promptly notify the other Party thereof, and in no event more than five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, and shall promptly furnish to such other Party copies of all pleadings in connection therewith.

 

Section 7.2      Defense of Regulatory
Complaints and Actions.
  

(a)     From and after the Effective Date, with
respect to any examination or Action initiated by a Governmental Entity with respect to the Administered Business, the Administrator shall supervise and control the investigation, contest, defense and/or settlement of all such Actions at its own
cost and expense, in the name of the Company when necessary, subject to Sections 2.3 and clauses (b), (c) and (d) below.
  
 (b)     The Company authorizes the Administrator to prepare, with a copy to the Company, a response to any such examination or Action initiated by a
Governmental Entity with respect to the Administered Business within the Governmental Entity’s requested time frame for response or, if no such time frame is provided, within the time frame as allowed by applicable Law; provided, that, subject
to meeting such time frames, the Administrator shall provide its proposed response to the Company for its prior review and comment.
  
 (c)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, upon written notice to the Administrator and at its own cost and expense,
shall have the right at any time to supervise and exclusively control the defense and/or settlement of any examination or Action initiated by a Governmental Entity that, if successful, would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the
business, financial condition or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, the Company shall not respond to any such examinations or Actions that relate to the Administered Business without taking into account in good
faith any recommendation of the Administrator provided to the Company with respect to such matters and shall not unreasonably reject such recommendation, and shall not settle or compromise any such examinations or Actions without the
Administrator’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Company’s supervision and control of such examinations and Actions shall not constitute a waiver of any right to
indemnification or payment that it may have under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Reinsurance Agreement or this Agreement.

 

(d)     The Administrator shall not settle or
compromise any examination or Action described in Section 7.2(a) without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any

(ii)     keep the Company fully
informed of the progress of all Actions supervised or controlled by the Administrator in which the Company is a named party and, at the Company’s request, provide to the Company a report summarizing the nature of such Action, the alleged
actions or omissions giving rise to such Actions and copies of any files or other documents that the Company may reasonably request in connection with its review of such matters, in each case other than such files, documents and other information as
would, in the judgment of counsel to the Administrator, lead to the loss or waiver of legal privilege.
  
 (b)     The Company shall have the right to engage its own separate legal representation, at its own expense, and to participate fully in the defense of any
Action (other than Actions brought by a Governmental Entity, which are the subject of Section 7.2) relating to the Administered Business with respect to which the Company is a named party if such Action, if successful, reasonably could be
expected to materially interfere with the business, financial condition or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates, without waiving any right to indemnification or payment that it may have under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Reinsurance Agreement or this Agreement.

 

(c)     The Administrator shall not settle or
compromise any Action described in Section 7.3(b) without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of
applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Administrator or its Affiliates and a full and complete release is
provided to the Company and its Affiliates, (iii) the settlement does not encumber any of the assets of the Company or its Affiliates or contain any restriction or condition that would materially adversely affect the Company or its Affiliates and
(iv) the Action neither is certified, nor seeks certification, as a class action.
  
 (d)     The Company, upon written notice to the Administrator and at its own cost and expense, shall have the right at any time to assume sole and exclusive
control over the response, defense, settlement or other resolution of any Action (other than Actions brought by a Governmental Entity, which are the subject of Section 7.2) that, if successful, reasonably could be expected to materially
interfere with the business, financial condition or reputation of the Company

or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, the Company shall not respond to any such
Actions without taking into account in good faith any recommendation of the Administrator provided to the Company with respect to such Actions and shall not unreasonably reject such recommendation, and shall not settle or compromise any such Actions
without the Administrator’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Company’s supervision and control of such examinations and Actions shall not constitute a waiver of any
right to indemnification or payment that it may have under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Reinsurance Agreement or this Agreement.

 

Section 7.4     Cooperation. Each
Party hereto shall cooperate with and assist the controlling Party in responding to, defending, prosecuting and settling any examination or Action under this Article VII; provided, that neither Party shall be required to waive any applicable
attorney-client, attorney work product or other evidentiary privileges, and provided, further that neither Party shall be required to provide the other Party access to any federal, state, or local consolidated income Tax Return that includes the
responding Party or its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties shall assist each other and cooperate with the other Party in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable in a commercially reasonable
manner in connection with any and all market conduct or other Governmental Entity examinations to the extent related to the Administered Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the

Funds. Except as provided in Section 5.1 the Administrator will hold no funds or assets belonging to the Company. Neither Party will advance funds to the other in connection with this Agreement or the services performed hereunder.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

Section 8.1      Non-Disclosure.
Neither Party shall, and each shall cause their Affiliates that are Subcontractors or Recipients not to, make Confidential Information of the other Party available in any form to any third party, other than a Party’s financial auditors,
retrocessionaires or counsel, or to use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise their and their Affiliates that are Subcontractors or Recipients respective rights and perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement. Each Party shall and shall cause its Affiliates that are Subcontractors or Recipients to, hold the other Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and to take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential Information is not
disclosed, distributed or used by its respective Personnel in breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates that are Subcontractors or Recipients to, take all reasonable precautions, but
not less than those employed to protect such Party’s own Confidential Information, to prevent the Confidential Information of the other Party from being disclosed, distributed or used, in whole or in part, by any person in breach of this
Agreement.
  

Section 8.2      Disclosure to
Personnel.      A Party or its Affiliates may disclose any Confidential Information received from the other Party to their respective Personnel and permitted

 
 

 
10

  

  

Subcontractors who have a need to know it for purposes of the receiving Party performing its
obligations or exercising its rights hereunder, and who agree to protect the received Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure in accordance with this Agreement. The receiving Party shall take appropriate actions by instruction,
agreement or otherwise, with its Personnel who are permitted access to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, to inform them of this Agreement and obtain their compliance with the
terms expressed herein.
  

Section 8.3     Exceptions. A
Party’s “Confidential Information” does not include, and the obligation of confidentiality under this Agreement does not apply to, information that: (a) is, on the date hereof, lawfully available in the public domain or which in
the future lawfully enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; (b) is disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party that, in so doing, is not in breach of an independent obligation of confidentiality; (c) was lawfully in
the possession of the receiving Party before the information was disclosed to it by the disclosing Party; (d) is developed by or for the receiving Party independently of the information disclosed by the disclosing Party and not in breach of an
independent obligation of confidentiality; or (e) the disclosing Party consents in writing that the receiving Party may disclose
  
 Section 8.4     Disclosure Required by Law. This Section 8.4 will not be construed to prohibit disclosure of Confidential Information to the
extent that such disclosure is required by applicable Law or valid order of a court or other Governmental Entity; provided, that a Party or any of its Affiliates that has been subpoenaed or otherwise compelled by an Applicable Law or court order to
disclose Confidential Information (the “Responding Party”) shall first have given reasonably prompt written notice to the other Party of the receipt of any subpoena or other request for such disclosure and shall have made a
reasonable effort, at the other Party’s direction and expense, to seek a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing
obligation of the Responding Party, nothing in this Section 8.4 shall limit or restrict the ability of the other Party to act on its own behalf and at its own expense to prevent or limit the required disclosure of Confidential
Information.

the Administered Business or if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, the work product immunity or any other legal privilege or similar doctrine or contravene any applicable Law or any contract (including any
confidentiality agreement to which the Administrator or any of its Affiliates is a party) (it being understood that the Administrator shall use its reasonable best efforts to enable such information to be furnished or made available to the Company
or its representatives without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such applicable Law or contract) or require the Administrator to disclose any personnel or related records.

Section 16.1 Confidentiality Obligations. In providing the
Administrative Services provided for under this Agreement, and in connection with maintaining, administering, handling and transferring the data of the Contractholders and other recipients of benefits under the Reinsured Contracts, the Administrator
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and any permitted Subcontractors to, comply with any the terms of the Reinsured Contracts, applicable Law and/or regulations with respect to privacy or data security relative to Customer Information (as defined
below) and the provisions of written privacy policies under which the Customer Information was gathered, and shall implement and maintain an effective information security program (the “Information Security Program”) designed to
protect Customer Information in compliance with all applicable privacy laws and other applicable Law and the terms of the Reinsured Contracts:

 

(i)      to ensure the security,
integrity and confidentiality of Customer Information;
  
 (ii)     to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such Customer Information; and

 

(iii)     to protect against
unauthorized access to or use of Customer Information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the owner thereof or its Affiliates, or to Customers or potential Customers thereof.

 

The Administrator has made copies of the primary policies and procedures of such
Information Security Program in effect as of the Effective Date available to the Company, which policies and procedures are subject to the non-disclosure requirements of Section 8.1. From time to time upon the Company’s written request,
the Administrator shall deliver a copy of its then-current primary policies and procedures of the Information Security Program to the Company. For as long as Administrative Services are provided hereunder, the Administrator shall, and shall cause
its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to abide by the Information Security Program with respect to the Administered Business. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the Information Security Program shall be no less
protective of the Administered Business than the information security program of the Administrator applicable to the insurance business administered by the Administrator for its own account. The Administrator shall permit the Company and its
representatives to audit the Administrator’s compliance with this Section 16.1 upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, provided that such audit may occur no more frequently than annually; however, in the event that the
Company reasonably determines that the Administrator is not in compliance with this Section 16.1, the Company and its representatives shall be permitted to audit the Administrator as frequently as reasonably requested by the Company. Any
information obtained by the Company pursuant to such audit are subject to the non-disclosure requirements of Section 8.1. To the extent required by applicable Law, the Administrator shall also enable individual subjects of personally
identifiable information, upon
  
 

 
17

  

  

request from such individuals, to review and correct information maintained by the
Administrator about them and to restrict use of such information.

 

“Customer Information” is defined as all tangible and intangible
information provided or disclosed in connection with the Administered Business about present or former contract holders, annuitants, or other beneficiaries (collectively, hereinafter “Customers”) or potential Customers under the
Administered Business, including, but not limited to, name, address, telephone number, email address, account or policy information, and any list, description, or other grouping of Customers or potential Customers, and any medical records or other
medical information of such Customers or potential Customers and any other type of Customer information deemed “nonpublic” and protected by privacy laws and any other applicable Law.

 

Section 16.2      Security
Incidents.
  

(a)     In the event that either Party
discovers any breach of its security safeguards or measures that involves unlawful or otherwise unauthorized access, disclosure or use of the other Party’s Confidential Information, including Customer Information (each a “Security
Incident”), such Party shall, at its cost, (A) promptly notify the disclosing Party in writing, and in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours after discovery of said Security Breach, and (B) reasonably cooperate with the disclosing
Party to take commercially reasonable measures necessary to remedy any such Security Breach. The Party that has suffered such Security Breach shall, at its own expense, (i) investigate such Security Breach, (ii) to the extent practicable, remediate
the effects of such Security Breach, including all commercially reasonable actions and costs to provide notification to affected customers and regulators and provide credit monitoring to affected customers as required by law or as agreed between the
parties, and (iii) improve, where appropriate, its information security program based on the Security Breaches. For clarity, each Party shall pay all costs associated with any modifications to its systems made to protect such systems and
Confidential Information to remedy any Security Breach. The Party that has suffered such Security Breach must cooperate with all of the other Party’s reasonable requests for information regarding any Security Breach, and the Party that has
suffered the Security Breach must provide updates to the other Party on each Security Breach and the investigative action and corrective action taken.

 

(b)     Each Party acknowledges that the breach
of its obligations under this Section 16.2 may cause irreparable injury and damages, which may be difficult to ascertain. Therefore, a Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect to any breach or threatened breach of this
Section 16.2 by the other Party and its Affiliates. This provision shall not in any way limit such other remedies as may be available to any Party at law or in equity.

 

Section 16.3     OFAC Compliance. The
Administrator shall not process any premium payment or pay any claim with respect to any Reinsured Contract if such actions are prohibited under any applicable Law, including regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the
U.S. Treasury Department implementing U.S. economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

licensed in this Agreement and no right is granted hereunder for the use of the Licensed Names and Marks in connection with any services other than the Administrative Services. Other than in connection with the Administrative Services, none of the
rights licensed to the Administrator under this Section 18.2 may be assigned, sublicensed or otherwise transferred by the Administrator, nor shall such rights inure to the benefit of any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or successor of the
Administrator, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company, and any assignment, sublicense or other transfer without such consent shall be null and void. The merger of Administrator with or into another

(b)     The Administrator agrees that it will
use the Licensed Names and Marks as the Company used them prior to the Closing and that the nature of such use on the Materials (as defined below) shall be at least equal to the standard of quality maintained by the Company in connection with such
Licensed Names and Marks immediately prior to the Closing and consistent with established industry practice (collectively, the “Licensor Standards”). The Administrator agrees to make available for review, upon the Company’s
request, all materials that incorporate the Licensed Names and Marks including, but not limited to, advertising copy, labels, stickers, policies, brochures or other materials, including any applicable materials in connection with the
Administrator’s performance under this Agreement (collectively, the “Materials”). If the Company objects to the manner in which a Licensed Name or Mark is used in connection with any Materials, the Company may request that
the Administrator take, and the Administrator shall promptly take, all steps necessary to remedy any such deficiencies within fifteen (15) days after such notification, including to promptly discontinue the use of any such Materials. The
Administrator shall promptly notify the Company of any material complaints received in writing from third parties regarding the products or services offered or provided under the Licensed Names and Marks and, at the request of the Company, shall
reasonably cooperate with the Company in addressing and mitigating the circumstances giving rise to such complaints. The Administrator shall (a) permit the Company or its representatives reasonable access to such of the Administrator’s
facilities and personnel as are actively involved in use of the Licensed Names and Marks on reasonable prior written notice, and (b) make available to the Company or its representatives for inspection specimens demonstrating the
Administrator’s use of the Licensed Names and Marks on the Materials or otherwise in connection with the Licensed Names and Marks, as requested by the Company from time to time for the purpose of verifying that the Administrator’s use
complies with Licensor Standards and to the extent reasonably necessary to maintain the validity of the Licensed Names and Marks and the valuable goodwill and reputation established by the Licensed Names and Marks.

 

(c)     The Administrator agrees not to adopt
or use any service mark, logo or design confusingly similar to the Licensed Names and Marks. It is understood that the Company retains the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Licensed Names and Marks, upon reasonable prior notice to the
Administrator. Any material costs incurred by the Administrator associated with any mailings to Contractholders required under applicable Law as a result of such modification shall be reimbursed by the Company.

 

(d)     The Administrator recognizes the value
of the goodwill associated with the Licensed Names and Marks and acknowledges that, as between the Administrator and the Company, all proprietary rights therein and the goodwill attached thereto belong exclusively to the Company. All uses of the
Licensed Names and Marks by the Administrator shall, with respect to service mark ownership only, inure solely to the benefit of the Company and any registration of the Licensed Names and Marks shall be registered by the Company in its name, it
being understood that the present license shall not in any way affect the ownership by the Company of the Licensed Names and Marks, each of which shall continue to be the exclusive property of the Company. The Company shall, in its own name and at
its own expense, maintain appropriate service mark protection for the Licensed Names and Marks. The Administrator shall not at any time during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter do or cause to be done any act contesting the
validity of the Licensed Names and Marks, contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair the Company’s entire right, title and interest in the Licensed Names and Marks and the registrations

thereof or adversely affecting the value of the Licensed Names and Marks or the reputation
and goodwill of the Company. The Administrator shall not represent that it has any right, title or interest in the reputation and good will of the Company. The Administrator shall not represent that it has any right, title or interest in the
Licensed Names and Marks other than the rights expressly granted by this Agreement.
  
 (e)     Subject to the provisions of Article XIX hereof, except with respect to any uses of the Licensed Names and Marks not authorized under this
Agreement, the Company will indemnify, defend and hold the Administrator harmless from any Losses from claims that the Licensed Names and Marks infringe on the rights of third parties. Subject to the provisions of Article XIX, the
Administrator will indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless from any Losses that arise in connection with the Administrator’s use of the Licensed Names and Marks other than as authorized under this Agreement. This Section 18.2
shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

(f)     The right to institute and prosecute
actions for infringement of the Licensed Names and Marks is reserved exclusively to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to join the Administrator in any such actions as a formal party. The Company may also request, and the
Administrator shall provide, assistance with respect to any such infringement action. Any such action shall be conducted at the Company’s expense. The Administrator shall provide prompt written notice to the Company of any infringement or
unauthorized use of the Licensed Names and Marks of which it is aware, and agrees to assist the Company at the Company’s expense in any such action brought by the Company. It is understood, however, that the Company is not obligated to
institute and prosecute any such actions in any case in which it, in its sole judgment, may consider it inadvisable to do so. Any recovery obtained by the Company as a result of any such action shall belong solely to Company.

 

(g)      The agreements and covenants contained
in this Section 18.2 shall continue in effect until such time as this Agreement is terminated. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Administrator shall discontinue all use of the Licensed Names and Marks (but in no event will such use
extend beyond sixty (60) calendar days after termination). Upon any such termination, the Administrator shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to effect such discontinuance. Upon termination, all of the Administrator’s rights
to the Licensed Names and Marks shall revert to and continue to reside with and be owned exclusively by the Company.
