Definitions


 

















 


SECTION 1
– ACCUMULATION FUND – ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION


 


1.1     POLICY PAYMENTS.  The Policyholder agrees to pay to GLAIC in
the currency specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule (the “Specified
Currency”), and by wire transfer, the Net Deposit Amount on the Deposit Date.  Regardless of the Effective Date of the
Policy or the Deposit Date specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, this
Policy shall become effective only upon the receipt by GLAIC, or its designee,
of the Net Deposit Amount.


 


1.2     ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ACCUMULATION FUND.  Upon the receipt by GLAIC of the Net Deposit
Amount, GLAIC will establish an Accumulation Fund.  The Accumulation Fund is a general account
record that reflects the Fund Balance under this Policy.  GLAIC is neither a trustee nor a fiduciary
with respect to the Accumulation Fund. 
The Net Deposit Amount is allocated to GLAIC’s general account for
investment but all funds received under this Policy will become the exclusive
property of GLAIC without any duty or requirement for segregation or separate
investment.  The Fund Balance is not
affected by the investment results of the assets held in the general account.


 


1.3     INTEREST ON THE ACCUMULATION FUND.  The Guaranteed Rate for the Accumulation Fund
is effective until the Fund Balance is paid in full to the Policyholder.  Interest is credited based upon the
methodology specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule.


 


1.4     VALUE OF THE ACCUMULATION FUND.  The Fund Balance on any given day equals the Deposit
Amount plus interest, if any, credited thereon at the Guaranteed Rate, less any
payments made under Section 2 of the Policy.


 


SECTION 2
– PAYMENTS FROM THE ACCUMULATION FUND


 


2.1     PERIODIC PAYMENTS. 
GLAIC will pay the Policyholder the amounts specified in the Accumulation
Fund Schedule as Periodic Payouts, including the Maturity Payout, on the dates specified
(subject to Section 4.7).  Such
payment amounts are adjusted to reflect any other payment payable under this Section of
the Policy.  The interest factor used in
making such adjustments is the Guaranteed Rate.


 


2.2     OPTIONAL REPAYMENT.  If so indicated in the Accumulation Fund
Schedule, GLAIC shall pay to the Policyholder the amount the Policyholder needs
to redeem or repay any notes or other instruments issued by the Policyholder
and backed by this Policy, pursuant to any limited right of redemption or
repayment contained in such note or instrument. 
GLAIC may require reasonable evidence that the redemption or repayment
request satisfies all the terms and conditions described in the prospectus,
prospectus supplement and/or pricing supplement applicable to such note or
other instrument.  Additional
restrictions, if any, on the Policyholder’s reimbursement rights under this Section may
be included in the Accumulation Fund Schedule.


 


1

















 


2.3     OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.  If so indicated in the Accumulation Fund
Schedule, GLAIC may elect to
pay the Policyholder all or any part of the Fund Balance on the Call Dates
specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule. 
Unless otherwise provided in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC will
give the Policyholder at least thirty-five (35) calendar days and no more than
seventy-five (75) calendar days notice of its intent to make such
pre-payment.  No adjustment will be made
to the amount of such payment, unless such adjustment is specifically provided
for in the Accumulation Fund Schedule.


 


2.4     MATURITY PAYMENTS.  GLAIC shall pay the Policyholder the Fund
Balance on the Maturity Date.


 


2.5     FORM OF PAYMENT.  All payments GLAIC makes to the Policyholder
will be made in the Specified Currency, by wire transfer, unless otherwise
agreed in writing by the parties hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the
Accumulation Fund Schedule, all payments GLAIC makes will be net of any
applicable withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future
taxes, duties, levies, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever
nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any governmental authority having
the power to tax.  Unless otherwise
specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, such net payments fully satisfy
GLAIC’s obligation to the Policyholder with respect to the full amount due. 


 


SECTION 3 –
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT


 


3.1     AUTOMATIC TERMINATION/ACCELERATION.  This Policy terminates with respect to the Accumulation
Fund when the Fund Balance is zero and GLAIC’s obligations hereunder shall automatically
accelerate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 3.3(a).


 


3.2     EARLY TERMINATION/ACCELERATION.  The Policyholder may accelerate this Policy
by giving GLAIC not less than two (2) Business Days’ written notice upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 3.3 b., c. or
d. below.  GLAIC may accelerate this Policy,
in whole but not in part, by giving the Policyholder not less than forty-five
(45) days’, but no more than seventy-five (75) days’, prior written notice of
the occurrence of a Tax Event as described in Section 3.4, provided,
however that this Policy shall not be terminated until the Fund Balance has
been paid to the Policyholder in full.


 


3.3     EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  An Event of Default occurs if:


 


a.               GLAIC
is dissolved or a resolution is passed or proceeding is instituted for the
winding-up, liquidation or similar arrangement of GLAIC (other than pursuant to
a consolidation, amalgamation or merger);


 


b.              GLAIC
breaches any material obligation, representation or certification contained
herein, provided that there is no bona fide dispute as to whether such breach
has occurred and that such breach continues for fifteen (15) Business Days
following the Policyholder’s written notice to GLAIC of such breach;


 


2

















 


c.               GLAIC
fails to make any required Periodic Payout (other than the Maturity Payout)
described in the Accumulation Fund Schedule or any other payment described in
Sections 2.2 or 2.3 of this Policy or any other funding agreement GLAIC issues
in connection with the Program, and such failure continues for seven (7) Business
Days after the due date thereof;


 


d.              GLAIC
fails to make the Maturity Payout described in the Accumulation Fund Schedule
or in any other funding agreement GLAIC issues in connection with the Program
and such failure is continuing as of the end of the Business Day following the
due date thereof. 


 


3.4     TAX EVENT.  A “Tax Event” occurs if GLAIC has received an
opinion of independent legal counsel stating in effect that there is more than
an insubstantial risk that as a result of 
any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change)
in, the laws (or regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or any amendment to, or
change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by
any governmental authority in the United States, which amendment or change is
enacted, promulgated, issued or announced on or after the Deposit Date, the
Policyholder is or will be within ninety (90) days of the date thereof, (1) subject
to an entity level U.S. federal income tax with respect to interest accrued or
received on this Policy or (2) subject to more than a de minimis amount of
taxes, duties or other governmental charges. 


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 3, if GLAIC shall comply in all
respects with the requirements of this Section 3, but an event of default
has occurred with respect to the notes backed by the Policy and as a result
payments with respect to the notes have been accelerated, otherwise than by
reason of any default under this Policy by GLAIC, no Event of Default (as defined
above) under this Policy shall be deemed to have occurred, no payments with
respect to this Policy shall be accelerated and GLAIC will remain obligated to
make payments under this Policy as if no Event of Default had occurred with
respect to the notes.


 


SECTION 4 – GENERAL PROVISIONS


 


4.1     PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION.  Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation
Fund Schedule, GLAIC shall pay the Policyholder the Fund Balance on the
Maturity Date.  Such payment fully
discharges GLAIC’s obligation to the Policyholder under this Policy.


 


4.2     DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY.  GLAIC’s only liability is as set out in this
Policy, including the Accumulation Fund Schedule attached hereto.  In performing its obligations under this Policy,
GLAIC is not acting as a fiduciary or agent for the Policyholder or anyone else
regardless of whether or not they are directly or indirectly associated with
the Policyholder.


 


4.3     NOTICES.  All agreements, notices, directions,
consents, elections or other communication (“Notices”) required by this Policy
must be in writing, directed to the applicable address designated on the face
page.  Any such Notices may be given by
facsimile transmission or other acceptable electronic means.  All Notices are effective when received.


 


3

















 


4.4     AMENDMENTS.  This Policy may be amended only by mutual
written agreement between the parties hereto.


 


4.5     CONFLICT.  To the extent that there is a conflict in
terms between the Policy and the Accumulation Fund Schedule, the Accumulation
Fund Schedule will control the conduct of the parties.


 


4.6     TRANSFERABILITY/ASSIGNMENT.  This Policy and the Accumulation Fund
established pursuant to it may solely be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged
in accordance with, and for the purposes contemplated by, the documents and
agreements governing the establishment and operation of the Program.  GLAIC will maintain a record of ownership of
this Policy on its books and records.


 


4.7     PAYMENTS BY GLAIC.  When
this Policy provides that GLAIC will make a payment to the Policyholder, such
payment shall be made to the Policyholder or to the agent the Policyholder designates.  Unless otherwise specified in the
Accumulation Fund Schedule, if a payment date is not a Business Day, GLAIC will
pay such amount on the next Business Day.


 


4.8     WAIVER BY GLAIC.  At the
Policyholder’s request, GLAIC may waive any terms, conditions or adjustments
provided for in this Policy.  Any such
waiver is subject to any limitations GLAIC specifies in making the waiver and
does not require GLAIC to grant similar future waivers to the Policyholder or
anyone else.  A failure or delay in
exercising a right under this Policy does not waive GLAIC’s right or ability to
assert such right in the future.


 


4.9     MUTUAL REPRESENTATIONS.  The parties mutually represent and warrant,
each to the other, that:


 


a.               This
Policy is its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditor’s rights, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principals of equity, regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in proceeding in equity or law;


 


b.              It
has the power to enter into this Policy and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby;


 


c.               All
information provided in connection with this Policy is, to the best of its
knowledge and belief, true, correct and complete;


 


d.              The
execution and the delivery of this Policy and the performance of obligations
hereunder do not and will not constitute or result in a default, breach or
violation, of the terms or provisions of its certificate, articles or charter
of incorporation, declaration of trust, by-laws or any agreement, instrument,
mortgage, judgment, injunction or order applicable to it or any of its
property.


 


4

















 


4.10   TAX PROVISIONS.  The Policyholder and each transferee and
assignee of this Policy, to the extent required by law, agree to provide GLAIC
with any properly completed tax forms that are needed for GLAIC to satisfy its
tax reporting obligations with respect to amounts held under this Policy.  This Policy is intended to be ignored for
U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. To the extent
it cannot be ignored, GLAIC and the Policyholder and each transferee and
assignee of this Policy agree to treat this Policy as GLAIC’s debt obligation
for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.
