For greater certainty, the amount of trust Assets held in trust shall at no time be less than a minimum of an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate liability ceded (if greater than zero) plus 70% of the offsetting reserves ceded (MCCSR Guideline section 1.2.3.2) plus 150% of the Regulatory Required Capital for the Ceded Business as defined by the MCCSR Guideline.
