were amended according to Article VII Automatic Reinsurance Coverage after Policy Change, but not
reflected in such List. In such case, Reinsurer will pay the Net Amount at Risk or other benefits
reinsured which would appear in the List of Amendments for the calendar year of incurral, and the
Ceding Company shall furnish proof that the amended Net Amount at Risk and other benefits reinsured
are in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 5. In the event less than the full amount insured is paid as a claim or if any special expenses
are incurred in the settlement of a claim (such as attorneys fees, court and arbitration costs,
special investigations, etc., but excluding salaries of employees), Reinsurer and the Ceding
Company shall share in the amount of such reduction or special expenses in proportion to their
respective Net Amounts at Risk under the policy affected. 6. Reinsurer and the Ceding Company shall share in any increase or reduction resulting from the

Exhibit I (continued) 5. Reinsurance premiums for Waiver of Premium Disability benefits payable for the second and later
calendar years shall be equal to 90% of the policy annual premiums for such benefits applicable to
the amount of such benefits reinsured hereunder If premiums for the Waiver of Premium Disability
benefit are automatically included in the gross Life Insurance premiums under any policy
reinsurance hereunder, then reinsurance premiums for the Waiver of Premium Disability benefit, for
second and later calendar years, shall be 100% of the Ceding Companys net annual premiums for the
reinsured amount of such benefit. 6. For standard risks only, the reinsurance premium for the excess over $3,000,000 on any one life
reinsured under this Agreement for the first calendar year (from the effective date of the policy
to the next December 31) shall be based on the second calendar year rate for the issue age. Such
first year premium shall be prorated over the year of issue as follows: First year prorated premium = n/360 (tabular rate), where n is the number of days from the issue
date to December 31, assuming 30-day months, and the tabular rate is the second calendar-year rate
for
the age at issue. 7. The Life reinsurance premiums for reinsurance of Joint Whole Life policies at Standard or
Substandard rates shall for each insured be 85% of the premium applicable for an individual life
shown in Exhibit I of the Agreement. Such rate shall be applied to the Net Amount at Risk for each
individual. In case of reinsurance under a Joint Whole Life Policy where the Joint Insureds die
simultaneously or within 60 days of each other, thus requiring the Ceding Company to pay twice the
amount of Life Insurance insured under the Joint Whole Life Policy, Reinsurer shall for each of the
joint lives reinsured pay the net amount at risk plus 50% of the terminal reserve used in
calculating the net amount at risk in accordance with Article IV, Paragraph 1, relating to the
amount reinsured on the respective life.
