BASIS OF COINSURANCE AND BUSINESS COINSURED 
 Section 2.1 Reinsurance. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby cedes on a combination coinsurance/modified coinsurance basis or a combination coinsurance/coinsurance with funds withheld basis, as specified on Schedule 1.1(a), to the Reinsurer as of the Effective
Time, and the Reinsurer hereby accepts and agrees to assume and indemnity reinsure on such basis as of the Effective Time, one hundred percent (100%) of all Reinsured Liabilities arising under or relating to the Covered Insurance Contracts.
This Agreement is an agreement for indemnity reinsurance solely between the Company and the Reinsurer and shall not create any legal relationship whatsoever between the Reinsurer and any Person other than the Company. The reinsurance effected under
this Agreement shall be maintained in force, without reduction, unless such reinsurance is terminated or reduced as provided herein. 
 (b) On and after the Effective Time, the Reinsurer will have the responsibility for paying to or on behalf of the Company, as and when due, all Reinsured Liabilities arising under or attributable to the
Covered Insurance Contracts. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Original Reinsurance Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to the parties’ respective rights and obligations thereunder arising prior to the Effective Time; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that (i) Reinsured Liabilities not paid by the
Reinsurer prior to the Effective Time are reinsured under this Agreement regardless of whether they arose or arise prior to or after the Effective Time, and (ii) neither party shall be required to pay any amount under this Agreement that it has
paid pursuant to the Original Reinsurance Agreement or vice versa. 
 Section 2.2 Reinsurance Coverage. In no
event shall the reinsurance provided hereunder with respect to a particular Covered Insurance Contract be in force and binding unless such Covered Insurance Contract was in force and binding as of the Original Effective Time; provided,
however, that the Covered Insurance Contracts reinsured hereunder shall include (a) all 

  
 -8-









 
lapsed or surrendered insurance contracts subject to the reinsurance hereunder, that are reinstated in accordance with their terms on and after the Original Effective Time and (b) all
unexecuted Covered Insurance Contracts. Upon the reinstatement of any lapsed or surrendered policy included within Covered Insurance Contracts, such reinstated Covered Insurance Contract shall be automatically reinsured hereunder, when, and to the
extent that, the Company is liable under such reinstated Covered Insurance Contract. 
 Section 2.3 Reserves.
On and after the Effective Time, the Reinsurer shall establish and maintain as a liability on its Financial Statements, Reserves for the Covered Insurance Contracts ceded hereunder, calculated consistent with the reserve requirements and actuarial
principles applicable to the Reinsurer under IFRS. The Reinsurer shall provide the Company, no later than one-hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the end of each calendar year, with copies of all actuarial opinions and actuarial
memoranda and all reserve evaluations pertaining to the Reserves for the Covered Insurance Contracts, including, without limitation, any actuarial opinions and reserve evaluations performed by independent actuaries, auditors or other outside
consultants. The Company may, at its own cost at any time, upon reasonable notice to the Reinsurer following the Effective Time, examine the Books and Records, and any other books and records that would have been included in the Books and Records
had they been in existence at the Effective Time, maintained by the Reinsurer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and review the Reinsurer’s reserve procedures, in each case as applicable to the Reinsured Liabilities. If as a result
of such examination the Company believes that the Reserves are not consistent with the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.3 in all material respects, the Reinsurer shall, at the Company’s request and expense, obtain and
deliver to the Company an actuarial opinion as to the adequacy of the Reserves for the Covered Insurance Contracts produced by an independent actuary reasonably acceptable to the Company. In the event that the actuarial opinion so rendered
reasonably indicates a material inadequacy in the Reserves for the Covered Insurance Contracts, or in the Reinsurer’s reserve procedures, the Reinsurer shall promptly adjust the amount of the Reserves for the Covered Insurance Contracts, and
implement appropriate changes to its procedures so as to avoid inadequacies in future periods; provided, however, the Reinsurer shall have the right to contest the findings of such actuarial opinion in accordance with the provisions of
Article VII. 
 Section 2.4 Insurance Contract and Reserve Assumption Changes. The Company shall not change
(a) the terms and conditions of any Covered Insurance Contracts or (b) the assumptions and methods used to establish the reserves attributable to the Covered Insurance Contracts, except as required by applicable Law or with the consent of
the Reinsurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and, in the event such a change is required by applicable Law, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer promptly upon becoming aware of the requirement to effect any such change and
provide the Reinsurer the opportunity to contest such requirement.

the Asset Purchase Agreement in an amount equal to $998,994,222. 
 (b) The Reinsurer shall be entitled prior to the Recapture
Date, as additional reinsurance premium (the “Additional Reinsurance Premium”), to payment of amounts equal to Premiums received by the Company (and attributable to periods) on and after the Effective Time that are attributable to
the Covered Insurance Contracts, net of premiums due to be paid to third party reinsurers for Existing Reinsurance in respect of the Covered Insurance Contracts; provided, however, that following the occurrence of a Recapture
Triggering Event, the Company shall be entitled to retain such amounts as funds withheld under this Agreement, and following the occurrence of a Security Triggering Event, the Company shall be entitled to retain such amounts as funds withheld under
this Agreement until such time as the Reinsurer posts security in accordance with Section 4.3. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company retains all right, title and interest to all Premiums and other
amounts received with respect to the Covered Insurance Contracts, subject to its contractual obligations under this Agreement to pay corresponding amounts over to the Reinsurer in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 

(c) To the extent that the Company recovers amounts from any third party attributable to the Covered Insurance Contracts and to periods
beginning on or after the Effective Time (including, without limitation, Premiums in arrears from a policyholder or ceding company with respect to a reinstated Covered Insurance Contract net of any amounts due to third parties under Existing
Reinsurance, litigation recoveries, and experience refunds, but excluding amounts recovered under Existing Reinsurance), the Company shall transfer such amounts to the Reinsurer and provide the Reinsurer with any pertinent information that the
Company may have relating thereto in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof. 
 Section 3.2 Settlement.
During the term of this Agreement, a settlement amount between the Company and the Reinsurer as of the last day of each Accounting Period (the “Net Settlement”) shall be calculated by the Reinsurer in accordance with Exhibit D, and
a statement setting forth such calculation (the “Settlement Statement”) shall be delivered by the Reinsurer to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of such Accounting Period in accordance with the
Administrative Services Agreement. Subject to Section 3.5, if the amount of the Net Settlement for an Accounting Period is positive, the Company shall pay such amount to the Reinsurer within 5 Business Days of its receipt of the Settlement
Statement for such Accounting Period. Subject to Section 3.5, if the amount of the Net Settlement for an Accounting Period is negative, the Reinsurer shall pay the absolute value of such amount to the Company at the time it delivers the

Simultaneously with the payment of the initial reinsurance premium pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Company withheld from the Reinsurer an amount equal to the Modified Coinsurance Amount as at the Original Effective Time as an initial modified
coinsurance adjustment. 
 (b) Funds Withheld Account. 

(i) The Company shall maintain a funds withheld account payable to the Reinsurer on its books during the term of this
Agreement (the “Funds Withheld Account”) in an amount which at any time during the term of this Agreement shall be equal to the Total Funds Withheld Balance at such time. 

(ii) Simultaneously with the payment of the initial reinsurance premium pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Company
withheld from the Reinsurer an amount equal to the Total Funds Withheld Balance as at the Original Effective Time as an initial funds withheld adjustment, which included an initial funds withheld adjustment of $161,334,000 in respect of Funds
Withheld Balance 2 (the “Initial Funds Withheld Balance 2”). 
 Section 3.4 Delayed
Payments. If there is a delayed settlement of any payment due hereunder, interest will accrue on such payment at the 180-Day Treasury Rate then in effect until settlement is made. For purposes of this Section 3.4, a payment will be
considered overdue, and such interest will begin to accrue, on the first day immediately following the date such payment is due. For greater clarity, (i) a payment shall be deemed to be due hereunder on the last date on which such payment may
be timely made under the applicable provision, and (ii) interest will not accrue on any payment due the Reinsurer hereunder unless the delayed settlement thereof was caused by the Company. 

Section 3.5 Offset and Recoupment Rights. Any debits or credits incurred on and after the Effective Time in favor of
or against either the Company or Reinsurer with respect to this Agreement, Reinsurance Agreement (B), or Reinsurance Agreement (C) or any other reinsurance agreements or trust agreements that are deemed mutual debits or credits, as the case may
be, shall be set off and recouped, and only the net balance shall be allowed or paid. This Section 3.5 shall apply notwithstanding the existence of any insolvency, rehabilitation, conservatorship or comparable proceeding by or against the
Company or the Reinsurer.

 Section 3.6 Administration. The Reinsurer will administer, or
cause the administration of, the Covered Insurance Contracts and cause quarterly accountings with respect thereto to be provided to the Company in accordance with the Administrative Services Agreement. All reports, remittances and payments due to or
from a party hereto shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Administrative Services Agreement. 

Section 3.7 Certain Reports. 
 (a) Not later than ninety (90) calendar days after the end of each calendar year, and sixty (60) calendar days after the end of any Accounting Period other than the Accounting Period ending on
December 31, the Reinsurer shall provide to the Company a copy of Form CR30, which details the calculation of the minimum solvency margin of the Reinsurer, together with a certificate of an officer of the Reinsurer stating that such calculation
is in accordance with the procedures for the calculation of a reinsurance company minimum solvency margin required by Irish Law. 
 (b) The Reinsurer shall provide written notice of the occurrence of any Triggering Event within two (2) Business Days after its occurrence. The Company may request that the Reinsurer provide the
Company with copies of its quarterly unaudited or annual audited, as applicable, Financial Statements to confirm the calculations provided by Reinsurer pursuant to this Section 3.7. In addition, Reinsurer shall cooperate fully with the Company
and promptly respond to the Company’s reasonable inquiries from time to time concerning the determination of whether a Triggering Event has occurred. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 LICENSES; REPORTS; SECURITY 

Section 4.1 Licenses. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the Reinsurer shall hold and maintain all
licenses and authorizations required under applicable Law and otherwise take all commercially reasonable action that may be necessary to perform its obligations under this Section 4.1. 

Section 4.2 Reports. At the Company’s request, the Reinsurer shall provide the Company with its audited
annual Financial Statements along with the audit report thereon, as well as any quarterly reports required to be filed by the Reinsurer. At the Reinsurer’s request, the Company shall provide the Reinsurer with its audited annual Financial
Statements along with the audit report thereon, as well as any quarterly reports required to be filed by the Company. 

Section 4.3 Security. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Security Triggering Event, the Company shall have the right to require the Reinsurer to post security in an amount equal to the Security Amount. Not later than ten
(10) Business Days following receipt by the Reinsurer of written notice from the Company requiring such security (the “Initial Security Amount Posting Date”), the Reinsurer shall calculate the Security Amount, provide written
notice of such calculation to the Company and post security in such amount. At the option of the Reinsurer, such security may take the form of either (x) a letter of credit issued by a bank, and in a form, reasonably acceptable to the Company
naming the Company as beneficiary or (y) assets (complying with the investment guidelines attached to the ING Asset Management Services Agreement) deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of Company on terms reasonably
acceptable 

  
 -12-









 
to the Company and the Reinsurer. In connection with the foregoing, the Reinsurer shall take all actions as may be necessary or desirable, or that the Company may reasonably request, in order to
grant the Company a security interest in any assets deposited in trust pursuant to the preceding sentence. 
 (b) For each
Accounting Period beginning after an Initial Security Amount Posting Date and prior to the related Security Amount Release Date, the Reinsurer shall calculate the Security Amount with respect to such Accounting Period and provide written notice of
the calculation of the Security Amount to the Company (the “Security Amount Adjustment Notice”), not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the prior Accounting Period (the “Security Amount Adjustment
Date”). If the Security Amount is reduced as of any Security Amount Adjustment Date, then the excess portion of any letter of credit posted as security pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be cancelled or the excess portion of the assets
deposited in a trust account as security pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be returned to the Reinsurer, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of the Security Amount Adjustment Notice to the Company. If the
Security Amount is increased as of any Security Amount Adjustment Date, then the Reinsurer shall post the required additional security (in the form described in Section 4.3(a)) promptly upon delivery of the Security Amount Adjustment Notice to
the Company. 
 (c) The Company hereby agrees that it shall draw on any letter of credit posted in respect of a Security
Triggering Event or withdraw assets on deposit in a trust account in respect of a Security Triggering Event only if, and to the extent that, the Reinsurer fails to timely pay any material amount due to the Company hereunder and such amount remains
unpaid for thirty (30) calendar days after notice to the Reinsurer of such nonpayment. Any amount drawn on a letter of credit or paid from a trust account pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to satisfy the Reinsurer’s
requirement to make such payment. 
 (d) In the event that following a Security Triggering Event the insurer financial strength
rating of the Reinsurer increases to at least “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, then any letter of credit posted in respect of such Security Triggering Event shall be surrendered and cancelled or any amount held in
trust in respect of such Security Triggering Event shall be returned to the Reinsurer, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days after the date upon which the Reinsurer provides to the Company notice of such ratings increase (the
“Security Amount Release Date”). 
 (e) The Company may contest the Reinsurer’s calculation of the
Security Amount by providing an alternative calculation to the Reinsurer in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Company receives the Reinsurer’s calculation. If the Company contests the Reinsurer’s
calculation of the Security Amount with respect to any Accounting Period, the parties shall act in good faith to reach an agreement as to the correct Security Amount for such Accounting Period within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on
which the Company submits its alternative calculation. If the Company and the Reinsurer are unable to reach an agreement as to the calculation of the Security Amount during such period, the parties may submit the dispute regarding the calculation of
the Security Amount for resolution to an independent third party actuary mutually acceptable to the Company and the Reinsurer (the “Independent Actuary”). Upon the selection of the Independent Actuary, and in any event within five
(5) calendar days 

  
 -13-









 
following such selection, the parties shall cause the Independent Actuary to review the calculation of the Security Amount and to deliver to the Reinsurer and the Company as promptly as
practicable (but no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the commencement of the Independent Actuary’s review), a report setting forth the Independent Actuary’s calculation of the Security Amount. Such report shall also state
the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Actuary and indicate which of the parties shall bear such costs or in what percentage such costs shall be allocated to the parties. The Independent Actuary’s report shall be final and binding upon
the Reinsurer and the Company. 
 (f) The security required by this Section 4.3 shall be maintained separately for each of
this Agreement, Reinsurance Agreement (B) and Reinsurance Agreement (C). The Company shall reimburse the Reinsurer for any amount by which the cost of providing three separate forms of security exceeds that which the Reinsurer would have
incurred to maintain a single form of security; provided, that the Reinsurer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such excess. 
 ARTICLE V 
 OVERSIGHTS; COOPERATION; REGULATORY MATTERS

 Section 5.1 Oversights. Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this
Agreement or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission is rectified as soon as possible
after discovery, and provided, further, that the party making such error or omission or responsible for such delay shall be responsible for any additional liability which attaches as a result. If (a) the failure of either party to
comply with any provision of this Agreement is unintentional or the result of a misunderstanding or oversight and (b) such failure to comply is promptly rectified, both parties shall be restored as closely as possible to the positions they
would have occupied if no error or oversight had occurred. 
 Section 5.2 Cooperation. Each party
hereto shall cooperate fully with the other in all reasonable respects in order to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement. 

Section 5.3 Regulatory Matters. If the Company or the Reinsurer receives notice of, or otherwise becomes aware
of, any regulatory inquiry, investigation or proceeding relating to the Covered Insurance Contracts that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the other party, the Company or the Reinsurer, as applicable, shall promptly notify
the other party thereof, whereupon the parties shall cooperate in good faith and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such matter in a mutually satisfactory manner, in light of all the relevant business, regulatory and
legal facts and circumstances.

 ARTICLE VI 
 DAC TAX 
 Section 6.1 DAC Tax. 

(a) To the extent hereinafter set forth, the Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company for any additional Tax that the Company incurs as a
result of the application of section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to the Covered Insurance Contracts and as a consequence of the Reinsurer not being subject to U.S. taxation within
the meaning of section 1.848-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 848 of the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”) (such additional Tax, the “DAC Tax”), provided, however, that the Reinsurer shall
have no obligation to the Company under this Article VI unless the Company has made the election described in section 1.848-2(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations (the “Foreign DAC Election”) in or prior to the taxable year for which
the Company seeks indemnification. The DAC Tax for each taxable year shall equal (1) the excess of (A) the product of (i) the amount of “net negative consideration” (as such term is defined in section 1.848-2(f) of the
Treasury Regulations), if any, attributable solely to this Agreement that the Company would take into account for such taxable year for purposes of section 848 of the Code if section 1.848-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations were not applicable to the
Company, multiplied by (ii) the applicable percentage set forth in section 848(c)(1) of the Code for the category of “specified insurance contracts” (as defined in section 848(e)(1) of the Code) reinsured under the Covered Insurance
Contracts (such product being referred to herein as the “Capitalized Amount”), over (B) the hypothetical Tax deductions attributable to the amortization of an amount equal to the Capitalized Amount (and the amortization of any
unamortized similar amount for prior years) for such taxable year under section 848(a), multiplied by (2) the quotient of (A) the maximum marginal corporate federal income Tax rate percentage generally applicable to life insurance
companies for such taxable year (the “Tax Rate Percentage”), divided by (B) the excess of (i) 100 percent over (ii) the Tax Rate Percentage. (In the event that the amount determined under clause (1)(A) is less
than the amount determined under clause (1)(B), the product of the foregoing formula will constitute an amount reimbursable to the Reinsurer as a Company Payment (as defined below).) To the extent that, as a result of the Foreign DAC Election, the
Company derives any Tax benefit from the treatment of (1) the amount of “net negative consideration” described above as an amount to be netted against “net positive consideration” for purposes of section 1.848-2(h)(5)(ii)(A)
of the Treasury Regulations or (2) all or part of a Capitalized Amount as a “net negative foreign capitalization amount” for purposes of section 1.848-2(h)(6) or (7) of the Treasury Regulations, and such Tax benefit is in excess
of the Tax benefit that the Company would have derived in the absence of this Agreement, the amount of the DAC Tax for a relevant taxable year shall be reduced or the Company shall reimburse the Reinsurer for part or all of the Reinsurer’s
payments of the DAC Tax (a “Company Payment”), and other appropriate adjustments shall be made to the amount of the Capitalized Amount and the DAC Tax and Company Payment payable hereunder, in each case in a manner consistent with
the purposes of this Section 6.1(a) and the provisions of section 1.848-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment required to be made by the Reinsurer to the Company or by the Company to the Reinsurer under this
Section 6.1(a) for a taxable year shall be taken into account in determining the DAC Tax (or the Company Payment) for the taxable year in which notice of the amount, if any, payable under this Section 6.1(a) is provided by the Company to
the Reinsurer. All references to provisions of the Code or the Treasury Regulations 

  
 -15-









 
under this Section 6.1(a) shall be deemed to include references to any applicable statutory or regulatory successor provision, to the extent such successor provisions may be applicable to
this Agreement. An example illustrating the operation of this Section 6.1(a) is attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(a). 
 (b)
The DAC Tax or Company Payment payable for each taxable year shall be calculated in accordance with accrual principles of accounting. Upon the filing of the Company’s federal income Tax return for each taxable year, the amount, if any, payable
under Section 6.1(a) for the taxable year shall be calculated by the Company and notice setting forth the calculation of such amount shall be provided to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer shall pay any DAC Tax amount to the Company within 20
Business Days after receipt of such notice, together with interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 0.90% on the DAC Tax amount, calculated from the date on which the Company’s federal income Tax return is due in respect of such taxable year to
the payment date of the DAC Tax indemnification. If a Company Payment is required to be made hereunder, the Company shall pay such amount to the Reinsurer within 20 Business Days after receipt of such notice, together with interest at an annual rate
of LIBOR plus 0.90% on such amount, calculated from the date on which the Company’s federal income Tax return is due in respect of such taxable year to the payment date of such Company Payment. The Reinsurer and the Company shall cooperate in
good faith to implement the purposes of this Section 6.1, and the Reinsurer shall have the right to verify the Company’s calculations hereunder. 
 (c) The Reinsurer may contest any calculation under Section 6.1(a) by providing an alternative calculation to the Company in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the
Reinsurer receives the Company’s calculation. If the Reinsurer does not so notify the Company, the Company’s calculation of the amount, if any, payable under Section 6.1(a) for the relevant taxable year shall be final for all purposes
of this Agreement. 
 (d) If the Reinsurer contests the Company’s calculation of the amount, if any, payable under
Section 6.1(a) for the relevant taxable year, the parties shall act in good faith to reach an agreement as to the correct amount payable for such year within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Reinsurer submits its
alternative calculation. If the Reinsurer and the Company reach an agreement as to the correct amount payable for such year, the party obligated to make a payment to the other party shall timely make such payment. If, following such 30-day period,
the Reinsurer and the Company are unable to reach an agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or, if Deloitte & Touche USA LLP is unable or unwilling to serve, another nationally recognized
accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Company and the Reinsurer (the “Independent Accountants”) to promptly review (which review shall commence no later than five (5) calendar days after the selection of the Independent
Accountants) this Agreement and the calculations of the Reinsurer and the Company for the purpose of calculating the amount, if any, payable under Section 6.1(a) for the relevant taxable year. In making such calculation, the Independent
Accountants shall consider only those items or amounts in the Company’s calculation as to which the Reinsurer has disagreed. The Independent Accountants shall deliver to the Reinsurer and the Company, as promptly as practicable (but no later
than thirty (30) calendar days after the commencement of their review), a report setting forth such calculation, which calculation shall result in an amount payable between the amount thereof shown in the Company’s calculation delivered
pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and the amount thereof shown in the Reinsurer’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(c). Such report shall be final and binding upon the Reinsurer and the Company.


  
 -16-









 
The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne (i) by the Company if the difference (whether positive or negative) between the amount payable (as calculated by
the Independent Accountants) and the Company’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) is greater than the difference between the amount payable (as calculated by the Independent Accountants) and the Reinsurer’s calculation
delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(c), (ii) by the Reinsurer if the first such difference is less than the second such difference, and (iii) otherwise equally by the Reinsurer and the Company. 

(e) The Company and the Reinsurer agree to negotiate in good faith following the execution of this Agreement to determine a single net
amount that would be payable from the Reinsurer to the Company pursuant to the principles of Section 6.1(a) and that would be payable in lieu of the annual payments contemplated by such Section. 

ARTICLE VII 

ARBITRATION 
 Section 7.1 Arbitration. 
 (a) After the Closing Date,
any dispute between the parties with respect to the calculation of amounts that are to be calculated, reported, or that may be audited pursuant to this Agreement (other than disputes relating to: (i) the assets to be transferred to the
Reinsurer pursuant to Section 2.2. of the Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) calculations relating to DAC Tax, which shall be resolved in accordance with Article VI hereof, (iii) whether a Triggering Event has occurred or
(iv) calculation of the Security Amount, which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof), shall be decided through negotiation and, if necessary, arbitration as set forth in Section 7.2. For the avoidance of doubt, and
without limiting the rights of the Reinsurer and its Affiliates under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Reinsurer shall have no claim in arbitration or otherwise against the Company with respect to the amount or nature of the assets transferred to
the Reinsurer pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement or Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement. 
 (b) The
parties intend this Section 7.1 to be enforceable in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, including any amendments to such law which are subsequently adopted. In the event that either party refuses to submit to arbitration as required
by Section 7.1(a), the other party may request the court specified in Section 11.4 to compel arbitration. 

Section 7.2 Arbitration Procedure. The Company and Reinsurer intend that any dispute between them arising under
this Agreement (excluding those disputes identified in Section 7.1(a)) be resolved without resort to any litigation. Accordingly, the Company and Reinsurer agree that they will negotiate diligently and in good faith to agree on a mutually
satisfactory resolution of any such dispute; provided, however, that if any such dispute cannot be so resolved by them within sixty (60) calendar days (or such longer period as the parties may agree) after commencing such
negotiations, the Company and Reinsurer agree that they will submit such dispute to arbitration in the manner specified in, and such arbitration proceeding will be conducted in accordance with, the Supplementary Rules for the Resolution of
Intra-Industry U.S. Reinsurance and Insurance Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. 

  
 -17-









 The arbitration hearing will be before a panel of three (3) disinterested arbitrators,
each of whom must be a present or former officer of a life insurance or life reinsurance company familiar with the life reinsurance business, or other professionals with experience in life insurance or reinsurance, provided that such professionals
shall not have performed services for either party within the previous five (5) years, and provided further that no arbitrator shall be a former employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company and Reinsurer will each appoint one
arbitrator by written notification to the other party within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the mailing of the notification initiating the arbitration. These two arbitrators will then select the third arbitrator within sixty
(60) calendar days after the date of the mailing of the notification initiating arbitration. 
 If either the Company or
Reinsurer fails to appoint an arbitrator, or should the two arbitrators be unable to agree upon the choice of a third arbitrator, the American Arbitration Association will appoint the necessary arbitrators within thirty (30) calendar days after
the request to do so. 
 The arbitrators shall base their decision on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, if
the terms and conditions of this Agreement do not explicitly dispose of an issue in dispute between the parties, the arbitrators may base their decision on the customs and practices of the life insurance and life reinsurance industry together with
an interpretation of the law. The vote or approval of a majority of the arbitrators will decide any question considered by the arbitrators. The place of arbitration will be determined by the arbitrators. Each decision (including, without limitation,
each award) of the arbitrators will be final and binding on all parties and will be nonappealable, except that (at the request of either the Company or Reinsurer) any award of the arbitrators may be confirmed (or, if appropriate, vacated) by a
judgment entered by the court specified in Section 11.4. No such award or judgment will bear interest except as provided in Section 3.4. In no event may the arbitrators award punitive or exemplary damages. Each party will be responsible
for paying (a) all fees and expenses charged by its respective counsel, accountants, actuaries, and other representatives in conjunction with such arbitration and (b) one-half of the fees and expenses charged by each arbitrator.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 INSOLVENCY 
 Section 8.1 Insolvency of the
Company. In the event of the insolvency of the Company, all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Agreement shall be payable by the Reinsurer directly to the Company or to its statutory
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Company under the Covered Insurance Contracts without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company. It is understood, however, that in the event of the
insolvency of the Company, the liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice of the pendency of a claim against the Company on a Covered Insurance Contract within a reasonable period of time after such claim is
filed in the insolvency proceedings and that during the pendency of such claim the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses which it may
deem available to the Company or its 

  
 -18-









 
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. It is further understood that the expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the Company as part
of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. 

ARTICLE IX 

DURATION; RECAPTURE 
 Section 9.1 Duration. This Agreement shall continue in force until such time as (i) the Company’s liability with respect to all Covered Insurance Contracts reinsured
hereunder is terminated in accordance with their respective terms, or the Company has elected to recapture the reinsurance of Covered Insurance Contracts in full in accordance with Section 9.3, and (ii) the Company has received payments
which discharge such liability in full in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In no event shall the interpretation of this Section 9.1 imply any unilateral right of the Reinsurer to terminate this Agreement; provided,
however, that in the event that the Company fails to timely pay any material amount due the Reinsurer hereunder or under Reinsurance Agreement (B) or Reinsurance Agreement (C), and such amount remains unpaid for thirty (30) calendar
days, the Reinsurer shall have the right to terminate reinsurance hereunder upon the end of such period. In such case or in the event that following an insolvency of the Company, the statutory liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of the
Company terminates this Agreement, the provisions of Section 9.3 and Section 9.4 shall apply as if the Termination Date were a Recapture Date and the Reinsurer shall be relieved of all liability under this Agreement to make future payments
to the Company. 
 Section 9.2 Survival. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IX, the
terms and conditions of Articles I, VI and X and the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.4, 11.6, 11.9 and 11.10 shall remain in full force and effect after the Termination Date. 
 Section 9.3 Recapture. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a
Recapture Triggering Event, the Company shall have the right to recapture all, and not less than all, of the reinsurance ceded under this Agreement, Reinsurance Agreement (B) and Reinsurance Agreement (C), by providing the Reinsurer with
written notice of its intent to effect recapture. Recapture of the Covered Insurance Contracts shall be effective on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the Company has provided the Reinsurer with such notice (the “Recapture
Date”). 
 (b) In addition, all or a portion of the reinsurance ceded under this Agreement may be recaptured with the
mutual written consent of the parties hereto, including in connection with the establishment of a Buyers Facility. 
 (c) If any
Covered Insurance Contract is terminated or liabilities thereunder are recaptured strictly in accordance with the terms of such Covered Insurance Contract and the consent of the Company is not required for such termination or recapture, the Company
shall, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Reinsurer, recapture the liabilities ceded to the Reinsurer hereunder that are attributable to such terminated Covered Insurance Contract or to the liabilities recaptured under such
Covered Insurance Contract, as the case may be. 

  
 -19-









 (d) Following any recapture pursuant to this Section 9.3, subject to Section 9.2
and to the payment obligations described in Section 9.4, both the Company and the Reinsurer will be fully and finally released from all rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the recaptured portion of the Covered Insurance
Contract or Covered Insurance Contracts, including any claims of the Reinsurer to any modified coinsurance reserves or funds withheld balances held in connection with recaptured portion of the Covered Insurance Contracts, other than any payment
obligations due hereunder prior to the Recapture Date but still unpaid on such date. 
 Section 9.4 Recapture
Payments. 
 (a) In connection with a recapture in full pursuant to Section 9.3(a), the Reinsurer shall
prepare a Settlement Statement (the “Terminal Settlement Statement”) within sixty (60) calendar days of the Recapture Date setting forth the Net Settlement calculated in accordance with Exhibit D for the for the Terminal
Accounting Period. If the amount of the Net Settlement for the Terminal Accounting Period is positive, the Company shall pay such amount to the Reinsurer within five (5) calendar days of its receipt of the Terminal Settlement Statement. If the
amount of the Net Settlement for the Terminal Accounting Period is negative, the Reinsurer shall pay the absolute value of such amount to the Company at the time it delivers the Terminal Settlement Statement to the Company. In addition, on the
Recapture Date or any other date on which all of the reinsurance ceded under this Agreement is recaptured, any letter of credit posted pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be immediately surrendered and cancelled and any amount held in trust pursuant
to Section 4.3 shall be immediately returned to the Reinsurer, as the case may be. 
 (b) No recapture fee shall be payable
in connection with a recapture in connection with the establishment of a Buyers Facility pursuant to Section 9.3(b) and any recapture payment in connection therewith shall be as mutually agreed by the parties. 

(c) In connection with a recapture due to the termination or recapture by an underlying ceding company of a Covered Insurance Contract
pursuant to Section 9.3(c), the Company shall pay to the Reinsurer its quota share of any recapture fee received by the Company from such underlying ceding company in connection with the recapture and the Reinsurer shall pay to the Company its
quota share of any recapture payment paid by the Company to such underlying ceding company. 
 Section 9.5 Payment

Section 9.1 or the last sentence of Section 9.1 (i) the Company and the Reinsurer shall implement a Net Settlement in accordance with Exhibit D for the Terminal Accounting Period and (ii) the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to collect amounts due from ceding companies under the Covered Insurance Contracts and pay to the Reinsurer an amount equal to the aggregate of the amount of assets actually held by the Company in respect of the Modified Coinsurance Amount
and in the Funds Withheld Account at the time

“Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party and so long as the
Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Claim) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, provided that (a) counsel for the Indemnifying Party who
shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and (b) the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party
and such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not promptly assume the defense of such 

  
 -21-









 
Third Party Claim following notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and to settle or agree to pay in full such Third Party Claim without the
consent of the Indemnifying Party without prejudice to the ability of the Indemnified Party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party, (ii) does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of an irrevocable release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (iii) would restrict such Indemnified
Party’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course or would otherwise have a materially adverse impact on the business of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the conduct of the defense or
any proposed settlement of any Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the Indemnified Party’s Tax liability, or that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are
inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and control the defense, settlement, negotiation or
Litigation relating to any such Third Party Claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party, provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In any event, the Reinsurer and the Company shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article X and the
records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense. 
 Section 10.4
Disclaimer. The Reinsurer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Reinsurer is not relying in any way upon any duty of utmost good faith or other similar duty of disclosure on the part of the Company (a “Special
Duty”) in connection with the cession of liabilities from the Company to the Reinsurer as of the Effective Time. Accordingly, as an inducement for the Company to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Reinsurer
hereby agrees that it will not institute any arbitration or other proceeding against the Company or assert any claim or defense against the Company in any arbitration or other proceeding with respect to the liabilities assumed hereunder based in
whole or in part upon any Special Duty as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Reinsurer reserves all of its rights and remedies in respect of any Special Duty arising after the Original Effective Time other than any
Special Duty arising in connection with the separation of the Original Reinsurance Agreement into this Agreement, Reinsurance Agreement (B) and Reinsurance Agreement (C) as of the Effective Time.

SLD are guaranteed for more than one year of the Company’s quota share of the valuation net premium calculated as the tabular cost of insurance for each future policy year as of the end of such Accounting Period. For purposes of calculating the
SLD Modco APR, the tabular cost of insurance is defined as the net single premium at the beginning of a policy year for one-year term insurance in the amount of the guaranteed death benefit in that

the beginning of such Accounting Period, multiplied by the rate of return actually realized on the portfolio of assets owned by SLDI and managed by HLRUS pursuant to the ING Asset Management Services Agreement during such Accounting Period.

 The “Modified Coinsurance Investment Income” for an Accounting Period shall be equal to the investment income earned during
such Accounting Period on the assets held in respect of the modified coinsurance reserves under the Covered Insurance Contracts ceded on a coinsurance/modified coinsurance basis listed in Schedule 1.1(a)(i).

as of the close of such Accounting Period less the Initial Funds Withheld Balance 2 and (ii) with respect to all other Accounting Periods, the Funds Withheld Balance 2 as of the close of such Accounting Period less the Funds Withheld Balance 2
as of the close of the preceding Accounting Period; minus 
 g) with respect to a Terminal Accounting Period ending on the Recapture Date
only, an amount equal to the difference (whether positive or negative) between (i) the Reserves as of the close of the Terminal Accounting Period and (ii) the sum of (x) the Modified Coinsurance Amount as of the close of the Terminal
Accounting Period and (y) the Total Funds Withheld Balance as of the close of the Terminal Accounting Period; 
 provided that with
respect to the Modified Coinsurance Investment Income, the Funds Withheld Investment Income 1, the Modified Coinsurance Adjustment, or the Funds Withheld Adjustment 1 for an Accounting Period, to the extent that the calculation of any of such items
would result in an amount payable to the Reinsurer, only such amounts as are actually received by the Company from the ceding companies under the Covered Insurance Contracts by way of payment or offset or otherwise (“Received
Amounts”) shall be included in the Net Settlement; provided further that to the extent that the Reinsurer makes any payments during an Accounting Period to or on behalf of the Company in respect of Reinsured Liabilities, the
amount of any such payments shall be excluded from the Net Settlement; and provided further that to the extent the Reinsurer receives any Additional Reinsurance Premium in respect of an Accounting Period during such Accounting Period,
the amount of any such Additional Reinsurance Premium received shall be excluded from the Net Settlement. 
 In connection with each Net
Settlement, the Reinsurer shall fund any amounts required to be paid by the Company as “Top-Ups”, and shall be entitled to any funds withdrawn by the Company as “Withdrawals”, in each case under Schedule F to SLD Treaty 2774 and
Schedule F to SLD Treaty 2962 (referred to together herein as “Schedule F”); provided, that the Reinsurer may, at its election, notify 







 
the Company that it elects to establish one or more letters of credit for the benefit of SLD satisfying the requirements of Schedule F with respect to Market Value Top-Up Payments in lieu of
funding such payments in cash or other assets. Such Top-Ups and Withdrawals shall be made in lieu of the payment of Modified Coinsurance Investment Income and Funds Withheld Investment Income 1 in clause (c) and in lieu of the payment of
amounts under clauses (d) and (e) of the Net Settlement formula above (it being acknowledged that all or a portion of any Top-Up may also consist of collateralization for unrealized capital losses consistent with the intent of SLD and the
Company with respect to Schedule F as described in the first sentence of Section 4 of Schedule F). The Reinsurer shall fund any amounts required to be funded by the Company pursuant to the second sentence of Section 8.1 of SLD Treaty 2774
and SLD Treaty 2962; provided, that the five (5) business days referred to in that sentence shall be deemed for the purposes of the Reinsurer’s funding obligation to mean five (5) business days following the Reinsurer’s receipt
of the due and accrued investment income report referred to therein. The Reinsurer shall be given credit for the amount of any funding provided by the Reinsurer pursuant to the foregoing sentence against any amount payable by the Reinsurer in
connection with the Net Settlement for the relevant Accounting Period. 
 The Company shall act at the direction of the Reinsurer in determining
(i) whether to (A) utilize letters of credit established by the Reinsurer rather than cash or other assets in funding any such Top-Up Payment as permitted by Schedule F and (B) make any Withdrawal permitted by Schedule F, and
(ii) whether to dispute any asset value for purposes of Schedule F and in selecting an independent investment management firm to resolve any such dispute in accordance with Section 3 of Schedule F. In connection with any Terminal
Settlement under either of such treaties, the Reinsurer shall be (i) required to make any payment required to be made by the Company to SLD under Section 2(a) of Schedule F and (ii) entitled to any payment required to be made by SLD
to the Company under Section 2(b) of Schedule F. 
 Any payments made by SLD as adjustments in accordance with Section 5 of Schedule F
shall be paid over by the Company to the Reinsurer, and any payments made by the Company to SLD as adjustments under such Section shall be reimbursed by the Reinsurer.

	1 	 This amount is negative if in parentheses. Positive amounts of net consideration are treated as zero under the DAC Tax formula. The net consideration
number includes any DAC Tax payment or Company Payment made in a year. Thus, for 2010, the zero amount of net consideration reflects both the actual negative consideration paid by C to R in respect of the retroceded business and the DAC Tax payment
made by R to C for the 2009 year. 



	2 	 Based on the amortization of an amount equal to the Capitalized Amount or Amounts, as adjusted for use of net negative foreign capitalization amounts.




	3 	 The reduction in the amortization deductions for 2011 from the 77 implicit in the 770 of Capitalized Amount for 2009 is attributable to the use of 385
of the net negative foreign capitalization amount from 2009 and a concomitant reduction in the analog to the Capitalized Amount number that is used to calculate the hypothetical amortization deductions. A similar adjustment occurs with respect to
2012. 



	4 	 This amount is negative if in parentheses.
