt of the statement of account.

Our timely payment of reinsurance premiums is a condition precedent to your continued liability. If we have not paid the balance due you by the thirty-first day following the close of the reporting period, you have the right to give us thirty days’ written notice of your intention to terminate the reinsurance on which the balance is due and unpaid. At the end of this thirty-day period, your liability will automatically terminate for all reinsurance on which balances remain due and unpaid, (the “termination date”). Even though you have terminated the reinsurance, we will continue to be liable for the payment of unpaid premium balances through the termination date, along with interest charges calculated from the due date shown above to the date of payment. The interest rate payable will be the same that we charge for delinquent premiums on our individual life insurance policies.

We may reinstate reinsurance terminated for non-payment of premium at any time within sixty days of the termination date, by paying you all premium and interest charged in full. However, you will have no liability for claims incurred between the termination date and the reinstatement date.

Tax Reimbursements

Premium Tax

Details of any reimbursement of premium taxes that we pay on behalf of reinsurance payments to you are shown in Exhibit C, Section VII (Premium Taxes).

ARTICLE V - REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES AND PAYMENTS (Continued)

Tax Reimbursements (Continued)

Provision for Bermuda Domiciled Company

All applicable Federal Excise Taxes assessed to, and paid by, us relative to you portion of the reinsurance risks under this Agreement will be reimbursed by you to us.

The impact of the timing of the DAC Tax payments made by us as a result of ANNUITY & LIFE RE being a BERMUDA domiciled reinsurer and not a U.S. domiciled reinsurer will be paid by you. The approach used is as follows:

Proxy DAC Tax payments will be made between you and us as a part of the regular periodic reporting. The payments, which will be calculated according to the formulas shown below, are intended to economically mirror a reinsurance transaction between CEDING COMPANY and a United States domiciled reinsurance company.

Definitions:

NC(Y) = Net Consideration in calendar year Y

AC(Y) = Amount Capitalized in calendar year Y

AMORT(Y) = Amount Amortized in calendar year Y

DAC(Y) = Proxy DAC Tax Payment in calendar year Y

Net Consideration in calendar year Y, NC(Y), equals the Net Cash Flow exclusive of the Proxy DAC Tax Payment in calendar year Y and equals Reinsurance Premiums - Reinsurance Allowances - Claim Recoverables - Excise Tax Reimbursement

Amount Capitalized in calendar year Y, AC(Y), equals

.077 times NC(Y)

Amount Amortized in calendar year Y, AMORT(Y), equals

.05 times AC(Y) + .10 times AC(Y-l) + .10 times AC(Y-2) + . . . +

.10 times AC(Y-8) + .10 times AC(Y-9) + .05 times AC(Y-10)

Proxy DAC Tax Payment for calendar year Y, DAC(Y), equals

.35 times ( AC(Y) minus AMORT(Y) )

If DAC(Y) is positive, it is payable to CEDING COMPANY.

If DAC (Y) is negative, it is payable to ANNUITY & LIFE RE.

ARTICLE V - REINSURANCE PREMIUM RATES AND PAYMENTS (Continued)

Experience Refund

Details of any Experience Refund payable to us will be shown in Exhibit C, Section X (Experience Refund).

ARTICLE VI - CHANGES TO THE REINSURANCE

Errors and Oversights

If either party fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement because of an unintentional oversight or misunderstanding, the status of this Agreement will not be changed. The parties will be restored to the position they would have occupied had no such oversight nor misunderstanding occurred.

Misstatement of Age or Sex

If the misstatement of the age or sex of a reinsured life causes an increase or reduction in the amount of insurance in the policy, the parties will share in the change in proportion to the original liabilities as of the time the policy was issued.

Changes to the Policy

All changes - If any change is made to the policy, the reinsurance will change accordingly. We will notify you of the change and the appropriate premium adjustment on our periodic statement of account.

Increases - If the amount at risk increases because of a change in the policy, we will need your approval only if the increase causes the amount reinsured to exceed the Automatic Acceptance Limits shown in Exhibit A, Part III. If your approval is necessary, we will send you copies of all papers relating to the change in coverage.

Extended Term and Reduced Paid-Up Insurance - If any policy reinsured under this Agreement converts to Extended Term Insurance or Reduced Paid-Up Insurance, the net amount at risk reinsured will be adjusted as appropriate and reinsurance will be continued in accordance with the continuing provisions of the underlying policy. Reinsurance payments for the adjusted policy will be calculated on the basis of the original issue age of the insured and the duration of the original policy at the time the adjustment became effective, i.e. point-in-scale basis.

- 7 -

ARTICLE VI - CHANGES TO THE REINSURANCE (Continued)

Reductions, Terminations and Reinstatements

If any part of the coverage on a life reinsured under this Agreement is reduced or terminated, the amount reinsured will also be reduced or terminated to the extent that we will continue to maintain our appropriate quota share percentage as shown in Exhibit A. We will not be required to assume amounts in excess of the quota share percentage that was in force when the affected policy or policies were issued.

If a policy reinsured under this Agreement is lapsed or terminated, the reinsurance of such policy will also terminate. If a policy automatically reinsured lapses and is reinstated in accordance with our standard rules and procedures, reinsurance for the amount at risk effective at the time of the lapse will be reinstated automatically at the date of reinstatement of the policy. We will notify you of the reinstatement on our periodic statement of account. We will send you copies of reinstatement papers only upon request.

We have the authority to reinstate a policy reinsured under this Agreement on a facultative basis without your prior approval when:

we have kept our full quota share percentage on the policy; and

the reinsured amount falls within the automatic acceptance limits shown in Exhibit A.

Otherwise, we will need your prior review and approval for reinstatement of any facultative reinsurance. We will send you prompt written notice of our intention to reinstate the policy along with copies of the reinstatement papers required by our standard rules and procedures. The reinsurance will be reinstated at the same time as the policy, subject to your written approval of the reinstatement.

We will notify you of all reinstatements on our periodic statement of account and we will pay all reinsurance payments due from the date of reinstatement to the date of the current statement of account, including a proportionate share of any interest collected. Thereafter, reinsurance payments will be in accordance with Article V (Reinsurance Premium Rates and Payments).

- 8 -

ARTICLE VII - RECAPTURE

Basis of Recapture

If we increase our quota share percentage shown in Exhibit A, we may make a corresponding reduction in eligible reinsurance cessions. Policies are eligible for recapture if:

we have maintained the stated quota share percentage limit shown in Exhibit A. Policies on which we retained a less than our quota share percentage will not be eligible for recapture unless we are partially or fully retained on the insured life in a prior policy;

the policy has been in force under this Agreement for the Recapture Period shown in Exhibit C, Section VIII. The recapture period will always be measured from the original policy issue date.

Method of Recapture

If we give you written notice of our intention to recapture due to an increase in our quota share percentage, we will do so within ninety days of the effective date of our quota share percentage increase. However, the prior sentence not withstanding, we may elect to recapture at a later date, provided we give you written notice before we begin the recapture.

When we have given you written notice of our intent to recapture, and the date that we will begin the process of recapture:

All eligible policies will be recaptured;

The effective date of the recapture will be the next anniversary date of each eligible policy;

Reinsurance on each eligible policy will be reduced by an amount that will increase our quota share percentage to the current limit set forth in Exhibit A. If we increase our stated quota share percentage shown in Exhibit A, the percentage of the risk reinsured will reduce proportionately. If reinsurance was placed with more than one reinsurer, each reinsurer’s percentage will be reduced in the same proportion that each reinsurer’s original percentage bore to the total percentage reinsured.

- 9 -

ARTICLE VII - RECAPTURE

Method of Recapture

If we omit or overlook the recapture of any eligible policy or policies, your acceptance of reinsurance premiums after the date the recapture would have taken place will not cause you to be liable for the amount of the risk that would have been recaptured. You will be liable only to refund any such reinsurance premiums received, without interest.

Quota share percentage increases due to our purchase by or purchase of another company, or our merger, assumption or any other affiliation with another company shall not be recognized for recapturing purposes under this article for a period of no less than five years from the effective date of such merger or acquisition.

ARTICLE VIII - CLAIMS

Notice of Claim

Claims will be reported and administered on a bulk basis. We will give you notification of all incurred and settled claims on our monthly statement of account. Claim payments will be applied against premium payments. If the amount of claim payment due exceeds the amount of premium payment due you, you will remit the balance due us within thirty days of your receipt of the statement of account.

Settlement of Claims

You will accept our good faith decision in settling any claim except as specified in this Article.

You will be consulted and provided with claim documentation for all contestable claims with face amounts in excess of $1,000,000; but only where we elect to deny, rescind or reduce the claim payment for contestable claims with face amounts of $1,000,000 and under. We will provide notification on our monthly claims reports for non-contestable claims and for rescissions of policies where the insured is still alive. However, your consultation rights will not impair our freedom to determine the proper action on and settlement of the claim.

Our claim settlements will be administered according to the standard procedures we apply to all claims, whether reinsured or not.

- 10 -

ARTICLE VII - CLAIMS (Continued)

Claim Expenses

Except as provided in Article VIII, Section 4, you will pay your proportionate share of the following expenses arising out of the settlement or litigation of a claim, providing that the expenses are reasonable:

investigative expenses;

attorneys’ fees;

penalties and interest imposed automatically by statute and rising solely out of a judgement rendered against us in a suit for policy benefits;

interest paid to the claimant on death benefit proceeds according to our practices and either at the same rate that we use, or at the rate prescribed by state law.

Your share of claim expenses will be in the same proportion that your original liability bears to our original liability.

We will be responsible for payment of the following claim expenses:

routine administrative expenses for the home office or elsewhere, including our employees’ salaries;

expenses incurred in connection with any dispute or contest arising out of a conflict in claims of entitlement to policy proceeds or benefits which we admit are payable.

Contested Claims

We will promptly notify you in writing by mail, e-mail or facsimile, if we intend to contest, compromise or litigate a claim covered by this Agreement. If you prefer not to participate in the contest, you will notify us of your decision within fifteen days of your receipt of all documents requested, and you will immediately pay us the full amount of reinsurance due. Once you have paid your reinsurance liability, you will not be liable for any legal and/or investigative expenses and you will have no further liability for expenses associated with the contest, compromise or litigation, as further examined in this Article.

When you elect to participate in a contest, compromise or litigation involving reinsurance, we will give you prompt notice of the beginning of any legal proceedings involving the contested policy. We will promptly furnish you with copies of all documents pertaining to a lawsuit or notice of intent to file a lawsuit by any of the claimants or parties to the policy.

You will share in the payment of legal or investigative expenses relating to a contested claim in the same proportion as your liability bears to our liability.

- 11 -

ARTICLE VIII - CLAIMS (Continued)

Contested Claims (continued)

If our contest, compromise or litigation results in a reduction in the liability of the contested policy, you will share in the reduction in the same proportion that the amount of reinsurance bore to the amount payable under the terms of the policy on the date of death of the insured.

Extra Contractual Damages

You will not held be liable for nor will you pay any extra-contractual damages, including but not limited to consequential, compensatory (other than policy benefits), exemplary or punitive damages which are awarded against us or which we pay voluntarily, in settlement of a dispute or claim where damages were awarded as the result of any direct or indirect act, omission or course of conduct undertaken by us, our agents or representatives, in connection with any aspect of the policies reinsured under this Agreement.

You recognize that special circumstances may arise in which you should participate to the extent permitted by law in certain assessed damages. These circumstances are difficult to describe or define in advance but could include those situations in which you were an active party in the act, omission or course of conduct which ultimately resulted in the assessment of the damages. The extent of your participation is dependent upon a good-faith assessment of the relative responsibility for the acts, omissions or conduct in each case; but all factors being equal, the division of any such assessment will generally be in the same proportion of the net liability accepted by each party. If such circumstances arise, we will seek your opinion before we proceed to include you in participation of these damages.

ARTICLE IX - ARBITRATION

Basis for Arbitration

The parties to this Agreement understand and agree that the wording and interpretation of this Agreement is based on the usual customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry. While the parties agree to act in good faith in our dealings with each other, it is understood and recognized that situations may arise in which agreement cannot be reached.

In the event that the parties cannot resolve any dispute to their mutual satisfaction, the dispute will first be subject to good-faith negotiation as described below in an attempt to resolve the dispute without the need to institute formal arbitration proceedings.

- 12 -

ARTICLE IX - ARBITRATION (Continued)

Negotiation

Within ten days after one of the parties has given the other the first written notification of the specific dispute, each party will appoint a designated officer to attempt to resolve the dispute. The officers will meet at a mutually agreeable location as early 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 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.

If the officers cannot resolve the dispute within thirty days of their first meeting, it is agreed that the dispute will be submitted to formal arbitration. However, the parties may agree in writing to extend the negotiation period.

Arbitration Proceedings

No later than fifteen days after the final negotiation meeting, the officers taking part in the negotiation will give written confirmation that they are unable to resolve the dispute and that they recommend establishment of formal arbitration.

An arbitration panel consisting of three past or present officers of life insurance or reinsurance companies not affiliated with any of the parties in any way will settle the dispute. The party seeking arbitration will appoint one arbitrator and give notice of such appointment to the other party, who must appoint its arbitrator within 30 days of receiving such notice. If the notified party does not select its arbitrator by the expiration of the 30 days, the party giving notice may appoint a second arbitrator. The two arbitrators will select a third. If the two arbitrators cannot agree on the choice of a third, the choice will be made by the Chairman of the American Arbitration Association.

The arbitration proceedings will be conducted according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association which are in effect at the time the arbitration begins.

The arbitration will take place in Hartford, Connecticut unless mutually agreed otherwise.

- 13 -

ARTICLE IX - ARBITRATION (Continued)

Arbitration Proceedings (continued)

Within sixty days after the beginning of the arbitration proceedings the arbitrators will issue a written decision on the dispute and a statement of any award to be paid as a result. The decision will be based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as the usual customs and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry, rather than on strict interpretation of the law. The decision will be final and binding and there will be no further appeal, except that either party may petition any court having jurisdiction regarding the award rendered by the arbitrators.

The parties may agree to extend the appointment or the arbitrators periods set forth in this Article. Unless otherwise decided by the arbitrators, the parties will share equally in all expenses resulting from the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, except that each party will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees.

ARTICLE X - INSOLVENCY

If we are judged insolvent, you will pay all reinsurance under this Agreement directly to us, our liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of your liability under the policy or policies reinsured without decrease because of our insolvency. It is understood, however, that in the event of our insolvency the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor will give you written notice of a pending claim on a policy reinsured within a reasonable time after the claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings. While the claim is pending, you may investigate and interpose at your own expense in the proceedings where the claim is to be adjudicated, any defense which you may deem available to us, our liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. It is further understood that the expense you incur will be chargeable, subject to court approval, against us as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to us solely as a result of the defense you have undertaken. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defense to the claim, the expenses will be apportioned in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreement as though we had incurred the expense.

If you are judged insolvent, or if you fail to make any payment when due, you will be considered in default under this Agreement. At our option and with prior written notice we may terminate your rights and duties under this Agreement, in which case we will be under no obligation to make future premium payments to you, your liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. However, you, your liquidator, receiver or statutory successor will be liable for any claim payments or refunds of premiums which remain outstanding.

ARTICLE XI - INSPECTION OF RECORDS

Inspection of Records

Either party will have the right at any reasonable time to inspect the original papers, records, books, files or other documents relating directly or indirectly to the reinsurance coverage under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII - LETTER OF CREDIT

In the event that we are not permitted by any state, territory or the District of Columbia to take reserve credit on our Annual Statement for all or a part of the coverage we cede to you, then unless you have arranged to secure your own obligation under this Agreement in some other manner which meets the approval of that regulatory authority, you are obligated to promptly obtain a clean, unconditional, irrevocable Letter of Credit for our benefit. The Letter of Credit will be issued by a qualified financial institution within the meaning of applicable state law in an amount equal to the reserves ceded to you and will be in a form we find acceptable. You will bear the cost of the Letter of Credit.

It is understood that we may draw on the Letter of Credit at any time, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement.

We undertake to use and apply any amount which we may draw upon the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement under which the Letter of Credit is held, and only for the following purposes:

To reimburse us for your share of premiums returned to the owners of policies reinsured under this Agreement on account of cancellations of such policies;

To reimburse us for your share of benefits or losses paid by us under the terms and provisions of the policies reinsured under this Agreement;

To fund an account with us in an amount at least equal to the deduction, for reinsurance ceded, from our liabilities for policies ceded under this Agreement. Such amount shall include, but not be limited to, amounts for policy reserves, reserves for claims and losses incurred (including losses incurred but not reported), loss adjustment expenses, and unearned premiums;

To pay any other amounts that we claim are due under this Agreement.

- 15 -

ARTICLE XII - LETTER OF CREDIT (Continued)

We agree to return to you any amounts drawn on Letters of Credit which are in excess of the actual amounts required for (a), (b), or (c) above, or in the case of (d) above, such amounts as are in excess of the amounts ultimately determined to be due under the Agreement. In addition, we shall make interest payments to you on amounts held pursuant to (c) above. The rate of interest charged will be equal to the rate listed in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release, as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, for the monthly average of Corporate Bonds, Moody’s seasoned Aaa (the “Interest Rate”).

The amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit will be applied without diminution because of the insolvency of either party. The financial institution shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of withdrawals we make or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to see that withdrawals are made only upon the order of our properly authorized representatives.

We agree to allow you to substitute Trust funds, in accordance with mutually agreed upon Trust Provisions and a Trust Agreement, for the Letter of Credit obligations under this Agreement, provided we have rendered written approval in advance to such substitution. You will seek our approval by providing us with at least 30 days notice before substitution. We shall negotiate any transfers in good faith and shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold such approval.

ARTICLE XIII - CONFIDENTIALITY

You will hold in trust for us and will not disclose or cause to be disclosed to any non-party to this Agreement any of our confidential information. Confidential information is information which relates to policy owner data, experience information (including but not limited to mortality and/or lapse information), risk selection guidelines, any and all information contained in our current and future underwriting manuals, trade secrets, research, products and business affairs, but does not include:

Information which is generally known or easily ascertainable by non-parties of ordinary skill; and

Information acquired from non-parties who have no confidential commitment to either party to this Agreement.

You will take all necessary and appropriate measures to ensure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this Article.
