Appendix B (Pricing)
For the first calendar year of the Subscription Term, the fee hereunder shall be based on Pricing Tier 31. For purposes of determining the applicable pricing tier thereafter, the in-force policy count as of January 1st of each applicable calendar year shall be aggregated across both this Order (between Zinnia and Customer) and the separate TPA Order Form between Zinnia and Clear Spring Life & Annuity Company (“CSLAC”).
The annualized fee for the applicable tier shall then be apportioned based on the ratio of Customer’s in-force policies to the total aggregated in-force policy count across both Customer and CSLAC. This apportioned amount shall constitute the Customer’s fee for that calendar year.
In the event that the separate TPA Order Form between Zinnia and CSLAC is terminated during the Subscription Term, the aggregated in-force policy count will be adjusted as of the effective date of such termination to reflect only the active agreement(s). Zinnia will then determine the applicable pricing tier based on the updated in-force policy count and recalculate the applicable fees on a go-forward basis. Customer’s obligation to pay fees shall thereafter be based solely on its own in-force policy count and the corresponding pricing tier.
