AGENT AGREEMENT
Approved:
This Agreement is between the Agent who signed this Agreement (referred to as “you,” “your,” and/or “Agent” in this Agreement) and Assurity Life
Insurance Company (we will be referred to as “Assurity,” “our,” “we,” “us,” and “the Company”). The provisions stated in all supplements,

of Assurity for the purpose of developing and supervising the distribution of Assurity’s insurance products. Specifically, you are authorized to: 1)
recruit and recommend persons for appointment by Assurity, 2) train and supervise such agents in accordance with Assurity’s business rules and
the requirements of the state(s) in which they are licensed and in which they act as an agent for Assurity, and 3) solicit applications for the
insurance policies written by Assurity and approved for marketing..
2. RELATIONSHIP
You are an independent contractor and nothing in this or any other agreement between you and the Company shall be construed to create the
relationship of employee or employer between you and the Company.
You are free to exercise your own judgment in determining when, how and to whom you sell Assurity policies. You choose the time, place and
manner of sale, but you are to conform to state law and regulation and our rules and instructions that are not inconsistent with the independent
contractor relationship.

be transferred by Assurity according to Assurity’s transfer rules.

replacement only when replacement is in the best interest of the customer. You shall fully disclose any and all relevant information to the
customer regarding the financial impact to the customer of the replacement, whether a new contestability period and/or suicide clause will
start under the new policy (if applicable), and whether the customer will have to resubmit to underwriting to purchase the new policy. You
agree never to recommend that a customer cancel an existing policy until a new policy is in force, and the customer has determined that the
new policy is acceptable.
f. You agree to adhere to Assurity’s rules concerning ethical market conduct which require you to:
i. carefully evaluate the insurance needs and financial objectives of your clients, and use sales tools (e.g. sales brochures and policy
proposals and/or illustrations) to determine that the insurance or annuity you are proposing meets these needs;

keep current of changes in insurance laws and regulations by reviewing the bulletins and newsletters published by the state insurance

Your compensation shall be based on your personal production and the production of all agents assigned to you. You will receive payments as
shown in the Commission Schedule (“Schedule”), as amended from time to time, for premiums received on policies issued by the Company for
applications secured under this Agreement. Commissions will be paid according to the Commission Schedule that is in effect on the written date on
the policy application. The Schedule states the required repayments of compensation for lapsed, terminated, or surrendered policies. We can

made at such times and in any manner as we determine. You must access our web site to obtain commission statements and production reports.
You must object to any transactions shown on EFT statements and compensation reports within 30 days of receiving them, or they will be deemed
to be conclusive.
Your right to commissions shall be deemed fully vested, and except as specifically limited to herein, the renewal commissions shall be paid for the
term and in the amount shown in the Schedule, so long as they exceed $250 in a year, or you are receiving first year commissions. Vesting will
cease if this Agreement is terminated for cause. If this Agreement terminates because you die, we will continue payments to your designated
beneficiary. If no beneficiary is designated, we will pay your executor. Payments after your death will cease if the policyholder requests a new
agent.
You authorize us to provide your production and earnings records to the Agent(s), if any, to whom you are assigned.
6. GENERAL PROVISIONS

debt is fully paid. You agree that if at any time you have a debit balance with us, you are not due any compensation. Commissions will be
credited to your account until such time as the debit balance has been cleared. Termination of this Agreement does not release you from
continuing liability to us for immediate repayment of any debt including unearned first year commissions or bonuses. We have the right to
charge interest at the maximum lawful rate on any outstanding debt.
f. Return of Premium. If, for any reason, we refund premiums on which you received compensation, you agree to immediately repay us any
compensation you received on that premium.
g. Waiver. Failure of the Company to strictly enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be interpreted as a waiver of such provision.
h. Modification. Any change to this Agreement must be in writing signed by an authorized officer of the Company.
i. Assurity Property. You agree to return all of our property upon demand or at this Agreement’s termination. Our property includes, without
limitation, all rate books, manuals, supplies, applications, video materials, computer software, insured files and advertising and sales

shall in the future be in conflict with any applicable law or any valid Department of Insurance ruling or order, it shall be modified to the extent
necessary for compliance.

includes, but is not limited to any nonpublic personal information about the Company’s customers or potential customers, regardless of
whether it is personally identifiable or anonymous information. You agree, now and at all times in the future, not to use or disclose
Confidential Information to any person or entity, other than to carry out the purposes for which the Company’s applicant or customer
disclosed the information, or as necessary to carry out the lawful business purposes of this Agreement, or as otherwise allowed by law or
regulation. Your use or disclosure of Confidential Information shall comply at all times with federal and state privacy laws, rules and
regulations.

guidance, including the reporting, record-keeping and compliance requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”), as amended
by the USA PATRIOT Act (the “Patriot Act”). These Acts include requirements to identify and report currency transactions and
suspicious activity, to implement a customer identification program to verify the identity of customers and to implement an anti-
money laundering compliance program.
7. TERMINATION
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice. Notice may be mailed or delivered to the last known address of the
other party. If you reside in, or are licensed in, a state that requires advance notice, you hereby agree to waive any advance notice of termination
and agree that termination will be effective immediately upon delivery of written notice. We may terminate this Agreement for cause if you commit
any act that injures our business or reputation; fail to account for and remit promptly any monies collected by you for us; or withhold any policies,

ASSURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 801P
ANNUALIZATION ADVANCE AGREEMENT
This Annualization Advance Agreement is an addendum to the Agent Agreement between Assurity Life Insurance Company (“Assurity”) and the Agent named below (“you”)
(the “Agent Agreement”).
I select the following option for payment of my advanced (annualized) commissions from Assurity Life Insurance Company.
Check one: Check one:
Daily payment* 50%
Semi-monthly payment (15th and last day of each month) 75%
100%
It is understood and agreed as follows:
1. If you selected to receive daily advances, you must utilize direct deposit.* If you elect to have your advanced commissions paid daily but do not utilize direct deposit,
Assurity will continue to pay your advanced commissions on a semi-monthly basis.
2. The daily payment will not apply to any business written prior to the effective date or to any pending business currently in Assurity’s Home Office.
3. While this Agreement remains in effect, Assurity will advance to you annualized first year base and non-base commissions on policy forms that are deemed in Assurity’s
sole discretion to be advanceable. This Agreement applies only to policies issued with a monthly premium mode.
4. Assurity will advance 50%, 75%, or, 100% of your annualized first year base and non-base commissions. This percentage may be changed no more often than every six
months. The maximum amount of first year commission that will be annualized on any one policy is $3500 per agent. One hundred percent (100%) of the earned
commission on each of the policy’s premiums will be applied to offset this debt, until it is paid in full. Thereafter, commissions will be payable as earned under and subject
to the terms of your Agent Agreement.
5. An advance will be made when the policy is issued and the initial premium is received by Assurity. In the event of any rescission, lapsed, cancelled or surrendered policy,
or death of the insured, any unearned portion of the advance will be deducted from the next advance(s) and any earned first year or renewal commission. For any
subsequent reinstatement, commission will be paid as earned. If there is any debt remaining at month-end because of the rescission, lapsed, cancelled, or surrendered
policy, or insured’s death, Assurity may, at its discretion, require you to remit payment in full to clear such debt.
6. The outstanding balance of advances made to you shall be a debt that you owe to Assurity, and Assurity shall have a first lien against all monies that any division of
Assurity may owe you from time to time to secure that debt, including any interest payable as provided below.
7. If this Agreement or your Agent Agreement is terminated for any reason, the debt you then owe Assurity under this Agreement shall become due and payable
immediately, and you shall pay us interest at 6% per annum on any balance remaining unpaid thereafter. In addition to any other remedies Assurity may have, Assurity
may retain any monies we owe you or that become owing to you, immediately and without notice or resort to judicial process.
8. In addition to any debt under this Agreement, including interest, you agree to pay Assurity all costs and reasonable fees (including attorneys fees) and costs of collection
that Assurity incurs to effect payment of your debt, which will become part of that debt.
9. This Agreement may be terminated at any time with or without cause, by either party, by giving notice to the other in writing at the last known address. This Agreement
will terminate automatically upon and at the same time as termination of your Agent Agreement.
10. If you are a partnership or corporation, each individual signing below on your behalf shall be jointly and severally liable for any debt hereunder and shall be subject to the
lien provided above and enforcement of it on the same basis and to the same extent as you.
11. This is the entire agreement between you and Assurity as to advances of annualized first year base and non-base commissions, and it amends your Agent Agreement
only as and to the extent stated. Assurity may, at its sole discretion, modify the terms of this Agreement at any time. Any change in this Agreement may be made only in
writing signed by Assurity.
12. This Agreement is signed for Assurity at its Home Office in Lincoln, Nebraska and shall be subject to and construed under the laws of the State of Nebraska. All actions
with respect hereto shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Nebraska.
13. The provisions of paragraphs 6, 7, 8, and 9 will survive the termination of this Agreement.
