month and dividing that total by two (2); provided, however, if there are any End of Term Renewals, the Expense Allowance for the Reinsured Policies associated with such End of Term Renewals that start after December 31, 2016 will
be zero. The Expense Allowance shall be payable in accordance with Article VIII.

shall not reimburse the Ceding Company for any guaranty fund assessments arising on account of premiums on the Reinsured Policies. 

Section 5.2    Premium Taxes.  The Ceding Company shall be liable for all Premium Taxes. The
Reinsurer shall pay to the Ceding Company a provision for Premium Taxes incurred in connection with premiums received under the Reinsured Policies in accordance with Section 4.3. 

Section 5.3    DAC Tax Election.  All uncapitalized terms used in this Section 5.2 shall have
the meanings set forth in the Treasury regulations under section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). 

(a)    The Parties will elect, pursuant to Treasury regulations section 1.848-2(g)(8), to determine specified policy
acquisition expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of section 848(c)(1) of the Code. This election shall be effective for the calendar year ending on or after the Effective Date and for all
subsequent taxable years for which any reinsurance agreement is deemed to exist due to an election made pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to attach to its Tax Return filed for the first taxable year ending after this
election becomes effective a schedule that identifies this Agreement as the subject of this election. The Party with the net positive consideration under this Agreement for each taxable year shall capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses
with respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of section 848(c)(1) of the Code. 

(b)    To ensure consistency, the Parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net
consideration deemed to be paid pursuant to any reinsurance agreement deemed to exist due to an election made pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Ceding Company shall submit a schedule to Reinsurer by March 1 of each year that
follows a year during which this Agreement was in effect for any portion of such year of Ceding Company’s calculations of the net consideration under this Agreement for the preceding calendar year. This schedule of calculations shall be
accompanied by a statement signed by an officer of Ceding Company stating that Ceding Company will report such net consideration in its federal income tax return for the preceding calendar year. Reinsurer may contest such calculation by providing an
alternative calculation to Ceding Company in writing within thirty (30) days of Reinsurer’s receipt of Ceding Company’s calculation. If Reinsurer does not notify Ceding 

 

 12 








 
Company within such time that it contests the calculation, Reinsurer shall report the net consideration as determined by Ceding Company in Reinsurer’s Tax Return for the previous calendar
year. 
 (c)    If Reinsurer contests Ceding Company’s calculation of the net consideration, the
Parties will act in good faith to reach an agreement as to the correct amount within thirty (30) days of the date Reinsurer submits its alternative calculation. If the Parties reach an agreement on an amount of net consideration, each Party
will report the agreed upon amount in its federal income tax return for the previous calendar year. If during such period, Ceding Company and Reinsurer are unable to reach agreement, they shall within ten (10) days of the expiration of the
thirty (30) day period set forth in this Section 5.2(c), cause a Third Party Accountant promptly to review (which review shall commence no later than five (5) days after the selection of the Third Party Accountant) this Agreement and
the calculations of Ceding Company and Reinsurer for the purpose of calculating the net consideration under this Agreement. In making such calculation, the Third Party Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in Ceding Company’s
calculation as to which Reinsurer has disagreed. The Third Party Accountant shall deliver to Ceding Company and Reinsurer, as promptly as practicable (but no later than thirty (30) days after the commencement of its review), a report setting
forth such calculation, which calculation shall result in a net consideration between the amount thereof shown in Ceding Company’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(b) and the amount thereof in Reinsurer’s calculation
delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(b). Such report shall be final and binding upon Ceding Company and Reinsurer. The fees, costs and expenses of the Third Party Accountant shall be borne (x) by Ceding Company if the difference between the
net consideration as calculated by the Third Party Accountant and Ceding Company’s calculation is greater than the difference between the net consideration as calculated by the Third Party Accountant and Reinsurer’s calculation;
(y) by Reinsurer if the first such difference is less than the second such difference; and (z) otherwise equally by Ceding Company and Reinsurer.

(a)    If the Reinsurer becomes insolvent or if the Commissioner has instituted a proceeding or entered a decree or

 (b)    If the Reinsurer fails to take steps
reasonably satisfactory to the Ceding Company to assure the Ceding Company of full Statutory Financial Statement Credit for the Reinsured Policies within forty-five (45) calendar days of Reinsurer’s receipt of written notice from the
Ceding Company that the Ceding Company has been advised by any Governmental Authority that the Governmental Authority will deny or has denied Statutory Financial Statement Credit on any financial statement filed by the Ceding Company with such
Governmental Authority; 
 (c)    If the Reinsurer is in material breach of any other representation,
warranty or covenant under this Agreement and the Reinsurer fails to cure any such material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of written notice of such breach by the
Reinsurer; 
 (d)    If the Reinsurer fails in any material respects to fund the Reinsurance Trust Account
to the amount required after receipt of the Top-Up Notice under Section 15.3(c) within the time period specified therein, and the Reinsurer fails to cure any such funding deficiency within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of written

Commutation Payment, if any. 
 Section 11.3    Recapture Fee.  The Ceding Company shall
pay a recapture fee (the “Recapture Fee”) to the Reinsurer upon (i) the occurrence of any recapture of the Reinsured Policies pursuant to Section 11.1(b) if such recapture was triggered by the inability of the Ceding
Company to obtain full Statutory Financial Statement Credit for the Reinsured Policies due to actions taken by the Ceding Company or its Affiliates; provided, however, that if the Reinsurer is in material breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant under this Agreement at the time a recapture is triggered under Section 11.1(b), no Recapture Fee will be due and payable by the Ceding Company or (ii) termination of this Agreement under Section 20.3(a). The
Recapture Fee shall be equal to an amount to be determined by an actuarial appraisal prepared by a nationally recognized independent actuarial firm in accordance with methodologies agreed upon by the Ceding Company and Reinsurer to determine the

Reserves are increased) and advance premiums, if applicable, attributable to the Reinsured Policies being recaptured, calculated as of the effective date of the recapture set forth in the Recapture Notice; minus (ii) any amounts due to the
Reinsurer but unpaid under this Agreement, including the Recapture Fee, if any, and net deferred premiums; plus (iii) any amounts due to the Ceding Company but unpaid under this Agreement (collectively, the “Commutation
Payment”); provided, however, that, if the amount calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this subsection exceeds the amounts calculated pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection, the Ceding
Company shall pay to the Reinsurer the amount of such excess. Following recapture and payment to the appropriate Party of the net Commutation Payment required hereunder, neither Party shall have further liability to the other Party hereunder with
respect to the recaptured business. 
 Section 11.6    Limitation on Partial
Recaptures.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, the Ceding Company shall not be permitted to effect a partial recapture pursuant to Section 11.1 if, after giving effect to the recapture, the Statutory Reserves
would be less than U.S. $100,000,000.

defense or defenses which it may deem available to the Ceding Company or its liquidator or 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 Ceding Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Ceding Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

enforcing this Agreement. The parties shall take such actions as are within their control to cause any disputes as described in the preceding sentence to be assigned to the complex litigation docket of the applicable court. In any action, suit or
other proceeding, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise any claims that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above courts, that such action or
suit is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such action, suit or other proceeding is improper. Each of the parties hereto also agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against a party hereto in connection with any action,
suit or other proceeding as contemplated in this Article XIV shall be conclusive and binding on such party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A

bond or other form of security. In the event that

cure such breach within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice or such actual knowledge. 

(ii)    An Existing Practice may be reasonably modified from time to time, except that, to the
extent the Ceding Company modifies an Existing Practice from time to time following the Effective Date (an Existing Practice, as modified from time to time, a “Then Current Practice”), the Ceding Company shall act in accordance and
consistent with the Then Current Practice; provided, that, if a Then Current Practice would materially adversely affect the rights, remedies and position of the Reinsurer, the Ceding Company shall obtain the consent of the Reinsurer

prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
  

 24 








 (ii)    The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall
reasonably cooperate on any proposals for pricing or coverage changes proposed by either Party, including making any rate and form filings or other regulatory filings that impact pricing or premiums under the Reinsured Policies; provided,
however, the Ceding Company shall have final approval authority in its discretion over any proposal brought by the Reinsurer pursuant to this Section 17.2(b)(ii). 

(iii)    The Ceding Company shall notify the Reinsurer of any information known to the Ceding

(ii) perform all its obligations to the Reinsurer under this Agreement, in a manner consistent with its utmost good faith obligations. 

(c)    Third Party Reinsurance. 

(i)    The Ceding Company shall not, without the Reinsurer’s prior approval (which approval

(ii)    The Ceding Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its existing Third
Party Reinsurance from and after the Effective Date, consistent with the existing practice of the Ceding Company in effect on the Effective Date. 

(d)    Reporting.  To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Ceding Company will provide
all reports it is required to deliver under this Agreement (including, without limitation, each Monthly Report and Quarterly Report) not later than the last date on which such report is required to be so delivered, except that the Ceding Company

responsibility for the preparation and delivery of such report has 
  

 25 








 
actual knowledge that the report was not delivered when due, and in either case the Ceding Company shall have failed to deliver such information within thirty (30) days following receipt of
such notice or actual knowledge.

date hereof, the Ceding Company shall provide to the Reinsurer a schedule containing a list of Reinsured Policies with Original Initial Level Premium Periods ending on or after January 1, 2017.
