             WHEREAS, Annuity & Life Reassurance, Ltd. (“ALRe”) and The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (“Ohio National”) entered into a Reinsurance Agreement signed in December, 2001, as amended twice on June 28, 2002, and once again in late December/early January, 2002/2003, covering Ohio National’s Foundation II and III fixed annuities issued from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002 (“the Agreement”);

             WHEREAS, ALRe and Ohio National now wish to terminate the Agreement under terms and conditions which are mutually
acceptable to them;

       NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Except as set forth herein, the parties hereto do hereby release and discharge one another from any and all claims, demands, causes of action and/or damages arising out of or relating to the Agreement. This release shall be binding upon, and/or inure to the benefit of, the parties’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and/or assigns and/or others claiming through or in privity with them.
2.   In consideration of the mutual covenants herein, Ohio National agrees to pay ALRe $5,000,000.
3.   The net settlement amount payable is $2,798,892. This amount is determined by reducing the $5,000,000 by the net amount owed by ALRe to Ohio National under the Agreement as of January 31, 2003, $2,201,108 ($2,896,108 for the December settlement to Ohio National, less $475,000 for the January settlement to ALRe and less $220,000 IMR held on behalf of ALRe). Accordingly, Ohio National will pay ALRe $2,798,892 on or before February 21, 2003.
4.   This Termination Agreement only relates to and/or affects the Agreement. Any other agreements and/or reinsurance treaties in effect between ALRe and Ohio National are unaffected by this Termination Agreement and they remain in full force and effect.
