A. &#8220;Regulatory Action Level Event&#8221; means, with respect to any
licensee, any of the following events:

   1. The filing of an RBC Report by the licensee which indicates that the
   licensee&#8217;s Total Adjusted Capital is greater than or equal to its
   Authorized Control Level RBC but less than its Regulatory Action Level RBC;

   2. The notification by the Commission to a licensee of an Adjusted RBC Report
   that indicates the event in subdivision A 1, provided the licensee does not
   challenge the Adjusted RBC Report under &#xA7; 38.2-5507;

   3. If, pursuant to &#xA7; 38.2-5507, the licensee challenges an Adjusted RBC
   Report that indicates the event in subdivision A 1, the notification by the
   Commission to the licensee that the Commission has, after a hearing, rejected
   the licensee&#8217;s challenge;

   4. The failure of the licensee to file an RBC Report by the filing date,
   unless the licensee has provided an explanation for such failure which is
   satisfactory to the Commission and has cured the failure within ten days after
   the filing date;

   5. The failure of the licensee to submit an RBC Plan to the Commission within
   the time period set forth in subsection C of &#xA7; 38.2-5503;

   6. Notification by the Commission to the licensee that:
   				a. The RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan submitted by the licensee is, in the
   judgment of the Commission, unsatisfactory; and
   				b. Such notification constitutes a Regulatory Action Level Event with
   respect to the licensee, provided the licensee has not challenged the
   determination under &#xA7; 38.2-5507;

   7. If, pursuant to &#xA7; 38.2-5507, the licensee challenges a determination
   by the Commission under subdivision A 6, the notification by the Commission to
   the licensee that the Commission has, after a hearing, rejected such
   challenge;

   8. Notification by the Commission to the licensee that the licensee has failed
   to adhere to its RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan, but only if such failure has a
   substantial adverse effect on the ability of the licensee to eliminate the
   Company Action Level Event in accordance with its RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan
   and the Commission has so stated in the notification, provided the licensee
   has not challenged the determination under &#xA7; 38.2-5507; or

   9. If, pursuant to &#xA7; 38.2-5507, the licensee challenges a determination
   by the Commission under subdivision A 8, the notification by the Commission to
   the licensee that the Commission has, after a hearing, rejected the challenge.

B. In the event of a Regulatory Action Level Event, the Commission shall:

   1. Require the licensee to prepare and submit an RBC Plan or, if applicable, a
   Revised RBC Plan;

   2. Perform such examination or analysis as the Commission deems necessary of
   the assets, liabilities and operations of the licensee including a review of
   its RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan; and

   3. Subsequent to the examination or analysis, issue a corrective order
   specifying such corrective actions as the Commission shall determine are
   required. In determining corrective actions, the Commission may take into
   account such factors as are deemed relevant with respect to the licensee based
   upon the Commission&#8217;s examination or analysis of the assets, liabilities
   and operations of the licensee, including, but not limited to, the results of
   any sensitivity tests undertaken pursuant to the RBC Instructions.

C. The RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan shall be submitted:

   1. Within forty-five days after the occurrence of the Regulatory Action Level
   Event;

   2. If the licensee challenges an Adjusted RBC Report pursuant to &#xA7;
   38.2-5507 and the challenge is not frivolous in the judgment of the
   Commission, within forty-five days after the notification to the licensee that
   the Commission has, after a hearing, rejected the licensee&#8217;s challenge;
   or

   3. If the licensee challenges a Revised RBC Plan under &#xA7; 38.2-5507 and
   the challenge is not frivolous in the judgment of the Commission, within
   forty-five days after notification to the licensee that the Commission has,
   after a hearing, rejected the licensee&#8217;s challenge.

D. The Commission may retain actuaries and investment experts and other
consultants as may be necessary in the judgment of the Commission to review the
licensee&#8217;s RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan, examine or analyze the assets,
liabilities and operations, including contractual relationships, of the licensee
and formulate the corrective order with respect to the licensee. The fees, costs
and expenses relating to consultants shall be borne by the affected licensee or
such other party as directed by the Commission.
