All terms not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Coinsurance Agreements (as hereinafter defined).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Grantor desires to transfer to the Trustee for deposit to a trust account (the “Trust Account”) certain assets as security for the payment and performance by the Grantor of its obligations under the Coinsurance Agreements; and

WHEREAS, the Trustee has agreed to act as Trustee hereunder, and to hold such assets in trust in the Trust Account for the sole use and benefit of the Beneficiary for such purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Trust Agreement; and

WHEREAS, this Trust Agreement is made for the sole use and benefit of the Beneficiary and for the purpose of setting forth the duties and powers of the Trustee with respect to the Trust Account;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Deposit of Assets to the Trust Account.

(a) The Grantor hereby establishes the Trust Account with the Trustee for the sole use and benefit of the Beneficiary, under the terms set forth herein. The Trustee shall administer the Trust Account in its name as Trustee for the sole benefit of the Beneficiary. The Trust

Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Beneficiary solely as provided herein. The Trustee hereby accepts the Trust Account upon the terms set forth in this Trust Agreement.

(b) The Grantor shall transfer to the Trustee, for deposit to the Trust Account, such assets as may be required from time to time pursuant to the Coinsurance Agreements (all such assets are herein referred to individually as an “Asset” and collectively as the “Assets”). The Trustee is authorized and shall have power to receive the Assets from the Grantor and to hold, invest, reinvest and dispose of the same for the uses and purposes of and according to the provisions herein set forth. All Assets shall be maintained by the Trustee in the Trust Account separate and distinct from all other assets on the books of the Trustee and in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. The Assets shall consist only of Eligible Securities (as hereinafter defined). In the event of any payment default as to any Asset in the Trust Account or in the event that any Asset no longer is an Eligible Security, the Grantor shall, within five (5) business days after receiving notice from the Trustee pursuant to Section 19 or the Grantor having knowledge of such default or ineligibility, substitute other Assets which meet the requirements of an Eligible Security and having a statutory book value equal to the statutory book value of such Asset, which has a payment default or no longer meets the requirements for an Eligible Security, on the last statement provided by the Trustee.

(c) The Grantor hereby represents and warrants (i) that, to the extent practicable, any Assets transferred by the Grantor to the Trustee for deposit to the Trust Account will be in such form that the Beneficiary whenever necessary may, and the Trustee upon direction by the Beneficiary will, negotiate any such Assets without consent or signature from the Grantor or any other person or entity in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement, (ii) that all Assets transferred by the Grantor to the Trustee for deposit into the Trust Account consist only of Eligible Securities, and (iii) that Grantor has at the time of transfer into this Trust Account good and marketable title to the Assets to be so transferred and each such Asset shall be at the time of transfer free and clear of all claims, liens, interests and encumbrances (other than those arising under this Trust Agreement).

(d) Prior to depositing the Assets into the Trust Account, and from time to time thereafter as required, the Grantor shall execute assignments, endorsement in blank, or transfer legal title to the Trustee of all shares, obligations or other Assets requiring assignments, so that, to the extent practicable, the Beneficiary whenever necessary may, and the Trustee upon the direction by the Beneficiary will, negotiate any such Assets without the consent or signature from the Grantor or any other person or entity. The Grantor shall give all notices and take all actions as the Trustee deems appropriate in order to cause payments due or that become due on any Asset within the Trust Account to be paid to the Trustee. The Grantor shall not make or consent to any waiver, amendment or restriction on transfer with respect to any Asset in the Trust Account, in each case without the Beneficiary’s prior written consent. In connection with the deposit of Assets into the Trust Account, the Grantor shall furnish to the Trustee all original documentation evidencing the Grantor’s ownership thereto.

(e) The parties recognize that certain Assets will not be readily negotiable and that certain notices, opinions of counsel, representations and/or consents will be required for the Beneficiary to obtain good and marketable title to such Assets.

Section 2. Withdrawal of Assets from the Trust Account.

(a) Without notice to the Grantor, the Beneficiary shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw from the Trust Account, upon notice to the Trustee in the form of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (the “Beneficiary Certificate”), signed by a duly authorized officer of the Beneficiary, accompanied by a request for withdrawal substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (the “Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal”), signed by a duly authorized officer of the Beneficiary, such Assets as are specified in such Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal. The Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal may designate a third party (the “Beneficiary Designee”), including the Grantor, to whom Assets specified therein shall be delivered. The Beneficiary shall not be required to present any other statement or document in addition to a Beneficiary Certificate and a Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal in order to withdraw any Assets, except that the Beneficiary shall acknowledge receipt of any such Assets withdrawn upon request by the Trustee.

(b) Upon receipt of a Beneficiary Certificate and a Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal, subject to the provision by the Beneficiary of any required notices, opinions of counsel and representations, the Trustee and the Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer absolutely and unequivocally all right, title and interest in the Assets specified in such Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal and shall deliver physical custody (or such other form as is necessary to complete the transfer) of such Assets to or for the account of the Beneficiary or such Beneficiary Designee, as specified in such Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal. The Trustee shall notify the Grantor and Beneficiary within three (3) business days following each withdrawal from the Trust Account.

(c) Subject to Section 4, in the absence of a Beneficiary Certificate and a Beneficiary Request for Withdrawal, the Trustee shall allow no substitution or withdrawal of any Asset from the Trust Account.

(d) The Trustee shall notify the insurance regulator in the state where the Beneficiary is domiciled within three (3) business days after all the assets in the Trust Account are withdrawn. At the Trustee’s request, the Beneficiary shall provide to the Trustee the address of the insurance regulator in the state where the Beneficiary is domiciled.

Section 3. Application of Assets. The Beneficiary shall be permitted to withdraw Assets from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Coinsurance Agreements.

(c) From time to time, subject to the prior written approval of the Beneficiary, the Grantor or the Asset Manager may direct the Trustee to substitute Assets of equal statutory book value for other Assets presently held in the Trust Account. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine the value of such substituted Assets or that such substituted Assets constitute Eligible Securities.

(d) All investments and substitutions of securities referred to in Sections 4(b) and 4(c) above shall be in compliance with the definition of “Eligible Securities” in Section 12 of this Trust Agreement. Any instruction or order concerning such investments or substitutions of securities shall be referred to herein as an “Investment Order”. The Trustee shall execute Investment Orders and settle securities transactions by itself or by means of an agent or broker. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission, or for the solvency, of any such agent or broker, except as set forth in Section 7.

(e) From time to time, upon notice to the Beneficiary, the Trustee may withdraw any Asset in the Trust Account upon the call or maturity of such Asset provided that the proceeds from such call or maturity are deposited into the Trust Account.

(f) When the Trustee is directed to deliver Assets against payment, delivery will be made in accordance with generally accepted market practice.

(g) Any loss incurred from any investment pursuant to the terms of this Section 4 shall be borne exclusively by the Trust Account.

(h) The Trustee shall not foreclose on, or direct or consent to the foreclosure of, any real property securing a commercial loan constituting an Asset or take title to such property by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other means without the prior written consent of the Grantor and the Beneficiary. The Trustee shall not provide any consent or direction with respect to any such commercial loan except at the written direction of the Grantor.

Section 5. The Income Account. All payments of interest, dividends and other income in respect to Assets in the Trust Account shall be the property of the Grantor and shall be deposited by the Trustee subject to deduction of the Trustee’s compensation and expenses as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement, in a separate account (the “Income Account”) established and maintained by the Grantor at an office of the Trustee. The Grantor may withdraw amounts from the Income Account at any time and from time to time.

Section 6. Right to Vote Assets. The Trustee shall forward all annual and interim stockholder reports and all proxies and proxy materials relating to the Assets in the Trust Account to the Grantor within a reasonable period of time following the Trustee’s receipt thereof. The Grantor shall have the full and unqualified right to vote any Asset in the Trust Account.

Section 7. Additional Rights and Duties of the Trustee.

(a) Before accepting any Asset for deposit to the Trust Account, the Trustee shall determine that such Asset is in such form that, to the extent practicable, the Beneficiary whenever necessary may, or the Trustee upon direction by the Beneficiary will, negotiate such

Asset without consent or signature from the Grantor or any person or entity other than the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement.

(b) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to determine whether or not any instructions given by the Grantor and Beneficiary are contrary to any provision of law. It is understood and agreed that the Trustee’s duties are solely those set forth herein and that the Trustee shall have no duty to take any other action unless specifically agreed to by the Trustee in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not have any duty to advise, manage, supervise or make recommendations with respect to the purchase, retention or sale of Assets with respect to any Assets in the Trust Account as to which a default in the payment of principal or interest has occurred or to be responsible for the consequences of insolvency or the legal inability of any broker, dealer, bank or other agent employed by the Grantor or Trustee with respect to the Assets except to the extent that the Trustee was negligent, engaged in misconduct or acted in bad faith in the selection of any such person or entity.

(c) The Trustee shall accept and open all mail directed to the Grantor or the Beneficiary in care of the Trustee.

(d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine that any Assets in the Trust Account are or continue to be Eligible Securities.

(e) The Trustee shall furnish to the Grantor and the Beneficiary a statement of all Assets in the Trust Account upon the inception of the Trust Account and at the end of each calendar month thereafter. The statement shall include a description of the Assets in the Trust Account and shall be delivered within five (5) business days following the end of such calendar month.

(f) The Trustee shall keep full and complete records of the administration of the Trust Account in accordance with all applicable law. Upon the request of the Grantor or the Beneficiary, the Trustee shall promptly permit the Grantor or the Beneficiary, their respective agents, employees, independent auditors and regulatory authorities to examine, audit, excerpt, transcribe and copy, during the Trustee’s normal business hours, any books, documents, papers and records relating to the Trust Account or the Assets.

(g) Unless otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to follow and rely upon all instructions given by officers of the Grantor or the Beneficiary and by attorneys-in-fact acting under written authority furnished to the Trustee by the Grantor or the Beneficiary, including, without limitation, instructions given by letter, facsimile transmission or electronic media, if the Trustee believes such instructions to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. In the absence of negligence, the Trustee shall not incur any liability to anyone resulting from actions taken by the Trustee in reliance in good faith on such instructions. The Trustee shall not incur any liability in executing instructions (i) from any attorney-in-fact prior to receipt by it of notice of the revocation of the written authority of the attorney-in-fact or (ii) from any officer of the Grantor or the Beneficiary.

(h) The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall only be such as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement, as it may from time to time be amended, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Trustee.

(i) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to take any action which, in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment, would result in any violation of this Trust Agreement or any provision of law.

(j) The Trustee may confer with counsel of its own choice in relation to matters arising under this Trust Agreement and shall have full and complete authorization from the other Parties for any action taken or suffered by it under this Trust Agreement or in respect of any transaction contemplated hereby in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(k) The Trustee shall notify the Grantor and Beneficiary in writing of any payment default occurring as to any Asset within three (3) business days after Trustee receives notice of such default. In the event of a delinquency of a timely payment in regard to any of the Assets, the Trustee shall inform the Grantor and the Beneficiary immediately upon Trustee’s receipt of notice of such delinquency.

(l) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall be liable for (i) subject to Section 7(n), the safekeeping of the Assets and administering the Trust Account in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement and (ii) its own negligence, willful misconduct or lack of good faith in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall exercise the standard of care with respect to the Assets that a professional trustee, engaged in the banking or trust company industry, having professional expertise in financial and securities processing transactions and custody would observe in such affairs. The Trustee shall be strictly liable for physical loss of or damage to Assets under its care, custody, possession or control or the care, custody, possession or control of its subcustodians, other agents or nominee(s), including but not limited to loss due to fire, burglary, robbery, theft or mysterious disappearance. In the event of loss or damage to the Assets under the care, custody, possession or control of Trustee or its subcustodians, other agents or nominee(s), Trustee shall, upon demand of the Grantor or Beneficiary, promptly replace such Assets with like kind and quality together with, all rights and privileges pertaining to the Assets (by among other methods, posting appropriate security or bond with the issuer of the Assets to obtain reissue of such Assets, or, if acceptable to the Grantor, deliver cash equivalent to the market value of the Assets as of the date of the discovery of the loss or damage). Nothing contained in any contract between Trustee and any entity authorized to hold Assets, as defined herein, shall diminish or otherwise alter the liability of Trustee to the Grantor or Beneficiary. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the burden of proof under applicable law with respect to the assertions of liability in any claim, action or dispute alleging any breach of or failure to observe such standard of care.

(m) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Assets, for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the liens in or with respect to any of the Assets, for the validity of title to the Assets, for insuring the Assets, for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon or with respect to the Assets, for any obligations

under any agreements or other documents evidencing or related to any of the Assets (other than this Trust Agreement), or for the compliance of the Assets with any laws, including any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined). The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the recording, filing or registration (or for the rerecording, refiling or reregistration) of any instrument or notice, including any financing or continuation statement or any tax or securities form, at any time in any public office or elsewhere for the purpose of perfecting, maintaining the perfection of or otherwise making effective any lien upon or with respect to any of the Assets.

(n) The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain of the Assets are and will continue to be subject to servicing and custodial agreements in effect on the date hereof (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, including any replacements thereof, the “Servicing/Custodial Agreements”). The Grantor and the Beneficiary acknowledge and agree that (i) the Trustee shall have no liability under this Trust Agreement for any action or omission of any of the parties to the Servicing/Custodial Agreements, including with respect to any of the Assets at any time during which such Assets are under the care, custody, possession or control of any of the parties to the Servicing/Custodial Agreements or any of their respective depositories, subcustodians, other agents or nominees (and, solely for the purposes of limiting the liability and determining the duties of the Trustee under Section 7(l), none of such Persons shall be considered to be the depositories, subcustodians, agents or nominees of the Trustee), (ii) the performance by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Trust Agreement may be delayed, limited or otherwise affected by the actions or omissions of any of the parties to the Servicing/Custodial Agreements or as a result of the Assets being subject to the Servicing/Custodial Agreements and (iii) the Trustee shall have no liability under this Trust Agreement as a result of the Trustee’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Trust Agreement as a result of the actions or omissions of any of the parties to the Servicing/Custodial Agreements or as a result of the Assets being subject to the Servicing/Custodial Agreements.

Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Trustee. The Trustee represents, warrants and covenants to the Grantor and Beneficiary that:

(a) The Trustee is a Qualified United States Financial Institution;

or failure to administer the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall be entitled to deduct its compensation and expenses from payments of dividends, interest and other income in respect of the Assets held in the Trust Account prior to the deposit thereof to the Income Account as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement.

The Grantor hereby acknowledges that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation of the Trustee or the termination of this Trust Agreement and hereby grants the Trustee a lien, right of set-off and security interest in the funds in the Income Account for the payment of any claim for compensation, reimbursement or indemnity hereunder.

(b) No Assets shall be withdrawn from the Trust Account or used in any manner for paying compensation to, or reimbursement or indemnification of, the Trustee.

The Grantor hereby acknowledges that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation of the Trustee or the termination of this Trust Agreement and hereby grants the Trustee a lien, right of set-off and security interest in the funds in the Income Account for the payment of any claim for compensation, reimbursement or indemnity hereunder.
