The method of delivery of the Securities and other documents to the Paying Agent is at the election and risk of the holder of the Securities, but if such delivery is by mail, it is recommended that the holder use properly insured, registered mail, return receipt requested. The Letter of Transmittal and the Securities shall be sent to the Paying Agent and shall not be sent to the Reorganized Debtor or the Indenture Trustee. Upon receipt of Securities as contemplated by this Section 6.10, the Paying Agent shall mark the Securities as "cancelled" or "paid."

Any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee that are not for the purpose authorized herein shall be null and void, and the Reorganized Debtor shall have no obligation to the Indenture Trustee for any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with such unauthorized actions. Upon the completion of distribution required to be made under this Plan to Record Holders of Notes as of the Effective Date, the Debtors may terminate the Indentures and the Indenture Trustee's authority to act thereunder by giving ten days written notice of termination to the Indenture Trustee identifying the Indenture to be so terminated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cancellation of the Indentures shall not impair the rights of holders of the Notes to receive distributions on account of such Notes pursuant to this Plan, nor shall it impair the rights of the Indenture Trustee to enforce its liens, if any, under the Indentures. (b) Payment of Indenture Trustees' Fees and Expenses.

As to any Contested Claim, upon a request for estimation by the Debtors or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine what amount is sufficient to withhold as the escrowed distribution amount. In the event the Debtors or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors elect not to request such an estimation from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to a Contested Claim, the Debtors or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall withhold as the escrowed distribution amount the amount which such Claimant would have received under this Plan if the proof of claim field by or on behalf of Claimant were Allowed. The Debtors or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall also place in the escrowed distribution amount any dividends, payments, distributions, or other proceeds received on account of the property withheld as the escrowed distribution amount pursuant hereto to the extent that such property continues to be withheld as the escrowed distribution amount at the time such distributions are made or such obligations arise. 8.8 Distributions After Allowance. Payments and distributions from the escrowed distribution amount to each holder of a Contested Claim to the extent that it ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan governing the respective Classes of Claims to which the holder belongs. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing such Claim becomes a Final Order, any property in the escrowed distribution amount that would have been distributed to the holder of such Claim had such Claim been an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, to the extent of the Allowed Amount of such Claim, shall be distributed to the holder of such Claim, together with any dividends, payments or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, that property from the date such distributions would have been due. 8.9 Distributions After Disallowance. In the event that any of the property withheld in the escrowed distribution amount remains after all objections to Contested Claims of a particular Class have been resolved, such remaining property attributable to such Contested Claims of that particular Class shall be distributed as soon as practicable among the holders of Allowed Claims in that Class, in accordance with the provisions of this Plan governing that Class to which the holders of the Contested Claims belong. 8.10 Treatment of Contingent or Unliquidated Claims. Until such time as a contingent Claim becomes fixed and Allowed, such Claim shall be treated as a Contested Claim for purposes related to allowance and distributions under this Plan. The Bankruptcy Court upon request by the Debtors or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, shall in a summary proceeding, on each such contingent Claim or unliquidated Claim by estimation determine the allowability of each such contingent or unliquidated Claim.

Corporation ("ICH") and two of its subsidiaries, SWL Holding Corporation ("SWL Holding") and Care Financial Corporation ("Care Financial"), filed a joint plan under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code late Friday, May 31. The plan was filed in the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas, Division, which is presiding over the companies' Chapter 11 cases. Each of ICH, SWL Holding and Care Financial have been operating as debtors in possession since filing voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on October 10, 1995. The joint plan classifies all unsecured claims, including claims of holders of ICH's 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 1996 and 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003, as one class that will be entitled to receive pro rata distributions of available cash (after reserves are set aside for taxes, contested claims, administrative and operating expenses) plus 87.5% of an asset pool consisting of certain interests in unliquidated assets including certain claims and causes of action of ICH's estate ("Designated Asset Pool"), until such claims are paid in full, including interest at the legal rate, from October 10, 1995. If the unsecured claims are paid in full plus interest, the holders of such claims thereafter will be entitled to 12.5% of the proceeds of the Designated Asset Pool. --MORE-- The holders of preferred stock and common stock, and claims arising out of the sale or purchase of those securities, are classified separately, with holders of preferred stock and related claims being entitled to 9.375% of the proceeds of the Designated Asset Pool until unsecured claims are paid in full, after which time such holders will become entitled to 75% of available cash, if any (after appropriate reserves), plus 65.625% of the proceeds of the Designated Asset Pool. The holders of common stock and related claims will receive a pro rata distribution of 3.125% of the proceeds of the Designated Asset Pool until unsecured claims are paid in full, after which time such holders will receive 25% of available cash, if any (after appropriate reserves), plus 21.875% of the proceeds of the Designated Asset Pool. ICH, SWL Holding and Care Financial anticipate filing with the Bankruptcy Court in June 1996 a disclosure statement pursuant to which they will solicit votes on the joint plan, and which will specify in more detail the anticipated recoveries under the plan. Effectiveness of the joint plan is subject to obtaining the requisite votes of classes of impaired claims against and interests in ICH, SWL Holding and Care Financial and the entry of a final order of confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court. ICH has been in discussions regarding the terms of the joint plan with both its official creditors committee and official stockholders committee. To date, however, neither committee has endorsed the plan and discussions will continue with both committees to seek a consensual plan prior to the commencement of solicitation of approvals from creditors and stockholders. ### FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan A.
