The parties also recognize that, for various reasons, the applicable investment management agreement (the “Applicable IMA”) between ISG and the owner of any given Account or the applicable sub-advisory agreement (the “Applicable SAA”) between ISG and the applicable Reinsurance-Related Third Party Manager may not contain a standard of care and/or indemnification provision or may contain a standard of care and/or indemnification provision that deviates from the Standard Indemnity.

11

Related Third Party Manager or from the owner of such Account for any Loss, in each case, in a manner where ISG would not have been liable for such Loss or would have received indemnification for such Loss if the Applicable IMA or the Applicable SAA included the Standard Indemnity, it is the intent of the parties that AHL will indemnify and hold harmless ISG for such Loss.

b. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and notwithstanding any provision in any Applicable IMA or Applicable SAA to the contrary, AHL shall hold harmless and indemnify ISG, its officers, directors, principals, employees, agents or nominees (each, an “Investment Manager Party”) from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, (i) any payments made by an Investment Manager Party to the owner of an Account or to a Reinsurance-Related Third Party Manager and (ii) any special, incidental, exemplary, consequential, punitive, lost profits or indirect damages paid by an Investment Manager Party, even if such damages are paid to the owner of an Account or to a Reinsurance-Related Third Party Manager and even if such Investment Manager Party is advised of the possibility or likelihood of the same), damages, claims, costs, actions, liabilities, suits, proceedings, settlements, Account expenses or other expenses including, without limitation, any liabilities imposed or sought to be imposed on or claims asserted against such Investment Manager Party (including, in each case, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) (each a “Loss”), which an Investment Manager Party may incur or suffer arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Applicable IMA or the Applicable SAA; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any Loss to the extent caused by ISG’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or, at any time that any assets of any Account constitute “plan assets” subject to ERISA, breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA, in respect of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Applicable IMA or the Applicable SAA with respect to any Account (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); provided, further, that any amounts payable to an Investment Manager Party under this Section 7 shall be offset by any amounts actually paid to such Investment Manager Party with respect to such Loss by the owner of the applicable Account or the applicable Reinsurance-Related Third Party Manager to the extent that such payment would be duplicative of payments made hereunder. The foregoing indemnity is in addition to, and shall not constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which an Investment Manager Party may have under, applicable law or any other agreement. For purposes of this Section 7(b), references to ISG include each Sub-Adviser that is an affiliate of ISG.

c. The parties understand that certain United States federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing in this Agreement will waive or limit any rights that any party may have under those laws.

8. Governing Law. To the extent consistent with any mandatorily applicable federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law thereof that would permit or require the application of the law of another jurisdiction and are not mandatorily applicable by law.

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, that unpaid accrued payment obligations arising under any prior version of this Agreement shall not be affected by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, there are no understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than as expressed herein or as set forth in (i) that certain Investment Management Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2012, by and between ISG and AHL (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ISG/AHL Investment Management Agreement”), (ii) that certain Applicable 2016 Liability Fee Discount, dated as of September 30, 2016, by and between AHL and ISG and (iii) that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 28, 2020, by and among AHL, ISG and Apollo Global Management, Inc.

10. Counterparts; Amendment; Interpretation. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound or as may otherwise be provided for herein. This Agreement applies to all Accounts, Applicable IMAs, Applicable SAAs, ACRA Accounts (as applicable) and other applicable agreements, whether in place as of the date hereof or entered into on or after the date hereof.

11. Termination.

a. This Agreement shall remain in effect unless and until terminated in accordance with the immediately following sentence. This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without any further action on the part of any of the parties hereto or any other person, if all (but not less than all) investment management agreements, investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements between Apollo, on the one hand, and AHL, any of the Subsidiaries, Reinsurance Counterparties and/or Reinsurance-Related Third Party Managers, on the other hand, have been terminated in accordance with (x) their respective terms and (y) Section 12 hereof and none of such agreements have been replaced by any similar investment management agreement or investment advisory agreement for the benefit of AHL or any of the Subsidiaries; provided, that, (i) any payments or obligations due hereunder, including, but not limited to, the payments or obligations as described in Sections 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 herein, that accrued, or are otherwise payable or rebatable, with respect to any day prior to the date of such termination of this Agreement (with applicable amounts calculated ratably based on the actual number of days in the calendar quarter that preceded such termination of this Agreement) shall be payable by AHL, or rebatable to AHL, as applicable, within 10 business days (or, if such amount is not determinable within such period, then within 3 business days after such amount is determined) of such termination of this Agreement, (ii) in no event shall any payments or obligations due hereunder, including, but not limited to, the payments or obligations as described in Sections 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 herein, accrue, or otherwise be payable or rebatable, with respect to any day or period beginning on or after the date of such termination of this Agreement and (iii) Sections 4 (for so long as ISG manages any Account of a Reinsurance Counterparty of AHL or any Subsidiary or acts as a sub-advisor to any Reinsurance-Related Third Party Manager), 7 through 10, and this Section 11 (including the defined terms relating thereto), shall survive such termination of this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to an Account (and all of the other Accounts) even if the ISG/AHL Investment Management Agreement relating to such Account is terminated pursuant to its terms or otherwise.

b. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 11(a) prior to all investment management agreements, investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements between Apollo, on the one hand, and ACRA Entities, on the other hand, having been terminated in accordance with their respective terms, then ISG and AHL shall use their good faith efforts to enter into a replacement fee agreement that addresses the portions of this Agreement that relate to ACRA Entities and the ACRA Accounts.

12. IMA Termination.

a. Except as set forth in Section 12(a), AHL shall not, and shall cause each subsidiary of AHL not to, elect to terminate any ACRA System IMAs (a) on any date other than June 4, 2023 or any two (2)-year anniversary of such date (each, an “IMA Termination Election Date”) and (b) unless it has provided written notice to ISG or the member of the Apollo Group that is a party to such ACRA System IMA, as applicable, of such termination at least thirty (30) days, but not more than ninety (90) days, prior to the applicable IMA Termination Election Date (an “IMA Termination Notice”); provided, that (i) an ACRA System IMA may only be terminated by AHL or a subsidiary of AHL with the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors (as defined in the Bye-laws) in accordance with the immediately following sentence (an IMA Termination Notice delivered with such approval and in accordance with Section 12(a) and Section 12(b), a “Valid IMA Termination Notice”) and (ii) notwithstanding any such election to terminate or delivery of a Valid IMA Termination Notice, no such termination shall be effective on any date earlier than the second annual anniversary of the applicable IMA Termination Election Date (the “IMA Termination Effective Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12(a), the board of directors of AHL shall not approve any election to terminate an ACRA System IMA on any IMA Termination Election Date pursuant to this Section 12(a) unless at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors agree that an event described in clause (iii) or (iv) of the definition of AHL Cause occurred with respect to such ACRA System IMA. If AHL and/or the applicable subsidiary of AHL does not provide a Valid IMA Termination Notice with respect to an IMA Termination Election Date, then AHL or such subsidiary of AHL may only elect to terminate such ACRA System IMA under this Section 12(a) on the next IMA Termination Election Date, and neither AHL nor any subsidiary of AHL shall terminate any such ACRA System IMA in accordance with this Section 12(a) without providing a Valid IMA Termination Notice. Furthermore, beginning on June 4, 2019, each ACRA System IMA shall be subject to an initial term of four (4) years from such date; provided that, on each IMA Termination Election Date after June 4, 2019, beginning with the IMA Termination Election Date on June 4, 2023, to the extent no Valid IMA Termination Notice has been delivered in accordance with this Section 12(a) with respect to the ACRA System IMA, the term of such ACRA System IMA shall be extended automatically without any further action or obligation by any persons (including, without limitation, the parties thereto or hereto) for a period of two (2) additional years; provided, further that, if a Valid IMA Termination Notice has been previously delivered in accordance with this Section 12(a) and has not been rescinded prior to the applicable IMA Termination Effective Date, this sentence shall no longer be of any force or effect with respect to the ACRA System IMA that is the subject of such delivered Valid IMA Termination Notice and the term of the ACRA System IMA subject to such Valid IMA Termination Notice shall continue through the end of the IMA Remediation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the term of any ACRA System IMA shall be extended for the IMA Remediation Period.

b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12(a), AHL and/or the applicable subsidiary of AHL may terminate an ACRA System IMA upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of AHL Cause with respect to such ACRA System IMA; provided, that any termination of an ACRA System IMA by AHL or subsidiary of AHL, as applicable, for such AHL Cause shall require the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors and the delivery of written notice to ISG or such member of the Apollo Group that is a party to such ACRA System IMA, as applicable, of such termination for such AHL Cause at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such termination; provided, further, that in each case ISG or the member of the Apollo Group that is a party to the applicable ACRA System IMA, as applicable, shall have the right to dispute such determination of the Independent Directors within thirty (30) days after receiving notice from AHL of such determination, in which case the parties to such ACRA System IMA, as applicable, shall submit the question as to whether the conditions of AHL Cause have been met to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13 hereof, and such ACRA System IMA, as applicable, shall continue to remain in effect during the period of the arbitration.

14

c. For the avoidance of doubt, subject in all respects to the other provisions of this Section 12 and the definition of AHL Cause, any termination of an ACRA System IMA by AHL and/or any subsidiary of AHL shall require the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Section 12 and the definition of AHL Cause, (x) no officer or employee of AHL or any of its subsidiaries shall constitute an Independent Director, (y) no officer or employee of (1) any member of the Apollo Group described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition of Apollo Group or (2) AGM or any of its subsidiaries (excluding any subsidiary that constitutes any portfolio company (or investment) of (A) an investment fund or other investment vehicle whose general partner, managing member or similar governing person is owned, directly or indirectly, by AGM or by one or more of its subsidiaries or (B) a managed account agreement (or similar arrangement) whereby AGM or one or more of its subsidiaries serves as general partner, managing member or in a similar governing position) shall constitute an Independent Director and (z) any Independent Director who also serves as an independent director of AGM pursuant to the independence requirements set forth in the AGM governing documents shall constitute an Independent Director. For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that a Director serves as an independent director of AGM does not disqualify such Director from being an Independent Director for purposes of this Section 12(c).

d. This Section 12 may not be rescinded, altered or amended until the same has been approved by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors.

e. For purposes of this Section 12, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(i) “ACRA System IMA” means (i) that certain investment management agreement by and between ACRA 1A and ISG, dated as of December 31, 2018, (ii) that certain investment management agreement by and between ACRA 1 HoldCo and ISG, dated as of December 16, 2021 and each other investment management agreement by and between ACRA 1 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and ISG, on the other hand, as may be entered into from time to time, (iii) that certain investment management agreement by and between ACRA 2 HoldCo and ISG, dated as of February 6, 2023, and each other investment management agreement by and between ACRA 2 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and ISG, on the other hand, as may be entered into from time to time, (iv) any investment management agreement between a member of the Apollo Group, on the one hand, and a third-party cedent, on the other hand, that relates to any funds withheld accounts or modified coinsurance accounts established by reinsurance counterparties of AHL or any of its subsidiaries for the purpose of maintaining assets supporting business ceded or retroceded to ACRA 1 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries or ACRA 2 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries and (v) any investment management agreement between a member of the Apollo Group, on the one hand, and AHL or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, that relates to any funds withheld accounts or modified coinsurance accounts established by reinsurance counterparties of AHL or any of its subsidiaries for the purpose of maintaining assets supporting business ceded or retroceded to ACRA 1 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries or ACRA 2 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries, but solely with respect to the management of assets that support business that is ultimately ceded or retroceded to ACRA 1 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries or ACRA 2 HoldCo or any of its subsidiaries.

15

(ii) “AHL Cause” means, (i) with respect to any ACRA System IMA, a material violation of Applicable Law relating to ISG’s advisory business or the advisory business of the member of the Apollo Group that is a party to such ACRA System IMA, in each case that is materially detrimental to AHL, (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of any of the obligations of ISG or the member of the Apollo Group that is a party to the applicable ACRA System IMA under the applicable ACRA System IMA that is materially detrimental to AHL, (iii) the unsatisfactory long term performance of ISG or the member of the Apollo Group that is a party to the applicable ACRA System IMA under the applicable ACRA System IMA that is materially detrimental to AHL, as determined in the sole discretion of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors, acting in good faith or (iv) a determination in the sole discretion of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors, acting in good faith, that the fees charged by ISG or by the member of the Apollo Group that is a party to the applicable ACRA System IMA under the applicable ACRA System IMA, in each case, taking into account, without duplication, this Agreement, are unfair and excessive compared to a Comparable Asset Manager, provided, however, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), the Independent Directors shall deliver written notice of such finding to ISG or such other member of the Apollo Group, as applicable, and ISG or such other member of the Apollo Group, as applicable, shall have until the applicable IMA Termination Effective Date to address the Independent Directors’ concerns and; provided further, that in the case of clause (iv), ISG or such other member of the Apollo Group, as applicable, shall have a right to lower its fees to match a Comparable Asset Manager. If ISG or such member of the Apollo Group has addressed the Independent Directors’ concerns (with the assessment of whether the Independent Directors’ concerns have been addressed being rendered thereby in good faith with the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors) or, if applicable, lowered its fees to match a Comparable Asset Manager, then the applicable IMA Termination Notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no further force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an event constituting AHL Cause under one ACRA System IMA shall not constitute an event of AHL Cause under any other ACRA System IMA and vice versa, unless such event of AHL Cause shall be separately established thereunder.

(iii) “Apollo Group” has the meaning set forth in the Bye-laws.

(iv) “Applicable Law” means, with respect to any person, all provisions of laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits, certificates, judgments, decisions, decrees or orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to such person.

(vi) “Comparable Asset Manager” means an asset manager with personnel of experience, education and qualification, and whose services are of a scale and scope, comparable to those of ISG (after giving effect to any assistance provided to ISG by its affiliates).

16

(vii) “Governmental Authority” means any Bermudan, U.S. Federal, state, county, city, local or foreign governmental, administrative or regulatory authority, commission, committee, agency or body (including any court, tribunal or arbitral body and any self-regulating authority such as FINRA).

(viii) “IMA Remediation Period” means, with respect to any Valid IMA Termination Notice, the period between the applicable IMA Termination Election Date and the applicable IMA Termination Effective Date.

13. Arbitration. Any arbitration referenced in Section 12 shall be settled by arbitration in New York City in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and any award rendered thereon shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Without giving effect to Section 8, any such arbitration and this Section 13 shall be governed by Title 9 of the U.S. Code (Arbitration).
