BASIS OF REINSURANCE

Reinsurance under this agreement must be individual insurance.  The CEDING
COMPANY shall automatically reinsure the life insurance for the plan(s) as
stated in Schedule A and any additional benefits listed in Schedule B.

1.
REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE
 
A.
The individual risk must be a permanent resident of the United States or Canada.
       
B.
The individual risk must be underwritten by the CEDING COMPANY according to the
standard underwriting practices and guidelines as shown in Exhibit IA.  The
CEDING COMPANY shall immediately notify BMA of any changes in underwriting
practices or guidelines.  Any risk falling into a category of special
underwriting programs shall be excluded from this Agreement.
       
C.
Any risk offered on a facultative basis to BMA or any other reinsurer shall not
qualify for automatic reinsurance.
       
D.
The maximum issue age on any risk shall be age 70.  Issue ages over 70 must be
submitted facultatively.
       
E.
The mortality rating on any one risk must not exceed Table 8, or 300%, or its
equivalent on a flat extra premium basis.  Cases exceeding Table 8, or 300%, or
its equivalent must be submitted facultatively.
       
F.
The maximum amount of insurance issued and applied for in all companies on any
one risk shall not exceed the Jumbo limits as stated in Schedule A.
       
G.
On any risk, the CEDING COMPANY must retain the amounts of insurance as stated
in Exhibit I.
       
H.
The maximum amounts of insurance to be reinsured on any one life shall not
exceed the automatic binding limits as stated in Schedule A.
       
I.
The minimum amount of insurance to be ceded shall be $5,000.
     
2.
REQUIREMENTS FOR FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE

(1)
If the Requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are met but the CEDING COMPANY
prefers to apply for facultative reinsurance, or
   
(2)
If Requirements for Automatic Reinsurance are not met then the CEDING COMPANY
must submit to BMA all the underwriting documentation relating to the
insurability of the individual risk for facultative reinsurance.
         
B.
Plan of Insurance Not Listed in Schedule A:
         
On a Yearly Renewable Term treaty the CEDING COMPANY may submit an application
for facultative reinsurance on any plan(s).
         
On a Coinsurance treaty the Ceding Company cannot submit an application for
facultative reinsurance on plan(s) other than the plan(s) listed in Schedule A.

without either disability waiver of premium or accidental death or both.  Only
accidental death reinsurance may be submitted without an application for life
insurance.
       
D.
Copies of all underwriting papers relating to the insurability of the individual
risk must be sent to BMA for facultative reinsurance.  After BMA has examined
the underwriting papers, BMA will promptly notify the CEDING COMPANY of the
underwriting offer subject to additional requirements, the final underwriting
offer or declination.  Any final underwriting offer on the individual risk will
automatically terminate upon the earliest of:
   
(1)
The date BMA receives notice of a withdrawal/cancellation by the CEDING COMPANY,
   
(2)
120 days after the date on which the offer was made, or
   
(3)

shall not begin unless and until the CEDING COMPANY has accepted BMA’s final and
unconditional written offer on the application for facultative reinsurance.
   
3.
BMA’s liability for reinsurance on individual risks shall terminate when the
CEDING COMPANY’s liability terminates.
   
4.
As long as the original policy remains in full force, all paid-up additions and
accumulated dividends shall be the liability of the CEDING COMPANY.
   
5.
In no event shall reinsurance under this Agreement be in force unless the
insurance issued directly by the CEDING COMPANY is in force and is issued and
delivered in a jurisdiction in which the CEDING COMPANY is properly licensed.
   
6.
The payment of reinsurance premiums in accordance with this Agreement shall be a
condition precedent to the liability of BMA under reinsurance covered by this

provided the correction takes place promptly after the time the oversight or

ARTICLE VIII

REDUCTIONS, TERMINATIONS AND CHANGES
 

1.
A.
If in accordance with policy provisions the original policy is converted to
permanent life insurance, the life risk under the converted policy which exceeds
the amount of risk originally retained by the CEDING COMPANY shall continue to
be reinsured with BMA.
       
B.
If there is a replacement where full underwriting evidence is not required
according to the CEDING COMPANY regular underwriting rules, the life risk which
exceeds the amount of risk originally retained by the CEDING COMPANY shall
continue to be reinsured with BMA.
       
C.
If there is a replacement where full underwriting evidence is required by the
CEDING COMPANY, reinsurance may be ceded to BMA subject to a written agreement
between BMA and the CEDING COMPANY.
     
2.
If the amount of insurance under a policy or rider reinsured under the Agreement
increases and
       
A.
The increase is subject to new underwriting evidence, the provisions of Article
I shall apply to the increase in reinsurance.
       
B.
The increase is not subject to new underwriting evidence, BMA shall accept
automatically the increase in reinsurance but not to exceed the automatic
binding limit as stated in Schedule A.
     
3.
If the amount of insurance under a policy or rider reinsured under this
Agreement is increased or reduced, any increase or reduction in reinsurance for
the risk involved shall be effective on the effective date of the increase or
reduction in the amount of insurance.
     
4.
If any portion of the prior insurance retained by the CEDING COMPANY on an
individual life reduces or terminates, any reinsurance under this Agreement
based on the same life shall also be reduced or terminated.  The CEDING COMPANY
shall reduce its reinsurance by applying the retention limits which were in
effect at the time the policy was issued.  The “reinsurance adjustment due to
lapse or reduction of previous insurance” shall be effective on the same date as
the lapse or reduction of prior insurance.  The reinsurance to be terminated or
reduced shall be determined in chronological order by the date the risk was
first reinsured.  Two or more policies issued the same date shall be considered
one policy.
   
5.
If the insurance for a risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, BMA’s
percentage of the increased or reduced reinsurance shall be the same as BMA’s
percentage of initial reinsurance of the individual risk.
   
6.
If a risk reinsured under this Agreement is terminated, the reinsurance for that
risk shall be terminated as of the effective date of the termination.
   
7.
For facultative reinsurance, if the CEDING COMPANY reduces the mortality rating,
the reduction shall be subject to the facultative provisions of this Agreement
as stated in Article I, Section 2.
   
8.
BMA shall refund all unearned reinsurance premiums not including policy fees,
less applicable allowances, arising from reductions, terminations and changes as
described in this Article.

ARTICLE IX
 
INCREASE IN RETENTION
AND RECAPTURES
 
 
1.
If the CEDING COMPANY changes its retention limits, as listed in Exhibit I,
prompt written notice of the change shall be provided to BMA.
   
2.
The CEDING COMPANY shall have the option of recapturing the reinsurance under
this Agreement in the event the CEDING COMPANY increases its retention limit and
the policies have been in force the required length of time as stated in
Schedule A.  The CEDING COMPANY may exercise its option to recapture by giving
written notice to BMA within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the
increase in retention.  If the recapture option is not exercised within ninety
days (90) days after the effective date of the increase in retention the CEDING
COMPANY may choose to recapture at a later date.  In that case, the date of the
written notification to BMA shall determine the effective date the recapture
program shall begin.
   
3.
If the CEDING COMPANY exercises its option to recapture, then:
     
A.
The CEDING COMPANY shall reduce the reinsurance on all individual risks on which
it retained its maximum retention for the age and mortality rating that was in
effect at the time the reinsurance was ceded.
       
B.
The CEDING COMPANY shall increase its total amount of insurance on
the    individual risk up to its new retention by reducing the amount of
reinsurance.  If an individual risk is shared by more than one reinsurer, BMA’s
percentage of the reduced reinsurance shall be the same as BMA’s initial
percentage of reinsurance on the individual risk.
       
C.
The reduction of reinsurance shall become effective on the later of the
following dates:
         
(1)
The policy anniversary date immediately following the date the recapture program
is to begin as determined by paragraph 2. of this Article;
           
(2)
The number of years stated in Schedule A starting with the “policy date.”
         
D.
In the event the CEDING COMPANY overlooks any reduction in the amount of a
reinsurance policy because of an increase in the CEDING COMPANY’s retention, the
acceptance by BMA of reinsurance premiums under these circumstances shall not
constitute a liability on the part of BMA for such reinsurance.  BMA shall be
liable only for a refund of premiums.
     
4.
No recapture shall be permitted for reinsurance on an individual risk if (a) the
CEDING COMPANY retained less than its maximum retention for the age and
mortality rating in effect at the time the reinsurance was ceded to BMA, or if
(b) the CEDING COMPANY did not retain any of the individual risk.

ARTICLE X
 
REINSTATEMENT
 
 
If a policy reinsured under this Agreement lapses for nonpayment of premium or
is continued on the Reduced Paid-up or Extended Term Insurance basis, and is
reinstated in accordance with the terms of the policy and the CEDING COMPANY’s
rules, the reinsurance on such policy shall automatically be reinstated by BMA
upon written notice of such reinstatement.  The CEDING COMPANY shall pay BMA all
back reinsurance premiums.
 

 
ARTICLE XI

EXPENSE OF ORIGINAL POLICY

The CEDING COMPANY shall bear the expense of all medical examinations,
inspection fees, and other charges in connection with the issuance of the
insurance.

 
 
ARTICLE XII

CLAIMS
 
 
 
1.
The CEDING COMPANY shall give BMA prompt notice of any claim.  Copies of the
proofs obtained by the CEDING COMPANY together with a statement showing the
amount due or paid on such claim by the CEDING COMPANY shall be furnished to BMA
at the time payment is requested.
   
2.
BMA shall accept the decision of the CEDING COMPANY in settling the claim and
shall pay its portion to the CEDING COMPANY upon receipt of proof that the
CEDING COMPANY has paid the claimant.  It is agreed, however, that if a lesser
amount at risk is retained by the CEDING COMPANY than the amount ceded to BMA,
the CEDING COMPANY shall consult with BMA concerning its investigation and/or
payment of the claim, although the final decision shall be that of the CEDING
COMPANY.
   
3.
The CEDING COMPANY shall notify BMA of its intention to contest, compromise, or
litigate a claim involving reinsurance, and BMA shall pay its share of the
payment and specific claim expenses therein involved, unless it declines to be a
party to the contest, compromise, or litigation in which case it shall pay the
full amount of the reinsurance to the CEDING COMPANY.  “Claim expenses” shall be
deemed to mean only the reasonable legal and investigative expenses connected
with the litigation or settlement of claims.  “Claim expenses” shall not include
expenses incurred in connection with a dispute or contest arising out of
conflicting claims or entitlement to policy proceeds which the CEDING COMPANY
admits are payable or any routine claim administrative expenses, Home Office or
otherwise.
   
4.
In the event the amount of insurance provided by a policy or policies reinsured
hereunder is increased or reduced because of a misstatement of age or sex
established after the death of the insured, BMA shall share in the increase or
reduction in the proportion that the net liability of BMA bore to the sum of the
retained net liability of the CEDING COMPANY and the net liability of other
reinsurers immediately prior to such increase or reduction.  The reinsurance
with BMA shall be written from commencement on the basis of the adjusted amounts
using premiums and reserves at the correct ages and sex.  The adjustment for the
difference in premiums shall be made without interest.
   
5.
It is understood and agreed that the payment of a death claim by BMA shall be
made in one sum regardless of the mode of settlement under the policy of the
CEDING COMPANY.
   
6.
In no event shall BMA have any liability for any Extra-Contractual damages which
are assessed against the CEDING COMPANY as a result of acts, omissions or course
of conduct committed by the CEDING COMPANY or its agents, other than a good
faith decision to deny claim liability, in connection with insurance reinsured
under this Agreement.  It is recognized that there may be special circumstances
involved which indicate that BMA should participate in certain assessed
damages.  These circumstances are not amendable to advance specific definition,
but could include those situations in which BMA was an active party in the act,
omission or course of conduct which ultimately results in the assessment of such
damages.  The extent of such participation will be determined on a good faith
assessment of culpability in each case, but all factors being equal, the
division of any such assessment will generally be in the proportion of net
liability borne by each party.
   
7.
If a claim is approved for disability waiver of premium insurance reinsured
under this Agreement, the CEDING COMPANY shall continue to pay reinsurance
premiums to BMA.  BMA shall reimburse the CEDING COMPANY BMA’s share of the
annual liability.

 
ARTICLE XIII
 
TAX CREDITS

 
In jurisdictions which impose premium taxes on the CEDING COMPANY without
deduction for reinsurance, BMA shall reimburse the CEDING COMPANY for taxes paid
on the amount of the reinsurance premiums on the basis shown in Schedule A,
unless BMA itself is required to pay a direct tax on such reinsurance premiums.

ARTICLE XIV

DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS TAX

The CEDING COMPANY and BMA elect under Regulation 1.848-2(g) (8) to compute
“specified policy acquisition expense”, as defined in section 848(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code, in the following manner:

The party with net positive consideration as determined under Reg. 1.848-2(f)
and Reg. 1.848-3 shall compute specified policy acquisition expenses without
regard to the general deductions limitation of section 848(c)(1) for each
taxable year.

The parties will exchange information pertaining to the aggregate amount of net
consideration as determined under Regs. 1.848-2(f) and 1.848-3, for all
reinsurance agreements in force between them, to insure consistency for the
purposes of computing specified policy acquisition expenses.  BMA shall provide
the CEDING COMPANY with the amount of such net consideration for each taxable
year no later than May 1 following the end of such year.  The CEDING COMPANY
shall advise BMA if it disagrees with the amounts provided, and the parties
agree to amicably resolve any difference.  The amounts provided by BMA shall be
presumed correct if it does not receive a response from the CEDING COMPANY by
May 31.

BMA represents and warrants that it is subject to U.S. taxation under Subchapter
L of the Internal Revenue Code.

ARTICLE XV

INSPECTION OF RECORDS

BMA shall have the right, at any reasonable time, to inspect at the office of
the CEDING COMPANY, all books and documents which relate to reinsurance under
this Agreement.
 

ARTICLE XVI

INSOLVENCY
 
 
1.
In the event of insolvency of the CEDING COMPANY, all reinsurance shall be
payable by BMA directly to the CEDING COMPANY or its liquidator, receiver, or
statutory successor, on the basis of the liability of the CEDING COMPANY under
the policy or policies reinsured, without diminution because of the insolvency
of the CEDING COMPANY.
   
2.
It is agreed that the liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor of the
insolvent CEDING COMPANY shall give written notice to BMA of the pending of a
claim against the insolvent CEDING COMPANY on any policy reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceedings.  During
the pendency of any such claim BMA may investigate such claim and interpose, in
the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses
which BMA may deem available to the CEDING COMPANY or its liquidator, receiver,
or statutory successor.  The expense thus incurred by BMA shall be chargeable,
subject to court approval, against the insolvent CEDING COMPANY as part of the
expense of liquidation to the extent of proportionate share of the benefit which
may accrue to the CEDING COMPANY solely as a result of the defense undertaken by
BMA.

ARBITRATION

 
 
1.
It is the intention of the CEDING COMPANY and BMA that the customs and practices
of the insurance and reinsurance industry shall be given full effect in the
operation and interpretation of this Agreement.  The parties agree to act in all
things with the highest good faith.  However, if BMA and the CEDING COMPANY
cannot mutually resolve a dispute or claim which arises out of or relates to
this agreement, the dispute or claim shall be settled through arbitration.

companies other than the parties to this agreement or their subsidiaries.  Each
of the parties to this agreement shall appoint one of the arbitrators and these

appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the other party to this
agreement has given notice of the arbitrator appointment, the American
Arbitration Association shall appoint an arbitrator for the party to this
Agreement that has failed to do so.  Should the two arbitrators be unable to
agree on the choice of the third, then the appointment of this arbitrator is
left to the American Arbitration Association.
   
4.
Except for the appointment of arbitrators in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3 of this Article, arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
