The first agreement has a remaining term of one year and an aggregate remaining cost of ¥10.5 billion ($74 million using the December 31, 2023 exchange rate). The second agreement provides for application maintenance and development services for Aflac Japan. The second agreement has a remaining term of one year and an aggregate remaining cost of ¥0.4 billion ($3 million using the December 31, 2023 exchange rate). The Company has an outsourcing agreement with a management consulting and technology services company to provide application maintenance and development services for Aflac Japan.

The Company has an outsourcing agreement with an information technology and software company to provide application maintenance and development services for Aflac Japan. The agreement has a remaining term of two years with an aggregate remaining cost of ¥1.8 billion ($12 million using the December 31, 2023 exchange rate). The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and receives various regulatory inquiries considered to be in the normal course of business. Members of the Company's senior legal and financial management teams review litigation and regulatory inquiries on a quarterly and annual basis. The final results of any litigation or regulatory inquiries cannot be predicted with certainty. Although some of this litigation is pending in states where large punitive damages, bearing little relation to the actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in recent years, the Company believes the outcome of pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 3 for details on certain investment commitments. Guaranty Fund Assessments The U.S. insurance industry has a policyholder protection system that is monitored and regulated by state insurance departments. These life and health insurance guaranty associations are state entities (in all 50 states as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia) created to protect policyholders of an insolvent insurance company. All insurance companies (with limited exceptions) licensed to sell life or health insurance in a state must be members of that state’s guaranty association. Under state guaranty association laws, certain insurance companies can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for certain obligations to the policyholders and claimants of impaired or insolvent insurance companies that write the same line or similar lines of business. Guaranty fund assessments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.
