will indemnify Ceder, Ceder's directors, officers, employees, agents

----------------------------------
Ceder agrees that it will investigate, pay, defend or settle and
bear the sole cost and expense of all claims, surrenders and
litigation which are incurred under the Policies reinsured by it
hereunder on or before the Coinsurance Effective Date and that it
will indemnify Reinsurer, Reinsurer's directors, officers,
employees, agents and successors and assigns and agrees to hold
Reinsurer free and harmless of and from any and all loss, liability
and expense (including but not limited to extra contractual,
punitive, exemplary and/or consequential damages, reasonable
attorneys fees and court costs or settlement fees or costs) upon or
by reason of such claims, surrenders or litigation in connection

willful misconduct on the part of Ceder. In the event of a claim or
surrender payment being made or litigation expense being incurred by
Reinsurer on or before the Coinsurance Effective Date in connection
with the Policies reinsured on such Coinsurance
Effective Date, Reinsurer shall notify Ceder of such payment and Ceder shall
promptly reimburse Reinsurer to the extent of any such payment or incurred
expense. If process is served upon Ceder with respect to any of the Policies
after the Coinsurance Effective Date as to such of the Policies, Ceder shall
give prompt notice thereof to Reinsurer, and Reinsurer then, in its own name
and at its own cost and expense, may interpose any defense in, or may settle,
compromise or otherwise dispose of, such action at Reinsurer's discretion.
C. Notice
------
The party indemnified shall give the indemnifying party ten (10) days written
notice of any claims asserted against or imposed upon or incurred by the
party indemnified, for which indemnification or reimbursement may be sought
on account of the provisions of this Agreement, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not release that party from any liability which
it may have to the party indemnified otherwise than an account of the
provisions of this Agreement.
The indemnifying party may give the party indemnified written notice, within
five (5) days of receipt of written notice of claim as required above, of
its election to conduct the defense of such demand claim, action or
proceeding or other matter as set out above at its own expense. If the
indemnifying party has given the party indemnified notice of election to
conduct the defense, the party indemnified shall nevertheless have the
right to participate in the defense thereof, but such participation shall be
fully at the expense of the party indemnified without a right of further
reimbursement of the expense for such participation. If the indemnifying
party shall not notify the party indemnified of its election of the right
to defend such claim, action or proceeding, the party indemnified may, but
need not, conduct the defense of any claim, action or proceeding. The party
indemnified may at any time notify the indemnifying party of its
intention to settle, compromise or satisfy any such claim, action or
proceeding (the defense of which the indemnifying party has not previously
elected to conduct) and may make such settlement, compromise or satisfaction
(at the indemnifying party's expense) unless the indemnifying party shall
notify the party indemnified in writing within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of such notice of intention to settle, compromise or satisfy its
election to assume at its sole expense the defense of any such claim, action
or proceeding and promptly thereafter take appropriate action to implement
such defense. Any such settlement, compromise or satisfaction made by the
party indemnified or any such final judgment or decree entered in any claim,
action or proceeding defended only by the party indemnified shall be deemed
to have been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, the indemnifying
party as fully as though it alone has assumed the defense thereof and a final
judgment or decree had been entered in such proceeding or action by a court
of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement, compromise,
judgment or decree.
D. Agent Actions
-------------
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Ceder fully indemnifies
Reinsurer for any expenses or liability or obligations arising form any and
all actions taken, or omitted, by any agents marketing the Policies as if the
actions of the agents had been committed by Ceder. This indemnification
includes, but is not limited to, extracontractual liability.
ARTICLE VI
ARBITRATION
Any dispute which may arise under this Agreement between Ceder and Reinsurer
shall be settled by an equitable rather than a strictly legal interpretation
pursuant to arbitration conducted in accordance with the commercial Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. In such cases, the parties will submit
their differences to three arbiters, who shall not affiliated with the
parties or their affiliates, or subsidiaries: one to be selected by Ceder,
one to be selected by Reinsurer, and the third to be selected by the arbiters
named by the parties herein. In the event of disagreement between the
arbiters, the decisions will rest with the majority. The decision of the
majority of the arbiters shall be binding upon the parties herein without
appeal. The arbiters will be relieved of all judicial formality and may
abstain from the strict rules of law. All arbiters must either be actuaries
experienced in life insurance, lawyers whose primary practice includes
insurance regulatory law or current or former, life insurance company
executive officers.
Arbitration may be initiated by either Ceder or Reinsurer (the petitioner) by
written notice to the other party identifying the nature of the dispute,
demanding arbitration and naming its arbiter. The other party (the
respondent) shall have 10 days after receipt of said notice within which to
designate its arbiter. The third arbiter shall be chosen by the two arbiters
named by the parties within 10 days thereafter and the arbitration shall be
held at the place hereinafter set forth 10 days after the appointment of the
third arbiter. Should the two arbiters not be able to agree on the choice of
the third, then the appointment shall be as follows: Each party will chose
three arbiters, two of which shall be refused by the opposing party. The
third arbiter shall then be selected by lot from the remaining two. If the
respondent does not name its arbiter within 10 days, the petitioner may
designate the second arbiter and the respondent will not be aggrieved
thereby.
Arbitration shall take place at a site agreed upon by the arbiters. The
expense of the arbitration proceeding shall be borne by the losing party;
provided that each party shall be responsible for expenses it incurs with
respect to preparation for and presentation of evidence and witnesses at the
proceeding, including the expense of the arbiter it selects. The decision of
the arbiters may be entered as a final judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
ARTICLE VII
