          This SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (this
“Amendment”), dated as of March 30, 2006, is entered into by and between DISCOVER BANK, a
Delaware banking corporation (formerly Greenwood Trust Company), as Master Servicer, Servicer and
Seller (“Discover Bank”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (formerly First Bank National
Association, successor trustee to Bank of America Illinois, formerly Continental Bank, National
Association), as Trustee (the “Trustee”).

          WHEREAS, Discover Bank and the Trustee entered into that certain Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of October 1, 1993, as amended, which was restated in its entirety by that
certain Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2004, by and
between Discover Bank and the Trustee, relating to Discover Card Master Trust I, as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Global
Amendment to Certain Series Supplements thereto, dated as of January 4, 2006 (as amended, the
“Agreement”); and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 13.01(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, Discover Bank and the
Trustee desire to amend Sections 1.01, 3.02, 3.07 and 3.08 of the Agreement and to add a new
Article XIV to the Agreement, in a manner that shall not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series currently outstanding, in order to (a)
clarify the authority of Discover Bank, as Servicer, to commence collections actions on behalf of
the Trust in its own name and (b) establish internal mechanisms to support the Trust’s compliance
with Regulation AB (defined below).

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein contained,
each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders:

          1. Definitions. Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used in this Amendment
shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

          2. Amendments to the Agreement. Effective as of the date hereof:

     (A) Article I, Section 1.01 (“Definitions”) of the Agreement is amended by adding the
following terms, in alphabetical order therein:

          "Commission” shall mean the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

          "Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

          "Regulation AB” shall mean Subpart 229.1100 — Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17
C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1123, as such may be amended from time to time, and subject to such
clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the Commission in the adopting release
(Asset-Backed Securities, Securities Act Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (January 7,
2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from
time to time.

1

 

          "Sarbanes Certification” shall have the meaning specified in Section 14.04(c).

          "Securities Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

          "Securitization Transaction” shall mean any New Issuance, whether publicly offered or
privately placed, rated or unrated.

          "Servicing Criteria” shall mean the “servicing criteria” set forth in Item 1122(d) of

and who is required pursuant to Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB to provide an assessment of
compliance therefore. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Servicing Participant” shall not
include the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Discover Bank, as Servicer, as Regulation AB compliance
matters with respect to such entities are independently addressed in this Agreement.

     (B) Article III, Section 3.02 (“Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to
Servicers”) of the Agreement is amended by adding to clause (ii) of the penultimate sentence of
subsection 3.02(b), immediately following the phrase “to commence collection proceedings with
respect to such Receivables”, the following: “on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders but in its own name, without reference to the fact that it is acting for the
Trust”.

     (C) Article III, Section 3.07 (“Master Servicer’s and Servicers’ Annual Certificates”) of the
Agreement is amended by adding the following paragraph as a new subsection (c) of Section 3.07:

          "(c) Master Servicer’s and Servicers’ Annual Compliance Statement. On or before the Trust’s
Annual Report Date of each calendar year (and relating to the preceding fiscal year ending on
November 30), the Master Servicer and each Servicer will deliver, and the Master Servicer or the
applicable Servicer shall cause each affiliated Servicing Participant and each unaffiliated
Servicing Participant that services 10% or more of the Receivables to deliver, to the Trustee,
Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate and the Rating Agencies, an
Officer’s Certificate necessary to comply with Item 1123 of Regulation AB in substantially the form
(with appropriate insertions) of Exhibit J hereto; provided, however, that with respect to the
fiscal year ending November 30, 2006, such certificate may exclude the period of December 1, 2005
through and including December 31, 2005. A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Investor
Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.”

     (D) Article III, Section 3.08 (“Independent Public Accountants’ Annual Servicing Report”) is
amended by deleting the last two sentences of the paragraph under subsection (a) and by adding the
following paragraph as a new subsection (c) of Section 3.08:

          "(c) On or before the Trust’s Annual Report Date of each calendar year (and relating to the
preceding fiscal year ending on November 30), the Master Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally
recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other

2

 

services to the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any Seller) to furnish to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies each attestation report on assessments of compliance with
the Servicing Criteria furnished by such accountants pursuant to Sections 14.04 and 14.05 of this
Agreement.”

     (E) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Article

ARTICLE XIV

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

          SECTION 14.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of
the Seller Certificate, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Trustee acknowledge and agree
that the purpose of this Article XIV is to facilitate compliance by the Seller with the provisions
of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Neither the Master Servicer
nor any Seller shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance
under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than such Master Servicer or
Seller’s compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that
required under the Securities Act). The Trustee agrees to cooperate in good faith with any
reasonable request by the Master Servicer or any Seller for information regarding the Trustee which
is required in order to enable such Master Servicer or Seller to comply with the provisions of
Regulation AB as it relates to the Trustee or to the Trustee’s obligations under this Agreement or
any Series Supplement, provided that such information is available to the Trustee without
unreasonable expense or effort and within the timeframe as is reasonably requested. The Master
Servicer and each Servicer agrees to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request by the
Master Servicer or any Seller for information regarding the Master Servicer or such Servicer (or
any Servicing Participant that it engages) which is required in order to enable such Master
Servicer or Seller to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB as it relates to the Master
Servicer or such Servicer or to the Master Servicer or such Servicer’s obligations under this
Agreement or any Series Supplement or the obligations of any Servicing Participant that it engages
under any servicing or subservicing agreement to the extent related to servicing the Receivables,
provided that such information is available to the Master Servicer and each Servicer without
unreasonable expense or effort and within the timeframe as is reasonably requested. Terms used in
this Article XIV that are defined in Regulation AB but are not defined in Section 1.01 of this
Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Regulation AB.

          SECTION 14.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be
deemed to represent to the Master Servicer and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate, as of the date on which information is provided under Section 14.03 that, except as
disclosed in writing to the Master Servicer and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate prior to such date to the best of its knowledge: (i) neither the execution, delivery
and performance by the Trustee of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, the performance by the
Trustee of its obligations under this Agreement or any Series Supplement nor the consummation of
any of the transactions by the Trustee contemplated thereby, is in violation of any indenture,
mortgage, bank credit agreement, note or

3

 

 bond purchase agreement, long-term lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Trustee is a party or
by which it is bound, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the Trustee’s ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Series Supplement, or of any judgment or
order applicable to the Trustee; and (ii) there are no proceedings pending or threatened against
the Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or
tribunal which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the
right, power and authority of the Trustee to enter into this Agreement or any Series Supplement or
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Series Supplement.

the form (with appropriate insertions) of Exhibit K hereto, and (ii) as promptly as practicable
following notice to or discovery by the Trustee of any changes to such information, provide to the
Master Servicer and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, in writing,
such updated information.

          (b) The Trustee shall (i) in connection with any Securitization Transaction which requires a
prospectus, prospectus supplement, offering memorandum or related documents, provide to the Master
Servicer and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate such information
regarding the Trustee as is requested and within the timeframe as is reasonably requested for the
purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1109(a), 1109(b), 1118 and 1119 of Regulation AB, and

such Securitization Transaction, the Agreement and any Series Supplement that currently exists or

Investor Certificates.

                                    PREAMBLE

1)    Parties to the Agreement. This is a Coinsurance Funds Withheld Agreement
      for indemnity reinsurance (the "Agreement") solely between Seguros de Vida
      Triple-S, Inc., San Juan, Puerto Rico (the "Reinsurer"), and Great
      American Life Assurance Company of Puerto Rico a/k/a Great American PR,
      Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico (the "Company"), collectively referred to as the
      "parties".

      The acceptance of risks under this Agreement will create no right or legal
      relationship between the Reinsurer and the insured, owner or beneficiary
      of any insurance policy or other contract of the Company.

      The Agreement will be binding upon the Company and the Reinsurer and their
      respective successors and assigns.

2)    Compliance. This Agreement applies only to the issuance of insurance by
      the Company in a jurisdiction in which it is properly licensed.

      The Company represents that it is in compliance with all laws applicable
      to the business reinsured under this Agreement. In the event that the
      Company is found to be in non-compliance with any law material to this
      Agreement, the Agreement will remain in effect and the Company will
      indemnify the Reinsurer for any loss (including any costs and expenses
      relating to such loss) the Reinsurer suffers as a result of the
      non-compliance, and will seek to remedy, at the Company's sole expense,
      the non-compliance immediately upon discovery thereof.

3)    Construction. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws
      under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

4)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
      the parties with respect to the business reinsured hereunder. There are no
      understandings between the parties other than as expressed in this
      Agreement. Any change or modification to this Agreement will be null and
      void unless made by amendment to this Agreement and signed by both
      parties.

5)    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
      invalid or unenforceable, such determination will not impair or affect the
      validity or the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
      Agreement.

6)    Assignment. Neither party may assign, transfer, sell, convey or otherwise
      dispose of any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement
      without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall
      not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the parties
      acknowledge and agree that the Reinsurer may retrocede any or all of its
      reinsured net amount at risk hereunder.

                              AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE

1)    General Conditions. On and after the effective date of this Agreement, the
      Company will automatically cede, in respect of all new business written as
      of and after the effective date, to the Reinsurer that portion (69%) of
      the life insurance, annuities, accident and supplemental health,
      supplementary benefits, and riders referred to in Exhibit B, net of Third
      Party = Reinsurers.

      The Reinsurer will automatically accept its share of the above-referenced
      policies up to the limits shown in Exhibit C and will pay its share of
      claims made against or under such policies (as of and after the effective
      date), provided that:

      a.    the Company keeps its full retention, as specified in Exhibit A, or
            otherwise holds its full retention on a life under previously issued
            inforce policies (and does not transfer, assign, convey, reinsure or
            otherwise dispose of such retention without the Reinsurer's prior
            written consent);

      b.    The insured is a resident of a territory listed in Exhibit C.

1)    The Reinsurer's liability will commence on December 22, 2005 and will
      continue in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
      and will end at the same time as that of the Company as specified in the
      terms of each of the policies subject to reinsurance by the Reinsurer
      hereunder. Payment by the Company to the Reinsurer of reinsurance premium
      is a condition precedent to the Reinsurer's liability hereunder.

                              REINSURED RISK AMOUNT

1)    Coinsurance plans. Reinsurance premiums are equal to the gross premiums
      collected on the amounts retained by the Company on the business reinsured
      multiplied by the reinsurer's coinsurance percentage as defined in Exhibit
      C.

2)    Waiver of Premium and Payor Benefits (as applicable) shall be on a
      coinsured basis in accordance with the benefit form issued by the Company.
      The Reinsurer's amount at risk shall be in proportion to the net amount at
      risk on the underlying policy.

3)    Accidental Death Benefit (as applicable) shall be on a coinsurance basis.
      The Reinsurer's amount at risk shall not exceed the amount in Exhibit C.

                               PREMIUM ACCOUNTING

1)    Premiums. Reinsurance premium rates for life insurance, accident and
      supplemental health insurance and other benefits reinsured under this
      Agreement are gross premiums charged by the Company multiplied by the
      reinsurer's coinsurance percentage shown in Exhibit C.

2)    Payment of Premiums and Reporting. Reinsurance premiums are payable
      quarterly and in arrears. Each quarter the Company will self-administer
      the calculation and payment of reinsurance premium due and, within thirty
      (30) days after the end of the quarter, will send the Reinsurer a report
      that contains the information shown in Exhibit D, showing reinsurance
      premiums due for that quarter. If an amount is due the Reinsurer, the
      Company will remit that amount in cash together with the statement. The
      Company will furnish to the Reinsurer upon the Reinsurer's request all
      such supporting documentation underlying the quarterly premium
      computations as the Reinsurer may request, and shall confer with the
      Reinsurer, upon the request of the Reinsurer, to address any uncertainties
      in such quarterly premium computations. See Exhibit H, "Accounting and
      Cash Transfer Provisions", the provisions of which are incorporated
      herein.

3)    Failure to Pay Premiums. The payment of reinsurance premiums, as and when
      due under the terms hereof, is a condition precedent to the liability of
      the Reinsurer for reinsurance covered by this Agreement. In the event that
      reinsurance premiums are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date,
      the Reinsurer will have the right to terminate the reinsurance under all
      policies having reinsurance premiums in arrears. If the Reinsurer elects
      to exercise its right of termination, it will give the Company thirty (30)
      days written notice of termination (the date of the giving of such notice,
      the "Notice Date"), and termination will be effective on and as of the
      date which is 30 days following the Notice Date.

      If all reinsurance premiums in arrears, including any that become in
      arrears during the thirty- day notice period, are not paid before the
      expiration of the notice period, the Reinsurer will be relieved of all
      liability under those policies as of the last date to which premiums have
      been paid for each less any cash values or recapture reserve amounts due.
      Reinsurance on policies on which reinsurance premiums subsequently fall
      due will automatically terminate as of the last date to which premiums
      have been paid for each policy, unless reinsurance premiums on those
      policies are paid on or before their Remittance Dates. Reinsurance Premium
      in arrears shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 6% per annum.

      Terminated reinsurance may be reinstated, subject to approval by the
      Reinsurer, within sixty (60) days of the date of termination, and upon
      payment of all reinsurance premiums in arrears including any interest
      accrued thereon. The Reinsurer will have no liability for any claims
      incurred between the date of termination and the date of the reinstatement
      of the reinsurance. The right to terminate reinsurance will not prejudice
      the Reinsurer's right to collect premiums for the period during which
      reinsurance was in force prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day
      notice.

      The Company will not force termination under the provisions of this
      Article solely to avoid the provisions regarding recapture in Article X,
      or to transfer the reinsured policies to another reinsurer.

                                       8

4)    Although the Reinsurer anticipates that the premium rates and allowances
      in Exhibit E will apply indefinitely, these rates and allowances are
      guaranteed only to the extent that the Company guarantees its rates to its
      policyholders, and only so long as the Company does not modify either the
      premiums or cost-of-insurance charges of the underlying policies. To the
      extent the Company modifies premium or cost-of-insurance charges on the
      underlying policies, or otherwise adjusts the rates the Company charges to
      its policyholders, the Reinsurer may modify the reinsurance premium rates
      and allowances in Exhibit E, in which case the Company may recapture such
      underlying policies based upon terms mutually acceptable to the Company
      and the Reinsurer.

5)    Electronic Data Transmission. If the Company chooses to report its
      reinsurance transactions via electronic media, the Company shall consult
      with the Reinsurer to determine the appropriate reporting format. Should
      the Company subsequently desire to make changes in the data format or the
      code structure, the Company shall communicate such changes to the
      Reinsurer in writing prior to the use of such changes in reports to the
      Reinsurer and shall describe in reasonable detail such proposed changes.
      Changes in Plan codes and Smoker codes shall be described with
      particularity.

6)    Unearned Premium. The Reinsurer will follow the practices of the Company
      with regard to refund of premium upon death, surrender, or other
      termination.

                           COINSURANCE FUNDS WITHHELD

The reinsurance hereunder shall be on a quota share Coinsurance Funds Withheld
basis. The quota share reinsured shall be 69%. Funds withheld will be defined at
inception as equal to the reinsurance share of the initial reserves (69%) . The
Reinsurer's funds withheld asset will be supported by the Company's specific
assets listed in Exhibit F and the Company has agreed to hold these assets
(listed therein) in trust on behalf of the Reinsurer with those assets being
deposited in such trust within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date. . The
value of the assets held in trust shall, in the aggregate, approximate as
closely as possible the amount of the Reinsurer's Funds Withheld; where the
value of the assets is less than the amount of Funds Withheld (and it is not
contemplated by the parties that the difference would be a material difference)
the Company shall deposit cash into the trust so that the value of the assets in
trust taken together with the cash equals the amount of the Reinsurer's Funds
Withheld. The assets will be held in trust, and no other assets will be added to
the trust except that, in the event that one or more assets held in trust
matures during the term of the trust, the Company, subject to the prior
agreement of the Reinsurer, will substitute such asset or assets for another
asset or assets of equal value to the asset or assets (as the case may be) which
have matured, and which is or are otherwise acceptable to the Reinsurer. The
interest payable to the Reinsurer on the funds withheld will be as set for in
Exhibit H.

As used herein, the term "initial reserves" means the difference between (A) an
amount equal to the sum of amounts shown on liability (page 3) lines 1 through 8
and 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 of the Company's Annual Statement as filed with the Office
of the Commissioner of Insurance of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the "Annual
Statement"), and (B) the amount equal to the sum of the amounts shown as
admitted assets on asset lines 12.1 and 12.2 of the Annual Statement; provided
it is understood and agreed that for purposes of computation contemplated
hereunder the Company's initial reserves as of December 31, 2005 shall be deemed
to be the Company's initial reserves as of the effective date of the Agreement.

The Reinsurer shall establish, on its statutory financial statements for each
reporting period, reserves and other financial items on a basis consistent with
the reinsurance share of the initial reserves.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                      REDUCTIONS, TERMINATIONS AND CHANGES

Whenever a change is made in the status, plan, amount or other material feature
of a policy reinsured under this Agreement, the Reinsurer will, upon receipt of
notification of the change, provide adjusted reinsurance coverage in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. The Company will notify the Reinsurer of
any such change with the next statement following the month in which the change
was made.

1)    Reductions and Terminations

      In the event of the reduction, lapse, or termination of a policy or
      policies reinsured under this Agreement or any other agreement, the
      Company will reduce or terminate reinsurance on that life. The reinsured
      amount on the life with all reinsurers will be reduced, effective on the
      same date, by the amount required such that the Company maintains its
      retention as defined under this Agreement.

      The Reinsurer will refund any unearned reinsurance premiums net of
      allowances. However, the reinsured portion of any policy fee (if
      applicable - See Exhibit E) will be deemed earned for a policy year if the
      policy is reinsured during any portion of that policy year.

2)    Increases

      For policies reinsured under this Agreement, reinsurance of increases in
      amounts resulting from contractual policy provisions will be accepted only
      up to the Automatic Binding Limits shown in Exhibit C.

3)    Reinstatement. If a policy reinsured on an automatic basis is reinstated
      in accordance with its terms and in accordance with Company rules and
      procedures (a copy of which shall have been provided to the Reinsurer
      prior to, or at, the date hereof), the Reinsurer will, upon notification
      of reinstatement, reinstate the reinsurance coverage. The Company will
      promptly furnish the Reinsurer with a copy of any amendment made from time
      to time to the Company's rules and procedures.

      Upon reinstatement of the reinsurance coverage, the Company will pay the
      contractual reinsurance premiums plus accrued interest for the period and
      at the interest rate stated in Article V, paragraph 3.

4)    Nonforfeiture Benefits

      a.    Extended Term

            If the original policy lapses and extended term insurance is elected
            under the terms of the policy, reinsurance will continue on the same
            basis (subject to other provisions of this Agreement) as under the
            original policy until the expiry of the extended term period.

                                       11

<PAGE>

      b.    Reduced Paid-up

            The amount reinsured and the amount retained will be reduced
            proportionately.

5)    Cash Surrenders. The Reinsurer will reimburse the Company for its
      proportionate share of the cash surrender amount payable by the Company
      upon surrender of the policy less any outstanding policy loans.

6)    Policy Loans. The Reinsurer shall participate in policy loans and other
      forms of indebtedness on policies reinsured under this Agreement. See
      Exhibit H, the relevant terms of which are incorporated herein.

                            WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

1)    The Company warrants and covenants that no policy reinsured under this
      Agreement may be converted, exchanged or replaced by another policy or
      policy form on a non-contractual basis within the Company. Unless mutually
      agreed otherwise, policies that are not reinsured with the Reinsurer under
      this Agreement and that exchange or convert to a plan covered under this
      Agreement will not be reinsured hereunder and will be expressly excluded
      from coverage hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                     CLAIMS

Claims covered under this Agreement include only claims which are those due to
the death, injury or illness of the insured on a policy reinsured under this
Agreement, and any additional benefits specified in Exhibit B, which are
provided by the underlying policy and are reinsured under this Agreement.

1)    Notice. The Reinsurer reserves the right to review any claim on a policy
      reinsured under this Agreement.

2)    Proofs. If so requested , the Company will promptly provide the Reinsurer
      with proper claim proofs, including a copy of the proof of payment by the
      Company, and a copy of the insured's death certificate. In addition, for
      contestable claims, if so requested the Company will send to the Reinsurer
      a copy of all papers and information in connection with the claim.

3)    Amount and Payment of Reinsurance Benefits. The Reinsurer will promptly
      pay the reinsurance benefits due the Company according to the quarterly
      statement process in effect under this Agreement. The Company's
      contractual liability for policies reinsured under this Agreement is
      binding on the Reinsurer. However, for claims incurred during the
      contestable period, if the total amount of reinsurance ceded to all
      reinsurers on the policy is greater than the amount retained by the
      Company, or if the Company retained less than its usual retention on the
      policy, the Company will consult with the Reinsurer in accordance with
      paragraph 4 below before conceding liability or making settlement to the
      claimant.

      The total reinsurance recoverable from all companies will not exceed the
      Company's total contractual liability on the policy, less the amount
      retained. The maximum reinsurance benefit payable to the Company under
      this Agreement is the risk amount specifically reinsured with the
      Reinsurer (69%), subject to all the other provisions of the this
      Agreement. The Reinsurer will also pay its proportionate share of the
      interest that the Company pays on the death proceeds until the date of
      settlement except if settlement is delayed as a result of a dispute or
      contest arising out of conflicting claims of entitlement to policy
      proceeds or benefits, then the Reinsurer will pay its share of interest to
      the date settlement would have been made if there were no dispute or
      contest.

      Life benefit payments will be made in a single sum, regardless of the
      Company's settlement options; provided, however, that such single sum will
      exclude interest that accrues on settlement options other than single pay.

<PAGE>

      The reinsurance benefit for an approved Waiver of Premium claim will be
      the Reinsurer's proportionate share of the annual gross premium waived on
      the policy. The Company will continue to pay the life reinsurance premium;
      however, it will not pay the reinsurance premium for the waiver benefit
      for the duration of the waiver claim period. The Reinsurer will pay waiver
      benefits consistent with the Company's mode of premium payment specified
      in the policy.

4)    Contested Claims. The Company will promptly notify the Reinsurer of its
      intention to contest, compromise, or litigate a claim over $250,000
      involving a reinsured policy. The Company will also promptly and fully
      disclose to the reinsurer all information relating to the claim. Upon
      receipt of all documents, the Reinsurer will have five (5) working days to
      notify the Company in writing of its decision to accept participation in
      the contest, compromise, or litigation. If the Reinsurer has accepted
      participation, the Company will promptly advise the Reinsurer of all
      developments in the claim investigation, including notification of any
      legal proceedings against it in response to denial of the claim. At the
      request of the Reinsurer, the Company will confer with the Reinsurer to
      advise it of the status of the investigation, litigation or discussions
      relating thereto, and will instruct any counsel retained to act on behalf
      of the Company in connection with the investigation, litigation or related
      negotiations, to confer with the Reinsurer, upon request of the Reinsurer,
      regarding the status of the investigation, litigation or related
      negotiations. In particular, the Company will arrange for the Reinsurer
      (should the Reinsurer request the same) to participate in discussions with
      the Company's counsel at the initiation of the contest and prior to the
      time when the Reinsurer must elect to participate or not participate in
      the investigation or litigation, as the case may be.

      If the Reinsurer does not accept participation, the Reinsurer will then
      fulfill its obligation by paying the Company its full share of the
      reinsurance amount, and will not share in any subsequent reduction or
      increase in liability, and will not share in loss adjustment expenses or
      extracontractual obligations.

      If the Reinsurer accepts participation and the Company's contest,
      compromise, or litigation results in a reduction or increase in liability,
      the Reinsurer will share in any such reduction or increase in proportion
      to its share of the risk on the contested policy.

5)    Claim Expenses. The Reinsurer will pay its share of reasonable claim
      investigation and legal expenses (not to exceed 69% of all such expenses)
      connected with the litigation or settlement of contractual liability
      claims unless the Reinsurer has discharged its liability pursuant to
      Section IX 4) above. If the Reinsurer has so discharged its liability, the
      Reinsurer will not participate in any expenses incurred thereafter.

      The Reinsurer will not reimburse the Company for routine claim and
      administration expenses, including but not limited to the Company's home
      office expenses, compensation of salaried officers and employees, and any
      legal expenses other than third party expenses incurred by the Company
      (which legal expenses shall be borne as provided in the immediately
      preceding paragraph). Claim investigation expenses do not include expenses
      incurred by the Company as a result of a dispute or contest arising out of
      conflicting claims of entitlement to policy proceeds or benefits.

6)    Misrepresentation or Suicide. If the Company returns premium to the
      policyowner or beneficiary as a result of misrepresentation or suicide of
      the insured, the Reinsurer will refund net reinsurance premiums received
      on that policy without interest to the Company in lieu of any other form
      of reinsurance benefit payable under this Agreement.

                                       15

<PAGE>

7)    Misstatement of Age or Sex. In the event of a change in the amount of the
      Company's liability on a reinsured policy due to a misstatement of age or
      sex, the Reinsurer's liability will change proportionately. The face
      amount of the reinsured policy will be adjusted from the inception of the
      policy, and any difference in premiums net of allowances will be settled
      without interest.

8)    Extra-Contractual Damages. The Reinsurer will not participate in punitive
      or compensatory damages that are awarded against the Company as a result
      of an act, omission, or course of conduct committed by the Company, its
      agents, or representatives in connection with claims covered under this
      Agreement. If the Reinsurer elected in writing to join in the contest of
      the coverage in question, the Reinsurer will pay its share (not to exceed
      69% of all statutory penalties) of statutory penalties awarded against the
      Company in connection with claims covered under this Agreement.

      The parties recognize that circumstances may arise in which equity would
      require the Reinsurer, to the extent permitted by law, to share
      proportionately in punitive and compensatory damages. The parties agree
      that such circumstances are limited to those situations in which the
      Reinsurer recommended in writing, consented to in writing, or ratified in
      writing, the act or course of conduct of the Company that ultimately
      resulted in the assessment of the extra-contractual damages. In such
      situations, the Reinsurer and the Company will share such damages so
      assessed, in equitable proportions.

      For purposes of this Article, the following definitions will apply.

      "Punitive Damages" are those damages awarded as a penalty, the amount of
      which is neither governed nor fixed by statute.

      "Compensatory Damages" are those amounts awarded to compensate for the
      actual damages sustained, and are not awarded as a penalty, nor fixed in
      amount by statute.

      "Statutory Penalties" are those amounts awarded as a penalty, but are
      fixed in amount by statute.

                                    RECAPTURE

Any recapture will be based upon terms to be mutually agreeable to the Company
and the Reinsurer. After the effective date of recapture, the Reinsurer will not
be liable for any reinsured policies or portions of such reinsured policies
eligible for recapture that the Company has overlooked. A change to the
Company's maximum retention limits will not affect the reinsured policies in
force except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

1)    Currency. All payments and reporting by both parties under this Agreement
      will be made in the currency specified in Exhibit C.

2)    Premium Tax. The Reinsurer will reimburse the Company for premium taxes
      based on the reinsurer's coinsurance percentage.

3)    Inspection of Records. The Reinsurer and the Company, or their duly
      authorized representatives, will have the right to inspect and audit
      original papers, records, and all documents relating to the business
      reinsured under this Agreement including but not limited to underwriting,
      claims processing, and administration. Such access will be provided during
      regular business hours at the office of the inspected party. The Reinsurer
      may suspend payments relating to matters in dispute that arise from such
      inspection and audit until such dispute is resolved by the parties either
      through mutual agreement or by arbitration in accordance with Article XIV.

4)    USA Patriot Act and Blocked Persons. The Company covenants to the
      Reinsurer that it will comply with United States Treasury Department's
      Office of Foreign Assets Control and USA Patriot Act requirements (the
      "Laws") in connection with the payment of claims, and agrees that all
      claims paid by the Company in violation of the Laws will not be reinsured
      under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges
      and agrees that the Reinsurer has no liability for claims paid by the
      Company in violation of the Laws ("Excluded Claims"); provided, however,
      that the Reinsurer shall reimburse the Company for all premiums received
      by the Reinsurer, less expense allowances (including commissions and
      premium taxes, etc.) paid by the Reinsurer, regarding the policies to
      which such Excluded Claims relate. The Company agrees to indemnify and
      hold harmless the Reinsurer from and against any and all sanctions,
      penalties, assessments and other liabilities (including the fees of
      counsel) suffered or incurred by the Reinsurer arising from, relating to
      or in connection with the payment of an Excluded Claim.

5)    Off-Set. Any debts or credits, in favor of or against either the Reinsurer
      or the Company with respect to this Agreement are deemed mutual debts or
      credits and may be offset, and only the balance will be allowed or paid.

      The right of offset will not be affected or diminished because of the
      insolvency of either party.

      See Exhibit H for relevant provisions thereof.

6)    Errors and Omissions. If through unintentional error, oversight, omission,
      or misunderstanding (collectively referred to as "errors"), the Reinsurer
      or the Company fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement and if,
      upon discovery of the error by either party, the other is promptly
      notified, each thereupon will be restored to the position it would have
      occupied if the error had not occurred, including interest.

<PAGE>

      If it is not possible to restore each party to the position it would have
      occupied but for the error, the parties will endeavor in good faith to
      promptly resolve the situation in a manner that is fair and reasonable,
      and most closely approximates the intent of the parties as evidenced by
      this Agreement.

      For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that this paragraph 6
      relates only to clerical and ministerial errors. However, the Reinsurer
      will not provide reinsurance for policies that do not satisfy the
      parameters of this Agreement, nor will the Reinsurer be responsible for
      negligent or deliberate acts or for repetitive errors in administration by
      the Company. If either party discovers that the Company has failed to cede
      reinsurance as provided in this Agreement, or failed to comply with its
      reporting requirements, the Reinsurer may require the Company to audit its
      records for similar errors and to take the actions necessary to avoid
      similar errors in the future.

7)    Company Forms and Rates. The Company will furnish the Reinsurer with a
      copy of its application forms, policy and rider forms, premium and
      nonforfeiture values, reserve tables, and any other forms or tables needed
      for proper handling of reinsurance under this contract. The Company will
      advise the Reinsurer in writing of any changes to existing forms,
      nonforfeiture values and reserve tables, or new forms it may adopt.

1)    Insolvency. The Company will be deemed insolvent when it:

      a.    applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver,
            rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator or statutory successor of its
            properties or assets; or

      b.    is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent; or

      c.    files or consents to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, seeks
            reorganization to avoid insolvency or makes formal application for
            any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or similar law or statute;
            or

      d.    becomes the subject of an order to rehabilitate or an order to
            liquidate as defined by the insurance code of the jurisdiction of
            the party's domicile.

2)    Insolvency of the Company. In the event of the insolvency of the Company,
      all reinsurance payments due under this Agreement will be payable directly
      to the liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or statutory successor of the
      Company, without diminution because of the insolvency, for those claims
      allowed against the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by
      the liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or statutory successor having
      authority to allow such claims.

      In the event of insolvency of the Company, the liquidator, rehabilitator,
      receiver, or statutory successor will give written notice to the Reinsurer
      of all pending claims against the Company on any policies reinsured within
      a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding.
      While a claim is pending, the Reinsurer may investigate and interpose, at
      its own expense, in the proceeding where the claim is adjudicated, any
      defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Company or its
      liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or statutory successor.

      The expense incurred by the Reinsurer will 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 that may accrue to the
      Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.
      Where two or more reinsurers are participating in the same claim and a
      majority in interest elect to interpose a defense or defenses to any such
      claim, the expense will be apportioned in accordance with the terms of
      this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

      The Reinsurer will be liable only for the amounts reinsured and will not
      be or become liable for any amounts or reserves to be held by the Company
      on policies reinsured under this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                REINSURER'S RIGHT OF NOTICE OF UNUSUAL PRACTICES

IN providing reinsurance facilities to the Company under this Agreement, the
Reinsurer has granted the Company considerable authority with respect to
automatic binding power, reinstatements, claim settlements, and the general
administration of the reinsurance account. The Reinsurer assumes that, except as
otherwise notified in writing by the Company, and agreed to in writing by the
Reinsurer, the underwriting, claims and other insurance practices employed by
the Company with respect to reinsurance ceded under this Agreement are
consistent with the customary and usual practices of the insurance industry as a
whole. Where the Company does engage in exceptional or uncustomary practices or
implements a change in its underwriting rules or guidelines, with respect to
business covered under this Agreement, the Company agrees to advise the
Reinsurer in writing forty-five (45) days prior to implementing such practice or
change and receive a written acceptance of said practice or change from the
Reinsurer before assigning any liability to the Reinsurer with respect to any
reinsurance issued under or impacted or effected by such practice or change. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that its covenant to the Reinsurer to so advise
the Reinsurer of any exceptional or uncustomary practice or implementation of
such a change is a material inducement to the Reinsurer agreeing to enter into
this Agreement, and absent such a covenant, the Reinsurer would not have entered
into this Agreement. In the event the Company does not receive written
acceptance from the Reinsurer of the proposed change in practice, or the
Reinsurer declines to accept the change in practice proposed by the Company,
then no liability shall be assumed by the Reinsurer with respect to any policy
issued by the Company under, or effected by, such practice or change.

                                   ARBITRATION

It is the intention of the Reinsurer and the Company that the customs and
practices of the life insurance and reinsurance industry will be given full
effect in the operation and interpretation of this Agreement. The parties agree
to act in all matters with the highest good faith. However, if the Reinsurer and
the Company cannot mutually resolve a dispute that arises out of or relates to
this Agreement, the dispute will be decided through arbitration as a precedent
to any right of action hereunder.

To initiate arbitration, either the Company or the Reinsurer will notify the
other party in writing of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of its
dispute and the remedy sought. The party to which the notice is sent will
respond to the notification in writing within fifteen (15) days of its receipt.

There will be three arbitrators who will be current or former senior officers of
life insurance or life reinsurance companies other than the parties to this
Agreement, their affiliates or subsidiaries. Each of the parties will appoint
one of the arbitrators and these two arbitrators will select the third. If
either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within sixty (60) days
of the initiation of the arbitration, the other party may appoint the second
arbitrator. If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within
thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, then the
appointment of the third arbitrator shall be from the ARIAS-U.S. list of
certified arbitrators.

Once chosen, the arbitrators are empowered to select the site of the arbitration
and decide all substantive and procedural issues by a majority of votes. As soon
as possible, the arbitrators will establish arbitration procedures as warranted
by the facts and issues of the particular case. The arbitrators will have the
power to determine all procedural rules of the arbitration, including but not
limited to inspection of documents, examination of witnesses and any other
matter relating to the conduct of the arbitration. The arbitrators may consider
any relevant evidence; they will weigh the evidence and consider any objections.
Each party may examine any witnesses who testify at the arbitration hearing.

The arbitrators will base their decision on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the customs and practices of the life insurance and reinsurance
industries rather than on strict interpretation of the law. The decision of the
arbitrators will be made by majority rule and will be submitted in writing. The
decision will be final and binding on both parties and there will be no appeal
from the decision. Either party to the arbitration may petition any court having
jurisdiction over the parties to reduce the decision to judgment.

Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party will bear the expense of its
own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and any outside
attorney and witness fees. The parties will jointly and equally bear the expense
of the third arbitrator and other costs of the arbitration.

This Article will survive termination of this Agreement.

                                 CONFIDENTIALITY

The Company and the Reinsurer agree that Customer and Proprietary Information
will be treated as confidential. Customer Information includes, but is not
limited to, medical, financial, and other personal information about proposed,
current, and former policyowners, insureds, applicants, and beneficiaries of
policies issued by the Company. Proprietary Information includes, but is not
limited to, business plans and trade secrets, mortality and lapse studies,
underwriting manuals and guidelines, applications and contract forms, and the
specific terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Customer and Proprietary Information will not include information that:
a.    is or becomes available to the general public through no fault of the
      party receiving the Customer or Proprietary Information (the "Recipient");

b.    is independently developed by the Recipient;

c.    is acquired by the Recipient from a third party not covered by a

      confidentiality agreement; or
d.    is disclosed under a court order, law or regulation.

The parties will not disclose such information to any other parties unless
agreed to in writing, except as necessary for retrocession purposes, as
requested by external auditors, as required by court order, or as required or
allowed by law or regulation. The Company acknowledges that the Reinsurer can
aggregate data with other companies reinsured with the Reinsurer provided that
the Reinsurer acts reasonably to ensure that the data cannot be identified as
belonging to the Company.

      b.    "per policy" administrative expense allowances shall be calculated
            as 69% of the amounts shown, multiplied by the average of the
            numbers of policies of each type inforce at the beginning and the
            end of the quarter.

      c.    Commission allowances shall be calculated on the basis of 69% of

                                    EXHIBIT H

                     ACCOUNTING AND CASH TRANSFER PROVISIONS

1.    Accounting and Cash Transfer Provisions

2.    Initial funds withheld. No cash transfers on the Effective Date. The
      ceding commission and the funds withheld are accomplished as described in
      Article VI. As noted in Article VI, certain assets (detailed in Exhibit F)
      are to be held in trust by the company for the benefit of the reinsurer.
      Interest on these assets shall accrue to the benefit of the reinsurer from
      January 1, 2006, without regard to the date on which they are actually
      placed in the Trust.

3.    Tracking from December 22 through December 31, 2005. The parties agree
      that for accounting purposes, actual tracking of premiums, claims, and
      allowances shall commence on January 1, 2006. In place of such actual
      tracking for the period December 22 - December 31, 2005, the parties agree
      to deem that the result of such tracking would have been a net payment of
      $400,000 from the company to the Reinsurer; such payment will be included
      in the first quarterly settlement.

4.    First quarterly settlement. The first quarterly settlement shall be for
      the quarter ending March 31, 2006.

5.    Elements of each quarterly settlement. The Company shall pay to the
      reinsurer a net amount calculated as follows (which, if negative, shall
      mean that the reinsurer pays the amount to the company) calculated as A x
      B, where A =

      a.    Reinsurance premiums for the quarter, calculated as in Article V
            (1), on a basis consistent with the reporting of premiums on line 1
            of the "Analysis of Operations by Lines of Business" page of the
            statutory financial statement, minus

      b.    Claims for the quarter, calculated as in Article IX, on a basis
            consistent with the reporting of claims on lines 10 through 17 of
            the "Analysis of Operations by Lines of Business" page of the
            statutory financial statement, minus

      c.    Expense allowances for the quarter, calculated as set forth in
            Exhibit E, plus

      d.    (for the March 31, 2006 settlement only) $165,000, plus

      e.    Interest earned (whether or not received by the company) during the
            quarter on assets held in the trust, plus

      f.    An adjustment for policy loans, equal to [i1 minus i2] x [mean
            policy loan asset for the quarter], where
            i1    = net earned rate of interest for the quarter on policy loans
                  and i2 = net earned rate of interest for the Quarter on all
                  other assets of the Company.

      And B = 1.0125 if the net payment is made within 30 days following the end
      of the quarter, and (1.0125 plus .0002N) otherwise, where N is the number
      of days in excess of 30 from the end of the quarter until the date of
      payment.
