(i) fraud, misrepresentation, or violation of applicable law on the part of the insured or the
Downline Agent at any time, or (ii) the failure of the insured to make greater than six (6)
premium payments for any reason whatsoever. Upon the insured’s sixth failure to make a

policy holder’s twelfth payment, all chargebacks will be ceased.

sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed
by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority (collectively “Sales Tax”) on
any amounts payable by Downline Agent hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on
Company’s income. Company shall invoice the Downline Agent for such Sales Tax. If any
Sales Tax is imposed by any state or local authority relating to any amounts paid to Company by
Downline Agent, Company may invoice Downline Agent for reimbursement for any such Sales
Tax, including for any interest or penalty associated with such Sales Tax assessment. Downline
Agent shall pay any invoice for Sales Tax reimbursement from Company promptly upon receipt.
If any Governmental Authority levies a withholding tax on any amounts payable to Company,
Downline Agent may withhold such amounts from payment but shall provide Company with a
detailed accounting of all such amounts and shall cooperate fully with Company in any actions
taken by Company to contest such withholding taxes.
Confidentiality.
From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other
Party Confidential Information. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party's
Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party's employees who
have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or
perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose
Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a
court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law,
provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written
notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to
establish a Party's rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the
expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the
disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the
disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to
the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party's
obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the
Effective Date and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party;
provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret
(as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains
subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

Authorized Subagents under the following restrictions:
