PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Southwestern Life Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("SLC," the
"Company," or "Registrant"), is an insurance holding company that markets a
broad range of life insurance, accident and health insurance and annuity
products to individuals and groups in over forty states and the District of
Columbia. The Company's individual insurance and annuity products are
marketed through more than 11,000 active, independent agents. At December 31,
1994, the Company had consolidated assets of approximately $3.1 billion,
consolidated life insurance in force of approximately $19.3 billion,
annualized health insurance premiums in force of approximately $212.3 million
and annuity funds under management of approximately $581.7 million. A chart
illustrating SLC's holding company system and identifying each principal
subsidiary is included under "SLC Holding Company System" below in this ITEM
1.
On January 27, 1995, the Company announced a series of initial actions as
part of a longer-ranging process designed to address the serious problems
associated with the Registrant's capital structure and to preserve its
financial flexibility. These actions included the suspension of dividend
payments on the Company's preferred stock, the hiring of Donaldson, Lufkin
and Jenrette as a financial advisor to assist the Company in developing a
plan of capital restructuring and the initiation of a review of certain of
the Company's accounting policies, including primarily the accounting for
intangible assets. Despite the Company's difficulties, SLC's insurance
subsidiaries are financially sound and have the capital strength and
claims-paying ability to fulfill all policyholder obligations, with over $250
million of total adjusted capital and surplus, including asset valuation
reserves, at December 31, 1994.
As described in various portions of this document, the Company is
exploring all of its options with regard to improving its capital structure
by increasing the proportion of common equity to total capital and both
reducing and extending the maturity of its indebtedness. The ultimate result
of these efforts is uncertain and their effect on the Company's securities is
not known at this time. For more information see "Business-Business
Strategy," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources of Parent Company," and
Notes 3 and 9 of Notes to Financial Statements and Schedule III.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
SLC's business strategy has undergone significant changes over the past
five years. After pursuing a strategy of growth through leveraged
acquisitions, SLC has, since 1989, sold a number of subsidiaries in
transactions designed to reduce leverage. Primarily as a result of sales of
subsidiaries, SLC's total consolidated assets declined from $8.6 billion at
December 31, 1989 to $3.1 billion at year-end 1994. In March 1990, SLC sold
certain subsidiaries, including Philadelphia Life Insurance Company, based in
Dallas, Texas, and Massachusetts General Life Insurance Company, situated in
Denver, Colorado, to Life Partners Group, Inc. In November 1992, SLC sold
Bankers Life and Casualty Company ("Bankers") and Bankers' subsidiary,
Certified Life Insurance Company ("Certified"), to Bankers Life Holding
Corporation ("BLHC"), an affiliate of Conseco, Inc. ("Conseco"). These sales
generated liquidity for the retirement of existing debt, and the transactions
with Life Partners Group, Inc. and BLHC were structured so that SLC retained
an interest in the subsidiaries sold, enabling it to benefit from their
future performance and appreciation.
Since year-end 1992, SLC has pursued a strategy of rebalancing and
simplifying its capital structure. The debt reduction SLC had accomplished
through December 1992 affected primarily the Company's senior secured loans,
which carried the lowest interest rates. During 1993, the Company targeted
the more expensive elements of its capital structure. On September 30, 1993,
SLC sold its remaining interest in Bankers, represented by 13,316,168 shares
of BLHC (approximately 24.4% of those outstanding) to Conseco and one of
Conseco's subsidiaries for $287.6 million, resulting in a gain of
$197.7 million. The sale of the BLHC stock enhanced the Company's common
equity, generated substantial liquidity for use in the Company's capital
restructuring and other corporate purposes, and enabled the Company to
retire its $5.50 Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series 1987-A, stated value
$50 million, held by a Conseco subsidiary. During the fourth quarter of
1993, SLC completed a voluntary exchange offer, pursuant to which it issued
$91.2 million 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 to existing
3
security holders, in exchange for outstanding notes and debentures; it called
for redemption of all of its 16 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 1994
that remained outstanding following the exchange offer; and it redeemed its
$8.00 Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series 1987-C, stated value $50 million,
that carried a 16% annual dividend rate.
In February 1994, SLC retired its Class B Common Stock, a class of common
equity that carried special voting rights in the election of directors. The
Class B Common Stock had been issued to Consolidated National Corporation
("CNC") in 1985, and enabled CNC to elect 75% of the Company's directors, and
by virtue of such voting power, CNC had been considered to be SLC's
controlling stockholder. Effective February 11, 1994, the Company
repurchased, for $500,000, all of its Class B Common Stock from CNC,
concurrently with CNC's sale of 4,457,243 shares of SLC's Common Stock to
Torchmark Corporation ("Torchmark") and 4,236,820 shares to Stephens Inc.
("Stephens"). On such date, Consolidated Fidelity Life Insurance Company
("CFLIC"), a subsidiary of CNC, also sold 220,000 shares of SLC's Common
Stock to each of Torchmark and Stephens. The Company and CNC terminated the
Management and Consulting Agreement, pursuant to which CNC, through its
affiliates, Robert T. Shaw and C. Fred Rice, had provided management services
to SLC since 1985, and SLC entered into ten-year Independent Contractor and
Consulting Agreements with each of Messrs. Shaw and Rice. Mr. Rice is an
executive officer and director of SLC. As a result of these transactions, the
Company now has only one class of common equity securities, and, from and
after February 11, 1994, no stockholder has beneficially owned 10% or more of
SLC's outstanding Common Stock. Torchmark, a diversified insurance and
financial services company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, and
Stephens, an investment banking firm headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas,
are the largest stockholders of the Company, beneficially owning, 9.89% and
9.86%, respectively, of the Common Stock of the Company as of December 31,
1994. In accordance with the terms of the related stock purchase agreements
entered into among CNC, SLC and each of Stephens and Torchmark, a
representative of each of Torchmark and Stephens was elected to the Company's
Board of Directors, and such representatives continue to serve on the
Company's Board. Further, pursuant to such agreements, SLC has agreed to
continue to have a representative nominated as a director from each such
company for as long as such company holds at least 5% of SLC's outstanding
Common Stock. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.
On June 30, 1994, the reinsurance agreements between Southwestern Life
Insurance Company, an SLC subsidiary, and Bankers that had been reinsured
through an independent third party to CFLIC were terminated, and the business
reinsured thereunder was recaptured, effective as of April 1, 1994.
Immediately prior to the termination of the CFLIC reinsurance agreements,
Union Bankers Insurance Company, an SLC subsidiary, utilized available cash
to purchase all of the outstanding stock of Marquette National Life Insurance
Company ("Marquette"), then a subsidiary of CFLIC, for $8.2 million.
Following completion of the terminations, CFLIC repurchased the shares of its
preferred stock held by the Company by transferring to the Company the senior
secured loan of the Company with an outstanding principal balance of $30
million, all of the outstanding shares of the Company's Series 1984-A
Preferred Stock, stated value of $22.2 million, all of the outstanding shares
of the Company's Series 1987-B Preferred Stock, stated value of $7.0 million,
a U.S. Treasury note, par value $1.1 million, and 620,423 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Immediately following the repurchase of the CFLIC
preferred stock, SLC retired the senior secured loan and the SLC preferred
stocks. The shares of SLC Common Stock were placed in treasury and retired as
of year-end 1994. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Changes in Capital Structure" and Note 4
of the Notes to Financial Statements.
During 1994, SLC reduced its notes payable by $48.6 million. As mentioned
above, $30.0 million of senior secured debt was retired in conjunction with
the recapture of the CFLIC business. On July 19, SLC purchased $10 million of
its 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 1996 in the open market for $10.1
million plus accrued interest. On August 5, a $4.9 million secured loan was
paid with the proceeds from the sale of the airplane that collateralized the
note. Additionally, Modern American Life Insurance Company ("Modern
American"), an SLC subsidiary, paid dividends totaling $9.0 million in the
form of SLC's 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 1996 and SLC purchased
from Modern American $3.0 million principal amount of such Notes, thereby
eliminating Modern American's holdings in SLC securities. On December 1, the
Company met its $100 million sinking fund requirement on its 11 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 1996 by tendering $12.9 million of such Notes held in
treasury and electing to utilize the $87.1 million in 11 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 1996 that were exchanged in 1993 for 11 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 to satisfy the remainder. At year-end 1994, SLC
had reduced the amount of its notes payable to $369.4 million, from $1,179.6
million at December 31, 1989.
4
In 1995, SLC is seeking to develop a plan to improve its capital structure
by increasing its proportion of common equity, reducing its debt and fixed
charges, and extending the maturities on any remaining debt. To assist with
the development of a plan to address the holding company's situation, in
January 1995, the Company engaged the investment banking firm of Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette as a financial advisor. There can be no assurances,
however, that the Company will timely create and implement such a
restructuring or recapitalization plan or that any plan would receive the
requisite regulatory clearances or approvals or, if necessary, the approval
of the Company's stockholders or creditors. Further, even if a plan is
formulated and approved (as needed), there are no assurances that it will be
effective or successful in eliminating or affecting positively any of the
financial problems and constraints facing the Company. Numerous outside
factors over which the Company has no control could also adversely affect any
restructuring efforts by the Company, such as interest rate fluctuations,
regulatory and legislative actions, and economic conditions generally.
Additionally, it is likely that any restructuring plan involving SLC would
result in the substantial dilution of its existing stockholders, especially
its common stockholders, and could possibly result in a change in control of
SLC. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements.
During 1995, the Company intends to continue its efforts to strengthen its
core insurance subsidiaries by attempting to improve operating earnings
through expense reductions, maintain sales momentum, achieve improved gross
margins, and increase efficiency and productivity. Further, management
intends to emphasize SLC's existing core businesses of individual life and
individual health insurance products, while pursuing the sale of
non-strategic subsidiaries.
On January 12, 1995, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Southeast Title and Insurance Company, for cash in the amount of $2,071,000.
In January 1995, SLC announced it had entered into a letter of intent to sell
Bankers Life Insurance Company of New York, subject to the execution of a
definitive agreement and the approval of applicable Boards of Directors and
state insurance regulatory authorities. On March 24, 1995, the Company signed
a definitive agreement to sell Integrity National Life Insurance Company,
subject to certain contingencies, including the approval of state regulatory
authorities, and a letter of intent to sell Constitution Life Insurance
Company after ceding 100% of Constitution's insurance contracts to another
insurer.
NOTE: The financial information presented in this Report on Form 10-K
includes the assets and results of operations of divested companies prior to
their sale and, in the cases of Bankers and Certified, includes the results
of their operations from November 1992 through September 1993, based on the
equity method of accounting following their sales. For this reason, the
financial data presented for years before, during, and after the years in
which sales of subsidiaries occurred may not be comparable. See Note 2 of
Notes to Financial Statements.

insurers have assumed from certain of SLC's insurance subsidiaries large blocks
of life insurance in force, and the related policy reserves and premium income,
generally in return for fees. These agreements are treated as financing
arrangements under generally accepted accounting principles, and the in-force
amounts ceded or assumed under these agreements have been excluded from the
in-force amounts reflected in the table. See Note 11 of the Notes to Financial
Statements and Schedule VI of the Financial Statement Schedules. These
agreements will terminate during the next few years, resulting in the ceding
companies' recapture of the reinsured business and policy reserves.
(5) Excludes reinsurance ceded to other of SLC's insurance subsidiaries.
TRADITIONAL WHOLE LIFE. The Company's whole life policies are permanent
insurance products that combine life insurance protection with a savings
component or cash value that gradually increases in amount. Typically, a
guaranteed fixed premium, which is higher than for comparable term coverage
when the policyholder is younger, but less than comparable term coverage as
the policyholder grows older, is paid over a period of years. A policyholder
may borrow against the policy's accumulated cash value, but the amount of any
outstanding loans decreases the death benefit under the policy. A
policyholder may choose to surrender a policy and receive the accumulated
cash value rather than continue the insurance protection.
Relatively affluent, price-sensitive individuals historically were the
focus of the Company's marketing efforts for traditional whole life insurance
products. Over the past two years, however, the Company has offered whole
life insurance products with smaller face amounts (starting at $2,500)
designed to appeal to moderate income individuals.
9
In addition, the Company now offers traditional whole life insurance products
that are designed to appeal to the senior citizen market. For example, in
1993, the Company introduced Life Made Simple, a whole life product that
provides benefits to pay final expenses, and Senior Survivorship Plan, a
first-to-die joint whole life product that helps offset the reduction in
social security retirement income that occurs upon the death of a spouse, and
in 1994 the Company introduced Future Leaders, a simplified whole life
product designed for people wanting to provide a savings accumulation plan
for their children and grandchildren. By introducing products targeted
towards the senior citizen market and by expanding its marketing efforts to
include moderate income individuals, the Company is attempting to benefit
from the growing senior citizen market and create additional selling
opportunities for its sales force of independent agents among moderate income
individuals. The Company has also consolidated the marketing operations of
Southwestern Life and Union Bankers to more effectively use its agency sales
force. This combined distribution system permits agents at Union Bankers who
have traditionally marketed only the Company's health insurance products to
now market and sell the Company's life insurance products as well. See
"-Distribution System." As of December 31, 1994, there were 311,000 whole
life policies in force with $1.9 billion in face amount and $460.6 million
in reserves.
UNIVERSAL AND INTEREST-SENSITIVE LIFE. The universal and
interest-sensitive life products offered by the Company provide whole life
insurance with adjustable rates of return related to current interest rates.
The principal difference between universal life and interest-sensitive life
products is the amount and timing of premium payments. Universal life
products permit policyholders to vary the frequency and size of their premium
payments, although policy benefits may also vary. Premium payments under
interest-sensitive life products are not generally variable by the
policyholders.
The majority of sales of individual life insurance products, measured by
premium volume, have been for universal and interest-sensitive life insurance
products. The Company's universal and interest-sensitive life products
provide advantages generally not available to its traditional whole life and
term life policyholders, such as flexibility in available coverages and, in
respect of universal life products, flexibility in the amount and timing of
premium payments. In addition, the Company's universal and interest-sensitive
life products can, in some respects, provide higher returns and greater cash
values to policyholders. The Company's universal life and interest-sensitive
life insurance products are marketed to individuals directly and through
qualified retirement plans, deferred compensation plans, and employer
sponsored payroll deduction plans. As of December 31, 1994, there were
132,000 universal and interest-sensitive life policies in force with $12.5
billion in face amount and $920.9 million in reserves.
TERM LIFE. Term life products offer pure insurance protection for a
specified period of time, typically one, five or ten years. No cash value is
built up. The Company offers a variety of term life products that include
some or all of the following features: current and guaranteed premium rates
that are level for either one, five or ten years; preferred smoker, preferred
nonsmoker, nonsmoker, and smoker underwriting classes; and conversion to
permanent insurance allowed to age 65 with premium credit. As of December 31,
1994, there were 36,000 term life policies in force with $3.0 billion in face
amount and $52.0 million in reserves.
Total sales of individual life insurance by SLC's insurance subsidiaries
increased approximately 28% in 1994, compared to declines of 6% in 1993 and
33% in 1992 (excluding Bankers and Certified). In the future, SLC intends to
continue to increase the amount of its life insurance business through
internal growth.

HEALTH INSURANCE BUSINESS
Substantially all of SLC's consolidated premium income and other
considerations for individual health insurance are received from Medicare
supplement plans, comprehensive and major medical (collectively,
"comprehensive") health plans and long-term care plans. The following table
sets forth, by product type, the amounts and percentages of SLC's
consolidated premium income and other considerations for individual health
insurance during the indicated periods. 1992 includes amounts from Bankers
and Certified, which were sold in November 1992.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT. Medicare supplement products provide coverage for
many of the medical expenses that the Medicare program does not cover, such
as deductible and coinsurance costs (in which the insured and Medicare share
the costs of medical expenses), and specified losses that exceed the federal
program's maximum benefits. Medicare supplement products, like other types of
health insurance, generate profits to the extent that the premium income and
investment income exceed benefit payments and other expenses.
The Company markets Medicare supplement products to individuals age 65
and older who are eligible for Medicare. Medicare supplement products are
highly regulated, standardized products. Such regulations impose minimum loss
ratios, restrict first year commissions payable to agents, require
standardized benefits and impose disclosure requirements. Due to product
standardization, insurance companies compete primarily on the basis of
marketing and distribution. As of December 31, 1994, there were 138,000
Medicare supplement policies in force representing $134.9 million in
annualized premiums and $84.2 million in reserves.
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH PRODUCTS. The Company markets comprehensive health
products that provide hospital, medical, and surgical coverage within various
prescribed policy deductible and coinsurance limits. The Company's
comprehensive health products are marketed primarily to self-employed
individuals, workers who are not fully covered by group health insurance, and
early retirees. Inflation in the cost of health care continues to exceed the
overall inflation rate, and a "cost shifting" pattern from the public sector
to those privately insured has resulted in increases that have reduced the
affordability of comprehensive health products to consumers. Although the
comprehensive health products offered by the Company in many states have
certain built-in protections against rising policy claims due to escalating
health care costs, premiums on many traditional health plans offered by the
Company may not be increased without notice to or approval by insurance
regulatory authorities. Due to escalating health care costs and marginal
profitability, the Company began deemphasizing sales of comprehensive health
plans in late 1990 and has decreased the number of states in which these
plans are marketed. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had 67,000 policies
in force representing $70.5 million in annualized premiums and $42.0 million
in reserves.
LONG-TERM CARE. The Company's long-term care products are sold to
retirees, older self-employed individuals and other persons in middle income
levels. Like the market for Medicare supplement policies, the Company
believes that the market for long-term care insurance products is attractive
because of the general aging of the United States population. As of December
31, 1994, there were 6,600 long-term care policies in force representing $6.9
million in annualized premiums and $21.1 million in reserves.
ANNUITY BUSINESS
The principal annuity products marketed by the Company consist of
flexible premium deferred annuities ("FPDA") and single premium deferred
annuities ("SPDAs"). The Company also manages a seasoned block of GICs,
single premium immediate annuities and supplementary contracts. In 1993, the
Company made a strategic decision not
11
to pursue growth in its accumulation business through the sale of GICs, with
the result that annuity products accounted for 94% of the Company's
accumulation product premium equivalents during 1994.
As of December 31, 1994, the guaranteed minimum crediting rates for the
life of the Company's deferred annuity products were as follows:
GUARANTEED MINIMUM FUNDS UNDER

No guaranteed minimum . . . . . 15.9
-------
$ 479.0
=======
At December 31, 1994, annuity liabilities were composed of $203.8
million of SPDA liabilities and $275.2 million of FPDA liabilities and $102.7
million of other annuity liabilities, for a total of $581.7 million of
annuity liabilities. Of such liabilities, $287.6 million were subject to
surrender charges averaging 7.0% at December 31, 1994.
The Company prices its annuity products based on assumptions concerning
prevailing and expected interest rates and other factors to achieve a
positive difference, or spread, between its expected return on investments
and the crediting rate. The Company achieves such spread through active
portfolio management by its outside, independent investment advisors,
focusing on matching the durations of invested assets and related liabilities
to minimize the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and by the
adjustment of the crediting rate on annuity products. See "-Investments."
Although the Company believes that the strategies employed by its investment
advisors will continue to permit it to achieve a positive spread, a
significant decline in the yield on the Company's investments could adversely
affect the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
Due to an annuity holder's right to withdraw funds and the volatility of
market interest rates, it is difficult to predict the timing of the Company's
obligations under its SPDAs and FPDAs. Consequently, the Company maintains a
portfolio of short-term investments that are readily marketable and
sufficient in management's judgment to satisfy liquidity requirements for the
SPDAs and FPDAs. See "-Investments."
GROUP BUSINESS
The group insurance market is highly competitive. The Company's group
insurance business primarily involves the marketing and sale of health
insurance products and the rendering of administrative services to group
plans. The Company's fully insured group plans offer both managed care and
traditional indemnity benefits. These plans are sold to small- and
medium-sized employers to provide basic health care and major medical
benefits to their employees. Most policies are written on a periodic basis,
and competitive bids are often sought prior to renewal. PALICO is the only
insurance subsidiary making any new sales to groups, although BML continues
to underwrite health insurance under an established association group plan.
In 1994, group insurance policies accounted for 17.1% of total consolidated
collected premiums.
PALICO also provides fee-based, administrative services consisting of
processing comprehensive health insurance claims under diverse group plans.
PALICO does not assume any underwriting risk under its administrative-only
arrangements, which are entered into with large- and medium-sized employers.
Instead, PALICO merely processes and pays claims for an administrative fee,
while the employer acts as a self-insurer and provides the policyholder
benefits. PALICO also provides groups with managed care plans, under which
it develops a network of providers with negotiated cost controls and
administers group claims and makes available stop loss coverage for group
12
benefits. The total claims administered by PALICO under these fee-based,
administrative arrangements increased from $310.7 million during 1993 to
$340.1 million during 1994.
PALICO incurred significant losses in its group business during 1994
and 1993, resulting in pretax operating losses of $5.7 million and $12.9
million with respect to SLC's group business for 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Such losses resulted primarily from group business written in 1992 and 1993,
which was ultimately unprofitable, and inadequate pricing for services
provided under administrative services arrangements. See the subheading
"Group Insurance" under "Management's Discussion and Analysis and
Results of Operations-Analysis of Operating Results by Industry Segment" for
additional analysis of the factors contributing to the losses. Due to the
unprofitable performance of its group insurance plans during 1994 and 1993,
and the uncertainties created by the national health care reform efforts,
PALICO intends to further deemphasize the sale of fully insured traditional
indemnity group plans and fee-based, administrative services in favor of
managed health care programs.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The Company sells its individual life and health insurance and annuity
products primarily through more than 11,000 independent agents in over 40
states, and the District of Columbia. The following table identifies those
states that accounted for 5% or more of the Company's subsidiaries' combined
direct premiums from life, health, and annuity sales to residents in 1994.

TOTAL BUSINESS . . . . . . Florida, Illinois, Texas

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substantially all independent agents selling insurance products for the
Company also represent other insurers. Group insurance is sold principally
through independent agencies that are assisted by group sales staffs employed
by an SLC subsidiary, and alternate funded plans are marketed directly by
employees of an SLC subsidiary. An alternate funded plan is a plan under
which the employer is self-insuring the basic benefits provided by the plan
and the Company contracts to provide administrative and claims processing
services as well as stop loss coverage for the plan.
An important element of the Company's marketing plan is the fostering of
a strong relationship between its insurance subsidiaries and the independent
agents and brokers that sell their insurance products. The administration of
insurance policies involves a high degree of interaction between the Company,
policyholders and agents in the application and underwriting process, as well
as during claims processing. The Company follows a service-oriented approach
towards administering its insurance business and seeks to provide agents and
policyholders with a timely and efficient response to claims, policyholder
questions, and agency matters. The efficiency and professionalism with which
these administrative matters are undertaken directly affect policyholders and
the Company's agents and influence the willingness of agents to promote the
Company's products. Management believes that the Company's reputation for
providing a quality, dependable service to its policyholders and agents is,
and will continue to be, fundamental to its business strategy and success.
The Company structures the commissions on its products so that agents
are provided meaningful financial incentives to increase the production of
new insurance and to promote continued renewals of in-force insurance. At the
same time, the Company employs financial discipline in setting agent
compensation arrangements and seeks to avoid sacrificing product
profitability and earnings growth through excessive or front-loaded
commissions. Commissions on life insurance products vary between products and
make up the largest element of acquisition costs. The Company
13
believes commissions on annuity products are comparable and competitive with
hose paid on other investment-oriented products, such as bonds and mutual
funds.
The Company has also consolidated the marketing operations of
Southwestern Life and Union Bankers to more effectively use its agency sales
force. The Company believes that the combined distribution system allows
Southwestern Life and Union Bankers to provide their agents with a wider
range of insurance products that may be offered to existing and prospective
clients and thus capture sales that may otherwise have been directed to other
insurance companies.
UNDERWRITING
Premiums charged on insurance products are based, in part, on
assumptions about the incidence and timing of claims. The Company employs
professional underwriting staffs that have adopted and followed detailed
underwriting procedures designed to assess and quantify insurance risks
before issuing life and health insurance policies to individuals and groups.
Except with respect to Medicare supplement insurance, which is heavily
regulated, the underwriting practice of each SLC insurance subsidiary is to
require medical examinations (including blood tests, where permitted) of
applicants for certain health insurance and for life insurance in excess of
prescribed policy amounts. These requirements vary according to the
applicant's age and by policy type and amount, and streamlined procedures
have been developed based on the amount and type of coverage sought. The
Company also relies on medical records and each potential policyholder's
written application for insurance. In issuing health insurance, the Company
uses information from the application and, in some cases, inspection reports,
physician statements, or medical examinations to determine whether a policy
should be issued as applied for, issued with reduced coverage under a health
rider or rejected.
Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome ("AIDS") claims identified to
date, as a percentage of total claims, have not been significant for SLC'S
subsidiaries. Evaluating the effect of future AIDS claims under the life and
health insurance policies issued by SLC is extremely difficult, in part due
to the insufficient and conflicting data regarding the number of persons now
infected by the virus that causes AIDS and uncertainty as to the speed at
which the disease may spread through the general population. The Company has
implemented, where legally permitted, underwriting procedures designed to
assist in the detection in applicants of the virus that causes AIDS.
INVESTMENTS
GENERAL. The Company's investment objectives are to maximize credit
quality, liquidity and return, while minimizing principal risk. The Company
seeks to attain these objectives through professional portfolio management
and monitoring of its investments. Since 1992, the Company has relied
primarily on independent investment advisors in the management of
investments. New England Asset Management, Inc. ("NEAM") provides advice in
the management of approximately $1.3 billion of the Company's investment
portfolio and has advised the Company in connection with the 1993 sale of
$144.7 million of the mortgage-backed residual interests and interest-only
certificates previously held in the Company's investment portfolio and the
reinvestment of a portion of the proceeds from such sale in trust
certificates sold by Fund America Investors Corporation II ("Fund America"),
which transaction is further described below. Conseco Capital Management,
Inc., the investment advisory subsidiary of Conseco, managed approximately
$443 million of investments during 1994. During 1994, Westridge Capital
Corporation managed the investment of approximately $150 million of the
assets and hedged the risk for one of Constitution's accumulation products.
See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by
reference, for additional information about the composition and performance
of SLC's investment portfolio.
The Company pursues an investment strategy principally designed to
balance the duration of investment assets against the liabilities of its
insurance subsidiaries for future policy and contract benefits and, under
certain circumstances, to manage its exposure to changes in market interest
rates, with separate investment segments for specific classes of product
liabilities. As part of this approach, investment guidelines are developed
for each product line that form the basis for distinct investment strategies
to manage each product's return and liquidity requirements. Any exceptions to
these guidelines must be approved by the Investment Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors. The Company seeks investments with duration and
return characteristics that match the duration, cash payment, and other
characteristics of the underlying liabilities. It is the Company's policy, as
well as a requirement
14
of applicable state insurance laws, to diversify the investments in its
investment portfolio. The Company monitors the exposure of its investment
portfolio to particular borrowers, industries or types of investments and
geographic locations. It is the Company's policy not to make new investments
in commercial mortgage loans or real estate.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Since 1991, the Company has taken steps to
restructure its investment portfolio to improve the overall credit quality of
its portfolio. Specifically, the investment strategy has shifted to reducing
the investment in noninvestment-grade, fixed maturity securities and equity
securities and increasing the investments in investment-grade, fixed maturity
securities. The Company's policy on investing in mortgage-backed securities
and collateralized mortgage obligations (collectively, "CMOs") distinguishes
between CMOs that have predictable and stable cash flows ($793.6 million at
December 31, 1994) and which, therefore, do not present a high risk of loss
of principal while providing relatively stable returns, and CMOs that
represent mortgage-backed residual interests or interest-only certificates,
generally referred to as "derivative CMOs" (carrying value of only $20.8
million at December 31, 1994), which may fluctuate significantly in value
depending on levels of prepayments on the underlying mortgages. It is the
Company's policy not to make further investments in derivative CMOs. The
Company believes that its current investment strategy has resulted in a high
quality, liquid investment portfolio, with low principal risk, that is well
matched to the Company's liabilities. While these actions have resulted in
substantially reduced exposure to credit risks, average yields decreased from
8.3% in 1992 to 6.9% in 1993. Investment yields increased to 7.3% in 1994 as
general market interest rates increased during the year.
In accordance with applicable insurance laws, SLC's insurance
subsidiaries maintain substantial portfolios of investment assets that are
held, in large part, to fund their future contractual obligations to
policyholders. In structuring these portfolios, SLC has emphasized, and
expects to continue to emphasize, investments in fixed maturity securities.
In addition, SLC has maintained significant levels of short-term investments
to meet its liquidity needs. Since 1991, fixed maturity securities and
short-term investments have represented more than 75% of SLC's consolidated
investments, while no other category of investment has represented more than
10%. Additional information regarding the categories and amounts of SLC's
investment assets is reflected in Note 5 of Notes to Financial
Statements. State insurance laws also impose certain restrictions on the
nature and extent of investments by insurance companies and, in some states,
may require divestiture of assets contravening these restrictions. In
addition, the NAIC has begun drafting a model investment act which, if
adopted, could significantly affect the investments of SLC's insurance
subsidiaries. See "-Regulation."
INVESTMENT RESULTS. The following table summarizes, for the indicated
periods, certain results of the investments of SLC and its consolidated
subsidiaries. 1992 includes amounts for Bankers and Certified which were sold
in November 1992.

been recorded had the Company realized such gains (losses), net of
deferred income tax effects.
15
For the year ended December 31, 1994, net investment income decreased
$13.6 million, or 7%, as compared to 1993. Net investment income includes 1)
earnings on surplus investments and assets invested to support the reserve
liabilities of the Company's traditional and interest-sensitive life and
health insurance products (general investment portfolio) and 2) investment
activity related to separately held assets supporting a GIC product, the
credited rate on which is indexed to the S&P 500 Stocks Composite Average
("S&P 500"). In addition, in 1993 and 1992, net investment income included
investment income on certain CMOs held in a special purpose trust (the
"Trust"). The accounts of the Trust are no longer consolidated with those of
the Company for periods after July 30, 1993, as the result of SLC's sale of
a 75% interest in the Trust. Assets supporting the S&P 500 GIC product
include, among other investments, put and call options on various equity
based index futures, including the S&P 500. The return on such investments
is highly volatile and, under certain market conditions, such as the overall
decline in equity markets experienced during early 1994, can result in
investment losses, or negative investment yields. The reduction in investment
yield experienced in 1994 on the assets supporting the indexed GIC product
was more than offset by a reduction in GIC benefits. Following is a summary
of investment income (loss) for the three categories of investments as
described above for the three years ended December 31, 1994:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1994, SLC had net pretax unrealized investment losses
totaling $94.3 million, consisting of $101.0 million of unrealized investment
losses related to available for sale fixed maturities, $1.0 million of
unrealized gains attributable to equity securities, $5.4 million of
unrealized gains attributable to investments in limited partnerships and $0.3
million of unrealized gains attributable to other invested assets. Such
unrealized investment losses are reflected in stockholder's equity, net of a
$9.1 million adjustment in deferred policy acquisition costs and unearned
revenue reserves and $29.8 million in deferred income tax effects. At
December 31, 1993, SLC had pretax unrealized investment gains totaling $33.9
million, consisting of $21.4 million of unrealized gains related to available
for sale fixed maturities, $7.2 million of unrealized gains attributable to
equity securities, and $5.3 million of unrealized gains attributable to
investments in limited partnerships. Such unrealized investment gains were
reflected in stockholders' equity, net of a $10.4 million adjustment in
deferred policy acquisition costs and unearned revenue reserves, a $5.2
million adjustment for the minority interest in certain unrealized investment
losses and $8.2 million in deferred income tax effects. The unrealized losses
related to available for sale fixed maturities at December 31, 1994 are
primarily as a result of declines in market interest rates since December 31,
1993. Except as may be required to meet its liquidity requirements, SLC has
no current plans and management does not believe that SLC will be required
over the near-term to liquidate a significant portion of such available for
sale fixed maturities and incur such losses. As a result of declining
long-term interest rates experienced during the first two months of 1995, the
unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturity securities had
declined approximately $45.0 million, from $101.0 million at December 31,
1994, to approximately $56.0 million at February 28, 1995.
FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES. The Company's fixed maturity portfolio
generally includes government and corporate debt securities and CMOs.
Historically, this portfolio has been structured, in part, to balance
desirable yields with credit concerns. The Company has concentrated its fixed
maturity investments within categories that are rated investment-grade,
while, in certain instances, holding selected noninvestment-grade securities
that provide higher yields. The Company classifies its high-yield securities
as noninvestment-grade if they are unrated or are rated less than "BBB-" by
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Baa by Moody's Investor Service
("Moody's"). Based on such classifications, the Company's
noninvestment-grade, fixed maturity securities represented 4.2% of the
Company's consolidated cash and invested assets at December 31, 1994 as
compared to 4.0% at December 31, 1993 and 3.8%
16
at December 31, 1992.
Following is a summary of the Company's fixed maturity investments
segregated by investment quality based on S&P ratings and the two categories
of such investments as reflected in SLC's consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1994 (in millions):

(1) Bonds not rated by S&P are classified according to the rating assigned
to them by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the
"NAIC") as follows: for the purposes of the table, NAIC Class 1 is
included in the "A" rating; Class 2, "BBB-"; Class 3, "BB-"; and
Classes 4-6, "B and Below."
Noninvestment-grade debt securities generally provide higher yields, but
involve greater risks than investment-grade debt securities because these
securities are often unsecured and subordinated to other debt, and because
the issuers of noninvestment-grade debt securities typically are more highly
leveraged and, therefore, more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions than
issuers of investment-grade debt securities. In addition, the trading market
for these securities is usually more limited than for investment-grade debt
securities. The Company continually reviews the percentage of its portfolio
that is invested in noninvestment-grade debt securities (NAIC designations 3
through 6) and intends to maintain the percentage holdings of such securities
at or below the current level.
At December 31, 1994, corporate debt securities then defaulted as to
principal and/or interest had been marked to market and constituted less than
a 1% of the Company's total fixed maturity securities.
DERIVATIVE CMOS. SLC's insurance subsidiaries hold investments in two
derivative CMOs, generally known as "kitchen sink" bonds, that resulted from
actions taken in late 1992 and mid 1993 to reduce the Company's exposure to
further loss of principal on a substantial portfolio of directly-held
derivative CMOs. These investments include certain Class B pass-through
certificates issued by Fund America (the "Fund America Investment") and the
residual interest (the "SIST Residual") in a special purpose trust, the
Secured Investors Structured Trust, 1993-1 ("SIST"). Both the Fund America
Investment and the SIST Residual represent residual or junior interests in
the cash flows from two trusts created in 1993, as described below.
Substantially all of each trust's cash flows from the investments within
these trusts is applied first to the payment of interest on the trust's
outstanding senior debt, with the remainder being applied to reduce the
principal balance of the senior debt. Except for the cash flows from one
relatively small investment held in the Fund America Trust, SLC's insurance
subsidiaries, as holders of the residual interests in these trusts, are not
entitled to receive any of the cash flows from these trusts until the senior
debt has been fully repaid. Thereafter, all cash flows from the underlying
securities in these trusts will be paid to SLC's insurance subsidiaries. As
discussed below, primarily as a result of a rising interest rate environment
and resultant negative market perceptions relative to these types of
investments, the Company realized investment losses totaling $86.2 million on
these investments during 1994.
CMO investments generally offer relatively high yields and, because of
the quality of the underlying collateral, such as residential mortgage loans,
are usually given the highest credit ratings by S&P and Moody's. Beginning in
late
17
1990 and continuing through 1991, management utilized a strategy of investing
in CMOs to enhance the credit quality of SLC's investment portfolio without
incurring a reduction in investment yields. A significant portion of these
investments were represented by conventional CMO obligations that had
predictable cash flows and little risk of loss of principal. However, the
Company also invested substantial amounts in derivative CMOs, such as
principal-only certificates, interest-only certificates, inverse floaters,
and residual interests. Although highly rated, such derivative CMOs can
produce yields substantially higher than conventional CMOs, but are sensitive
to changes in market interest rates and there is substantial risk of loss of
principal associated with such investments.
Beginning in the last half of 1991 and continuing throughout 1992,
market interest rates declined significantly and, as a consequence, mortgage
loan interest rates declined to their lowest levels in approximately 25
years. Concurrently, the levels of mortgage loan refinancings and prepayments
reached unprecedented high levels. Based on such factors, SLC incurred
significant losses relative to its derivative CMOs and realized investment
losses on such investments totaling $138.5 million during 1992.
Beginning in mid 1992, SLC began exploring ways to reduce its exposure
to the prepayment risks associated with its remaining portfolio of
derivative-type CMOs, including retaining an unaffiliated investment advisor
and an investment banking firm to examine strategic alternatives regarding
such investments. The primary objectives were to liquidate a substantial
portion of the Company's investments in these types of securities without
incurring significant additional losses, to protect the Company against
future economic losses, and to reduce the accounting volatility associated
with these types of investments. Following extensive analysis of SLC's
portfolio of derivative CMOs, it was the belief of management and SLC's
advisors that the marketplace had significantly underpriced the individual
securities within the portfolio and that a structure involving unaffiliated
parties could be formed that would allow SLC to meet all of its objectives.
In conjunction with the sale of Bankers in November 1992, derivative
CMOs previously owned by Bankers with a carrying value of $251.0 million were
placed in the Trust sponsored by I.C.H. Funding Corporation, an SLC
subsidiary ("ICH Funding"). Bankers was issued a $159.2 million bond
("collateralized mortage note obligation") and SLC retained a residual
interest in the Trust totaling $91.8 million. All cash flows from the Trust
were to be applied first to the repayment of the collateralized mortgage note
obligation due Bankers, with interest at 8.5%, and SLC was given an option to
purchase the remaining collateralized mortgage note obligation from Bankers
within 90 days following the sale of Bankers. Due to continuing high levels
of prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans, at year-end 1992, SLC
reflected a writedown of its investment in the Trust to its fair value of
approximately $79.7 million. In February 1993, the SIST was formed by
transferring substantially all of the remaining assets held in the Trust.
Interests in the SIST totaling $171.0 million were sold to unaffiliated
parties, including $111.0 million of bonds bearing interest at the floating
thirty-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2 1/2% and $60.0
million of bonds at a fixed rate of 8.0%. SLC utilized $142.1 million of the
proceeds to retire the remaining collateralized mortgage note obligation due
Bankers and, after underwriting expenses, SLC received $24.5 million in cash,
which was applied to reduce its remaining carrying value in the SIST Residual.
In structuring the SIST, additional securities were added at a cost of
$6.8 million solely to collateralize the SIST Residual, which had a carrying
value of $55.2 million following the formation of the SIST. These securities
consisted of the principal component of bonds (the "RFCO Strips") issued by
the Resolution Funding Corporation, a mixed-ownership government corporation
established for the sole purpose of providing financing for the Resolution
Trust Corporation, the agency charged with resolving failed savings and loan
associations. By its terms, the payment of the RFCO Strips are due in full in
a single payment of $58.0 million in January 2021, which amount management
believes to be sufficient to assure SLC's recovery of its carrying value in
the SIST Residual. Although not obligations of, or guaranteed as to principal
by the United States of America, the Offering Circular for the RFCO Strips
stated that the principal amounts of the RFCO Strips would be fully repaid
from proceeds of noninterest bearing obligations of the United States issued
by the Secretary of the Treasury and deposited in a separate account at the
Federal Reserve Bank in New York.
Effective July 30, 1993, SLC and its subsidiaries, along with CFLIC,
entered into a transaction designed to substantially reduce their exposure to
the prepayment risks associated with their remaining investments in
derivative CMOs, including liquidating a substantial portion of such
investments. SLC's subsidiaries and CFLIC sold directly-owned derivative CMOs
with carrying values of approximately $137.7 million and $26.5 million,
respectively, to an
18
unaffiliated party, Fund America. In addition, SLC and CFLIC sold to Fund
America 75% of their rights with respect to the SIST Residual with carrying
values of $7.0 million and $33.7 million, respectively. CFLIC had acquired
its interest in the SIST Residual in conjunction with its acquisition from
SLC of an 83% interest in ICH Funding as discussed in Note 4 of Notes to
Financial Statements. Fund America sponsored the formation of a trust (the
"Fund America Trust") into which it deposited the purchased securities.
Interests in the Fund America Trust aggregating $218.0 million were sold to
unaffiliated parties, of which $217.0 million represented senior debt bearing
interest at the floating thirty-day LIBOR plus 2.0%. Of the gross sale
proceeds, $113.7 million was utilized to purchase securities which were added
to the Fund America Trust, $8.9 million was utilized to acquire RFCO Strips
to solely collateralize the Class B pass-through certificates, $5.0 million
was utilized to pay underwriting and other expenses, and $90.4 million was
utilized as partial consideration for the purchase of the securities from SLC
and its subsidiaries and CFLIC. The remainder of the consideration received
by SLC and it subsidiaries and CFLIC consisted of $101.0 million face value,
or 99%, of the Class B pass-through certificates issued by the Fund America
Trust with a fair value, as determined by the investment banking firm, of
$91.4 million, assuming an 11% discount rate. The Fund America Investment was
recorded at its fair value and SLC recognized a loss on the transaction
totaling $15.1 million. Such loss was offset, in part, by gains totaling
$11.8 million on the disposal of other securities utilized to hedge SLC's
investments in the derivative CMOs. The RFCO Strips added to collateralize
the Fund America Investment are to be paid in a single payment totaling
$102.0 million in April 2030, and management believes such amount are
sufficient to fully recover SLC's investment.
Management had originally intended to reflect the Fund America
Investment and the SIST Residual at their amortized cost in the held to
maturity category of fixed maturity securities to eliminate the accounting
volatility associated with these types of investments. In late 1993, the
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued EITF Issue No. 93-18, "Impairment Recognition for a
Purchased Investment in a Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Investment or in
a Mortgage-Backed Interest Only Certificate," which provided an analytical
framework for measuring the impairment of certain "high risk" CMOs and which
has been widely used to provide guidance as to when writedowns should be
taken on CMO investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115. Under EITF No.
93-18, if the future cash flows from an investment on a discounted basis
utilizing a "risk free" rate of return are projected to be less than the
investment's amortized cost, an "other than temporary" writedown to fair
value is required through a charge to earnings. In addition, authoritative
sources indicated that it was doubtful whether these types of investments
could ever be classified in the held to maturity category of fixed
maturities. Accordingly, at December 31, 1993, SLC classified its Fund
America Investment and the SIST Residual as available for sale and reduced
the carrying value of such investments from $95.5 million to their estimated
fair value, assuming an 11% annual return to maturity, of $67.1 million. Such
reduction, totaling $28.4 million, was reflected as an unrealized investment
loss through a charge to stockholders' equity.
The Fund America Investment and the SIST Residual are both highly
sensitive to changes in mortgage loan prepayment rates and changes in market
interest rates, particularly the one-month LIBOR upon which interest payments
to holders of senior classes of these investments are generally based. At
December 31, 1993, the one-month LIBOR was approximately 3.2% and, primarily
as a result of the rising interest rate environment experienced throughout
1994, had increased to approximately 5.9% as of December 31, 1994. Such
increase in LIBOR had a significant impact on the estimate of future cash
flows that would be required to service the senior classes of debt. The
ultimate expected maturities of the senior debt were extended approximately
five years in the case of the Fund America Trust and approximately three
years in the case of the SIST as a result of the increase in estimated cash
flows needed to service the interest portion of such debt. The rise in LIBOR
in 1994 and its effect on projected cash flows was offset, in part, by a
significant decline in mortgage loan prepayments and refinancings, and, as a
consequence, the assumed rate of prepayments on underlying CMO investments
held in the Fund America Trust and the SIST were appropriately adjusted.
Under the provisions of EITF No. 93-18, the determination of when a loss
is to be "triggered" and reflected as a charge to earnings is a function of
both future cash flows and the "risk free" rate used to discount such cash
flows to their present value. At December 31, 1993, the "risk free" rate used
to value the Fund America Investment and the SIST Residual was 5.0%, or the
equivalent yield on a five-year U.S. Treasury obligation. As a result of both
rising interest rates in 1994 and the lengthening of the period over which
cash flows from these investments are expected to be received, the "risk
free" rate utilized at December 31, 1994 was 7.8%, or the equivalent of a
thirty-year U.S.
19
Treasury obligation. Such increase in the "risk free" rate substantially
lowered the threshold at which realized losses on these investments were
required to be recognized.
The determination of the fair values of the Fund America Investment and
the SIST Residual is primarily affected by the rate utilized to discount
future cash flows. At December 31, 1993, the discount rate assumed by an
investment banking firm to estimate the fair values of these investments was
11%, the same discount rate utilized to initially estimate the fair value of
these investments. Based, in part, on the perceived risks associated with
these types of investments and the turmoil experienced in the CMO marketplace
during 1994 as a result of significant losses incurred by certain investment
management funds investing in these types of instruments, the same investment
banking firm utilized a substantially higher 20.5% discount rate at December
31, 1994. Based on projected cash flows at December 31, 1994, this increase
in the assumed discount rate accounted for approximately $25 million of the
decrease in the fair value of these investments during 1994.
Due primarily to the increasing interest rate environment in 1994 and
its effect on the projected future cash flows of the Fund America Investment
and the SIST Residual as discussed above, realized investment losses on such
investments were "triggered" under the provisions of EITF No. 93-18 on two
occasions during 1994. For the three months ended March 31, 1994, SLC
reflected a charge to earnings for the writedown of these investments from
their GAAP book value totaling $96.4 million to their then fair value
totaling $50.0 million, or a total charge of $46.4 million. For the three
months ended December 31, 1994, SLC recorded an additional charge to earnings
for the writedown of the Fund America Investment from its GAAP book value
totaling $48.4 million to its estimated fair value of $8.6 million, or a
total charge of $39.7 million.
Following is information with respect to the amount and percentage of
senior debt outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1993, relative to each of
the Fund America Trust and SIST, and the related book value, carrying value,
and projected cash flows attributable to the Company's Fund America
Investment and the SIST Residual:

an investment banking firm.
(2) Represents the projected future cash flow attributable to the Company's
99% ownership in the Class B pass-through certificates issued by the
Fund America Trust (87% at December 31, 1993) and the Company's 25%
ownership in the SIST. The projected future cash flows and the
projected date of first receipt of cash flows were estimated by the
Company's investment adviser, NEAM, under an assumed unchanged future
interest rate environment at each of the respective dates.
The carrying values of the Fund America Investment and the SIST Residual
at December 31, 1994 approximates the fair value of the RFCO Strips included
in the trusts at December 31, 1994, and, therefore, management believes the
likelihood of additional writedowns in the foreseeable future is remote.
The declines in value of the Fund America Investment and the SIST
Residual have not had and are not expected to have any effect on the
Company's operating cash flows over the next several years. The writedowns
reflected relative to these investments will, however, have a significant
effect on earnings as reflected for financial reporting purposes. Prior to
the writedowns discussed above, the Company had accrued investment income on
these investments at 6.0% of their GAAP book value, or approximately $5.8
million of investment income in 1994.
20
Beginning in 1995, investment income will be accrued on these investments at
an average 16.5% of their GAAP book value, or approximately $2.5 million of
investment income. For statutory reporting purposes, the Investment Working
Group of the NAIC has tentatively decided not to follow or adopt the GAAP
accounting standards of SFAS No. 115 and EITF No. 93-18 described above. At
December 31, 1994, the combined carrying value of the investments for SAP
totaled $78.8 million.
OTHER INVESTMENTS. At December 31, 1994, $127.0 million in book value of
the Company's investment portfolio consisted of mortgage loans representing
5.4% of SLC's investment portfolio. The Company has a stated policy of not
directly initiating or making new mortgage loans, except under limited
circumstances, including primarily to finance sales of company-owned real
estate. New mortgage loans have totaled $1.8 million, $3.1 million and $17.0
million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. During 1994, SLC acquired
$7.9 million of mortgages as a distribution from one of its limited
partnership investments and $5.2 million of mortgages in conjunction with the
recapture of the CFLIC reinsurance agreement. Substantially all other
mortgage loans owned by the Company were as a result of the acquisitions of
life insurance companies in 1986 and prior years. At December 31, 1994,
mortgage loans delinquent by more than 60 days constituted amounted to $3.5
million, or 2.8% of total mortgage loans. At December 31, 1994, SLC provided
a $3.0 million reserve for possible mortgage loan losses through a
charge to earnings.
Real estate investments totaling $57.1 million and home office real estate
totaling $13.0 million represented 2.4% and 0.6% of the Company's investment
portfolio, respectively, at December 31, 1994. The Company has a stated
policy of not making real estate investments, except for foreclosures on its
existing mortgage loans. During 1994, there were no significant mortgage loan
foreclosures. Mortgage loan foreclosures totaled $3.2 million and $5.7
million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. During 1993, SLC fulfilled its
obligation to purchase certain real estate from former subsidiaries for
approximately $19.0 million. In addition, in conjunction with the sale of
Bankers in 1992, SLC purchased all of the real estate held by Bankers,
primarily its home office real estate, for $9.0 million. In 1992, Bankers
entered into a long-term lease for a portion of the property sold to SLC and
in 1994 SLC sold a substantial portion of the remaining property at a gain.
The remaining real estate acquired from Bankers, with a carrying value of
$4.1 million at December 31, 1994, is held for sale.
At December 31, 1994, the Company held limited partnership interests in
various partnerships with a carrying value totaling $42.0 million, as
compared to $43.6 million at year-end 1993 and $39.8 million at year-end
1992. These investments were made primarily to participate in the potential
appreciation resulting from certain leveraged buyouts and corporate
reorganizations. In addition, included in such investments at December 31,
1994 was a $21.1 million investment, representing a 49% limited partnership
interest, in a partnership formed to acquire, through auction, certain
mortgage loans and real estate formerly held by failed savings and loan
associations for resale. The Company believes that, on a selective basis,
these investments offer attractive risk-adjusted returns; however, such
investments are not readily marketable and, in the event of a need for
liquidity, the Company may be unable to quickly convert such investments into
cash. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional
information regarding the Company's investments in limited partnerships.
The Company's investment portfolio at December 31, 1994, also included
approximately $229.5 million of cash and short-term investments, plus certain
fixed maturity investments (U.S. government agency-backed and mortgage-backed
securities and publicly traded, investment-grade bonds) that could be readily
converted to cash at or near carrying value with a carrying value of
approximately $1,625.6 million. At December 31, 1994, these liquid
investments constituted 79% of the Company's total cash and invested assets.
REINSURANCE
Indemnity reinsurance is an arrangement or "treaty" under which an
insurance company, the "reinsurer," agrees to indemnify another insurance
company, the "ceding company," for all or a portion of the insurance risks
underwritten by the ceding company. Generally, the Company enters into
indemnity reinsurance arrangements to assist in diversifying its risks and to
limit its maximum loss on large risks, including risks that exceed SLC's
applicable policy-retention limits, currently ranging up to $500,000 per
insured for individual life insurance products. Indemnity reinsurance does
not discharge the ceding insurer's liability to meet policy claims on the
reinsured business. The ceding
21
insurer remains responsible for policy claims on the reinsured business to
the extent the reinsurer fails to pay such claims. The Company reinsures with
unaffiliated insurance companies, except that Southwestern Life reinsures a
block of interest-sensitive life business from Modern American. The in force
amount under this reinsurance treaty with Modern American at December 31,
1994 was approximately $455.7 million.
Under most of the Company's reinsurance arrangements, new insurance and
annuity sales are reinsured automatically rather than on a basis that would
require the reinsurer's prior approval. The Company pays reinsurance premiums
to such reinsurers which are, in general, based upon percentages of premiums
received by the Company on the business reinsured less, in certain cases,
ceding commissions and experience refunds paid by the reinsurer to the
Company. Such agreements are generally terminable at any time as to new risks
by either the Company or the reinsurer on appropriate notice; however, such
termination does not affect risks ceded during the term of the agreement,
which generally remain with the reinsurer, subject, in specified cases, to
specified rights on the part of the Company to recapture such risks.
Insurance in force ceded in 1994 under indemnity reinsurance agreements
totaled approximately $1.5 billion. See Note 11 of Notes to Financial
Statements.
In a few instances, SLC's subsidiaries have ceded blocks of insurance to
unaffiliated reinsurers to provide funds for enhancing surplus, financing
acquisitions, and other purposes. Under these financing arrangements,
statutorily determined profits on the reinsured business are accelerated
through the reinsurer's payment of ceding commissions representing the
present value of profits on the business over the reinsurance period. These
reinsurance transactions, or so-called "surplus relief reinsurance" represent
financing arrangements and, in accordance with GAAP, are not reflected in the
accompanying financial statements, except for the ceding fees paid to or
received from reinsurers. Statutory surplus provided by such treaties before
tax effects totaled $57.8 million at December 31, 1994, or approximately 12%
more than the $51.5 million of surplus relief at December 31, 1993 primarily
as a result of the $20.7 million net ceding fee incurred by Employers
Reassurance Corporation ("ERC") to effect the recapture of certain
reinsurance from CFLIC. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements. These
arrangements are expected to terminate over the next several years through
the recapture of the ceded blocks of business and such recaptures will result
in a charge to the statutory earnings of the recapturing companies.
Historically, reinsurance has not had a significant effect on SLC'S
consolidated results of operations, with net ceded premium income and other
considerations representing 6% or less of total premium income and other
considerations in each of the past three years.
ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATIONS
The administrative operations of most of SLC's subsidiaries are
consolidated through FMI, the service corporation subsidiary of SLC.
Functioning as the employer of substantially all of the employees performing
services in SLC's insurance operations, FMI provides management and
administrative services to SLC companies directly and through arrangements with
third parties. Claims administration, risk underwriting, regulatory compliance,
and development and marketing of insurance products are consolidated on behalf
of all of SLC's insurance subsidiaries and are generally separated for
servicing and performed on the basis of insurance product or business segment
instead of on a per subsidiary basis. A significant portion of the data
processing services required in the administrative operations of SLC's
insurance subsidiaries is provided by a third party vendor.
Because of the operational interrelationships among SLC's insurance
subsidiaries, the sales of subsidiaries in prior years have required changes
in the administrative operations of various SLC companies, including changes
in executive responsibilities and personnel requirements. The complete
separation of the operations of SLC's subsidiaries and the subsidiaries
previously sold occurred in 1993, with the expiration of the servicing
arrangements that were entered into when the former subsidiaries were sold in
1989 and 1990. Following a full-scale review, the administrative operations
of SLC's subsidiaries have been reorganized to reduce inefficiencies,
redundancies and excess capacities, and the operations of several companies
have been consolidated across product lines in a primary location under a
common management team.
22
COMPETITION
The insurance industry is highly competitive, with approximately 2,000
life and health insurance companies in the United States. Certain large
insurers and insurance holding company systems have substantially greater
capital and surplus, larger and more diversified portfolios of life and
health insurance policies, and larger agency sales operations than those of
SLC's insurance subsidiaries. Financial and claims paying ratings
assigned to insurers by the nationally recognized independent rating
agencies, always a key ingredient, have in some markets become preemptive,
especially in the area of accumulation products. SLC's insurance subsidiaries
also are encountering increased competition from banks, securities brokerage
firms, and other financial intermediaries marketing insurance products and
other investments, such as savings accounts and securities. SLC's life
insurance subsidiaries, like all life insurance companies, can expect greatly
increased competition from banks due to a recent judicial decision and
potential congressional action. In January, the U.S. Supreme Court held that
national banks may market and sell fixed, variable, and hybrid annuities.
Also in 1995, bills have been introduced in Congress that would substantially
widen the opportunities for banks to participate in the insurance industry,
including allowing banks to sell insurance products and bank holding
companies to own insurance companies.
SLC's insurance subsidiaries compete primarily on the basis of experience,
size, accessibility, cost structure and pricing, claims responsiveness,
product design and diversity, service, and distribution. SLC believes that
its insurance subsidiaries are generally competitive based on premium rates
and service, have longstanding relationships with their agents, and offer a
diverse portfolio of products.
RATINGS
SLC's subordinated debt and preferred stock are rated by Moody's and S&P.
These agencies, along with Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Company ("Duff &
Phelps"), have also rated the claims paying ability of certain of SLC's
insurance subsidiaries. In addition, A.M. Best, an agency specializing in the
rating of insurance companies, has assigned ratings to each of SLC's
insurance subsidiaries. Since 1992, substantially all of the ratings issued
by these agencies have reflected ratings downgrades due primarily to
continuing high levels of debt at the parent company level. As a result of
these downgrades, SLC has a subordinated debt rating of "C" by Moody's and
"C" by S&P, and a preferred stock rating of "C" by Moody's and "C" by S&P
(all of which are below investment grade). SLC's lead life insurance
subsidiary, Southwestern Life, has a "B+" rating by A.M. Best (very good), a
claims paying rating of "B" by Duff & Phelps, and "B+" by S&P. Additionally,
Moody's has assigned an insurance financial strength rating of "B2"
(poor) to Southwestern Life. Bankers New York has been assigned a rating of
"A-" and the remaining SLC subsidiaries have been assigned a rating of "B+"
by A.M. Best. For many of these ratings, SLC and its subsidiaries remain
under review, with negative implications.
The following ratings downgrades, beginning in 1991 and continuing into
1995, were precipitated by the amount of corporate debt remaining from SLC's
prior acquisitions, the perceived interdependence of the SLC's holding
company structure, high and continuing leverage at the parent company, and
losses incurred in connection with past investment strategies: Duff & Phelps
lowered the claims paying abilities of certain SLC subsidiaries in January
1993, October 1994, and January 1995; A.M. Best lowered its ratings in
February 1993 and January 1995; Moody's lowered the subordinated debt,
preferred stock, and insurance financial strength ratings in June 1993 and
January 1995; and S&P lowered the subordinated debt, preferred stock, and
claims paying ratings in November 1992 and January 1995. These factors have
also contributed to increased regulatory oversight of the SLC insurance holding
company organization.
The ratings assigned to SLC and its insurance subsidiaries have a
significant effect on SLC's ability to issue debt securities, as well as the
interest rates that SLC must pay in order to borrow funds. The claims paying
ratings assigned to SLC's subsidiaries could have a significant effect on a
given subsidiary's ability to market its products, as well as its ability to
retain its presently existing insurance in force.
REGULATION
GENERAL. SLC's insurance subsidiaries are subject to comprehensive
regulation in the various states in which they are authorized to do business.
The laws of these states establish supervisory agencies with broad
administrative
23
powers, among other things, to grant and revoke licenses for transacting
business, to regulate trade practices, reserve requirements, the form and
content of policies, and the types and amounts of investments, and to review
premium rates for fairness and adequacy. These supervisory agencies
periodically examine the business and accounts of insurance companies,
including SLC's insurance subsidiaries, and require them to file detailed
annual financial statements and reports prepared in accordance with SAP. In
addition, as an insurance holding company, SLC is also subject to regulatory
oversight in the states in which its insurance subsidiaries are domiciled and
conduct business.
REGULATORY REVIEW. In recent years increased scrutiny has been placed upon
the insurance industry generally and the adequacy of the existing state
regulatory framework in particular. In light of these developments, the NAIC
and state insurance regulators have also become involved in the process of
reexamining existing laws and regulations and their application to insurance
companies. In addition, in connection with its accreditation of states to
conduct periodic examinations, the NAIC has encouraged and persuaded states
to adopt model NAIC laws on specific topics, such as holding company
regulations, the structure of reinsurance transactions and the definition of
extraordinary dividends. During 1992 and continuing through 1994, in part as
a result of these activities, SLC's insurance subsidiaries became subject to
substantially more oversight by insurance regulators than had been the case
in the past, and such increased oversight will likely continue in 1995 and
future periods.
During 1992, a special working group of the NAIC (the "Group"), which
included the representatives of the insurance departments of seven states,
conducted an extensive review of the operations and financial condition of
SLC and its respective insurance subsidiaries. Management believes that the
concerns raised in 1992 by the Group have been resolved. Nevertheless, the
Group has indicated it will continue to monitor, to the extent it deems
appropriate, the activities and the operations of SLC and its insurance
subsidiaries.
REGULATION OF DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. As a holding company with no other
business operations, SLC's primary sources of cash needed to meet its
obligations, including principal and interest payments on its outstanding
indebtedness, are sales of and interest on its investments and dividends from
its insurance subsidiaries. SLC's insurance subsidiaries are subject to
various regulatory restrictions on the maximum amount of payments, including
loans or cash advances, that they may make to SLC without obtaining prior
regulatory approval. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information regarding dividend restrictions.
MINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Effective with statutory annual statements
filed for the year ended December 31, 1993, and thereafter, all life
insurance companies are required to calculate, utilizing NAIC formulas, their
levels of total adjusted capital and risk-based capital. A ratio (the "RBC
ratio") is then determined based on the company's level of adjusted capital
to its risk-based capital.
In states that have adopted the NAIC regulations, including each of the
states where the Company's insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, the RBC
requirements provide for four different levels of regulatory attention
depending on an insurance company's base adjusted capital ("BAC") ratio. The
BAC ratio is defined as two times the RBC ratio. The "Company Action Level"
is triggered if a company's BAC ratio is less than 200% but greater than or
equal to 150%, or if a negative trend has occurred (as defined by the
regulations) and the company's BAC ratio is less than 250%. At the Company
Action Level, the affected company must submit a comprehensive plan to its
regulatory authority that discusses proposed corrective actions to improve
its capital position. The "Regulatory Action Level" is triggered if a
company's BAC ratio is less than 150% but greater than or equal to 100%. At
the Regulatory Action Level, the regulatory authority will perform a special
examination of the affected company and issue an order specifying corrective
actions that must be followed. The "Authorized Control Level" is triggered if
a company's BAC ratio is less than 100% but greater than or equal to 70%, and
the regulatory authority may take any action it deems necessary, including
placing the company under regulatory control. The "Mandatory Control Level"
is triggered if a company's BAC ratio is less than 70%, and the regulatory
authority is mandated to place the affected company under its control.
Management believes that the levels of capital in SLC's insurance
subsidiaries are sufficient to meet RBC requirements. Based on the NAIC's
formulas, the RBC ratios for all but one of SLC's life insurance subsidiaries,
based on financial statements as filed with regulatory authorities, exceeded
300% at December 31, 1994. One subsidiary's
24
RBC ratio approximated 208% and management is in the process of evaluating
alternatives to achieve at least a 300% RBC ratio for such subsidiary by
year-end 1995.
GUARANTY FUNDS. From time to time, assessments are levied on SLC's
insurance subsidiaries by life and health guaranty associations in those
states in which they are licensed to do business. Such assessments are made
primarily to cover the losses of policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated
insurers. In some states, these assessments can be partially recovered
through a reduction in future premium taxes. SLC's insurance subsidiaries
paid assessments of $2.7 million in 1994.
CERTAIN AGREEMENTS WITH REGULATORY AUTHORITIES. Certain subsidiaries of
SLC have entered into agreements with state insurance departments which
impose restrictions or reporting requirements in connection with their
operations of business or their payments of dividends. In management's view,
none of these regulatory agreements have adversely affected the insurance
business of the Company.
In conjunction with the receipt of the approval of the Texas Department
required for the restructuring of SLC's insurance holding company
organization in September 1993, SLC and its Texas-based subsidiaries,
Southwestern Life and Union Bankers, entered into an agreement with the Texas
Department, which superseded a prior regulatory agreement they had entered
into on March 31, 1993. Among other things, the agreement with the Texas
Department requires SLC, Southwestern Life and Union Bankers to provide the
Texas Department with designated information on an on-going basis relating to
surrenders on Southwestern Life and its subsidiaries, Constitution Life and
Bankers New York, and departures of executive officers, among other areas;
requires Southwestern Life to provide 30 days prior notice of the payment of
any stockholder dividend, to limit the amount it invests in private placement
securities, and to not invest in interest-only CMOs; and requires 30 days
prior notice of any financial reinsurance transaction or acquisition of
business through assumption reinsurance by either Southwestern Life or Union
Bankers. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional
information regarding dividend restrictions.
REGULATION AT FEDERAL LEVEL. Although the federal government generally
does not directly regulate the insurance business, federal initiatives often
have effects on the business in a variety of ways. Current and proposed
federal measures that may significantly affect the insurance business include
limitations on antitrust immunity, minimum solvency requirements, the removal
of barriers restricting banks from engaging in the insurance and mutual fund
business and changes in the taxation of insurance companies and the products
they market. It is not possible to predict the outcome of any such
congressional activity or the potential effects thereof on the Company or its
business.
HEALTH REFORM LEGISLATION. Numerous legislative proposals have been
introduced or proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures that would
effect major changes in the U.S. health care system nationally or at the
state level. Certain proposals, such as cutbacks in the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, containment of health care costs on an interim basis by means that
could include a freeze on prices charged by physicians, hospitals and other
health care providers, and permitting states greater flexibility in the
administration of Medicaid, could adversely affect the Company. There can be
no assurance that currently proposed or future health care legislation or
other changes in the administration or interpretation of governmental health
care programs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results.
OTHER REGULATION. During 1993, the NAIC initiated the process of drafting
a model investment act. In general, the currently drafted investment act is
more restrictive than the present investment laws of the states in which
SLC's insurance subsidiaries are domiciled. If adopted, it is likely that
such model investment act would limit the types of investments that can be
made by SLC's insurance subsidiaries in future periods, as well as the
amounts that could be invested in various investment categories, which could
result in an overall reduction in investment yields.
RESERVES
In accordance with applicable insurance laws, SLC's insurance subsidiaries
have established and carry as liabilities actuarial reserves to meet their
respective policy obligations. Life insurance reserves, when added to interest
thereon at certain assumed rates and premiums to be received on outstanding
policies, are calculated to be sufficient to meet policy obligations. The
actuarial factors used in determining such reserves are based on statutorily
prescribed
25
mortality and interest rates. Reserves maintained for health insurance
include the unearned premiums under each policy, reserves for claims that
have been reported but are not yet due, and reserves for claims that have
been incurred but have not been reported. Furthermore, for all health
policies under which renewability is guaranteed, additional reserves are
maintained in recognition of the actuarially calculated probability that the
frequency and amount of claims will increase as the attained age of the
insured increases. SLC's insurance subsidiaries maintain reserves on
reinsured business once it is assumed by them and take credit for reserves on
reinsured business after it is ceded to other insurers by them. Reserves for
the assumed reinsurance are computed on bases essentially comparable to
direct insurance reserves. See Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information regarding reserve assumptions under GAAP.
EMPLOYEES
At March 1, 1995, SLC and its subsidiaries employed a total of
approximately 1,000 persons, excluding agents who are not employees but are
independent contractors. This reflects a decrease in employees from 1,300 at
December 31, 1993 and 1,500 at December 31, 1992 (excluding employees of
Bankers). The consolidation of most of the Company's operations in Dallas, Texas
in 1993 and 1994, and reductions-in-force instituted in such years to reduce
costs and increase operating efficiencies, primarily account for the reduction
in employees.
ITEM 1A. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF REGISTRANT.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Modern American is a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed by William
D. Castle and others on or about May 14, 1993 in the Circuit Court of Jackson
County, Missouri, styled WILLIAM D. CASTLE, ET AL. V. MODERN AMERICAN LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, CV93-10275 (the "CASTLE case"). The suit purports to be
brought on behalf of a class of persons who own what plaintiffs denominate as
charter contracts, issued by life insurance companies merged into or acquired by
Modern American and its predecessors. The petition alleges breach of contract,
and seeks declaratory judgment, costs, expenses and such other relief as the
Court deems appropriate. As an alternative, the petition seeks rescission. SLC
was added as a defendant to the CASTLE case by an amended petition, filed
February 16, 1993, alleging
27
that SLC should be liable for any judgment against Modern American because
SLC is the "alter ego" of Modern American and because SLC tortiously
interfered with Modern American's contracts with the plaintiffs. SLC's motion
to dismiss the amended petition as to SLC has been denied. On July 27, 1994,
the Circuit Court entered an order relative to the plaintiffs' motion for
certification of the suit as a class action and certified six subclasses
composed of the persons who own or owned the so-called charter contracts
purchased from Modern American and five of its predecessor corporations. A
motion for summary judgment on the breach of contract claim filed by Modern
American was overruled on October 19, 1994, and on such date plaintiffs'
Notice of Class Action was approved by the court. Modern American's motion
for partial summary judgment regarding plaintiffs' request for rescission
based upon alleged fraud is awaiting decision. In January 1995, the trial
court judge set the CASTLE case for trial commencing July 31, 1995.
On or about October 12, 1993, the Plaintiffs in the CASTLE case also
filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cole County, Missouri, naming Modern
American and the Director of the Missouri Department of Insurance (the "Missouri
Director") as Defendants. The second lawsuit, styled ROBERT J. MEYER, ET AL. V.
JAY ANGOFF DIRECTOR OF THE MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AND MODERN AMERICAN
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, CV193-1331CC (the "MEYER case"), is an appeal from
the regulatory proceedings before the Missouri Department of Insurance, by which
Modern American received regulatory approvals required for it to participate in
the restructuring of the SLC insurance holding company organization. The
restructuring was completed on or about September 29, 1993. The Plaintiffs in
the MEYER case are seeking reversal or remand of the Director's Order of
approval. On February 1, 1994 and July 15, 1994, the Cole County Circuit Court
issued orders affirming the Order of the Missouri Director, which approved the
reorganization of Modern American. On August 16, 1994, the plaintiffs appealed
the Cole County Circuit Court's order to the Missouri Court of Appeals. On March
14, 1995, the Missouri Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the Cole County
Circuit Court and remanded the case for further proceedings. Specifically, the
Missouri Court of Appeals remanded the case to the Cole County Circuit Court for
a trial de novo of those transactions approved by the Director pursuant to Ch.
382 of the Missouri Revised Statutes. Management has instructed its counsel to
petition the Court of Appeals for a rehearing.
Although it is not possible at this time to make a meaningful assessment
of the outcome of the litigation described above, SLC believes it has
meritorious defenses to both the CASTLE and MEYER cases and intends to
defend both cases vigorously. An unfavorable decision in any of these cases,
however, could have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of
SLC.
A subsidiary of SLC, together with six other parties, has been notified by
the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (formerly known as the Texas
Water Commission) that it is a potentially responsible party under Texas
environmental law with respect to certain property owned by that subsidiary and
leased to a third party in Texas. That property is part of a tract of
approximately 17 acres that allegedly has been contaminated with creosote. The
potentially responsible parties have engaged an environmental consulting firm to
investigate the extent of the contamination and develop a clean-up plan, after
which the costs of the clean-up can be estimated. The Phase I Remedial
Investigation was completed during the first half of 1993, and the Phase I
Remedial Investigation Technical Memorandum (Phase I Report) was finalized by
the end of 1993. Phase II of the Remedial Investigation and the risk assessment
were delayed, but are currently scheduled to be performed during 1995. SLC's
subsidiary has agreed to pay 6% of the cost of the investigation, and a former
SLC subsidiary, which SLC has agreed to indemnify, has also agreed to pay 6% of
the cost of the investigation. There is no agreement among the potentially
responsible parties with regard to any responsibility for or the allocation of
costs of any remedial action which may ultimately be determined necessary. A
potentially responsible party brought an action, TOWNE SQUARE ASSOCIATES AND
MILLENNIUM III REAL ESTATE CORPORATION V. GSV PROPERTIES, ET AL., Cause No.
91-15951, filed November 1991 in the 250th Judicial District, Travis County,
Texas, naming the other potentially responsible parties defendants, including
SLC's subsidiary and former subsidiary. SLC's subsidiary and former subsidiary
asserted a counterclaim against the plaintiff as well as the other defendants,
contesting their status as potentially responsible parties and seeking
contribution and/or indemnity. The claims between the plaintiff and SLC's
subsidiary and former subsidiary have now been resolved and the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission is contesting the Court's jurisdiction over the
remaining claims.
SLC, and Robert L. Beisenherz and Robert T. Shaw, each a former Chairman of
the Company, and certain former affiliates of the Company, were added by an
Amended Complaint, filed December 3, 1993, as defendants in
28
a lawsuit pending in Marion Circuit Court in Indianapolis, Indiana, MUTUAL
SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, BY ITS LIQUIDATOR, JOHN F. MORTELL V. JAMES
M. FAIL, EMILY S. FAIL, JACK A. GOCHENAUR, ALVIN R. TOWNSEND, SR., JANICE T.
TOWNSEND, CHARLES D. CASPER, HARRY T. CARNEAL, CLIFFORD G. SMITH, KATHERYN F.
SMITH, THOMAS K. PENNINGTON, MICHAEL BOEDEKER, MELVIN R. SCHOCK, LIFESHARES
GROUP, INC., LSC-MARKETING, INC., LIFESHARES SERVICES COMPANY, MICHAEL S.
LANG, LANG ASSOCIATES, INC., BETA FINANCIAL CORPORATION, THE OKLAHOMA BANK,
ROBERT T. SHAW, CONSOLIDATED NATIONAL CORPORATION, I.C.H. CORPORATION,
BANKERS LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY, MARQUETTE NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
ROBERT L. BEISENHERZ, MARILYN BEISENHERZ, THEODORE L. KESSNER, AND CROSBY,
GUENZEL, DAVIS, KESSNER & KUESTER (the "MUTUAL SECURITY case"). On January 3,
1994, the suit was removed to the United States District Court, the Southern
District of Indiana at Indianapolis, Case No. IP94-0001 C. A Second Amended
Complaint was filed on or about May 18, 1994. The Plaintiff, the Indiana
Commissioner of Insurance, who had been appointed Liquidator of Mutual
Security Life Insurance Company ("MSL") pursuant to a Final Order of
Liquidation entered on December 6, 1991, alleges in the Second Amended
Complaint that the defendant, James M. Fail, and others acquired control of
MSL through a series of transactions and misused assets of MSL to acquire
control of Bluebonnet Savings Bank, FSB ("Bluebonnet"), thereby contributing
to the insolvency of MSL. The allegations against the Company arise primarily
from a loan that was made to Fail in 1989 by Bankers, at that time a
subsidiary of the Company. The Plaintiff alleges that the Company and others
are liable for the acts of Fail under doctrines of joint venture and
conspiracy, including alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced &
Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. Section 1961, ET SEQ. The
complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, treble damages, costs,
attorney fees and all other appropriate relief. On March 30, 1994, motions to
dismiss were filed by CNC and its indirect subsidiary, Marquette. Motions to
dismiss were also filed on behalf of Robert T. Shaw and CNC, as well as
Robert L. Beisenherz. All such motions are awaiting decision.
On November 22, 1994, a second lawsuit was filed in the United States
District Court in the Southern District of Indiana, Case No. IP94-1934-C-M/S, by
the plaintiff liquidator of Mutual Security Life Insurance against essentially
the same defendants as in the Mutual Security case. This second suit seeks to
enjoin certain transfers of Bluebonnet stock set to occur in connection with the
settlement of another cause of action filed in Arizona. The court has denied
plaintiff liquidator's motion for preliminary injunction in this matter, and the
defendants have filed a motion to dismiss this suit as duplicative litigation.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the MUTUAL SECURITY
case and the related second suit and intends to defend each suit vigorously.
In July 1994, the IRS completed its examination of SLC for the years 1986
through 1989 and proposed deficiencies totaling approximately $127.7 million,
before interest. A substantial portion of the proposed deficiencies involved the
deductibility of approximately $444.0 million of interest expense on certain
surplus debentures issued by SLC's insurance subsidiaries. Management believes
the surplus debentures in question were legally enforceable debt instruments, as
opposed to equity contributions, and that the related interest was properly
deductible. Management disagreed with the proposed deficiencies and filed a
written protest with the IRS. On March 7, 1995, representatives of SLC met with
the IRS Appeals Officer at which meeting such Appeals Officer indicated his
tentative agreement with the Company's position that no portion of the
previously deducted interest expense on certain surplus debentures would be
disallowed. The Appeals Officer's decision is not final and is subject to
review. See Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The Company, James R. Kerber, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company, C. Fred Rice, a director and Senior Executive Vice
President of the Company, Charles L. Duncan, a director of the Company, and
Robert L. Beisenherz, a former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, are defendants in a class action lawsuit styled, CHARLES OPTIZ, RAY
SCHULMAN, CHARLES HALL, FRANK E. ORENSTEIN, AND WYDE LUMBER & SUPPLY CORP.
PROFIT SHARING PLAN V. CHARLES L. DUNCAN, ROBERT L. BEISENHERZ, C. FRED RICE,
JAMES R. KERBER AND SOUTHWESTERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, filed in U.S. District
Court, Northern District of Texas, on March 21, 1995, Case Number 3-95CV-0416G.
The Plaintiffs seek relief on behalf of themselves and all other persons who
purchased the Company's preferred and/or common stock between April 9, 1993 and
February 3, 1995, due to alleged violations of the securities laws, specifically
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder and for common law fraud and deceit. The suit seeks
certification as a class action, unspecified
29
monetary damages, legal fees and costs and other appropriate relief. All of
the defendants deny all of the allegations, believe they have meritorious
defenses to all of the claims and intend to defend the case vigorously.
Except as described above, SLC and its subsidiaries are not parties, and
their property is not subject to, any material pending legal proceedings other
than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their respective businesses. See
Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.

At March 27, 1995, 47,205,200 shares of Common Stock of SLC were
outstanding and were owned of record by approximately 51,000 stockholders. No
cash dividends have been declared by SLC on its Common Stock since 1985. SLC
anticipates that it will continue for the foreseeable future to follow a policy
of retaining substantially all its earnings, and that as a result no cash
dividends on the Common Stock will be declared. Certain indentures currently
restrict SLC from declaring or paying dividends on its capital stock in excess
of specified amounts. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements.
On February 11, 1994, SLC repurchased from CNC 100,000 shares of the Class
B Common Stock of SLC, representing all of the shares of that class authorized,
issued and outstanding. See "Business-Business Strategy" and Note 4 of the Notes
to Financial Statements. As a result of that repurchase and the amendment of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to delete all references to such shares
of stock, SLC is no longer authorized to issue any shares of Class B Common
Stock. No cash dividends had been declared on the shares of SLC's Class B Common
Stock since 1985.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
The following table sets forth for the indicated periods selected

(1) Operating loss and net loss in 1994 include a charge for the cumulative
effect at December 31, 1994, of a change in accounting for assessing the
recoverability of excess cost of acquired subsidiaires over net assets
acquired totaling $210.7 million, or $(4.43) per share. Such cumulative
effect was determined to be inseparable from a change in an estimate.
(2) Net earnings in 1993 includes charges for the cumulative effect to January
1, 1993 of a change in the method of accounting for post-retirement benefits
totaling $1.8 million, or $(.04) per share, and the cumulative effect at
December 31, 1993 of a change in accounting for certain debt and equity
securities totaling $4.9 million, or $(.10) per share.
(3) Net earnings in 1991 include a benefit for the cumulative effect to January
1, 1991 of a change in the method of accounting for income taxes totaling $8.8
million, or $.18 per share.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following is an analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of SLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial
statements and related notes and schedules included elsewhere in this Form 10-K
should be read in conjunction with this analysis.
RECENT EVENTS AND OTHER FACTORS
SLC's recent operating results are overwhelmingly affected by largely
nonrecurring or infrequent items. At December 31, 1994, SLC adopted an
accounting change relative to its methodology of assessing the recoverability of
excess cost ("goodwill") that had a significant effect on the Company's reported
results and its stockholders' equity. In addition, as a result of rising
interest rates in 1994 and the application of accounting principles adopted at
year-end 1993, the Company reflected significant other than temporary writedowns
relative to certain of its CMOs. See "Business-Investments" and Note 5 of Notes
to Financial Statements.
Other events during 1994 included 1) the purchase and retirement of SLC's
Class B Common Stock which had given its previous holders the ability to elect
75% of the members of SLC's Board of Directors, 2) the termination of
significant and complex reinsurance agreements with a former affiliate, and 3)
the continued consolidation of operations and reductions in operating expenses.
See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements. Management's efforts in 1994 to
identify potential acquisition targets or merger partners to complement SLC's
core businesses, and to sell certain of its nonstrategic subsidiaries, were
unsuccessful. As a consequence, the Company's ability to meet its maturing debt
obligations as they become due in 1995 and 1996 became more problematic.
31
Following is an analysis of these various events and factors, including
management's assessment of their impact on the financial position and liquidity
of SLC, as well as management's future expectations.
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND CFLIC TRANSACTION
In February 1994, SLC purchased all of its Class B Common Stock from CNC
and immediately cancelled and retired such stock. In June 1994, certain
transactions were consummated with CFLIC, a subsidiary of CNC, pursuant to
which SLC acquired from CFLIC all of its outstanding shares of 1984-A
Preferred Stock and 1987-B Preferred Stock and 620,423 shares of its Common
Stock, all of which shares were retired in 1994. See "Business-Business
Strategy" and Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements. As a result of these
transactions, CNC's ownership in SLC was reduced to less than one million
shares, or 2%, of SLC's outstanding Common Stock. Management believes these
transactions are significant for various reasons. Most importantly,
management believes that SLC's access to both debt and equity capital markets
had been limited because of the control position held by CNC through the
Class B Stock, and that the retirement of the Class B Stock and simultaneous,
considerable reduction in CNC's holdings of SLC Common Stock through sales to
Stephens and Torchmark could ultimately enhance SLC's ability to refinance
its currently outstanding debt. Further, the redemption and retirement of the
SLC preferred stocks and the cancellation of senior debt of the Company that
had been held by CFLIC reduced SLC's interest and preferred dividend
requirements by approximately $5.4 million annually.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF OPERATING COMPANIES
The primary sources of liquidity for SLC's insurance subsidiaries include
operating cash flows and short-term investments. The net cash provided by
operating activities and by policyholder contract deposits of SLC and its
subsidiaries, after the payment of policyholder contract withdrawals and
benefits, operating expenses, and interest requirements approximated $179.0
million in 1992. In 1994 and 1993, such operating cash flows resulted in net
cash requirements totaling approximately $21.0 million and $120.4 million,
respectively. Exclusive of withdrawals by holders of GICs as discussed below,
cash provided by operating activities during 1994 and 1993 totaled approximately
$55.1 million and $208.6 million. SLC believes that its short-term investments
are readily marketable and can be sold quickly for cash. Cash and short-term
investments of SLC's subsidiaries totaled $212.8 million, or 9% of consolidated
investments, at year-end 1994, compared to $295.1 million or 11% at year-end
1993 and $370.0 million or 12% at year-end 1992.
The principal requirement for liquidity of SLC's insurance subsidiaries is
their contractual obligations to policyholders, including policy loans, payments
of benefits and claims, and general operating expenses. Further, policy loans of
SLC's subsidiaries have represented 7% of SLC's consolidated investment assets
during the past three years.
In each of 1992, 1993 and 1994 and in January 1995, the claims-paying
ratings assigned to certain of SLC's subsidiaries by various nationally
recognized statistical ratings organizations were lowered. See
"Business-Ratings" for information regarding ratings. Prior to 1995 and
except for withdrawals made by certain GIC holders, management believes SLC's
subsidiaries had not experienced more than normal policy surrenders and
withdrawals as a result of these ratings downgrades. For the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, policyholder contract withdrawals, principally
GICs, exceeded policyholder contract deposits by approximately $11.2 million
and $207.4 million, respectively. Withdrawals by GIC holders totaled $76.1
million during 1994 and $329.0 million in 1993. Approximately $59.0 million
of such withdrawals in 1994 and $184.3 million in 1993 represented scheduled
maturities of GICs which were not reinvested with an SLC subsidiary. In
addition, as a result of the restructuring of SLC's holding company system
completed in 1993, the surplus of the subsidiary was significantly reduced
and, as a consequence, some policyholders became entitled to an early
withdrawal of their GICs. The subsidiary also voluntarily offered certain
other GIC holders the right of early withdrawal. Unscheduled and early GIC
withdrawals totaled $17.1 million in 1994 and $144.7 million during 1993.
Because of its available liquidity and readily marketable securities, the
subsidiary has not encountered, and management does not anticipate that the
subsidiary will encounter, any difficulty in meeting its obligations relative
to such withdrawals.
In January 1995, SLC announced the indefinite suspension of dividends on
its 1986-A Preferred Stock and steps being contemplated by SLC's Board of
Directors to strengthen the holding company's capital structure and reduce
32
outstanding debt and fixed charges. Management believes that primarily as a
result of these announcements, subsequent downgrades in credit and claim paying
ratings, and the similarity between the holding company's name and that of its
largest insurance subsidiary, Southwestern Life, surrender activity relative to
the life insurance and annuity business of Southwestern Life and, to a lesser
extent, its other insurance subsidiaries has increased over comparable levels in
1994. Surrenders of life insurance and annuity policies have averaged
approximately $8.8 million during each of the first two months of 1995, as
compared to $5.3 million per month in the comparable 1994 period. Because of
their available liquidity, SLC's insurance subsidiaries have not encountered any
difficulty in meeting their obligations relative to these surrenders. SLC's
subsidiaries maintain significant levels of cash and short-term investments and
approximately two-thirds of their investment portfolios are comprised of readily
marketable investment-grade fixed maturity investments. In management's
estimate, substantially all of the net surrender values of the Company's
insurance policies in force at December 31, 1994, could be met through the
liquidation of such investments, if required. Accordingly, management is
confident that SLC's insurance subsidiaries have the capacity to meet all of
their policyholder obligations as they become due.
Certain of SLC's insurance subsidiaries have ceded blocks of insurance to
unaffiliated reinsurers to provide funds for financing acquisitions and other
purposes. Net statutory surplus provided by such treaties before tax effects
totaled $57.8 million at December 31, 1994. For further information, see
"Business-Reinsurance."
SLC's insurance subsidiaries are subject to various capital adequacy tests
that are utilized by regulatory authorities and rating agencies to assist in
their evaluation of the subsidiaries' financial strength. See
"Business-Regulation" for information regarding risk-based capital levels.
Management believes that SLC's insurance subsidiaries are well-capitalized
and have sufficient capital to meet their business needs and to provide
assurance that they are highly capable of meeting their obligations to
policyholders.
The insurance subsidiaries maintain investment portfolios that exceed $2.3
billion in the aggregate. Their investment strategies are designed to maximize
credit quality, liquidity and return, while minimizing principal risk. See
"Business-Investments" for additional information regarding the Company's
investments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF PARENT COMPANY
The primary sources of liquidity for SLC have historically included
dividends and loans from its insurance subsidiaries and payments of principal
and interest on surplus debentures issued by certain insurance subsidiaries. In
1993, the sale of SLC's investment in BLHC provided a substantial amount of
liquidity for the parent company.
The unpaid principal balance of surplus debentures issued to SLC by its
insurance subsidiaries totaled $247.6 million at December 31, 1992. Of this
amount, surplus debentures in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of $141.8
million were payable by Southwestern Life and $105.8 million were payable by
Modern American. In 1993, Southwestern Life repaid the remaining balance on its
surplus debenture utilizing proceeds from its 1992 sale of Bankers. In the
restructuring of SLC's insurance holding company system in 1993, the surplus
debenture from Modern American was retired and added to SLC's investment in its
subsidiaries. Since September 30, 1993, there have been no surplus debentures
due SLC by its subsidiaries.
Prior to 1992, SLC had issued demand and collateralized notes to certain
of its subsidiaries in order to meet short-term liquidity requirements. During
1993 and 1992 SLC repaid all of such obligations to its subsidiaries and does
not intend to utilize such borrowings in future periods.
SLC's principal needs for liquidity are debt service and, to a lesser
extent, preferred dividend requirements. SLC's consolidated indebtedness totaled
$369.4 million at December 31, 1994, as compared to $418.0 million at December
31, 1993, and $543.3 million at December 31, 1992. Substantially all
indebtedness of SLC was incurred in connection with acquisitions of subsidiaries
in periods prior to 1987, including collateralized senior debt and unsecured
subordinated debt, a portion of which was exchanged for new debt in 1993. See
Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information regarding
SLC's consolidated indebtedness, including annual maturities.
33
SLC reduced its reported indebtedness by $162.8 million in 1992, $125.3
million in 1993, and $48.6 million in 1994. Such reductions totaling $336.7 were
effected primarily through SLC's prepayment of $45.0 million of senior secured
debt in 1992, the prepayment of $168.4 million of senior secured debt and
subordinated debt with proceeds form the sale of Bankers in 1992 and BLHC in
1993, a purchase in an open-market transaction of $10.0 million of senior
subordinated debt in 1994, and $83.3 million of scheduled subordinated debt
sinking fund and principal installments during the three-year period. In
connection with the CFLIC transactions in 1994, SLC retired the remaining $30.0
million principal balance outstanding on its senior secured debt.
Exclusive of the effects of investment transactions and the 1994 change in
accounting for excess cost, the pretax operating earnings of SLC and its
subsidiaries have been insufficient to cover SLC's debt service and preferred
dividend requirements over each of the last three years. For the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, such pretax earnings were insufficient to
cover fixed charges and preferred dividends by approximately $44.6 million,
$103.4 million and $53.4 million, respectively. During the period, SLC covered
its fixed charges and dividend requirements primarily from proceeds resulting
from the sale of its investment in BLHC and the repayment of surplus debentures
in 1993 and 1992.
The following table reflects SLC's cash sources and requirements on a
projected basis for 1995 and on an actual basis for 1994.

(1) Based on the expectation that the $21.5 million of SLC subordinated debt
held by Constitution Life will be available at the holding company for
meeting the sinking fund requirement. The transfer of these securities
to SLC will require regulatory approval.
SLC's actual cash sources in 1994 exceed the previously projected 1994
cash sources, as reflected in SLC's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K, by
approximately $13.1 million. Included in the increase in such cash sources is a
$5.0 million prepayment on a note receivable, $6.5 million in income tax
reimbursements for utilization of SLC's
34
income tax losses to offset the taxable income of its subsidiaries, and other
miscellaneous sources totaling $1.6 million. SLC's actual 1994 cash
requirement/uses exceed the previously projected 1994 cash requirements by
$23.1 million. Included in the increase in such cash requirement/uses is a
net $15.7 million additional investment in CFLIC preferred stock. See Note 4
of Notes to Financial Statements. In addition, other uses not previously
projected include the use of $10.0 million cash to purchase $10.0 million
principal amount of SLC's 11 1/4% Notes due 1996, the use of $7.0 million
cash for capital contributions to subsidiaries, a loss on the liquidation of
marketable securities totaling $4.6 million and other miscellaneous uses
totaling $7.3 million. Included in projected uses of cash in 1994 was the
purchase by SLC of $34.1 million of its 11 1/4% Notes due 1996 from certain
of its subsidiaries. During 1994, SLC decided not to utilize its available
cash to purchase $21.5 million principal amount of such Notes.
As indicated in the preceding table, SLC does not currently have
sufficient specifically projected cash sources to meet all of its 1995 cash
requirements, and as set forth in Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements SLC
is severely limited regarding the amount of dividends that could be paid in
1995 by its insurance subsidiaries in the absence of regulatory approval.
Accordingly, SLC is in various stages of negotiating the sale of several of
its non-strategic subsidiaries that, at the prices under consideration, could
provide in excess of $50 million of capital resources to the holding company.
As of March 28, 1995, only one of such sales, that of Integrity National for
$9.6 million, was evidenced by a definitive agreement, and this amount is
included as a source of cash in the preceding projection. No assurances can
be given that the sale of any subsidiary, including Integrity National, will
be consummated. Additionally, in early 1995, management initiated a process
of contacting various financially capable parties who may be interested in
considering the investment of new capital into SLC. No assurances can be
given that any investment will be made or, if made, have a beneficial effect
on current stockholders of the Company. Lastly, while not currently being
pursued, the Company has the additional options of seeking to borrow on a
secured basis or to obtain regulatory approval for cash dividends from its
insurance subsidiaries. Based on its evaluation of these various options,
management believes that the Company has sufficient financial flexibility to
make it likely that the Company can meet its debt service requirements
through the end of 1995. However, there are no assurances that the Company
will be successful in its attempts to obtain sufficient cash to fulfill its
1995 cash requirements, including its debt service requirements. If the
Company is unable to obtain sufficient resources to meet its 1995 debt
obligations, such failure could result in a default on one or more of such
obligations and the holders thereof would be entitled to exercise certain
remedies, including accelerating the maturity of the entire indebtedness and
commencing legal proceedings to collect the indebtedness. In such event, the
Company will examine and consider the range of available alternatives to
default and the exercise of creditors' remedies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SLC's results in 1994, 1993, and 1992 have been affected by numerous items
of an infrequent and nonrecurring nature. In 1994, SLC adopted an accounting
change relative to the methodology of assessing the recoverability of excess
cost (goodwill) related to the 1986 acquisition of Southwestern Life that had a
significant effect on the Company's operating results. See Note 7 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information regarding this accounting change
and writedowns. In addition, primarily as a result of rising interest rates, the
Company reflected significant other than temporary writedowns relative to its
Fund America Investment and the SIST Residual. See "Business-Investments."
Writedowns of certain other CMO investments were also taken in 1994 based on the
anticipated liquidation of such assets at a loss in early 1995. The Company also
reflected a loss in 1994 on the anticipated 1995 sale of its investment in
Bankers New York and reflected a gain realized on the redemption of certain of
its securities in connection with the termination of a reinsurance arrangement
with CFLIC. See Notes 2 and 4 of Notes to Financial Statements. The 1994
operating results were also affected by a provision for litigation expenses and
other contingencies.
In 1993, SLC realized significant gains on the sale of its investment in
BLHC, the sale of other invested assets, and the termination of a reinsurance
arrangement with Bankers, and realized a benefit from the change in corporate
income tax rates. In addition, significant writedowns of certain capitalized
costs and operating facilities were taken in connection with the continuation of
an operational consolidation and provisions were made for the costs associated
with agreements entered into with SLC's former controlling stockholders and
certain other contingencies.
35
In 1992, SLC realized a gain on the sale of an effective 60% interest in
Bankers, which was offset by charges for significant losses on the portfolio of
derivative CMOs, a litigation settlement, costs incurred to modify a data
processing services arrangement, and costs incurred or accrued relative to an
operational consolidation.
The following table reflects the results of SLC's basic operations from
1992 through 1994, the contribution to operating results of Bankers through
October 1992, and the effects that the above described charges and credits had
on SLC's operating results for each of the three years.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in the pretax operating loss from $6.6 million in 1993 to a
pretax operating loss of $23.3 million in 1994 reflects in part the effects of
SLC's sale of its investment in BLHC effective September 30, 1993, and the
subsequent utilization of the proceeds from such sale. In 1993, SLC had
reflected its equity in the operating results of BLHC totaling $29.1 million
through the date of such sale, and in 1994 SLC had no similar equity earnings
included in its operating results. SLC utilized $100 million of the proceeds
from such sale to redeem preferred stocks with annual dividend requirements
totaling $13.5 million. Although such use of funds to redeem preferred stock had
an effect on earnings available to common stockholders, it had no effect on
SLC's pretax operating results. SLC utilized approximately $63.2 million of such
proceeds for the redemption of a portion of its outstanding indebtedness in 1993
and 1994, which reduced annual interest requirements on long-term indebtedness
by approximately $9.4 million. The
36
remainder of the proceeds totaling approximately $124.4 million were invested
primarily in lower yielding short-term obligations to meet SLC's liquidity
needs. The interest savings on the debt retired and the yields on such
short-term investments were insufficient to replace the equity earnings in
BLHC.
Pretax earnings from existing operating companies improved by $4.4
million in 1994 as compared to 1993, primarily as a result of general and
administrative expense savings realized in 1994. General and administrative
expenses totaled $92.2 million in 1994, as compared to $111.2 million in
1993, primarily reflecting the results of operational consolidations and
other cost saving measures. The expense savings in 1994 were offset in large
measure by higher than expected benefit costs, primarily in the individual
life insurance and individual health insurance segments.
The decline in pretax operating earnings of $47.7 million in 1992 to a
pretax operating loss of $6.6 million in 1993 reflects primarily the
exclusion of Bankers' results for all of 1993, offset in part by a reduction
in interest expense on long-term indebtedness of $16.5 million (See
"-Interest Expense and Preferred Dividend Requirements"). Through October
1992, Bankers was included in SLC's consolidated results and contributed
approximately $94.3 million to SLC's 1992 pretax earnings. For the last two
months of 1992, SLC reflected its equity in the operating results of BLHC
totaling $3.3 million. The combined Bankers contribution to pretax earnings
and equity in operating results of BLHC totaling $97.6 million in 1992
compares to SLC's equity in the operating earnings of BLHC totaling $29.1
million in 1993. Except for the interest expense savings on long-term debt
realized in 1993, SLC was unable to effectively redeploy the proceeds from
the sale of Bankers during the last two months of 1992 and during 1993 to
fully replace the reduction in pretax earnings resulting from the sale of
Bankers. In addition, SLC incurred losses of $12.9 million in its group
insurance operations in 1993.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT
SLC's major industry segments consist of individual life insurance,
individual health insurance, group and other insurance, accumulation products,
and corporate (including surplus investment). The following table sets forth the
consolidated revenues, expenses, pretax operating earnings and product sales
(annualized first year premiums) attributed or allocated to each industry
segment. "Pretax operating earnings (loss)" reflected in the table represents

INDIVIDUAL LIFE INSURANCE. Revenues of the individual life insurance
segment accounted for approximately 38.6% of consolidated revenues excluding
corporate revenues and realized investment gains and losses in 1994, as compared
to 37.8% in 1993 and 20% in 1992. The increase in 1993 was directly attributable
to the sale of Bankers in 1992. Bankers' revenues had been derived predominantly
from sales of individual health insurance products and, as a result of the sale,
the relative proportion of SLC's revenues attributable to the individual life
insurance segment increased significantly. Most individual life insurance sales
over the last three years were of universal and interest-sensitive life
insurance products, although several new traditional whole life products were
introduced into the marketplace during 1993. Exclusive of sales by Bankers,
individual life sales declined from $14.0 million in 1992 to $13.1 million in
1993, but increased to $16.9 million in 1994. Management believes the declines
in 1993 were attributable to the downgrade in the claims-paying rating of SLC's
most significant life insurance subsidiary, Southwestern Life, and the inability
to successfully market several new products introduced during 1991. However, as
a result of changes in marketing strategies to target sales in the senior
citizen marketplace and the introduction of new products in 1993, sales of
individual life insurance products increased significantly in the latter half of
1993 and continued to increase in 1994.
Pretax operating earnings of the individual life insurance segment
increased from $42.5 million in 1992 to $45.1 million in 1993, but decreased to
$31.2 million in 1994. Included in pretax operating earnings in 1993 was a
non-recurring gain on the termination of a reinsurance arrangement between an
SLC subsidiary and Bankers totaling $22.6 million. Excluding such gain, pretax
operating earnings in 1993 totaled $22.5 million. Bankers derived substantial
profits from its individual life insurance business and the sale of Bankers
accounts for a significant portion of the decline in pretax operating earnings
of this segment in 1993. Declining market interest rates and the reduced yields
earned by SLC on its investment portfolio also contributed to the decline in the
operating profits of this segment. Over one-half of the Company's life insurance
reserves represent reserves on traditional life insurance products having fixed
contractual interest rates. Consequently, declining investment yields in 1992
and 1993 resulted in significantly reduced profit margins on the traditional
block of business. Remaining life insurance reserves consist primarily of
reserves on interest-sensitive products and credited rates on such policies were
reduced in both 1992 and 1993 to correspond with the decline in yields on
investments. Excluding the effects of the reinsurance recapture in 1993, pretax
profitability of the individual life insurance segment improved in 1994,
primarily as a result of an improvement in investment yields and an overall
reduction in general expense levels. The improvement in 1994 was offset, in
part, by higher than anticipated death claims.
Management expects to continue to emphasize growth in the Company's
individual life insurance segment. However, as a result of the further downgrade
in Southwestern Life's claims paying ratings in early 1995, Southwestern Life's
ability to maintain or increase the levels of new sales of life insurance
products in 1995 is at present uncertain. A decline in sales, combined with
continuing high levels of surrenders of existing life insurance policies (as
39
previously discussed under "-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Insurance
Operations"), could result in reduced profitability in this segment in future
periods.
INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE. Sales in the individual health insurance
segment declined significantly in 1994 primarily due to the Company's
decision to deemphasize sales of comprehensive health products, while
revenues remained relatively level as a result of both premium rate increases
on existing business and improved investment yields. Both sales and revenues
in the individual health insurance segment declined significantly in 1993 as
a result of the sale of Bankers. Individual health premiums earned by Bankers
represented approximately 74.8% of total individual health premiums in 1992.
The individual health premiums earned in 1994 and 1993 and the remaining
premiums earned in 1992 were primarily attributable to Medicare supplement
products and comprehensive individual health products issued by Union
Bankers, BML and Integrity National.
Exclusive of Bankers, sales of individual health products increased from
$60.3 million in 1992 to $63.6 million in 1993, but declined to $49.4 million in
1994. Premiums earned (exclusive of Bankers) increased from $216.2 million in
1992 to $220.3 million in 1993, but declined to $215.8 million in 1994. The
ratio of policy benefits to premiums earned (exclusive of Bankers) declined from
68.4% in 1992 to 62.3% in 1993, but increased to 67.6% in 1994. The significant
decline in the benefit ratio in 1993 resulted in an approximate $15.0 million
improvement in the gross operating margins (the excess of premiums earned over
benefits incurred) of the Company's individual health insurance segment.
Correspondingly, the significant increase in the benefit ratio in 1994 resulted
in an approximate $13.3 million deterioration in gross operating margins.
Substantially all of the increase in the individual health benefit ratio in 1994
was attributable to the Medicare supplement line of business, reflecting a
deficiency in premiums charged for certain Medicare supplement products.
Congressional mandates have imposed a minimum 65% benefit ratio for Medicare
supplement products and, as a result, the benefit ratio for Medicare supplement
products is generally higher than for other individual health insurance
products. The benefit ratio applicable to the Company's Medicare supplement
business decreased from 69.5% in 1992 to 65.8% in 1993, resulting in a
substantial portion of the improvement in the individual health benefit ratio in
1993, but increased to 73.3% in 1994. The Company received rate increases for
these products in 1994, which subsequently proved to be insufficient, and in mid
and late 1994 and early 1995 filed requests for significant additional rate
increases, a majority of which have been approved as requested and implemented,
and the remainder of which are still pending.
Management expects to continue to emphasize growth in the individual
health insurance segment, principally through the sale of a new comprehensive
product introduced in January 1995. Management believes that the recent
consolidation of the marketing operations of Southwestern Life and Union Bankers
and the Company's reputation for quality service and support are important
factors that will enable the Company to compete more effectively in the market
for Medicare supplement products.
GROUP INSURANCE. Sales of group life and health insurance have declined
from $61.9 million in 1992 to $41.2 million in 1993 to $8.2 million in 1994.
Substantially all sales of new group business over this three-year period were
made by PALICO. During 1993, the Company determined that a substantial portion
of the business which had been written by PALICO in late 1992 and 1993 was
unprofitable. Due to significant losses incurred by PALICO in 1993 and
uncertainties created by national health care reform efforts, management
determined that PALICO would discontinue writing substantial volumes of new
business in the latter part of 1993 and for all of 1994. In addition to revenues
from group insurance products, PALICO also earned revenues of $12.8 million in
1992, $11.5 million in 1993, and $12.5 million in 1994 from administrative
services only ("ASO") contracts and third party administration ("TPA") contracts
whereby it processes claims for nonaffiliated groups without assuming
underwriting risks.
While sales of new group business declined during 1993 as compared to
1992, earned premiums of this segment (excluding Bankers) increased from $103.8
million in 1992 to $136.5 million in 1993 as a result of new sales made in 1992.
Earned premiums declined in 1994 to $93.1 million, primarily as a result of
reduced sales in 1993 and 1994. The related ratio of policy benefits to earned
premiums of the group segment increased from 62.9% in 1992 to 74.8% in 1993, but
declined to 68.6% in 1994. The significant increase in the benefit ratio in 1993
contributed to a pretax operating loss in the group segment of $12.9 million in
1993, as compared to pretax operating earnings of $5.1 million in 1992. The
pretax operating loss of the group segment declined to $5.7 million in 1994,
reflecting, in part, the improvement in the group benefit ratio in 1994. A
portion of the operating losses in 1993 and 1994 were also
40
attributable to PALICO's TPA business. PALICO's success with ASO contracts
prior to 1993 led it to greatly expand its involvement in TPA operations
during 1993. Primarily because of problems in adequately pricing for the
services to be rendered under these contracts, the TPA operations were
unprofitable in both 1993 and 1994. As a consequence, PALICO terminated all
of its TPA contracts during 1994.
ACCUMULATION PRODUCTS. Sales of accumulation products declined
significantly in 1994 and 1993 as compared to prior periods as a result of
the Company's strategic decision not to pursue growth in its accumulation
product segment through the sale of GICs. The decision not to pursue growth
in the accumulation business was directly attributable to a downgrade in the
claims-paying rating of Constitution Life. New GIC sales have declined from
$292.1 million in 1992 to $5.3 million in 1993 and $2.7 million in 1994. Such
decline in GIC sales was offset, in part, by increases in new annuity sales,
principally SPDAs. New annuity sales totaled $69.3 million in 1994 and $89.9
million in 1993 as compared to $27.2 million in 1992.
The accumulation products segment reflected a pretax operating loss of
$13.1 million in 1994, as compared to a loss of $6.7 million in 1993 and a
gain of $0.4 million in 1992. The loss in 1994 was attributable in part to an
$8.6 million writedown of the present value of future profits of acquired
business relative to certain annuity business resulting from higher than
anticipated surrender rates and reduced yields on related investments.
Substantially all of the remaining pretax operating loss in 1994 and the
pretax operating loss in 1993 was attributable to declines in yields earned
on invested assets. For most of 1993 and during all of 1994, the Company
credited interest on a substantial portion of its GIC liabilities at
guaranteed fixed rates which, in many cases, exceeded rates being earned on
the related invested assets. At year-end 1994, approximately 90% of the
remaining $313.3 million of GIC liabilities bore interest at floating rates
based on changes in the Standard and Poor's 500 stock index. Approximately
$300.5 million of such GIC liabilities are scheduled to mature and are
expected to be withdrawn by year-end 1995. A provision has been reflected in
the Company's 1994 results of operations of approximately $3.0 million for
investment losses expected to be incurred upon the liquidation of assets
needed to fund such GIC withdrawals in 1995.
CORPORATE. The corporate segment includes those elements of the Company's
operations other than its insurance operations. Revenues allocated to the
corporate segment include investment income on the interest-bearing assets of
the holding company and on the capital and surplus of SLC's insurance
subsidiaries in excess of amounts necessary to support their insurance
operations. In addition, such revenues also include the $11.1 million gain
realized on the CFLIC recapture in 1994, which was offset in part by the $4.2
million estimated loss to be incurred on the sale of Bankers New York; the
$297.0 million gain on the sale of SLC's investment in BLHC in 1993; and the
$110.7 million gain on SLC's sale of its investment in Bankers in 1992.
In 1994, $11.3 million of expenses were allocated to the corporate segment,
including provisions for franchise taxes and taxes other than income taxes,
litigation reserves and other contingencies. In 1993, $45.6 million of
expenses were allocated to the corporate segment, including $23.9 million in
writeoffs of capitalized data processing costs and certain home office real
estate, a $9.0 million provision for services agreements entered into with
SLC's former controlling stockholders, a $9.3 million provision for
anticipated costs of litigation and other contingencies, and $4.4 million of
expenses associated with the restructuring of SLC's collateralized mortgage
note obligation. In 1992, $41.5 million of expenses were allocated to this
segment, including an $18.0 million litigation settlement, $12.6 million of
costs associated with modifying SLC's data processing servicing arrangements
with an unaffiliated vendor, and $10.9 million in costs related to a planned
operational consolidation of three of SLC's Texas-based insurance
subsidiaries.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND PREFERRED DIVIDEND REQUIREMENTS
SLC's consolidated interest expense totaled $48.3 million in 1994, $66.2
million in 1993, and $79.0 million in 1992. The reductions in interest
expense were primarily as a result of the principal reductions in SLC's
long-term indebtedness made during the periods as previously discussed under
"-Liquidity and Capital Resources of Parent Company." The reductions in
interest expense in 1993 and 1992 were offset, in part, by the interest
expense incurred relative to collateralized mortgage note obligations
totaling $6.0 million in 1993 and $2.3 million in 1992. The collateralized
mortgage note obligations were initially incurred in conjunction with the
sale of Bankers in 1992. As a result of the transactions entered into in July
1993 intended to reduce SLC's exposure to prepayment risks on certain
41
derivative CMOs (see "Business-Investments"), the accounts of the Trust, which
included the collateralized mortgage note obligation and the related
interest expense, are no longer included in SLC's consolidated balance sheet
or statement of earnings after July 30, 1993. Exclusive of such interest
expense, interest expense in long-term indebtedness decreased $16.5 million
in 1993 and $11.9 million in 1994.
Preferred dividend requirements totaled $13.7 million in 1994, $28.8
million in 1993 and $30.8 million in 1992. In January of 1995, SLC's Board of
Directors announced the indefinite suspension of the payment of preferred
stock dividends; however, these dividends are cumulative and, accordingly,
the Company is now in arrears on its preferred dividends. See Note 10 of
Notes to Financial Statements.
INCOME TAX PROVISIONS AND DEFERRED INCOME TAX ASSET
In 1994, income tax expense represented less than 1% of consolidated
operating earnings before income taxes, or more than 34% less than the
expected corporate income tax rate. Several items had a significant impact on
the 1994 effective income tax rate. First, a substantial portion of the
pretax operating loss was attributable to the accounting for excess cost,
which is a nontaxable item. In addition, the valuation allowance for SLC's
deferred income tax asset for 1994 was increased over 1993 based on
management's assessment that SLC and its nonlife insurance subsidiaries may
not be able to fully utilize existing book/tax deductible temporary
differences and tax loss carryforwards. Finally, a provision was made in 1994
for the anticipated settlement of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
examination of the tax years 1986 through 1989, which includes the
utilization of prior existing tax loss carryforwards. See Note 12 of the
Notes to Financial Statements for additional discussion of IRS examinations
of open tax years.
In 1993, income tax expense represented approximately 31% of consolidated
operating earnings before income taxes, or 4% less than the expected
corporate income tax rate. During 1993, the corporate income tax rate was
increased from 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. The effect of such
rate increase on SLC's deferred income tax asset as of the beginning of 1993,
a benefit totaling $3.5 million, has been included in the 1993 income tax
provision. Other significant items affecting the 1993 effective income tax
rate included a reduction in the valuation allowance for SLC's deferred
income tax asset based on the utilization of available loss carryforwards to
offset income taxes otherwise payable as a result of the BLHC sale and other
investment gains and the utilization of capital loss carryforwards which had
previously not been reflected for financial reporting purposes. In 1992, SLC
reported an income tax credit totaling $69.2 million on a consolidated
operating loss before income taxes of $18.4 million. This unusual
relationship was primarily attributable to the significant tax basis gain on
the sale of Bankers and a reduction in the Company's valuation allowance for
its deferred tax asset as a result of utilizing available capital loss
carryforwards to reduce taxes otherwise payable as a result of such gain. See
Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements for an analysis of the various
components affecting SLC's income tax provisions.
42
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, SLC reported deferred income tax assets
totaling $84.9 million and $53.0 million, respectively. The substantial
increase in the deferred income tax asset between the periods is primarily as
a result of the tax effect associated with realized losses incurred in 1994
on certain invested assets and the tax effect associated with net unrealized
losses that arose in 1994. The tax assets were comprised of the tax benefit
(cost) associated with the following types of temporary differences based on
the 35% tax rate in effect at the end of 1994 and 1993:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total deferred income tax asset. . . . . . . . $ 84.9 $ 53.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating and capital loss carryforwards have significantly different
characteristics as to expiration dates and their usability. For federal
income tax purposes, operating losses may be carried forward for a maximum of
fifteen years from the year they are incurred; capital losses may be carried
forward for a maximum of five years. In addition, ordinary loss carryforwards
may be utilized to offset ordinary income or capital gains, whereas capital
loss carryforwards can only be utilized to offset capital gains. As a
consequence, taxpayers have substantially more flexibility in being able to
utilize operating loss carryforwards than capital loss carryforwards. For
federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 1994, SLC and its insurance
subsidiaries had $43.5 million of ordinary loss carryforwards expiring in
2009.
Alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit carryforwards result from the
acceleration of income taxes under certain circumstances and can be carried
forward for an indefinite period. The $8.6 million and $13.9 million
component of SLC's deferred income tax assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, represents taxes incurred under AMT provisions which are
expected to be recovered through reduced income tax payments over the next
several years.
See Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements for a summary of management's
assessment regarding the recoverability of the Company's deferred income tax
assets and the valuation allowances provided against such deferred income tax
assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1993, SLC adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," and incurred a charge for
the cumulative effect of the adoption of the accounting change as of that
date totaling $1.8 million, after tax effects. In addition, effective
December 31, 1993, SLC adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and incurred a charge for the
cumulative effect of the adoption of the accounting change as of that date
totaling $4.9 million, after tax effects.
43
EXTRAORDINARY LOSSES
For the years 1993 and 1992, SLC incurred extraordinary losses, net of tax
effects, totaling $1.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The
extraordinary losses in both periods were related to early extinguishment of
debt. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for an analysis of the
components of such losses.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Medical cost inflation has had a significant impact on the individual
health and group health lines of business. Benefit costs have continued to
increase in recent years in excess of the Consumer Price Index and will
likely continue to do so. This impact, however, has been substantially offset
by increases in premium rates. Management does not believe that inflation has
otherwise had a significant impact on its results of operations over the past
three years.
KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
PROPOSED HEALTH CARE REFORM. The current administration has targeted health
care reform as a top domestic priority and Congress has considered proposed
legislation that, if enacted, could significantly change the manner in which
the entire health care industry operates. See "Business-Regulation" for
further information.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Southwestern Life Corporation
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedules of Southwestern Life Corporation and Subsidiaries as
listed in the index on page 45 of this Form 10-K. These financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has significant debt requirements in 1995 and 1996. Management has
stated they have several alternatives which they believe will result in full
satisfaction of the 1995 requirements. However, at the present time, it appears
that to satisfy the requirements for both 1995 and 1996, a significant
restructuring of these debt obligations or a more comprehensive
recapitalization plan will be required. Such restructuring or recapitalization
would likely result in a substantial dilution of existing stockholders,
especially common stockholders, and could possibly result in a change in
control of the Company.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Southwestern
Life Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.
As discussed in Note 7 to the Financial Statements, the Company changed its
method of assessing the recoverability of Excess Cost of Investments in
Subsidiaries over Net Assets Acquired in 1994.
As more fully described in Notes 14 and 5 to these consolidated financial
statements, effective January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993, the Company
adopted statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,"
respectively.

SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective June 15, 1994, I.C.H. Corporation changed its name to
Southwestern Life Corporation (the Company or SLC).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries from date of acquisition
through date of divestiture. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Previously reported
amounts for 1993 and 1992 have in some instances been reclassified to conform
to the 1994 presentation. See Note 2 for organizational changes.
The Company's insurance subsidiaries maintain their accounts in conformity
with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance
regulatory authorities. In the accompanying financial statements such
accounts have been adjusted to conform with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
(B) INVESTMENTS
Fixed maturity investments include bonds and preferred stocks with
mandatory redemption features. The Company classifies all fixed maturity
investments into two categories as follows:
- Available for sale securities, representing securities that may be
sold prior to maturity due to changes that might occur in market
interest rate risks, changes in the security's prepayment risk,
management of the Company's income tax position, the Company's
general liquidity needs, increases in loan demand, the need to
increase regulatory capital, changes in foreign currency risk, or
similar factors. Available for sale securities are carried at fair
value.
- Held to maturity securities, representing securities such as private
placements which are not readily marketable and which the Company
has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity. Held to
maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. The Company may
dispose of such securities under certain unforeseen circumstances,
such as issuer credit deterioration or regulatory requirements.
Fixed maturity investments and related futures contracts which are
denominated in or linked to foreign currencies are revalued to reflect
changes in the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Anticipated
prepayments on mortgage-backed securities are taken into consideration in
determining estimated future yields on such securities.
Equity securities include investments in common stocks and non-redeemable
preferred stocks and are carried at fair value. Policy loans and collateral
loans are stated at their current unpaid principal balance, net of
unamortized discount and related liabilities for which the Company has the
right to offset. Short-term investments include commercial paper, invested
cash and other investments purchased with maturities generally less than
three months and are carried at amortized cost. The Company considers all
short-term investments to be cash equivalents.
Mortgage loans are stated at the aggregate unpaid principal balances, less
unamortized discount and valuation allowances. Fees received and costs
incurred with origination of mortgage loans are deferred and amortized as
yield adjustments over the remaining lives of the mortgages. Real estate,
substantially all of which was acquired through foreclosure, is recorded at
the lower of fair value, minus estimated costs, to sell or cost. If the fair
value of the foreclosed real estate minus estimated costs to sell is less
than cost, a valuation allowance is provided for the deficiency. Increases or
decreases in the valuation allowance are charged or credited to income.

SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Investments in limited partnerships and 20% to 50% interests in the common
stocks of other entities, whose affairs are not controlled by the Company
(equity investees), are reflected on the equity method, or at cost, adjusted
for the Company's share, after allowance for possible dilution, of the
undistributed earnings and losses (both realized and unrealized) since
acquisition.
The Company regularly evaluates investments based on current economic
conditions, past credit loss experience and other circumstances. A decline in
net realizable value that is other than temporary is recognized as a realized
investment loss and a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. The
Company discounts expected cash flow in the computation of net realizable
value of its investments, other than certain mortgage-backed securities. In
those circumstances where the expected cash flows of residual interest and
interest-only mortgage-backed securities, discounted at a risk-free rate of
return, result in an amount less than the carrying value, a realized loss is
reflected in an amount sufficient to adjust the carrying value of a given
security to its fair value.
Net realized investment gains and losses, including gains and losses on
foreign currency transactions and held for sale securities, are included in
the determination of net earnings. Unrealized investment gains and losses on
available for sale securities and marketable equity securities are charged or
credited directly to stockholders' equity. The specific identification method
is used to account for the disposition of investments.
(C) DUE FROM REINSURERS
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers, including amounts equal to the assets
supporting insurance liabilities ceded to reinsurers and amounts due for the
reimbursement of related benefit payments, are reflected as receivables due
from reinsurers. Amounts due from reinsurers are evaluated as to their
collectibility and, if appropriate, reserves for doubtful collectibility are
established through a charge to earnings.
(D) EXCESS COST OF INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED
Excess cost of investments in subsidiaries over net assets acquired, or
"goodwill," is amortized on the straight-line basis over a 40-year period.
The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of excess cost through
an actuarial projection of future earnings of the applicable insurance
subsidiaries (excluding excess cost amortization) over the remaining life of
such excess cost. Such projections include various interest rate scenarios,
with anticipated levels of new business production for only a five-year
period. Prior to 1994, projected future earnings were undiscounted. At
December 31, 1994, the Company adopted a change in accounting for assessing
the recoverability of excess cost by discounting projected future earnings of
the Company's insurance subsidiaries, using an economic rate of return (13%).
(See Note 7.)
(E) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE PROFITS OF
ACQUIRED BUSINESS
Costs which vary with and are related to the acquisition of new business
have been deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable
through future revenues. These costs include commissions, certain costs of
policy issuance and underwriting and certain variable agency expenses. For
traditional life and health products deferred costs are amortized with
interest over the premium paying period in proportion to the ratio of
anticipated annual premium revenue to the anticipated total premium revenue.
Deferred policy acquisition costs related to universal life,
interest-sensitive and investment products are amortized in relation to the
present value, using the assumed crediting rate, of expected gross profits on
the products, and retrospective adjustments of these amounts are made
whenever the Company revises its estimates of current or future gross profits
to be realized from a group of policies.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The present value of future profits on business in force of acquired
subsidiaries represents the portion of the cost to acquire such subsidiaries
that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from
insurance contracts existing at the dates of acquisitions. Such value is the
actuarially determined present value of the future cash flows from the
acquired policies, based on projections of future premium collection,
mortality, morbidity, surrenders, operating expenses, investment yields, and
other factors. The account is amortized with interest over the estimated
remaining life of the acquired policies.
Recoverability of deferred policy acquisition costs and the present value
of future profits of acquired business is evaluated annually by comparing the
current estimate of discounted expected future cash flows to the unamortized
asset balance by line of insurance business. If such current estimate
indicates that the existing insurance liabilities, together with the present
value of future cash flows from the business, will not be sufficient to
recover the unamortized asset balance, the difference is charged to expense.
Amortization is adjusted in future years to reflect the revised estimate of
future profits.
Anticipated returns, including realized and unrealized gains and losses,
from the investment of policyholder balances are considered in determining
the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. When fixed maturities
are stated at their fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred policy
acquisition costs and unearned revenue reserves equal to the changes in
amortization that would have been recorded if those fixed maturities had been
sold at their fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.
Furthermore, if future yields expected to be earned on fixed maturities
decline, it may be necessary to increase certain insurance liabilities.
Adjustments to such liabilities are required when their balances, in addition
to future net cash flows including investment income, are insufficient to
cover future benefits and expenses.
(F) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
The liability for future policy benefits of long duration contracts has
been computed by the net level premium method based on estimated future
investment yield, mortality, morbidity and withdrawal experience. Reserve
interest assumptions are graded and range from 6% to 10%. Mortality,
morbidity and withdrawal assumptions reflect the experience of the life
insurance subsidiaries modified as necessary to reflect anticipated trends
and to include provisions for possible unfavorable deviations. The
assumptions vary by plan, year of issue and duration. The future policy
benefit reserves include a provision for policyholder dividends based upon
dividend scales assumed at the date of purchase of acquired companies or as
presently contemplated.
(G) POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
Policy and contract claims include provisions for reported claims in
process of settlement, valued in accordance with the terms of the related
policies and contracts, as well as provisions for claims incurred and
unreported based on prior experience of the Company.
(H) UNIVERSAL LIFE AND INVESTMENT CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Benefit reserves for universal life, interest-sensitive and investment
products are determined following the retrospective deposit method and
consist principally of policy account values before any surrender charges,
plus certain deferred policy fees which are amortized using the same
assumptions and factors used to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(I) INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on
future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. Excess cost of
investment in subsidiaries over net assets acquired is reduced for the tax
benefits obtained from the utilization of an acquired company's tax
deductions.
(J) RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUE AND RELATED EXPENSES
Premium revenue for traditional life insurance products is reported as
earned when due. Accident and health premiums are earned over the period for
which premiums are paid. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned
premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the premium paying
period. This association is accomplished by means of a provision for future
policy benefit reserves and the amortization of deferred policy acquisition
costs.
(K) PARTICIPATING POLICIES
Participating life insurance policies represent approximately 1% of the
total individual life insurance in force at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The amount of dividends to be paid is determined annually by
the boards of directors of the life insurance subsidiaries. A portion of the
earnings of the Company is allocated to the participating policyholders and
included in other policyholder funds.
(L) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheet for these instruments approximate their fair values.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Fair values for fixed maturity securities
(including mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks) are based on quoted
market prices, where available. For fixed maturity securities not actively
traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent
pricing services or are estimated based on expected future cash flows using a
current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality, and maturity of
the investments. The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted
market prices and are recognized in the balance sheet. (See Note 5.)
MORTGAGE AND COLLATERAL LOANS: The fair values for mortgage and
collateral loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on
interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with
similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for
purposes of the calculations. (See Note 5.)
POLICY LOANS: The Company does not believe an estimate of the fair value
of policy loans can be made without incurring excessive cost. Policy loans
have no stated maturities and are usually repaid by reductions to benefits
and surrenders. Because of the numerous assumptions which would have to be
made to estimate fair value, the Company further believes that such
information would not be meaningful.
INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS: Fair values for the Company's
investments in limited partnerships are based on the estimated fair values of
the partnership assets and liabilities, assuming a liquidation of the
partnership and distribution of proceeds to the partners. (See Note 6.)
54
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for the Company's
off-balance-sheet interest rate swaps are based on formulas using current
assumptions. (See Note 5.)
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS: Fair values for the Company's liabilities under
investment-type insurance contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow
calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar
contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts
being valued. (See Note 8.)
NOTES PAYABLE: The fair value of the Company's subordinated long-term
debt is estimated using prices from public trades of the Company's
subordinated debt as of December 31, 1994. The fair value of other long-term
debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the
Company's implicit incremental borrowing rates from the fair value of the
Company's long-term debt. (See Note 3.)
(M) EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATIONS
Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings, less
preferred dividend requirements, by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. In computing fully diluted earnings per share, the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect
common stock equivalents resulting from stock options and the assumed
conversion of the Company's Series 1986-A Preferred Stock into common shares,
and preferred dividend requirements are adjusted to eliminate dividends on
the shares assumed to have been converted. The computation of fully diluted
earnings per share excludes the assumed conversion of such preferred shares
for each period in which the assumed conversion would be antidilutive.
2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
On November 9, 1992, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Bankers Life and Casualty Company (Bankers), and Bankers'
subsidiary, Certified Life Insurance Company (Certified), to an affiliate of
Conseco, Inc. (Conseco) for $600 million cash, subject to final adjustment.
Prior to the closing, Bankers transferred its ownership in all of its other
subsidiaries to the Company, and the Company and its subsidiaries purchased
certain other assets from Bankers, including primarily a residual interest in
certain mortgage-backed securities, Bankers' home office real estate, and
certain equity investments. The Company provided financing for the
acquisition totaling $101.4 million and, in return, retained an approximate
29.7% interest in Bankers. The financing consisted of a $16.7 million common
equity investment in Bankers Life Holding Corporation (BLHC), the Conseco
entity formed for the purpose of making the acquisition, and the purchase of
$34.7 million of BLHC 11% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2003 and $50.0
million of a BLHC preferred stock yielding an 11% annual return. In addition,
Conseco Capital Partners, L.P. (CCP) acquired a 52.6% interest in BLHC, and
the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, made an additional $9.6 million
investment to acquire a 19.3% ownership interest in CCP. As a result of the
29.7% interest in BLHC and the indirect investment through CCP the Company
retained a residual interest in Bankers totaling approximately 39.9%. The
results of operations of Bankers and Certified were included in the Company's
consolidated results of operations through October 31, 1992, the effective
date of the sale for financial reporting purposes. Subsequent to that date,
the Company reflected its proportionate share of the operating results of CCP
and BLHC based on the equity method. Because of the significant ownership
interest in Bankers retained by the Company, the sale of Bankers was
accounted for as a step transaction in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the
Company reflected its residual interest in Bankers on its historical
accounting basis and reflected a gain on the approximate 60.1% interest in
Bankers deemed to have been sold totaling $110,734,000 in the Company's
consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 1992. In
conjunction with the sale of Bankers, the Company indemnified the purchasers
against certain contingencies relating to taxes and other matters associated
with Bankers and Certified in periods prior to the closing date. The Company
believes its liability, if any, will not be material.

SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (CONTINUED)
Effective March 31, 1993, BLHC completed an initial public offering
(Offering) of 19.55 million shares of its common stock, or an approximate
35.8% interest in BLHC at $22 per share. Proceeds of the Offering, after
underwriting expenses, approximated $405 million. Effective the same day, CCP
announced a plan of dissolution and BLHC shares held by CCP were subsequently
distributed to the respective partners in accordance with that plan. The
Company received 2,917,318 shares of BLHC common stock as a result of such
distribution, increasing its direct ownership in BLHC common stock to
13,316,168 shares, or approximately 24.4% of BLHC's outstanding common shares
following the Offering. The Company reflected a gain on the BLHC Offering
totaling $99,376,000, primarily representing the Company's 24.4% equity in
the net proceeds of such Offering. BLHC utilized a portion of the Offering
proceeds to redeem certain of its outstanding securities, including the $50
million stated value of BLHC preferred stock and the $34.7 million principal
amount of BLHC Junior Subordinated Notes held by the Company. Because a
portion of the purchase price paid for such investments had been allocated to
the Company's common equity investments in BLHC, such redemptions resulted in
additional gains totaling $8,252,000, which have been included as a component
of realized investment gains.
On September 30, 1993, the Company sold its investment in BLHC to Conseco
and one of Conseco's subsidiaries for $287,639,000 cash. The Company utilized
$50 million of the proceeds to redeem $50 million stated value of the Series
1987-A Preferred Stock of the Company from a Conseco subsidiary. The sale of
the BLHC shares resulted in a gain totaling $197,665,000. The gains resulting
from BLHC's Offering and the sale of the Company's interest in BLHC totaling
$297,041,000 have been reflected as a single line item in the consolidated
statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company
continued to reflect its equity in the earnings of BLHC through the date of
sale.
Immediately prior to the termination of the reinsurance agreements with
Consolidated Fidelity Life Insurance Company (CFLIC) on June 30, 1994 (see
Note 4), Union Bankers Insurance Company (Union Bankers), a subsidiary of the
Company, utilized available cash to purchase all of the outstanding stock of
Marquette National Life Insurance Company (Marquette), a subsidiary of CFLIC,
for $8,215,000. The purchase price was based on the fair value of Marquette's
underlying net assets, consisting primarily of cash and U.S. Treasury
obligations, adjusted for the value of Marquette's various state licenses, as
determined by an independent actuarial firm. Marquette's results of
operations have been included in the Company's results of operations for
periods subsequent to June 30, 1994.
On January 12, 1995, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Southeast Title and Insurance Company (Southeast) for cash in the amount of
$2,071,000. The sales price approximated the GAAP book value of the Company's
investment in Southeast.
On January 20, 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell to
an unaffiliated party its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bankers Life Insurance
Company of New York (Bankers New York) for $35,000,000 cash, subject to
certain closing adjustments. At December 31, 1994, the Company reflected a
loss on the anticipated sale of Bankers New York totaling $4.2 million. The
transaction is subject to, among other conditions, completion of a definitive
agreement and receipt of required regulatory approvals.
On March 24, 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell
to an unaffiliated party its ownership interest in its 98.8% owned
subsidiary, Integrity National Life Insurance Company (Integrity National),
for $9,578,000 cash, subject to closing adjustments. The transaction is
subject to, among other conditions, receipt of required regulatory approvals
and reinsurance of certain of Integrity National's business.
On March 24, 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell to
an unaffiliated third party its wholly-owned subsidiary Constitution Life
Insurance Company (Constitution) for $1.86 million cash plus Constitution's
adjusted capital and surplus. The transaction is subject to, among other
conditions, completion of a definitive agreement
56

and receipt of regulatory approvals. Also, as a condition to consummation of
the transaction, Constitution will be required to cede 100% of its insurance
contracts to another insurer.
3. NOTES PAYABLE
The carrying and fair values of notes payable at December 31, 1994 and 1993
are summarized as follows:

The prime rate at December 31, 1994 was 8.5%.
-----------
(a) The 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 1996 (Old Notes) require a
sinking fund payment of $100,000,000 on December 1, 1995. The Old Notes
are redeemable at the option of the Company by paying a premium of 2%
through November 30, 1995. Thereafter, the Old Notes may be redeemed at
their face amount. In addition, the Company may not declare or pay
dividends on its Common Stock without the consent of the holders of the
Old Notes if certain financial conditions set forth in the Indenture for
such Notes will be exceeded as a result of the dividends.
(b) On November 11, 1993, the Company completed an exchange offering whereby
$4,055,000 of the Company's Debentures and $87,106,000 of the Company's
Old Notes were exchanged for $91,161,000 of the Company's 11 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 (New Notes). The terms and covenants of the
New Notes are substantially similar to those of the Old Notes, except that
the New Notes mature December 1, 2003 and are non-callable until
December 1, 1996, after which they will be callable at a premium of 3%
during the succeeding twelve month period and 2% during the twelve month
period commencing December 1, 1997.
(c) The 9 1/2% Unsecured Note requires principal installments of $3,650,000 on
December 31, 1995 and a final installment of $18,250,000 on December 31,
1996.
(d) The senior secured loan was initially obtained from various banks in
September 1990 in the original principal amount of $250,000,000, and
had been paid down to $160,000,000 by year-end 1991. On January 6, 1992,
the Company prepaid $45,000,000 of the outstanding loan and the remaining
$115,000,000 of the loan was purchased by CFLIC, a subsidiary of CNC, the
Company's then-controlling shareholder. On November 17, 1992, the Company
prepaid an additional $85,000,000 of the loan utilizing proceeds from the
sale of Bankers, and CFLIC agreed that a final installment of $30,000,000
would become due December 31, 1994. On June 30, 1994 the Company acquired
and cancelled the note as part of transactions with CFLIC (see Note 4).

At December 31, 1994, SLC held $22,399,000 principal amount of the Old
Notes which, at the Company's option, can be used to partially satisfy its
100,000,000 sinking fund obligation relative to such notes due December 1,

SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
3. NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
1995. In addition, an SLC subsidiary holds $21,500,000 principal amount of
Old Notes. Regulatory approval will be required to transfer these Old Notes
to SLC in the form of a dividend. In the above schedule of maturities and
sinking fund requirements, it has been assumed that the aggregate $43,899,000
principal amount of the Old Notes held by SLC and its subsidiary will be
available for sinking fund purposes and that the sinking fund requirement in
1995 will total $56,101,000. At its option, the Company may alternatively
determine to use sinking fund provisions in 1995 to retire up to $100,000,000
principal amount of the Old Notes at their par value.
Due to the dividend restrictions at the subsidiary level as discussed in
Note 9, the Company's ability to meet its debt obligations of $59,802,000 in
1995 and $218,306,000 in 1996 is dependent on being able to effect a
restructuring or refinancing of certain significant debt obligations or to
sell certain assets to generate sufficient cash proceeds to meet such debt
obligations or obtain sufficient cash from another source, such as an equity
investor or an institutional lender. Such restructuring or recapitalization
may require regulatory, creditor or stockholder approvals and would likely
result in a substantial dilution of existing stockholders, especially common
stockholders, and could possibly result in a change in control of the
Company. Based on current conditions and circumstances, management intends
and believes SLC has the ability to effect the actions necessary to generate
sufficient cash proceeds to meet its debt obligations through December 1995.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had notes receivable totaling
$27,000,000 and $26,500,000, respectively, which were collateralized by the
Company's note payable in the amount of $21,000,000 and $20,340,000,
respectively. The Company has the right to set off its obligation against the
notes receivable. In the accompanying balance sheets, the Company's notes
receivables have been reflected net of amounts due under the notes payable.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On June 15, 1993, the Company, the Company's then-controlling shareholder,
CNC, and CNC's subsidiary, CFLIC, entered into an agreement (the 1993
Agreement) under which (i) the Company was authorized, and undertook the
obligation, to negotiate the termination of reinsurance agreements pursuant
to which CFLIC reinsured certain annuity business written by Southwestern
Life Insurance Company (Southwestern Life), a subsidiary of the Company, and
Bankers, and (ii) the Company transferred assets, consisting of a limited
partnership interest at market value, which exceeded book value by
$13,002,000 (that has since been liquidated) and 83% of the outstanding
common stock of I.C.H. Funding Corporation (ICH Funding), to CFLIC to acquire
preferred stock of CFLIC, with a stated value of $63,000,000. Under the terms
of the 1993 Agreement, the CFLIC preferred stock was to be repurchased by
CFLIC immediately following the termination of the CFLIC reinsurance
agreements. Therefore, for financial reporting purposes, the recognition of
the unrealized gain on the limited partnership interest transferred and
subject to repurchase was deferred. The reinsurance agreements had been
entered into in 1990 in conjunction with the Company's sale of Marquette to
CNC and its stockholders. Under the reinsurance agreements, Employers
Reassurance Corporation (ERC), an independent third party insurer, retroceded
to CFLIC certain annuity business which was reinsured with ERC by each of
Southwestern Life and Bankers.
On June 30, 1994, the CFLIC reinsurance agreements were terminated, and the
business reinsured thereunder was recaptured, effective as of April 1, 1994.
Immediately prior to the termination of the CFLIC reinsurance agreements,
Union Bankers utilized available cash to purchase all of the outstanding
stock of Marquette, a subsidiary of CFLIC, for $8,215,000 (see Note 2).
Following completion of the terminations, CFLIC repurchased the shares of its
preferred stock held by the Company by transferring to the Company the senior
secured loan of the Company with an outstanding principal balance of
$30,000,000, all of the outstanding shares of the Company's Series 1984-A
Preferred Stock with a stated value of $22,242,000, all of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Series 1987-B Preferred Stock with a stated value of
$7,000,000, a U.S. Treasury note (par value $1,050,000), and 620,423 shares
58
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
of the Company's Common Stock. Immediately following the repurchase of the
CFLIC preferred stock, SLC retired the senior secured loan and the SLC
preferred stocks. The shares of SLC Common Stock received were placed in
treasury and retired.
Upon termination of the CFLIC reinsurance agreement relating to the
business written by Southwestern Life, CFLIC transferred cash and invested
assets to ERC with a fair value equal to the reserve liabilities being
recaptured, net of the ceding fees payable. Due primarily to a requirement by
insurance regulatory authorities to transfer such investments upon
termination of the reinsurance agreements at their fair value, the Company
increased its basis in the CFLIC preferred stock by investing an additional
$26,212,000 (including $21,078,000 cash and a $5,134,000 receivable)
immediately prior to the terminations to enable CFLIC to have sufficient
assets (other than the Company's securities being transferred to the Company
upon redemption of the CFLIC preferred stock) to complete the terminations. A
substantial portion of such amount was attributable to a decline in the fair
value of the 83% interest in ICH Funding subsequent to the Company's transfer
of such investment to CFLIC in June 1993.
In conjunction with the termination of the CFLIC reinsurance agreement
relating to the business written by Southwestern Life, annuity reserve
liabilities totaling $323,305,000 were assumed by ERC and invested assets
with a fair value of $289,414,000 were transferred by CFLIC to ERC. The
difference between the reserve liabilities assumed by ERC and the assets
transferred from CFLIC, totaling $33,891,000, represented the aggregate
ceding fee paid to CFLIC to effect the termination. Immediately thereafter,
Southwestern Life recaptured $107,163,000 of the reserve liabilities from ERC
and received invested assets from ERC totaling $93,942,000. The assets
consisted of cash, short-term investments and marketable fixed maturity
investments totaling $25,455,000, CFLIC's investment in ICH Funding and
certain pass-through certificates issued by a special purpose trust with an
estimated fair value totaling $12,528,000, collateral loans due from James M.
Fail and CFSB Corporation totaling $50,640,000, and other assets, principally
mortgage loans, totaling $5,319,000. The difference between the reserve
liabilities recaptured by Southwestern Life and the assets transferred from
ERC, totaling $13,221,000, represented a ceding fee paid by Southwestern
Life, and reduced ERC's net ceding fees incurred to effect the CFLIC
reinsurance termination to $20,670,000. The reinsurance agreement between
Southwestern Life and ERC was amended to provide that ERC will be permitted
to recover the net ceding fees incurred out of the future profits on the
portion of Southwestern Life's annuity business it retained, together with
interest at 2% per annum on the unamortized balance of such ceding fees. For
financial reporting purposes, the reinsurance arrangement between
Southwestern Life and ERC has been reflected as a financing arrangement and,
accordingly, is not reflected in the Company's financial statement except for
the interest paid to ERC.
The amount of the ceding fees paid to CFLIC in connection with the
recapture was determined by management of the Company utilizing the
methodology developed by an independent actuarial firm, with appropriate
adjustments in assumptions to reflect changes in market interest rates and
other factors.
Pursuant to the 1993 Agreement, the Company agreed to bear the federal
income tax consequences resulting from the termination of the CFLIC
reinsurance agreements. Upon closing of the CFLIC termination, the Company
agreed to indemnify CNC and CFLIC for tax liabilities of CFLIC and Marquette
arising through June 30, 1994, and deposited into an escrow account
$8,825,000 of cash which the Company was to have received upon CFLIC's
repurchase of its preferred stock as a source of funds for the payment of
taxes for which the Company is responsible. With the payment of such tax
liabilities, the Company became entitled to all tax refunds to which CFLIC is
entitled through the carryback of capital losses resulting from the
termination of the CFLIC reinsurance agreements or as a result of any
redetermination of CFLIC's tax liabilities through the first taxable period
of CFLIC and Marquette ending after such termination. The amount deposited
into escrow along with the proceeds from CFLIC's tax refunds exceeded what
was required to pay CFLIC's tax liabilities and the $5,134,000 liability to
ERC by $5,426,000. These excess
59

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
funds were returned to the Company and effectively reduced the Company's
increase in basis in the CFLIC preferred and its net cash outlay to
$15,652,000.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded the redemption of
its preferred stocks received from CFLIC at their stated value which, in
management's opinion, approximated the fair value of such securities as of
the date the 1993 Agreement was entered into. The 620,423 shares of the
Company's Common Stock received from CFLIC were recorded at their market
value, or $5.25 per share, as of the date of closing. The termination of the
CFLIC reinsurance agreements, the receipt of a payment-in-kind dividend from
CFLIC representing dividends on such preferred stock from the date of
issuance through the date of redemption, and the redemption of the Company's
securities resulted in a pretax gain totaling approximately $11,133,000,
which included recognition of the $13,002,000 deferred unrealized gain on the
limited partnership interest that had been liquidated while held by CFLIC.
Experience refunds received from CFLIC under the Southwestern Life
reinsurance arrangement totaled $4,851,000 and $2,068,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. An experience refund was not
received for the three months ended March 31, 1994 because the business
reinsured by Southwestern Life was not profitable that quarter due
principally to the sales of certain high yield securities and lower
reinvestment yields. The Bankers business reinsured by CFLIC was not
profitable in 1992 due primarily to a loss incurred relative to certain
reinsurance recoverables and, as a consequence, Bankers was not entitled to
an experience refund in 1992.
Bankers was a party to a service agreement with Marquette and CFLIC whereby
it provided investment management, administrative, data processing, and
general supervisory and management services related to business reinsured
with CFLIC, in exchange for annual fees equal to .45% of reserves on the
reinsured policies. Fees earned from providing such services totaled
$1,593,000 for the ten months ended October 31, 1992. Such fees were taken
into consideration in the determination of profitability of the reinsured
business. In addition, a subsidiary entered into a service agreement
effective January 1992, whereby the subsidiary provided administrative
services for Marquette. Fees earned from providing such services totaled
$449,000 and $2,016,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
On February 11, 1994, the Company purchased all of the 100,000 shares of
its Class B Common Stock held by CNC for total cash consideration of
$500,000. The Class B Common Stock had entitled CNC to elect 75% of the
Company's Board of Directors (see Note 10). Concurrently with the purchase of
such stock, the Company entered into Independent Contractor and Services
Agreements (Services Agreements) with Robert T. Shaw and C. Fred Rice, the
controlling shareholders of CNC. The Services Agreements provide for a lump
sum payment to Messrs. Shaw and Rice totaling $2 million as of the closing
date and additional payments totaling $8,575,000 over a ten-year period. In
addition, the Company agreed to provide customary employee benefits to
Messrs. Shaw and Rice and their dependents. In the event of the deaths of
Messrs. Shaw or Rice, any amounts not previously paid under the Services
Agreements will become immediately payable to their estates. In consideration
for the Services Agreements, Messrs. Shaw and Rice agreed that they would
attempt to identify business opportunities in the insurance industry which
may be suitable for the Company and to consult with the Company regarding
such other matters as the Company may reasonably request. In addition, Mr.
Rice will continue to serve as an executive officer of the Company and, if
re-elected, will continue to serve on the Company's Board of Directors. The
Services Agreements replaced a management and consulting contract with CNC
that provided for annual payments to CNC totaling $2,000,000. In addition,
Mr. Shaw was granted an option, exercisable within a six month period, to
acquire certain aircraft equipment owned by the Company at its depreciated
book value. In cash transactions completed on June 30 and August 5, 1994, an
entity controlled by Mr. Shaw purchased one aircraft for $1,144,000 and an
unrelated third party to whom Mr. Shaw assigned his option purchased the
other aircraft for $4,005,000, respectively. At December 31, 1994, the
Company has provided a liability for the present value of amounts payable
under the Services Agreements totaling $6,102,000.
At December 31, 1993, the Company held a $2 million promissory note from
CNC bearing interest at 10% and payable in December 1995. The note and
accrued interest were repaid on February 11, 1994.

The following table reflects investment writedowns which were included in
realized investment gains or losses during each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994:

Investment real estate 3,800 4,500 3,800
-------- ------- --------
Total writedowns $105,033 $15,998 $148,919
======== ======= ========
Fixed maturities writedowns in 1993 were related to credit deterioration
of noninvestment-grade securities. CMO writedowns in 1994 included $86,187,000
of other than temporary writedowns of derivative CMO investments in Fund
America Investors Corporations II (Fund America Investment) and the Secured
Investors Secured Trust 1993-1 (SIST Residual), $7,248,000 of writedowns on
investments expected to be liquidated in 1995, and $4,368,000 of other than
temporary writedowns on other CMO investments. CMO writedowns in 1992 resulted
primarily from mortgage loan refinancing activity and the resultant effect of
prepayments on residual interest and interest-only CMOs. Writedowns of equity
securities in 1993 and 1992 primarily relate to non-redeemable preferred
stocks. The mortgage loan writedown in 1994 reflects the provision of a
reserve for mortgage loan losses. Investment real estate writedowns
reflect the general deterioration in real estate markets over the three
year period.
In 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and has classified its
fixed maturities into two categories, including available for sale and held to
maturity. SFAS No. 115 also establishes criteria for the recognition of a
permanent impairment in the carrying value of debt and equity securities.
During 1993, the Company reflected a charge for the cumulative effect of
writedowns of certain mortgage-backed securities required under the provisions
of SFAS No. 115 totaling $7,573,000. The cumulative charge was reflected net of
$2,651,000 in related income tax effects.
During 1994, the Company continued to evaluate its Fund America Investment
and the SIST Residual in accordance with SFAS No. 115 and Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 93-18, "Impairment Recognition for a Purchased
Investment in a Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Investment or in a Mortgage-
Backed Interest Only Certificate." Due primarily to the rising interest rate
environment experienced in 1994 and its effect on the projected future cash
flows of the Fund America Investment and the SIST Residual, realized investment
losses were triggered under the provisions of EITF No. 93-18 on two occasions
during 1994. For the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company reflected a
charge to earnings for the writedown of these investments from their GAAP book
value of $96,384,000 to their then fair value totaling $49,936,000, or a total
charge of $46,448,000. For the three months ended December 31, 1994, the
Company recorded an additional charge to earnings for the writedown of the Fund
America Investment from its GAAP book value totaling $48,352,000 to its
estimated fair value of $8,613,000, or a total charge of $39,739,000. At
December 31, 1994, the combined GAAP book value and carrying value of these
investments totaled $15,000,000 and $12,253,000, respectively.

diversified and include securities of 63 issuers.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company held residual interest
mortgage-backed securities other than the Fund America Investment and the SIST
Residual with carrying values of $7,904,000 and $11,137,000, respectively, and
fair values of $4,223,000 and $8,481,000, respectively. The effective annual
yield on such investments based on their carrying value approximated 4.5% at
December 31, 1994.

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company held mortgage loans principally
involving commercial real estate with carrying values of $127,047,000 and
$138,504,000, respectively, and estimated fair values of $119,065,000 and
$142,998,000, respectively. Approximately 62% of such mortgages involved
property located in Texas, consisting of first mortgage liens on completed
income-producing properties. No individual mortgage exceeds $8 million.
The Company's life insurance subsidiaries are required to maintain certain
amounts of assets on deposit with state regulatory authorities. Such assets
had an aggregate carrying value of $185,250,000 at December 31, 1994,
including securities of the Company with an estimated fair value of
$3,640,000, which have been eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying
balance sheet.
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have entered into interest rate swap
arrangements to convert the interest rate characteristics of certain
investments to match those of related insurance liabilities. The agreements
expire from 1995 to 1997 and exchange fixed-rate payments ranging from 6.0%
to 8.44% for three month LIBOR-based interest payments on notional amounts of
$23.3 million. The interest rate differential to be received or paid is
recognized over the lives of the agreements as an adjustment to interest
expense. The subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk in the event of default
by counterparties to the extent of any amounts that have been recorded in the
balance sheet and market risk as a result of potential future increases in
LIBOR. The fair value of interest rate swap arrangements at December 31,
1994, approximated $336,000.

31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Included in limited partnerships at December 31, 1994, was a $21,100,000
investment, representing a 49% limited partnership interest, in a partnership
formed to acquire through auction for resale certain mortgage loans and real
estate formerly held by failed savings and loan associations. During 1994,
this limited partnership distributed $7,891,000 of mortgages to the Company.

6. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1992, the Company owned a 39.9% indirect equity interest
in Bankers, consisting of a 29.7% equity interest in BLHC and 10.2% equity
interest through its limited partnership investment in CCP. In addition, the
Company owned $34.7 million principal amount of BLHC 11% Junior Subordinated
Debentures due 2003 and $50.0 million of a BLHC 11% preferred stock. The 1992
sale of Bankers was accounted for as a "step transaction" in accordance with
GAAP. Accordingly, gain recognition was limited to the 60.1% interest deemed
to have been sold. The excess of the sales price over the Company's basis in
Bankers on the 39.9% portion of the investment deemed to have been retained
by the Company (excess of sales price over basis in retained interest) was
reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of the Company's investments
in BLHC and CCP. Effective March 31, 1993, the Company's ownership interest
in BLHC was reduced to 24.4% as a result of BLHC's offering and on September
30, 1993, the Company sold its investment in BLHC (see Note 2).
At December 31, 1992, CCP had no assets or liabilities, other than its
investment in BLHC. Financial information of BLHC and the Company's carrying

Included in the limited partnership investments at December 31, 1991, was
the Company's 21.4% interest in CCP (Predecessor CCP). On July 21, 1992,
Predecessor CCP formed a new insurance holding company, CCP Insurance, Inc.
(CCP Insurance) and completed an initial public offering (IPO) of common
stock in CCP Insurance. Predecessor CCP was liquidated and the Company
received 1,764,439 shares of CCP Insurance common stock in exchange for its
21.4% interest in Predecessor CCP. At the date of exchange, the Company's
carrying value in Predecessor CCP totaled $19,509,000, which became the
Company's basis in the shares of CCP Insurance common stock. The Company
subsequently reflected its investment in CCP Insurance, along with 525,000
shares of CCP Insurance purchased in the IPO, as marketable equity
securities. Effective September 29, 1993, CCP Insurance completed an
underwritten primary and secondary offering of shares of its common stock.
The Company sold all of the 1,764,439 shares of the common stock of CCP
Insurance in conjunction with the offering for $47,272,000 and realized
investment gains totaling $27,758,000. In addition, during 1994 and 1993, the
Company sold 12,000 and 455,375 shares of CCP Insurance common stock
respectively in open market transactions and realized gains totaling $140,000
in 1994 and $5,310,000 in 1993. At December 31, 1994, the Company continues
to hold 57,625 shares of CCP Insurance common stock with a fair value of
approximately $1.2 million.

7. ACCOUNTING FOR EXCESS COST (GOODWILL)
SLC's accounting policy is to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis
over a 40-year period. Historically, the Company periodically assessed the
recoverability of its goodwill through an actuarial projection of the
undiscounted future earnings of the Company's insurance subsidiaries (excluding
excess cost amortization) over the remaining life of such goodwill. Such
projections assumed anticipated levels of new production over a succeeding
five-year period.
Under its historical accounting practices, approximately $288,333,000 of
SLC's total $298,017,000 of unamortized goodwill at year-end 1994 was
attributable to SLC's acquisition of Southwestern Life in 1986. The Company
tested the recoverability of the Southwestern Life goodwill and, based on the
historical methodology utilized, management concluded that such goodwill
appeared to be fully recoverable.
In early 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in SLC's
strategy for dealing with its public debt obligations and fixed charges. As
publicly announced, the new strategy seeks to restructure SLC's capital in such
a way as to appropriately meet the Company's long term goals, and to
significantly increase SLC's common equity. Management believes that this
process will inevitably involve negotiations with third parties based on the
perceived fair values of SLC and its operating subsidiaries. Accordingly,
management concluded that the Company's accounting policy with respect to the
recoverability of goodwill should be changed to discount projections of future
earnings using an economic rate of return that would be customary for evaluating
the present value of future profits in connection with current life insurance
company transactions. As a result of this accounting change, the goodwill
attributable to the acquisition of Southwestern Life was reduced from
$288,333,000 to $77,650,000, or a total reduction of $210,683,000. Because such
a change in accounting was determined to be inseparable from a change in
71
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
7. ACCOUNTING FOR EXCESS COST (GOODWILL) (CONTINUED)
an estimate, such reduction was reflected as a charge to operating earnings, as
opposed to being reflected as the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting
principle.
In addition to the reduction in goodwill related to Southwestern Life, SLC
evaluated the recoverability of its remaining goodwill totaling approximately
$9,683,000 and determined that $6,834,000 of such goodwill, substantially all of
which was related to the 1986 acquisition of Philadelphia American Life
Insurance Company (PALICO), was not recoverable through projected future
earnings. PALICO is the Company's principal provider of group health insurance
products and incurred substantial losses relative to such business over the past
two years. Accordingly, an additional charge to operating earnings of $6,834,000
was reflected at year-end 1994 and included in amortization of excess cost in
the consolidated statement of earnings.

========= =========
The estimated fair value of guaranteed investment contracts approximated
their carrying value at December 31, 1994, because it is expected that
substantially all of such contracts will be terminated during 1995. The
estimated fair value of the liabilities for other investment contracts is
approximately equal to their carrying value at December 31, 1994, because
interest rates credited to account balances approximate current rates paid on
similar investments and are generally not guaranteed beyond one year. Fair
values for the Company's insurance liabilities other than those for
investment-type insurance contracts are not required to be disclosed. However,
the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into
consideration in the Company's overall management of interest rate risk, which
minimizes exposure to changing interest rates through the matching of investment
maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The above reconciliation shows a consistent redundancy in the Company's
claims reserve due to the Company's conservative reserving methodology which has
been applied on a consistent basis from year to year.
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND RESTRICTIONS
At December 31, 1994, substantially all of consolidated stockholders'
equity represented net assets of the Company's insurance subsidiaries that
cannot be transferred to the Company in the form of dividends, loans or
advances. Generally, the net assets of the Company's insurance subsidiaries
available for transfer to the Company are limited to the greater of (except in
Kentucky where the applicable test is lesser of) the subsidiaries' net gain from
operations during the preceding year or 10% of the subsidiaries' net surplus as
of the end of the preceding year as determined in accordance with accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities. Payment
of dividends in excess of such amounts would generally require approval by the
regulatory authorities. At December 31, 1994, approximately $15 million was
available under existing laws for the payment of dividends by insurance
subsidiaries to the Company during 1995 without prior approval; however, Modern
American has agreed with its domiciliary state that it will not pay any
stockholder dividends without obtaining prior regulatory approval. Southwestern
Life has agreed in writing with its domiciliary state to give 30 days prior
notice before the payment of any stockholder dividends. Further, management has
given the Texas Department of Insurance assurances that neither Southwestern
Life nor Union Bankers will declare and pay any dividends in 1995 without the
prior approval of the Texas Insurance Commissioner.
At the request of the Illinois Department of Insurance, BML has informed
the Illinois Department in writing that it currently has no intention to declare
or pay any dividends in 1995 and that it will give the Illinois Department
advance notice if there is a change in the company's intention.
73
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND RESTRICTIONS (CONTINUED)
Both Integrity National and PALICO have acknowledged in writing the
request of the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance that prior to paying any
dividends in 1995 each company, respectively, will notify in advance
and obtain the Pennsylvania Department's approval of such dividends, which
approval the Pennsylvania Department has agreed not to unreasonably withhold.
The Company's insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory financial
statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
their respective state insurance departments. Prescribed statutory accounting
practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as
well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC). Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all
accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices differ from state
to state, and may differ from company to company within a state, and may change
in the future. Furthermore, the NAIC has a project to codify statutory
accounting practices, the result of which is expected to constitute the only
source of "prescribed" statutory accounting practices. Accordingly, that
project, which is expected to be completed in 1996, will likely change to some
extent prescribed statutory accounting practices, and may result in changes to
the accounting practices that insurance enterprises use to prepare their
statutory financial statements.
On the basis of reporting as prescribed by insurance regulatory
authorities, the combined stockholders' equity of the consolidated insurance
subsidiaries, after elimination of amounts attributable to investments in
consolidated insurance subsidiaries, amounted to approximately $219,357,000 and
$259,856,000 and the combined asset valuation reserve of SLC's insurance
subsidiaries amounted to $34,827,000 and $45,023,000 as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively. Combined net income (loss) was as follows:

Gains and losses relative to individual investments are generally
reflected for statutory reporting purposes as unrealized investment gains or
losses until such time as the specific investments are sold or otherwise
disposed of. In addition, statutory investment gains and losses are reported net
of related income tax effects. Statutory realized investment losses in 1992
include losses on the disposition of First Executive Corporation common stock
totaling $118 million which were reflected prior to 1992 for financial reporting
purposes.
During 1992, certain employees who had previously purchased shares of the
Company's Common Stock under a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement pledged the
shares of Common Stock to collateralize notes receivable which had been issued
to a former affiliate in 1982, but which were subsequently acquired by the
Company in 1985. The notes and accrued interest totaling $1,537,000 and
$1,471,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, bear interest at 9%,
mature in 1996 and were collateralized by 375,564 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at each of the respective dates. In addition, the Company has other notes
receivable with a carrying value of $258,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, which are collateralized by 51,534 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. In the accompanying balance sheets, such notes and accrued interest have
been reflected as reductions in stockholders' equity.

10. CAPITAL STOCK
At December 31, 1994, the Company had two classes of capital stock, Series
Preferred Stock (no par value), and Common Stock ($1.00 par value). The only
Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 1994 was the Series 1986-A (Series
1986-A Preferred Stock).
The holder of each outstanding share of Series 1986-A Preferred Stock is
entitled to cumulative annual dividends of $1.75 and liquidating distributions
of up to $25 per share. Such dividends and liquidating distributions are payable
in preference to the Common Stock. The Series 1986-A Preferred Stock may be
converted, at the option of the holder, at any time into shares of Common Stock
at the rate of .7692 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series 1986-A
Preferred Stock. The Company may redeem, at its option, any or all shares of the
Series 1986-A Preferred Stock at redemption prices declining annually to $25 per
share after December 1, 1996 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series
1986-A Preferred Stock is exchangeable, in whole but not in part, at the
Company's option on any dividend payment date commencing December 1, 1988 for
the Company's 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2011 at the rate of $25
principal amount of Debentures for each share of Series 1986-A Preferred Stock.
The Series 1986-A Preferred Stock is nonvoting, except as required by law and
except that if six quarterly dividends are unpaid and past due the holders of
the Series 1986-A Preferred Stock may elect two directors to the Company's Board
of Directors. On January 27,1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
the suspension of the payments of dividends on the Series 1986-A Preferred Stock
until reinstated by action of the Board. At March 31, 1995, approximately $3.5
million of preferred dividends were in arrears.
Through February 10, 1994, the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were
entitled to vote as separate classes on stockholder actions that directly or
indirectly could effect a change in the aggregate number or par value of shares
of Class B Common Stock or in the powers, preferences or rights of the holders
of Class B Common Stock. The Company's Board of Directors was classified by its
Certificate of Incorporation to require, so long as the Class B Common Stock was
outstanding, that at least 50% of the Company's directors were to be
independent, and that 75% of the directors were to be elected by the Class B
Common Stock and the remaining 25% were to be elected by the Common Stock and
voting Preferred Stock. The Class B Common Stock had the same rights to
dividends and liquidating distributions as the Common Stock. On February 11,
1994, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock and immediately cancelled and retired such shares (see Note 4).
In connection with the CFLIC transaction on June 30, 1994 (see Note 4),
the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of the Series 1984-A
Preferred Stock and the 1987-B Preferred Stock.
In connection with the sale of the Company's investment in BLHC on
September 30, 1993 (see Note 2), the Company redeemed all of the outstanding
shares of its Series 1987-A Preferred Stock at their $50 per share stated value.
On December 2, 1993, the Company redeemed for cash all of the outstanding shares
of its Series 1987-C Preferred Stock at their $50 per share stated value. Annual
dividend requirements on the redeemed shares totaled $5.50 per share and $8.00
per share, respectively.

11. REINSURANCE
The Company's life insurance subsidiaries have set their retention limit
for acceptance of risk on life insurance policies at various levels currently up
to $500,000. There are reinsurance agreements with various companies whereby
insurance in excess of the respective subsidiaries' retention limits is
reinsured. To the extent that reinsuring companies become unable to meet their
obligations under these agreements, the subsidiaries remain contingently liable.
Insurance in force ceded in 1994 and 1993 under risk sharing arrangements
totaled approximately $5.2 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively.
In 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 113, "Accounting
and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts,"
which changes the accounting and reporting for reinsurance contracts. SFAS No.
113 requires that when a reinsurance contract does not relieve the reinsurer
from the legal liability to its policyholders, ceding insurers must report
amounts recoverable from reinsurers as assets rather than as a reduction of the
related policyholder liabilities. In addition, financial reporting disclosures
were amended to require information relative to the volume of premiums ceded to
and the benefits paid by reinsurers under related reinsurance arrangements. At
December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company has reflected in its balance sheet an
asset for amounts due from reinsurers totaling $236,272,000 and $388,083,000,
respectively, and has correspondingly increased its insurance liabilities by the
same amounts in each respective year. Following is information relative to
premiums ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers and the related benefits incurred by
such reinsurers for the year ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in thousands):

====== ====== ======
Amounts due from reinsurers at December 31, 1993, includes $334,633,000
due from ERC relative to certain annuity business which ERC had retroceded to
CFLIC. The Company terminated the reinsurance arrangements with CFLIC during
1994 and reduced amounts due from ERC to $188,756,000 at December 31, 1994 (see
Note 4).
Certain of the Company's insurance subsidiaries have ceded blocks of
insurance under reinsurance treaties to provide funds for financing
acquisitions and other purposes. These reinsurance transactions, generally
known as "surplus relief reinsurance," represent financing
arrangements and, in accordance with GAAP, are not reflected in the

11. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)
accompanying financial statements except for the risk fees paid to reinsurers.
Statutory surplus provided by such treaties totaled $57.8 million and $51.5
million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Risk fees paid to
reinsurers generally range from 2% to 4% of the net amount of surplus provided.
12. COMMITMENTS, LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was
approximately $8.7 million, $6.6 million and $11.4 million, respectively. At
December 31, 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries had long-term leases
covering certain of their facilities and equipment. The net minimum rental
commitments under noncancellable operating leases with lease terms in excess of
one year are $6.1 million, $0.7 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the
years ending December 31, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
In addition, as a result of a judgement involving a mortgage loan
foreclosure, a subsidiary is obligated under a real property lease for payments
totaling $120,000 annually through November 2082.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had made investments during the year of
$1.8 million associated with an outstanding commitment to make limited
partnership investments of up to $25 million in Conseco Capital Partners II,
L.P. The partnership was formed to make corporate acquisitions of specialized
annuity, life and health insurance companies and related businesses.
The Company and its subsidiaries have been under examination by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the tax years 1983 through 1992. The IRS
completed its examination for the years 1983 through 1985 and issued preliminary
Notices of Deficiencies totaling approximately $17.5 million, before interest.
The Company protested such assessed deficiencies and subsequently reached a
final agreement with the IRS under which the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries paid approximately $4.0 million of additional taxes and interest.
In 1994, the IRS issued a preliminary Notice of Deficiency in the amount
of $127.7 million to the Company's insurance subsidiaries for the tax years 1986
through 1989, which included the disallowance of interest expense on the surplus
debentures issued by the Company's insurance subsidiaries. The issue involved
approximately $444 million of interest deductions claimed by the Company's
subsidiaries during the periods under examination and, if disallowed as
deductions, would have resulted in substantial additional tax and interest.
However, the Company protested this issue and subsequent to year-end 1994,
reached a tentative settlement for the tax years 1986 through 1989 which will
allow a full deduction for interest expense on surplus debentures. The tentative
settlement is subject to final approval by the congressional Joint Committee on
Taxation. Management believes that, based upon the tentative settlement and the
indemnification received from the seller relative to certain former and
presently owned subsidiaries, the ultimate liability for taxes and interest for
these years will not exceed amounts recorded in the Company's financial
statements.
The IRS has not completed its examination for the years 1990 through 1992
and therefore has not issued preliminary Notices of Deficiencies for those
years. Further, based on the current status of the examination of 1990 through
1992, no issues have been brought to the attention of management that would
result in a substantial liability for taxes and interest.
From time to time, assessments are levied on the Company's insurance
subsidiaries by life and health guaranty associations in states in which they
are licensed to do business. Such assessments are made primarily to cover the
losses of policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated insurers. In some states,
these assessments can be partially recovered through a reduction in future
premium taxes. The Company's insurance subsidiaries paid assessments of $2.7
million, $3.2 million and $2.8 million in the years 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Based on information currently available, the Company's insurance
subsidiaries have accrued approximately $1.3 million for future assessments.

Reference is hereby made to Item 3, Legal Proceedings, of this Form 10-K
with respect to a discussion of the CASTLE case and the MEYER case.
Various other lawsuits and claims are pending against the Company and its
subsidiaries. Based in part upon the opinion of counsel as to the ultimate
disposition of the above discussed and other matters, management believes that
the liability, if any, will not be material.
See Note 2 for a discussion regarding indemnifications made by the Company
with respect to the sale of Bankers.
13. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company, its non-life insurance subsidiaries and its life insurance
subsidiaries file a single consolidated tax return. ICH Funding filed a
separate income tax return subsequent to the Company's transfer of an 83%
ownership interest to CFLIC in June 1993 (see Note 4) and continued to do so
until the Company's reacquisition of such interest in June 1994. As an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ICH Funding will request
permission from the IRS to rejoin the consolidated tax group for the period
subsequent to June 1994. Marquette, which was also acquired in June 1994, is
not eligible to join the Company's consolidated tax return for 60 months and,
therefore, will file a separate income tax return until such time has passed.
The Company's deferred federal income tax asset at December 31, 1994 and
1993, is comprised of the tax benefit (cost) associated with the following items
based on 35% tax rates in effect:

13. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries had the following
income tax carryforwards available (in thousands):
TAX EXPIRATION
PURPOSES DATES
-------- ----------
U.S. federal regular tax operating loss carryforwards . . . $43,523 2009
U.S. federal AMT credit carryforwards against regular tax . 8,595 indefinite
Management has periodically assessed the ability of the Company's insurance
subsidiaries to produce taxable income in future periods sufficient to fully
utilize their operating book/tax temporary differences and tax loss
carryforwards. These assessments have included actuarial projections under
alternative scenarios of future profits on the existing insurance in force of
the Company's insurance subsidiaries, including provisions for adverse
deviation and assumptions regarding new business, adjusted to reflect the
Company's anticipated debt service costs. Valuation allowances totaling
$41,465,000 and $16,351,000 were provided against the Company's deferred tax
assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, to reflect the
uncertainties of realizing all of the benefits of temporary differences and
available tax loss carryforwards.
Included in the deferred income tax asset at December 31, 1994 are tax
effects totaling $29,809,000 associated with unrealized investment losses
included in stockholders' equity. Substantially all of such unrealized
investment losses at December 31, 1994, are attributable to SLC's insurance
subsidiaries' available for sale fixed maturities. The Company provided a
valuation allowance against the deferred income tax asset related to
unrealized investment losses as of the end of each interim period during
1994. At December 31, 1994, management assessed the level of its
subsidiaries' cash and short-term investments, the quality and duration of
their available for sale fixed maturity portfolios, and the likelihood that
its subsidiaries would be required to dispose of a substantial portion of
their available for sale fixed maturities and incur net capital losses in
order to meet their liquidity needs. These assessments included a review of
actuarial cash flow projections under various interest rate scenarios and
evaluations of historical data relative to benefits and surrender activity.
Management has concluded based on such assessment that it is unlikely that
the Company's subsidiaries would be required to incur significant capital
losses to meet anticipated liquidity needs over the near term and,
accordingly, the valuation allowance provided against the deferred income tax
asset arising from unrealized investment losses in 1994 interim periods was
eliminated at December 31, 1994.
The IRS is examining federal income tax returns of the Company and certain
insurance subsidiaries through 1992. See Note 12 for a discussion of certain
proposed deficiencies.
14. BENEFIT AND OPTION PLANS
The Company has not established retirement benefit plans for its
employees. However, Bankers had a noncontributory unfunded deferred compensation
plan for qualifying members of its career agency force. Net pension costs during
1992 included in other operating expenses included the following components (in
thousands):
Service cost-benefits earned during the period . . . $1,223
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation . . . 1,730
Net amortization . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150

The weighted-average discount rate and rate of increase in future
compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation were 8% and 5%, respectively.
81
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
14. BENEFIT AND OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)
During 1993, the Company entered into agreements with certain employees
providing for severance benefits supplemental to those available to all
employees under the Company's welfare benefit plans. The agreements generally
provide for a benefit of two times the annual salary of each covered employee
upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of their employment for any reason
other than gross misconduct, plus an additional benefit of up to one year's
salary if, in the aggregate, shares of the Company's Common Stock acquired by
such employees under the Company's incentive stock option plans or the stock
purchase plan of a predecessor company are disposed of at less than a minimum
specified price. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company reflected a
charge for the total anticipated cost of providing benefits under the agreements
totaling $2,820,000.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 106
requires that an enterprise accrue, during the years that an employee renders
the necessary service, the expected cost of providing postretirement life and
health care benefits to an employee and the employee's beneficiaries and covered
dependents. The Company's transition obligation as of January 1, 1993,
approximated $22,873,000. The Company reflected a charge for the cumulative
effect to January 1, 1993, of providing postretirement benefits for its
remaining employees totaling $2,746,000. The cumulative charge has been
reflected net of $934,000 in related income tax effects. The Company's
obligation for accrued postretirement benefits is unfunded. Following is an
analysis of the change in the liability for accrued postretirement benefits for
the year ended December 31, 1994 (in thousands):
Accrued postretirement benefits, beginning of year . . . . . . . . . $23,814

======
For measurement purposes, an 8% annual rate of increase in the health care
cost trend rate was assumed for 1994; the rate was assumed to decrease
gradually to 4.5% by the year 2015 and remain at that level thereafter. The
health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the assumed health care cost
trend rates by 1 percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement health care benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by
$2,078,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest components of net
periodic postretirement health care benefit cost for 1994 by $355,000. The
weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8.5%.

14. BENEFIT AND OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)
Southwestern Life and certain former subsidiaries provided certain health
care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Employees meeting
certain age and length of service requirements become eligible for these
benefits. The cost of providing these benefits and similar benefits for active
employees is recognized as expenses as claims are incurred. These costs
approximated $2,430,000 for 1992.
Under provisions of the 1990 Stock Option Incentive Plan the Company is
authorized to grant options to certain key employees for the purchase of up to
2.9 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price not less than fair
market value at date of grant. The options are exercisable for up to ten years
from date of grant and become exercisable at various times ranging from six
months to three years. Stock options granted are summarized as follows:

Fully diluted earnings per share are independently calculated for each
interim period. In those periods where the results of such calculations would
be antidilutive, primary earnings per share are reflected in lieu of fully
diluted earnings per share. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly earnings per
share on a fully diluted basis will not necessarily equal fully diluted
earnings per share for the entire year.
The Company's fourth quarter 1994 operating results were affected by the
adoption of a change in accounting, numerous significant charges, and
significant changes in income tax provisions. At December 31, 1994, the
Company adopted a change in accounting for assessing the recoverability of
excess cost of investments in subsidiaries over net assets acquired, or
"goodwill." Such change in accounting resulted in a reduction in the
remaining unamortized balance of excess cost relative to the Company's
investment in Southwestern Life totaling $210,683,000, which was reflected as
a charge to operating earnings since such adjustment was considered to be
inseparable from a change in estimate. In addition, the Company reflected a
$6,834,000 writedown through a charge to operating earnings of other excess
cost, primarily the excess cost related to the Company's investment in
PALICO, based on the determination that it was likely that such excess cost
was not recoverable. Because there are no income tax consequences associated
with excess cost, the effect on 1994 fourth quarter operating results of the
change in accounting and the writedown of excess cost totaled $217,517,000,
or $4.60 per common share. See Note 7 for a discussion of the change in
accounting policy and the additional writedown taken with respect to excess
cost.
Pretax charges to operations in the 1994 fourth quarter included writedowns
related to certain investments totaling $58,216,000, a provision for the loss
on the anticipated sale of Bankers New York totaling $4,200,000, and a
provision for litigation costs and other contingencies totaling $7,830,000.
The investment writedowns included an other than temporary writedown of the
Company's Fund America Investment totaling $39,739,000 (see Note 5). Other
investment writedowns reflected in the 1994 fourth quarter included other
than temporary impairments in the values of certain other derivative CMOs,
real estate and mortgage loans totaling $10,800,000, and provisions for
losses on CMO investments expected to be disposed of in order to meet
liquidity needs totaling $7,677,000. The Company has entered into a letter of
intent with respect to the sale of Bankers New York and, accordingly,
reflected a charge to operating earnings during the 1994 fourth quarter
for the difference between the proceeds anticipated to be received
84
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
16. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
from such sale and the Company's carrying value of its investment in Bankers New
York (see Note 2). The net after-tax effect of the investment writedowns, the
estimated loss on the sale of Bankers New York and the provision for litigation
costs and other contingencies totaled $45,660,000, or $0.97 per common share.
Based on the current financial condition of the Company and the
uncertainties regarding SLC's ability to utilize its available loss
carryforwards and other temporary differences, SLC increased its valuation
allowance for deferred income tax assets in the 1994 fourth quarter by
$20,116,000. Further, based on the tentative resolution of certain issues
relative to an IRS audit for the tax years 1986 through 1989, the Company
increased its liability for income tax settlements by $7,981,000 and reflected
other adjustments to its income tax liabilities totaling $2,269,000. These
adjustments, totaling $30,366,000, or $0.64 per common share, were included in
the Company's 1994 fourth quarter income tax provision (see Note 13).
Exclusive of the above-described excess cost adjustments, other charges
and income tax provisions, the Company reported a net loss for the 1994 fourth
quarter totaling $9,120,000. After preferred dividend requirements, the net loss
attributable to common stock totaled $11,453,000, or $0.24 per common share.
Such 1994 fourth quarter operating results were effected by, among other things,
pretax losses in the Company's group insurance segment totaling approximately
$6,985,000, provisions for anticipated future guaranty fund assessments and
other miscellaneous taxes totaling approximately $3,700,000, and provisions for
the doubtful collectibility of certain receivables totaling $2,000,000.
Reporting results of insurance operations on a quarterly basis
necessitates numerous estimates throughout the year, principally in the
calculation of reserves and in the determination of the effective rate for
federal income taxes. It is the Company's practice to review its estimates at
the end of each quarter and, if necessary, make appropriate refinements, with
the resulting effect being reported in current operations. Only at year-end is
the Company able to retrospectively assess the precision of its previous
quarterly estimates. The Company's fourth quarter results contain the effect of
the difference between previous estimates and final year-end results and,
therefore, the results of an interim period may not be indicative of the results
for the entire year.
17. INDUSTRY SEGMENT DATA
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the sale and
underwriting of individual life and health insurance, group insurance and
accumulation products. Total revenues by segment reflect sales to unaffiliated
customers. Operating earnings (loss) equal total revenues less operating
expenses.
Premium income and other considerations includes premium income, mortality
and administration charges, surrender charges and amortization of deferred
policy initiation fees. Net investment income and other income are allocated to
the segments based on rates ranging from 6% to 10% related to reserves generated
by each of the four insurance segments. Corporate revenues and operating
earnings include gains (losses) on the sales of subsidiaries, equity in earnings
(losses) of unconsolidated affiliates and limited partnerships, and the
remaining net investment income considered to be income applicable to the
investment of capital and surplus funds. Operating expenses are allocated to
each segment based on a number of assumptions and estimates and reported segment
operating results would change if different methods were applied.

from $26,149,000 at December 31, 1993 to $15,915,000 at December 31, 1994. The
decrease was principally due to the redemption during 1994 of one security with
a book value of $10,000,000. No gain or loss was recorded on the redemption. No
purchases, sales or transfers of securities occurred in this category during
1994.

19. OTHER OPERATING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
In October 1992, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and
agreed to pay a $12.6 million settlement fee to Perot Systems, Inc. to modify an
existing data processing services arrangement. Under the settlement agreement,
Perot Systems agreed to eliminate minimum fee requirements totaling $15.6
million annually through July 1992, to lower its unit transaction charges, and
to procure the release of the Company relative to its guarantee of certain
equipment lease obligations.
For the years ended December 31, 1993, and 1992, the Company reflected
consolidation and reorganization expenses totaling $23,870,000 and $10,885,000,
respectively. The expenses were associated with the operational consolidation of
three of the Company's Texas-based insurance subsidiaries. The 1993 expenses
include a $10,757,000 writedown of certain home office real estate, a $9,760,000
writeoff of certain capitalized data processing costs and $3,353,000 in
writeoffs of other property and equipment. The 1992 expense included an accrual
for the expenses anticipated to be incurred relative to such consolidation and
an $8,000,000 writedown of certain home office real estate. In addition, during
1994 and 1993, the Company assessed its exposure to the costs associated with
pending litigation and certain other contingencies and provided reserves
totaling $7,830,000 and $9,320,000, respectively, for the costs anticipated to
be incurred relative to such matters. The litigation settlement expense in 1992
related to a class action suit which had been filed by certain policyholders and
which was settled in that year.
Changes in the present value of future profits of acquired business for
the three years ended December 31, 1994, are as follows:

period of eight (8) months after the occurrence of such damage or

foregoing, in the event Tenant does not approve Landlord's Contractor

contractor or engineer acceptable to Tenant ("Tenant's Contractor") and
the two contractors so selected shall thereafter immediately make a
determination as to whether or not the damage can be restored within
the above stated eight (8) month period. If Landlord's Contractor and
Tenant's
Contractor cannot reach a mutual agreement within ten (10) days after
the designation of Tenant's Contractor, then the two contractors shall

right to require that any such Additional Spaces so canceled or released by
Tenant be thereafter made available to Tenant.

amended to read as follows:
"(10) days prior to the last day of said month. Tenant's right to the
use of"

Landlord is two and one-half percent of "Gross Rental Income" (as defined

sentence shall not prejudice the rights of Landlord pursuant to paragraph
16 of Exhibit "H" to the Lease.

unfit for occupancy at any time that (i) such of the Improvements
Restoration has been completed so as to permit occupancy as evidenced by
the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or its equivalent for the
Premises by the appropriate governmental entity having jurisdiction over
the Premises for the purpose of issuing such certificate, or (ii) if no
such certificate can be issued by any appropriate governmental entity
under applicable laws, ordinances, or regulations, at such time as the
Improvements Restoration have been substantially completed and tendered
to Tenant or (iii) Landlord has expended the Reconstruction Allowance for
the restoration of the Premises and has tendered the Premises to Tenant.

Rentable Area of the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, not

after the occurrence of such damage or destruction Landlord shall have the
right to use reasonable efforts to relocate Tenant to space, similar in
size to the Premises, within the Building until the Premises are fit for
occupancy (as referenced in the preceding paragraph). If Landlord is
unable or unwilling to so relocate Tenant, Tenant may terminate this
Lease by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after

TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
LINCOLN PLAZA OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
AS LANDLORD, AND
SOUTHWESTERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
AS TENANT
PAYMENT OF EXCESS BASIC COSTS AND ELECTRICAL COSTS
1. BASIC COSTS
The Base Rental payable hereunder shall be adjusted from time to time in
accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Tenant's Base Rental is based, in part, upon the estimate that
annual "Basic Costs" (as hereinafter defined) will be equal to the "Expense
Stop". During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay as an adjustment to Base
Rental hereunder an amount (per each square foot of Rentable Area within the
Premises) equal to the excess ("Excess") from time to time of Basic Costs per
square foot of Rentable Area in the Building over the Expense Stop. Landlord
may collect such additional Base Rental in arrears on a yearly basis.
Landlord shall also have the option to make a good faith estimate of the
Excess from time to time for each upcoming calendar year (or remainder
thereof, if applicable) and, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant,
may require the monthly payment of Base Rental to be adjusted in accordance
with such estimate. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be
subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 2 below when Basic Costs are
available for such calendar year.
(ii) "Basic Costs" shall mean all direct and indirect costs and expenses
in each calendar year of operating, maintaining, repairing, managing and
owning the Building and the Property plus all operating costs of the Exterior
Common Areas (below defined), but exclusive of Electrical Costs, as provided
in Paragraph 2 of this Exhibit "C". Basic Costs shall not include the cost of
capital improvements, depreciation, interest, lease commissions, and
principal payments on mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord.
Basic Costs shall, however, include the amortization of capital improvements
which are primarily for the purpose of reducing basic costs, or which are
required by governmental authorities. "Exterior Common Areas" shall mean
those portions of the Property which are not located within the Building and
which are provided and maintained for the common use and benefit of Landlord
and tenants of the Building generally and the employees, invitees and
licensees of Landlord and such tenants; including without limitation, all
parking areas (enclosed or otherwise) and all streets, sidewalks, walkways,
and landscaped areas.
11. ELECTRICAL COSTS
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, Basic
Costs shall not include the cost of electricity, but the Base Rental
hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal to Tenant's pro rata share of
the cost of electricity to the Building ("Electrical Costs"'), which pro rata
share shall be equal to the product of (i) the Electrical Costs and (ii) the
fraction having a numerator equal to the Rentable Area of the Premises and a
denominator equal to the Rentable Area in the Building. The Electrical Costs
used to calculate Tenant's pro rata share as heretofore described shall not
include the cost of any extraordinary electrical use by other tenants of the
Building, where such costs are charged to such tenants. Landlord may from
time to time deliver to Tenant an invoice for such pro rata share of
Electrical Costs and Tenant shall make payment of such amount to Landlord
within three (3) days of delivery of the invoice. Landlord from time to time
shall also have the option to make a good faith estimate of Tenant's pro rata
share of the Electrical Costs for each upcoming year and, upon thirty (30)
days' written notice to Tenant, may require the monthly payment of Base
Rental to be adjusted in accordance with such estimate. Any amounts paid
based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as hereafter
provided when actual Electrical Costs are available for such year.
111. PROCEDURE
The following additional provisions shall apply to Paragraph 1 of this
Exhibit "C":
(a) By April 1 of each calendar year during Tenant's occupancy, or as
soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of
Landlords Basic Costs and Electrical Costs for the previous calendar year. If
for any calendar year additional Base Rental was collected for the prior
year, as a result of Landlord's estimate of Basic Costs and Electrical Costs,
in excess of the additional Base Rental due during such prior year, then
Landlord shall refund to Tenant any over payment (or at Landlord's option,
apply such amount against rentals due or to become due hereunder). Likewise
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the
prior year. In no event shall Basic Costs per square foot of Rentable Area
within the Building be deemed to be less than the Expense Stop, it being the
intent of Landlord and Tenant that Tenant shall at all times be responsible
for the payment of, and shall pay, not less than the amount of Base Rental
for the applicable period (before adjustment) specified in this Lease.
(b) Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right no more frequently than
once per calendar year, following thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Landlord, to audit Landlord's books and records relating to Basic Costs and
Electrical Costs; or at Landlord's sole discretion, Landlord will provide such
audit at Tenant's expense prepared by an independent certified public
accountant.
(c) In the event that the Lease Term commences on a day other than
January 1 or terminates on a day other than December 31, the Excess for that
part of the first (1st) calendar year or last calendar year during the Lease
Term shall be determined as follows:
(i) The Expense Stop shall be prorated based upon the number of
months in such partial calendar year. With respect to any partial calendar
month occurring during such partial calendar year, the Expense Stop shall
also be prorated based upon the number of days in that partial calendar
month.
(ii) The Excess, if any, for the applicable partial calendar year
shall then be the amount by which (a) actual Basic Costs per square foot
of Rentable Area in the Building for such calendar year, prorated based
upon the number of months and days in the applicable calendar year, exceed
(b) the Expense Stop, as prorated pursuant to the provisions of this
Subparagraph 3(c).
(iii) With respect to a proration for the first (1st) calendar year
and in the event that Landlord's estimate of the Basic Costs to be
incurred during such partial calendar year exceeds the Expense Stop, as
prorated pursuant to the provisions of this Subparagraph 3(c), Landlord
may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, require the
monthly payments of Base Rental occurring during such partial calendar
year to be adjusted in accordance with such estimate.
(iv) The provisions of this Exhibit "C" shall survive the termination
of the Lease Term.

materials rate.
3.3 REIMBURSEMENTS. In addition to the Monthly Service Charge, Customer
shall reimburse PMSC for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by PMSC in connection with rendering the Services
("Reimbursements"). Except in an emergency or when otherwise not
possible, PMSC shall obtain Customer's written approval for such
expenses in advance. The parties anticipate that this shall most often
be done by telefaxes to and from Customer's Account Executive. Such
expenses include without limitation those which require travel (coach
or economy airfare rates only) to, and hotel accommodations, meals and
related expenses for any such personnel at, any location requested by
Customer, excluding attendance at any Committee meetings called
pursuant to Section 6.2. PMSC shall send Customer a monthly invoice
for the aggregate amount of the expenses that are to be reimbursed to
PMSC during the preceding month. Customer shall pay PMSC the amount to
be reimbursed within ten (10) days following the receipt of PMSC's
invoice to Customer.
3.4 TIME OF PAYMENT; INTEREST. Any sum due PMSC under this Agreement for
which a time for payment is not otherwise specified shall be due and
payable thirty (30) days following the receipt of PMSC's invoice by
Customer. Any amount owed under this Agreement to PMSC, which is not
paid on or before the date such amount is due, shall bear interest
until paid at the rate per annum of 5% over the
then current published prime interest rate of Citibank of New York,
but in any event not to exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest
permitted by applicable law.
PMSC agrees that the application of the above interest charge shall
be suspended for any invoiced amounts or portions thereof which
Customer in good faith disputes by written notice to PMSC of the
specific problem (Customer shall timely pay all undisputed portions
of the invoice) until PMSC either provides Customer a corrected
invoice or advises Customer in writing that PMSC has investigated
the matter and determined that the invoice is correct.
3.5 TAXES. In addition to the Monthly Service Charge and other amounts
payable by Customer to PMSC under this Agreement, Customer shall
reimburse PMSC for any taxes (including any sales or use taxes) that
may be levied or imposed by any federal, state or local government or
tax authority upon, with respect to, as a result of, or as consequence
of (i) the performance of the Services by PMSC, (ii) the payment to
PMSC for such Services, or (iii) this Agreement (collectively, the
"Taxes").
All Taxes that are levied and become due shall be reimbursed by
Customer pursuant to this Section 3.; provided, however, Customer
shall not be required to reimburse PMSC for Taxes based upon or
measured by the net income of PMSC or for Taxes solely based on or
measured by the value of PMSC's Data Center hardware. PMSC shall
cooperate with Customer to reasonably attempt to minimize any
applicable Taxes. In connection therewith, PMSC shall provide
Customer with any resale certificates, information regarding
out-of-state use of materials, services or sales, or other
exemption certificates that it might have or may in the future
obtain.
3.6 LICENSED PMSC-OWNED SOFTWARE. The parties acknowledge that
contemporaneously herewith CYBERTEK is licensing certain PMSC-Owned
Software to Customer and that in the future PMSC or CYBERTEK may
license other PMSC-Owned Software to Customer or provide other
services to Customer under separate contracts. All payments under such
agreements shall be payable separately from the required payments
under this Agreement.
4. TERM
4.1 INITIAL TERM. The term ("Term") of this Agreement shall commence on
the Effective Date, and subject to earlier termination in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, shall continue for a period of 72
full calendar months after the Live Processing Date. Customer and PMSC
agree to document the Live Processing Date, and therefore the end date
of said 72 month period, in an Addendum hereto promptly after the Live
Processing Date.
4.2 RENEWAL AND EXPIRATION.
a. Not less than 12 months prior to expiration of this Agreement,
the Parties agree to notify each other whether they desire to
renew this Agreement.
b. In the event the Parties desire to renew the Agreement, but the
Parties are unable to agree to renewal terms and conditions as
of nine (9) months prior to expiration, this Agreement may be
extended at Customer's option for a period of one (1) year at
prices that are 10% higher than the preceding twelve (12)
months. A written amendment agreeing to such one (1) year
extension must be signed by Customer and PMSC prior to a date
no later than six (6) months prior to termination.
5. PERSONNEL
5.1 PMSC ASSIGNED EMPLOYEES. During the term of this Agreement, PMSC shall
have the sole right to (i) control and supervise the activities of its

at law. In the event that PMSC can show that a breach of such
information has occurred or is likely to occur in the future,
Customer hereby consents to the entry of a temporary restraining
order and preliminary or temporary injunction without the
requirement of a bond or other financial instrument pending final

such thirty (30) day period, then the dispute or disagreement
shall be immediately referred in writing to the Committee.
Either person may refer the dispute or disagreement to the next
level without waiting until 30 days have expired if such person
believes in good faith that he or she can not reach agreement
with the other person. The Committee shall use its best efforts
in good faith to attempt to resolve such dispute, disagreement
or default, or to negotiate an appropriate modification or
amendment to this Agreement.
In the event that any such dispute or disagreement between the
parties cannot in good faith be resolved to the satisfaction of
the Committee within thirty (30) days after either party has
notified the other in writing of the need to resolve the
specific dispute or disagreement within such thirty (30) day
period, then the dispute or disagreement shall be immediately
referred in writing to the appropriate Vice Presidents of PMSC
and Customer for their consideration. The Committee may refer
the dispute or disagreement to the next level without waiting
until 30 days have expired if it determines in good faith that
it can not resolve the matter.

resolve such dispute or disagreement to their mutual
satisfaction within ten (10) days after the latter person has

Vice Presidents of PMSC and Customer.

disagreement shall be immediately referred in writing to the
Presidents of PMSC and Customer.

processing industry mutually satisfactory to both parties. Such
mediation shall take place at a location to be chosen by mutual
agreement of the parties. In the event that the parties fail to
agree on a meeting site, the mediator shall make such decision.
Each party shall bear its own costs of mediation, but the
parties shall share the costs of the mediator.
d. Except as provided in Section 9.3 or 9.4, neither party shall
be permitted to exercise any remedies available to such party

negotiation does not appear likely, or (ii) thirty (30) days
following the date that the matter is unsuccessfully addressed
by the Committee.

incurred in defending against such payment, loss, cost or expense
or claim therefor) made or incurred by or asserted against PMSC or
CYBERTEK in respect of:
a. the infringement by Customer of the Business Property Rights of
any Person (provided that such infringement is not based on
PMSC-Owned Software or hardware provided by PMSC);
b. the infringement by PMSC or CYBERTEK of the Business Property
Rights of any Person resulting from the use of any

Customer in the performance of the Services prior to PMSC
having been notified in writing of such possible infringement
and afterwards for as long as it takes PMSC and Customer to
agree on an alternate understanding; and

customers, suppliers or creditors of Customer, which result

with respect to any actual or potential claim, any written demand,
the commencement of any action, or the occurrence of any other

(usually this is when written documents pertaining to the Claim
are received), or if such Claim does not involve a third party
Claim, promptly after PMSC first has actual knowledge of such
Claim, PMSC shall give notice to Customer of such Claim in
reasonable detail and stating the amount involved, if known,

PMSC may also elect, at any time and at Customer's sole cost,
expense and ultimate liability, regardless of the outcome, and
through the counsel of its choice, to litigate, defend, settle
or otherwise attempt to resolve such Claim. PMSC shall not be
under any duty to litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt
to resolve a claim in order to avail itself of Customer's above
stated indemnification and hold harmless commitments. In any
event, Customer and PMSC shall fully cooperate with
each other and their respective counsel in connection with
any such litigation, defense, settlement or other attempted
resolution. In defending or settling any such claim Customer

SCHEDULE C - MONTHLY SERVICE CHARGE
MONTHLY PROCESSING CHARGE: During the term of this Agreement, Customer shall
pay PMSC a Monthly Processing Charge based on resource utilization and the
table of charges set forth below:
Resource Rate ($) Per Unit
------------------- -------- -----------------
MVS CPU - Priority 55.60 minute*
MVS CPU - Prime 11.12 minute*
MVS CPU - Other 5.56 minute*
TSO Connect .131 hour
Tape Mount .32 each
Tape EXCP .0106 thousand
Tape Storage .0159 each per month
Tape Removed 3.93 each
Tape Returned 2.78 each
DASD EXCP .028 thousand
DASD 171.71 gigabyte per month
Remote Page Print .0004 image
Remote Print .007 thousand lines
Remote Microfiche .007 thousand lines
Remote Microfilm .007 thousand lines
"MVS CPU - Priority" is a job status that involves a single class initiator -
these jobs are immediately initiated and they have access to and control over
all necessary system resources until completed.
"MVS CPU - Prime" Time is 0700 - 1800, PMSC Business days, Monday - Friday,
Eastern time
*CPU Usage for IBM - MVS mainframe: Actual CPU minutes shall be multiplied by
a factor which will be designed to convert the CPU minutes of processing time
on PMSC's initial MVS mainframe to an equivalent number of CPU minutes of
processing time on an IBM model 9021 -982 mainframe. This calculated number of
CPU minutes shall then be multiplied by the above per CPU minute rates to
figure the monthly CPU minute charges. In the event that a different or
upgraded mainframe with different capabilities is utilized, the time
adjustment factor applicable for such usage shall be changed so that the
resulting charges for processing on such mainframe would be reasonably
equivalent to the charges which would have resulted from the use of PMSC's
initial MVS mainframe.
For example, if the CPU were replaced with one twice as fast, the time
adjustment factor would be doubled to ensure that the result is a cost
equivalent to that which would be paid if the initial CPU had been utilized.
ANNUAL MINIMUM PROCESSING CHARGES: Notwithstanding the above, Customer
acknowledges that the Annual Minimum Processing Charges set forth below shall
be required if Customer's actual Monthly Processing Charges do not exceed the
figures listed below. If any additional payment amount is required to achieve
the Annual Minimum Processing Charges, PMSC shall add such amount to
Customer's invoice for the 12th, 24th, etc. monthly invoices.
ANNUAL MINIMUM PROCESSING CHARGES
First 12 calendar months $2,100,000
Second 12 calendar months 2,100,000
Third 12 calendar months 1,778,000
Fourth 12 calendar months 1,778,000 or average of prior 12
months actual usage,
whichever is less
Fifth 12 calendar months 1,778,000 or average of prior 12
months actual usage,
whichever is less
Sixth 12 calendar months 1,778,000 or average of prior 12
months actual usage,
whichever is less
VOLUME DISCOUNT: PMSC hereby agrees to discount Customer's MVS CPU/minute rate
by the following percentages for any minutes of processing time that fall into
the ranges set forth below in any of the 12 full calendar month periods that
commence with Live Processing Date:
PRIME TIME MVS CPU MINUTES IN A 12 MONTH PERIOD
125,001 through 160,000 10%
160,001 through 200,000 15%
200,001 and above 20%
OTHER MVS CPU MINUTES IN A 12 MONTH PERIOD
170,001 through 225,000 10%
225,001 through 275,000 15%
275,001 and above 20%
Priority MVS CPU minutes shall not be discounted and shall not be
counted in either Prime Time or Other Minutes.
MISCELLANEOUS: Except for the two (2) T1 lines from Columbia to Dallas and the
associated multiplexing equipment, which consists of 4 AT&T 731 MUX's,
Customer shall reimburse PMSC for all other data communications charges
incurred by PMSC, including charges in the Start-Up Period. Additionally,
while PMSC will be responsible for Third-Party Software maintenance charges
(except as specified below in the situation of an early termination), Customer
shall be responsible for any separate Third Party Software license fees or
charges associated with Customer elected version or CPU upgrades (this shall
not apply to CPU upgrade fees if PMSC unilaterally upgrades its CPU). Customer
also agrees to pay PMSC at PMSC's then current rates for any local printing at
the Data Center.
EARLY TERMINATION AT CUSTOMER'S ELECTION
1. PALICO. If Customer elects to terminate processing the business of
Philadelphia American Life Insurance Company ("PALICO") as of the
periods listed below after the Live Processing Date, Customer agrees to
give PMSC six (6) months prior written notice and to pay PMSC the
indicated early termination amounts set forth below with said notice. If
Customer elects for a termination to be effective between the 24th and
36th months, 36th and 48th months, etc., Customer shall pay a prorated
termination charge.
prior to the end of the 24th month $721,000
as of the end of the 36th month 516,000
as of the end of the 48th month 359,000
as of the end of the 60th month 180,000
as of the end of the 72nd month 0
2. LINCOLN PLAZA. If Customer elects to terminate processing the business
of itself and all Authorized Companies other than PALICO ("Lincoln
Plaza) during the periods listed below after the Live Processing Date,
Customer agrees to give PMSC six (6) months prior written notice and to
pay PMSC the indicated early termination amounts set forth below with
such notice. Customer agrees that it shall process all of the data of
Lincoln Plaza with PMSC for at least a full 48 month period after the
Live Processing Date. If Customer elects for a termination to be
effective between the 48th and 60th months or 60th and 72nd months,
Customer shall pay a prorated termination charge. Customer agrees that
in the event Lincoln Plaza business is terminated under this subsection,
PALICO business must have already been terminated or it must terminate
at the same time as Lincoln Plaza business. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that if it terminates both PALICO and Lincoln Plaza, Customer
shall pay the applicable termination charges set forth in subsection 1
above and the termination charges set forth below in this subsection.
as of the end of the 48th month $1,078,000
as of the end of the 60th month 541,000
3. Customer agrees that to the extent that an early termination described
above is effective between the beginning and end dates for maintenance
of one or more Third-Party Software systems which are to be transferred
to Customer after such termination, Customer shall reimburse PMSC for a
prorata share of the relevant maintenance charge based on the remainder
of the maintenance period after the termination date.
4. Customer may avoid the above early termination charge set forth in
Section 1 above if during the following periods Customer's data
processing business with PMSC (expressed as a total annual dollar
figure) equals or exceeds the figures set forth below:
first 12 months $2,963,535
second 12 months 2,963,535
third 12 months 2,100,000
In the event that PALICO is sold to a new owner that is willing to enter
into agreements with PMSC that are similar with these that Customer is
entering into, PMSC agrees that such continuing PALICO business
(measured in terms of revenue to PMSC) shall count toward the above
numbers notwithstanding the sale. Additionally, the same will be true if
the PALICO business is retained and the Lincoln Plaza business is sold
and its new owner will enter into such similar agreements. For example,
if PALICO is sold (and Customer is therefore deemed to have made the
election set forth in 1. above) and the purchasing party agrees to enter
into agreements with PMSC that are similar to the Enterprise License
Agreement and the Agreement (no guarantee that the pricing will be
exactly the same), then the early termination charge set forth in 1.
above may be avoided if the above minimum annual data processing revenue
amounts are met or exceeded by the combination of revenues under this
Agreement and the purchaser's Processing Services Agreement.
SMF DATA: In recognition of the role Customer's SMF data has played in PMSC's
pricing set forth above, Customer hereby represents and warrants that the SMF
data provided to PMSC was complete and accurate. Customer agrees that if
incomplete or erroneous data was provided, inadvertently or otherwise, and PMSC
relied on same to its detriment in setting the above pricing, Customer
agrees to resolve such matter with PMSC in good faith.
SCHEDULE D - CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
Customer shall:
a. At all times, be responsible for control over its business.
Customer agrees to validate the accuracy of both input and output
data.

SCHEDULE E - DISASTER RECOVERY SERVICES
DATA SECURITY
PMSC will provide for back-up and off-site storage of mainframe data files
based on Customer's file retention plan. Currently PMSC utilizes its own
facilities and the services of an off-premises storage facility for all backup
requirements. As a first level, non-critical storage location, a private room
is maintained to house tapes, documentation, and emergency equipment needs.
The room is equipped with fire protection, secured access, and is directly
linked to fire and police departments. Such storage room is in PMSC's separate
corporate headquarters building adjacent to PMSC's Data Center. The off-site
storage facility is utilized for critical back-up requirements and is located
apart from PMSC's premises.
All DASD volumes will be copied to tape and sent off-site on a weekly basis.
Three cycle rotations will be maintained. Two cycles will be off-site at all
times. Incremental back-ups will be sent off-site daily and the previous
incremental files returned from the off-site location.
Customer is responsible for determining and publishing a file retention plan
for PMSC to use in managing the off-site storage process.
BACKUP AND RECOVERY PROCEDURES
The purpose of backup and recovery procedures is to permit file recovery in
the event of an unforeseen disaster which would destroy normal processing
files or the Data Center.
PMSC shall retain the generations of files necessary to rerun the major
production application systems. PMSC shall in accordance with Customer's file
retention plan back up all on-line system files in such a manner that Customer
shall not have to reenter more than one day's processing into the system in
the event of system failure.
DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
PMSC has a reasonable disaster recovery plan that provides for a recovery site
and testing of the execution of the plan. In the event of a disaster, PMSC
WILL provide disaster recovery services as defined in PMSC's disaster recovery
plan. PMSC's disaster recovery plan is subject to change from time to time as
PMSC deems necessary.
The disaster recovery plan, as maintained by PMSC and audited from time to
time by PMSC's independent auditors, was created and implemented in 1993.
PMSC's independent auditors' opinion of the plan's compliance with FAS 70
shall be disclosed to Customer's independent auditors upon its availability
(the first such opinion is currently anticipated by year-end 1994). The plan
document contains the responsibilities, activities, and logistics for the
recovery of PMSC's data processing operations on the occurrence of a major
disaster or critical emergency condition. The document is divided into various
sections and subsections, each of which relate specific responsibilities,
activities, procedures, and documentation to personnel groups involved in the
administration, notification, processing, support and/or facilities
restoration phases of the recovery operation.
DISASTER RECOVERY TESTING
Disaster recovery procedures are tested at least once annually at the
contracted recovery facility. This test is scheduled with at least 60 days
prior written notice and includes reasonable Customer participation in order
to update and verify procedures, reduce specific personnel dependency, provide
cross training, reduce system and data restore time, test network connections,
and verify data integrity. Customer may waive participation in a test by
written notice, however, if an actual disaster occurs prior to a subsequent
test in which Customer does participate, PMSC shall not be responsible for
delays that might reasonably have been avoided if Customer had practiced
disaster recovery with PMSC. Prior testing has provided for online
availability within 24 hours from initiation. Planning sessions begin
approximately 6 weeks before a scheduled test to assure test objectives are
defined, documented, and agreed upon. Any other tests are unscheduled and
unannounced and do not normally include customers, unless specifically
requested by Customer. All tests include the participation of required vendors
to assure their emergency procedures can be validated.
DISASTER RECOVERY FACILITIES
PMSC is contracted with a major disaster recovery service for the availability
of facilities for the immediate recovery of data processing capability.
Contract provisions provide for immediate occupancy in a hotsite facility and
long-term occupancy, as needed, in a coldsite facility.
SCHEDULE F - CUSTOMER-OWNED SOFTWARE
Customer developed and owned Software that Customer shall provide to PMSC with
any reasonable instructions necessary for processing of same. Customer shall
retain a list of all Customer-Owned Software and shall make it available to
PMSC upon reasonable request. Customer is responsible for Customer-Owned
Software infringement to the same extent as CYBERTEK is responsible for its
Software licensed under the Enterprise License Agreement. Customer-Owned
Software does not include any PMSC Information and Customer-Owned Software
must have been developed independent of any PMSC Information.

The Systems listed in Exhibit B (including the Previously Licensed
Systems) hereto are the computer software products licensed pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.

or other right in the Systems or any modifications of the Systems.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the Systems or related materials
may be assigned, sublicensed, or otherwise transferred by Customer,

CYBERTEK.
5. POSSESSION AND USE:
5.1 Customer acknowledges that the Systems contain unique, confidential
and secret information and are trade secrets and confidential
proprietary products of CYBERTEK or PMSC. CYBERTEK acknowledges that
every component of the Systems may not be a trade secret,
however, Customer acknowledges that such is not a requirement for
the System as a whole to be treated as a trade secret and
confidential proprietary product. Customer shall not allow any
person or entity to transmit or reproduce the Systems in whole or
in part in any manner except as permitted in this Agreement.
Customer shall not disclose or otherwise make the Systems available
to any person or entity other than employees of Customer and
employees of an Authorized Company required to have such knowledge
for normal use of the Systems. Customer agrees to obligate each such
employee and each Authorized Company to take all steps reasonably
calculated to protect the Systems from unauthorized use or
disclosure. These obligations are independent covenants and shall
continue after the Agreement is terminated.
Information regarding the Systems which Customer shall protect under
the above paragraph shall not include any information or
documentation which Customer can demonstrate: (i) was in the public
domain on or prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) was in the
possession of Customer on or prior to the date of this Agreement
and was not acquired or obtained from PMSC or CYBERTEK, (iii) became
part of the public domain, by publication or otherwise, not due to
any unauthorized act or omission on the part of Customer, (iv) is

the Systems, including monitoring and verifying input and output
data, back-up of input and output data, providing data for any files
or tables of the Systems, and for maintaining the required Systems
operating environment.
5.3 Customer may modify the Systems or merge the Systems with other
computer programs however any modified or merged version of the
Systems shall remain subject to the LICENSE AND TITLE, POSSESSION
AND USE and TERMINATION provisions of this Agreement. When
modifications are made, upon discontinuance or termination of
rights granted under this Agreement, the Systems shall be completely
removed from the updated work, and all of the Systems, copies
thereof (in whole or in part), and related materials shall be
returned to
CYBERTEK or disposed of in accordance with written instructions
from CYBERTEK and subject to the provisions of this Agreement
as to the protection of CYBERTEK's trade secrets and confidential
information.
5.4 Customer and Authorized Companies may not reverse engineer, reverse
assemble or reverse compile any System or part thereof.
5.5 The Systems and all materials related thereto shall not be printed
or copied in whole or in part without prior written permission of
CYBERTEK, provided, however, that Customer may make additional
copies of the Systems for testing and backup purposes restricted
to Customer's own internal use at the Authorized Location. Customer
is entitled to use mainframe or host versions of said Systems
solely at the Authorized Location to process data for its own use
and for the Authorized Companies. Object code copies of
microcomputer/workstation versions of the Systems may be used by
employees of Customer or an Authorized Company at Unsupported
Authorized Locations and Customer agrees to keep a list of all such
offices and to provide same to CYBERTEK upon request. Customer
shall use reasonable care to maintain all Systems and related
materials in a secure location. Customer agrees that the original
and all copies of the Systems shall remain the sole property of
CYBERTEK or PMSC. Customer expressly agrees to include CYBERTEK's
or PMSC's copyright notice and proprietary notice on all copies,
in whole or in part, in any form, including machine language, made
by Customer in accordance with this Agreement.
6. DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION:
6.1 CYBERTEK shall deliver to Customer one copy of the most current
edition of each of the Systems licensed hereunder available for
distribution to licensees on or before the effective date of this
Agreement, provide however that CYBERTEK shall not be obligated to
deliver Previously Licensed Systems. Installation of the Systems
shall be Customer's responsibility, however, contemporaneously
herewith PMSC is agreeing to provide certain installation services
under a separate agreement. Initial delivery of the Systems shall
constitute fulfillment of CYBERTEK's obligation under
this paragraph. Additional copies of documentation may be licensed
at CYBERTEK's then current price.
7. MESA:
7.1 CYBERTEK shall provide MESA to Customer at the Authorized Location
for one copy of each of the Systems during the MESA Term subject to
the conditions set forth below.
7.2 Maintenance is performed at CYBERTEK's cost and is available only
for the most current Maintenance Release of the Systems and the
immediately preceding Maintenance Release of the Systems for those
parts of the Systems which have not been affected by any
modification or merger with computer programs other than Systems.
7.3 If, during the MESA Term, Customer encounters a suspected
Nonconformity in the usage of a System, Customer shall notify
CYBERTEK in writing, utilizing a System Problem Report (SPR) form
furnished by CYBERTEK. CYBERTEK shall then diagnose said
Nonconformity. Customer agrees to assist CYBERTEK in diagnosing
the Nonconformity either by telephone, correspondence, or in
person. If it is determined that a Nonconformity exists in the
System and it is not a Customer-created error, CYBERTEK, without
charge, shall make such changes as are required to correct the
Nonconformity, using the Current Base System and CYBERTEK test
data, and shall use its best reasonable efforts to furnish the
Nonconformity fix to Customer in the next regular Maintenance
Release. Upon Customer's request, CYBERTEK will use its best
reasonable efforts to furnish said changes to Customer as a Program
Temporary Fix (PTF) prior to the next Maintenance Release.
If the problem is determined to be a Customer-created error,
Customer shall pay CYBERTEK for the services rendered in analyzing
the problem. Customer may request the services of CYBERTEK to
correct such problem, and if CYBERTEK provides such services,
Customer shall pay CYBERTEK's rates then in effect for such
services.
7.4 If the Nonconformity prevents Customer's processing of an Authorized
Line of Business, CYBERTEK shall provide immediate Maintenance
services at Customer's Authorized Location. All other Maintenance
will be performed at CYBERTEK's offices and the materials and
instructions necessary to correct the Nonconformity shall be
delivered to Customer. The cost associated with installing
Maintenance delivered to Customer is Customer's responsibility.
7.5 Enhancements are developed by CYBERTEK at CYBERTEK's offices for
only the most current Maintenance Release of a System which CYBERTEK
makes generally available to licensees of the System and will be
provided to Customer. The costs associated with nonstandard shipping
of Enhancements and any installation are Customer's responsibility.
7.6 Services Availability from CYBERTEK during the MESA Term may include
the services of account representatives, field representatives,
system engineers, programmers, instructors and consultants;
classroom instruction as well as training aids; additional copies
of technical and user documentation and processing services. Unless
there is a separate written agreement for these services providing
different terms, any services beyond Maintenance and Enhancements
provided by CYBERTEK at Customer's prior written request, shall be
provided at CYBERTEK's current rates in effect for such services on
an "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY and Customer
agrees to pay all reasonable, pre-approved travel, living and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by personnel providing such
services. Except in an emergency or when otherwise not possible,
PMSC shall obtain Customer's approval in writing and in advance for
such expenses. The parties anticipate that this shall most often be
done by telefaxes to and from Customer's account executive.
8. TERM OF AGREEMENT:
8.1 The term of this Agreement shall begin upon its effective date and
shall continue for the full period of the MESA Term, unless
terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.
8.2 During the last 6 months of the MESA Term, Customer may elect to
terminate this Agreement on expiration of the MESA Term and enter
into a new agreement to extend the MESA provisions applicable to
the Systems designated in this Agreement for a fixed term beginning
upon the first day of the first month following expiration of the
MESA Term at CYBERTEK's then current and standard rates, and the
terms and conditions in effect for its new licensees as of the date
of expiration of the MESA
Term, however, Customer shall not be obligated to pay any additional
Initial License Charges for such extension.
8.3 Upon the expiration of the MESA Term without renewal, Customer may
elect to retain a continuing Right-To-Use license for use of the
then current versions of the Systems by giving written notice to
CYBERTEK. A Right-To-Use license is a right to use the Systems on
an "AS IS" basis, without warranty and without MESA, but subject
to Customer's obligations to protect CYBERTEK's and PMSC's trade
secrets and proprietary information as provided herein. In the
event Customer elects to add an Authorized Company and the System
generated reports show more than 1,000,000 policies processed on the
Systems, then notwithstanding that under the terms of this Section
Customer may not be paying any further MLC after the expiration of
the MESA Term, Customer and PMSC must enter into a mutually
acceptable Addendum to this Agreement to (i) specify the name and
other data regarding such company, (ii) provide for an additional
ILC payment equal to $.65 times each policy of such company if and
to the extent that the total of all policies of Customer and all
Authorized Companies, including the newest addition, exceeds
1,000,000 policies and (iii) provide for the resumption of MLC
payments equal to $0.018 times each policy of such company if and
to the extent that the total of all policies of Customer and all
Authorized Companies, including the newest addition, exceeds
1,000,000 policies.
8.4 CYBERTEK or Customer may terminate this Agreement under any of the
following conditions:
8.4.1 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon a material
breach by the other party of any one or more of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, provided the party in breach is
notified in writing by the other party of the breach and such
breach is not cured or a satisfactory resolution agreed upon
in writing within 30 days of such notice.
8.4.2 In the event a party makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors or files a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or petitions for reorganization or arrangement
under the bankruptcy laws, or if a petition
in bankruptcy in filed against a party, or if a receiver or
trustee is appointed for all or any part of the property and
assets of a party, the other party may terminate this
Agreement.
8.5 Customer agrees that upon termination of this Agreement, Customer
shall not use a System licensed hereunder and shall return to
CYBERTEK, within 30 days after such termination, the original and
all copies of such System. Due to the nature of the System and the
need for its protection as a trade secret and confidential
proprietary information, time is of the essence in its return, and
in the event of Customer's failure to do so within the time provided
herein, Customer agrees that CYBERTEK shall be entitled to obtain
injunctive relief to require such return and reasonable attorneys
fees and costs incurred in obtaining such injunctive relief and
liquidated damages of $5,000.00 per day until the System is
returned. If the System has been modified or merged with other
computer programs and it is impractical to separate and return the
System, Customer shall destroy the System and all copies thereof in
its modified or merged state and within 30 days of termination of
the Agreement an officer of Customer shall certify to CYBERTEK in
writing that the System and all copies thereof have been destroyed.
Timely certification of destruction shall fulfill Customer's
obligation to return the System. Failure to so certify destruction
shall constitute failure to return the System.
9. WARRANTIES:
9.1 CYBERTEK warrants that CYBERTEK has the full power and authority to
license the Systems to Customer without the consent of any other
party and agrees to defend Customer against all claims (including
reasonable attorney's fees and reasonable costs incurred in
investigating such claim) arising from the actual or alleged
infringement by the Systems of the rights of third parties, provided
that Customer notifies CYBERTEK in writing as promptly as possible,
but in any event within twenty (20) business days of the receipt by
Customer of any such claim or notice of any such claim and permits
CYBERTEK upon request, and at CYBERTEK's cost and expense, to assume
and control the defense or settlement thereof. Customer agrees to
cooperate with CYBERTEK in every reasonable manner in the defense of
such claim. In defending or settling any such claim
CYBERTEK may elect to (i) obtain the right of continued use of such
System or part thereof, which is alleged to be infringing or (ii)
replace or modify such System, or part thereof, so as to avoid such
claim of infringement and Customer will cease use of the release of
the System, or part thereof, which was replaced or modified.
CYBERTEK will not be obligated to defend or settle any claim of
infringement (i) asserted by a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of
Customer, (ii) resulting from Customer's additions to, changes in,
or modification of a System, or (iii) resulting from Customer's use
of the System in combination with non-CYBERTEK or non-PMSC Systems.
9.2 Customer acknowledges that the programs of a System may contain
Nonconformities reasonably consistent with software systems of
similar complexity. CYBERTEK warrants that it will correct, at
CYBERTEK's sole cost and expense, the computer programs of the most
current edition of a System if they fail to operate in accordance
with their manuals designated as documentation to such programs so
long as Customer is entitled to Maintenance for the System and has
provided CYBERTEK with notice of the Nonconformity. CYBERTEK will
use reasonable efforts to correct a Nonconformity within a
reasonable time period dependent upon the severity of the
Nonconformity.

the extent that such provision is inconsistent or conflicting with the
Agreement.
CYBERTEK and Customer hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1. In addition to processing its own data and the data of its Authorized
Companies, Customer is hereby licensed to use the Systems to process the
data of Customer Clients as defined below; provided, however, that such
processing shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
Customer may also distribute object code copies of personal
computer/workstation versions or components of Systems to agencies,
brokerages and Customer Clients so long as (i) such entities have an
active written contractual relationship with Customer and (ii) such
entities have entered into a standard CYBERTEK End User Agreement.
Customer acknowledges that CYBERTEK shall only provide MESA for Customer
and that Customer shall be responsible for transmitting Maintenance or
Enhancements to the above entities as Customer deems appropriate.

Customer will pay CYBERTEK usage fees based on the number of Customer
Client policies for which Customer provides data processing services
using one or more Systems. These fees are payable by Customer at the end
of each month and are calculated by multiplying the total number of
Customer Client inforce policies as of the end of the month by the
applicable usage fee(s) in the applicable range set forth below:
Number of Inforce Customer Client Policies
0 1,000,001 2,000,001 3,000,001

both data processing and full insurance administration services under a
written contract.
4. Customer will notify CYBERTEK each month of the number and names of all

periodically upon reasonable request, the following reports produced by
the Systems at each month-end for each company processed: (i) CK4/VS
Inforce Time-Driven File Control Register, (ii) Block Control Balance
Register, and (iii) the company totals for each month-to-date Exhibit of
Life Insurance or equivalent information from non-PMSC administration
systems.

independent auditors for the number of Customer Client companies and
inforce policies processed during the prior calendar year using the
licensed Systems. Such certification shall be sent to CYBERTEK no later

the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement, among
other things, contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note
upon the happening of certain stated events, and also for prepayments of this
Note, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement.
The outstanding principal of this Note shall bear interest prior to
maturity at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the Maximum Rate or (b)
the Contract Rate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest shall have begun to accrue
hereon as of December 1, 1994. All past due principal and to the extent per-
mitted by applicable law, past due interest of this Note shall bear interest at

excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein
provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note or
otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties,
guarantors, successors, or assigns of Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess
amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance
or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in
excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any
court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment
and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note; and, if
the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall
forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or
payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Maker and Payee shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and
the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal
or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
term of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the
entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas applicable to contracts made and wholly performable in Texas
and the applicable laws of the United States of America. This Note is
performable in Dallas County, Texas.
Maker and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for
payment of any sums of money payable on this Note jointly and severally waive
notice (except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement), presentment, demand
for payment, protest, notice of protest
PROMISSORY NOTE - PAGE 2

accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all
other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for
any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity,
and any impairment of any collateral securing this Note, all without prejudice
to the holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at
any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other
party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of
said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral
securing this Note, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances
whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting
the personal liability of any party hereunder.
Maker hereby authorizes the holder hereof to endorse on the Schedule
attached to this Note or any continuation thereof, or to record in its internal
records, all advances made to Maker hereunder and all payments made on account
of the principal thereof, which endorsements and recordings shall be prima facie
evidence (absent manifest error) as to the outstanding principal amount of this
Note; provided, however, any failure by the holder hereof to make any such
endorsement or recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
Maker under the Loan Agreement or this Note.

material to Borrower and the Controlled Companies taken as a whole. Since

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect except as may have been specifically
disclosed in a Directors' Package delivered to Lender or publicly in the print
and/or telecommunications media.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1. EXPENSES OF LENDER. Borrower hereby agrees to pay Lender on
demand: (i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of Lender's legal counsel, and (ii) all taxes, assessments, filing
fees, and other charges levied by any Governmental Authority or otherwise
payable in respect of this Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document or in
obtaining any audit or appraisal in respect of the Collateral, but excluding any
state or federal income tax owed by Lender or a tax based on gross or net
receipts of Lender.
Section 10.2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither Lender nor any Affiliate,
officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any
liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not
to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower in connection with,
arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to
sue Lender or any of Lender's Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection
with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.3. NO DUTY. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other
professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to
act exclusively in the interest of Lender in connection with the Loan Documents
and the transactions contemplated thereby and shall have no duty of disclosure,
duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any
FIRST AMENDED AND
RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT - Page 32
type or nature whatsoever to Borrower, any Obligated Party, or any other Person
in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 10.4. LENDER NOT FIDUCIARY. The relationship between Borrower and
Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or
other special relationship with Borrower in respect thereof. No term or
condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the
relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and
creditor.
Section 10.5. EQUITABLE RELIEF. Borrower recognizes that in the event
Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the
Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender.
Borrower therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled
to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the
necessity of proving actual damages.
Section 10.6. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure on the part of
Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power,
or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies
provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
Section 10.7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement is binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrower and their respective
successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of Lender. Lender shall notify Borrower of any assignment of Lender's rights
hereunder.
Section 10.8. SURVIVAL. All representations and warranties made in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement, or
certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no
investigation by Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and
warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the
survival of any other obligation of Borrower hereunder, the obligations of
Borrower under Section 10.1 shall survive repayment of the Note.
Section 10.9. AMENDMENT. The provisions of this Agreement, the Note, and
any other document executed in connection with the Loan may be amended or waived
only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
Section 10.10. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. No provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in
such respect is hereby provided for, or
FIRST AMENDED AND
RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT - Page 33
shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in
connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall
govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors,
successors, or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount
of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or
detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event Lender ever receives,
collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in
excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a
payment and reduction of the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note; and, if the principal of the Note has been paid in full, any remaining
excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the
interest paid or payable exceeds the maximum amount permitted by applicable law,
Borrower and Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note so that interest for the entire term of such
Note does not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
Section 10.11. NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided
for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party
shall be given or made by telecopy or in writing and telecopied, mailed by
certified mail return receipt requested, or delivered to the intended recipient
at the "Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages
hereof; or, as to any party at such other address as shall be designated by such
party in a notice to the other party given in accordance with this Section.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall be
deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy, subject to
telephone confirmation of receipt, or when personally delivered or, in the case
of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid;
PROVIDED, however, notices to Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be
effective until received by Lender.
Section 10.12. APPLICABLE LAW; VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas applicable to contracts made and wholly performable in the State
of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America. Any action or
proceeding against Borrower under or in connection with any of the Loan
Documents may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas.
Borrower hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such
courts, and (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the
venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any
such court is an inconvenient forum. Borrower agrees that service of process
upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.11. Nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect
the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or
shall limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against
Borrower or with respect to any of his Property in courts in other
jurisdictions. Any action or proceeding by Borrower against Lender shall be
brought only in a court located in Dallas County, Texas.
FIRST AMENDED AND
RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT - Page 34
Section 10.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.14. SEVERABILITY. If any clause or provision of this Agreement
is or should ever be held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any
present or future law applicable to the terms hereof, then and in such event, it
is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Agreement
shall not be affected thereby, and that in lieu of each such clause or provision
of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, there be added as
a part of this Agreement a clause or provision as similar in terms to such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be
legal, valid, and enforceable.
Section 10.15. HEADINGS. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in
this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation
of this Agreement.

Payment Agreement.
Section 10.17. CONSTRUCTION. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that each of
them has had the benefit of legal counsel of his or its own choice and has been
afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with his or its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender.
Section 10.18. LENDER NOT IN CONTROL. None of the covenants or other
provisions of this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to give, Lender the right
or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of Borrower or
any Controlled Company, the power of Lender being limited to the right to
exercise the rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender and Borrower are not
partners or joint venturers with each other.
Section 10.19. ASSUMPTION OF LOAN. Borrower and CFSB have informed Lender
that Borrower and CFSB contemplate the transfer of the Capital Stock of CFSB by
Borrower to a corporation to be formed by Fail (the "New Holding Company").
Lender will consent to the transfer of the Capital Stock of CFSB to and the
assumption of the Loan by the New Holding Company subject to the following
conditions:
(a) All of the Capital Stock of New Holding Company is owned by Borrower;
(b) New Holding Company will assume all liabilities and obligations of

SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY.
(b) WHEN ANY CLAIM, ACTION, OR SUIT (COLLECTIVELY, A "CLAIM") THAT RESULTS
FROM, RELATES TO, OR ARISES OUT OF THE DEBT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION MAY BE SOUGHT HEREUNDER SHALL BE
FILED OR ASSERTED IN WRITING AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, THE INDEMNIFIED
PARTY SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY BORROWER OF THE SAME IN WRITING, SPECIFYING IN
REASONABLE DETAIL THE BASIS OF SUCH CLAIM AND THE FACTS PERTAINING THERETO.
BORROWER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO DEFEND ANY SUCH CLAIM OR INDEMNIFY ANY
INDEMNIFIED PARTY IF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY HAS FAILED TO USE ITS COMMERCIALLY
REASONABLE EFFORTS TO NOTIFY BORROWER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO PERMIT BORROWER AND HIS COUNSEL TO DEFEND
AGAINST SUCH MATTER AND TO MAKE A TIMELY RESPONSE THERETO, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE PREPARATION AND ASSERTION OF AN ANSWER OR OTHER RESPONSIVE

COMPROMISE OR SETTLEMENT IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO ALLOW BORROWER TO ACT THEREON.

SECTION FOR ALL REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY

CAUSE NUMBER / COURT: CAUSE NO. IP94-0001-C, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA, INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION, IN.
On April 30, 1992, Mutual Security Life Insurance Company ("MSL"), by its
Liquidator, filed suit against Fail defendants (James M. Fail, Townsend,
Carneal, Smith, Casper, Schock, Lifeshares Group, Inc., LSC-Marketing, Inc. and
Lifeshares Services Company) alleging breach of fiduciary duties of loyalty and
due care to MSL, its policy holders, its shareholders and its creditors by
allowing transactions with affiliated companies owned and controlled by Fail
which were not reasonable to MSL, by failing to invest MSL's funds in a prudent
manner, by causing MSL to invest in unreasonably risky and speculative ventures,
by failing to require adequate diversification of MSL's investments, by failing
to formulate or enforce policies to insure that MSL complied with all applicable
laws, by failing to hire, retain and supervise adequate management to operate
MSL, and by failing to formulate or implement adequate management plans to
assure the liquidity and solvency of MSL.
On or about December 3, 1993 plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which
added defendants Emily S. Fail, Janice T. Townsend, Mary Carneal, Kathryn F.
Smith, Michael S. Lang, Rhonda S. Lang, Beta Financial Corporation, Robert T.
Shaw, Consolidated National Corporation ("CNC"), I.C.H. Corporation ("ICH"),
Bankers Life and Casualty Company ("Bankers"), Marquette National Life Insurance
Company ("Marquette"), Robert L. Beisenherz, Marilyn Beisenherz, Theodore L.
Kessner, and Crosby, Guenzel, Davis, Kessner & Kuester. The Amended Complaint,
in part, alleged that Defendants Fail, Shaw, CNC, ICH, Bankers and Marquette
have, through a pattern of racketeering activity and by conspiracy acquired an
interest in and/or control of Bluebonnet and that the acquisition of Bluebonnet
was accomplished through various unlawful acts. Plaintiff further alleges that
Fail, Carneal, Lang, Lang Associates, Inc., Beta Financial, Shaw, Bisenherz and
Kessner (and his law firm) agreed and conspired to participate in or conduct the
joint venture to acquire Bluebonnet through this pattern of racketeering
activity. Defendants have filed answers denying any and all liability. On
January 3, 1994, counsel for Bankers and ICH removed the action to the United
States District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. The
receiver has filed Motions to Remand which were denied.
Motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment have been filed by many of
the defendants, including Mr. Fail and Mr. Carneal relating to RICO, conspiracy
and joint venture claims. All of the "Fail Group" and the "Lender Group" have
moved for protective orders precluding discovery until the court rules on the
aforementioned dispositive motions.

CAUSE NUMBER / COURT: CAUSE N0. 49C01-9010-MI-3578B, MARION CIRCUIT COURT,
MARION COUNTY INDIANA (INDIANAPOLIS).
On April 30, 1992, Mutual Security Life Insurance Company ("MSL"), by its
Liquidator, filed suit against former officers and directors of MSL, alleging
breach of state law fiduciary duties owed to MSL when the MSL Pension Plan ("MSL
Plan") was restated as the Lifeshares Group, Inc. Pension Plan ("The Plan").
All parties agreed to a preliminary injunction that prevented distribution from
The Plan to eligible beneficiaries. The plaintiff argues that the breach of
fiduciary duties by the defendants wasted excess MSL Plan assets that should
have inured to the benefit of MSL. The former officers and directors of MSL
have responded that their ERISA fiduciary obligations were to plan participants,
rather than MSL, and that the restatement to designate Lifeshares Group Inc. as
the plan sponsor and to cover employees of Lifeshares (including the former
employees of MSL) was entirely consistent with the provisions of ERISA. The
"Fail Group" has filed an Emergency Motion to Vacate Agreed Order of Preliminary
Injunction to allow all eligible beneficiaries to receive distributions under
The Plan. The case was removed to federal court and was remanded back to state
court on 10/14/94.
4. BLUEBONNET SAVINGS BANK FSB, CFSB CORPORATION, AND JAMES M. FAIL V. FEDERAL
DEPOSIT BANK INSURANCE CORPORATION (REFERRED TO COMMONLY AS, THE "FDIC
LITIGATION").
CAUSE NUMBER / COURT: CAUSE NO. CA3-C-1066-T, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, DALLAS DIVISION, TX.
On June 5, 1991, Plaintiffs filed suit against the FDIC claiming breach of
contract based upon the Assistance Agreement and certain other integrated
agreements entered into in 1988 pursuant to which FSLIC agreed to provide
financial assistance to Bluebonnet in connection with Bluebonnet's acquisition
of certain assets and liabilities of fifteen insolvent savings and loan
associations (the "Acquisition").
On May 24, 1993, the FDIC filed a Counterclaim seeking rescission of the
Assistance Agreement and the related agreements (including the Acquisition
Agreement) entered into with the FSLIC as part of the Acquisition. Such claim
for recision, if successful, could result in the loss of Fail and CFSB's
ownership interest in Bluebonnet. Basically, the FDIC alleges that Mr. Fail,
the sole shareholder of CFSB, made false statements and failed to disclose
information to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the FSLIC in connection with
the Acquisition, thus constituting fraud in the inducement. Bluebonnet, CFSB
and Mr. Fail have filed Motions to Dismiss the Counterclaim. No rulings have
been made on these motions to date. There are numerous motions for summary
judgment currently pending. The trial on the remaining issues is currently
scheduled for May 1, 1995. On December 20, 1994 the Court issued a preliminary
injunction against the FDIC preventing them from exercising any rights they may
have to the FSLIC warrants. See the attached order for more detailed
information.
Note: The outcome of the FDIC litigation could, if decided unfavorably,
substantially affect all the representations and warranties contained in the
Agreement to which this Schedule is attached.

NATIONAL CORPORATION, SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION, MARQUETTE NATIONAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, AND FARM AND HOME LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, DEFENDANT.
CAUSE NO. IP 94-1934-C. UNITED STATE DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
INDIANA, INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION.
The above styled Complaint was filed on November 23, 1994 along with a Motion
For Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). The MSL
Liquidator sought in the Complaint to make CFSB Corporation a constructive
trustee for the benefit of MSL of the Bluebonnet common and preferred stock to
the extent of any income paid by the Bluebonnet stock and to the extent any
profit on such stock, such trust to be proportional to the amount of funds
diverted from MSL bore in relation to the total purchase price of Bluebonnet.
The basis for the constructive trust is that Fail caused MSL to lend $35 million
dollars to Bluebonnet, causing a liquidity crisis. On December 13, 1994, the
court issued an order denying the TRO.

RIGHTS OF LENDER AND PLEDGOR
Section 5.1. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead and in the name of Pledgor or in its
own name, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and provided that the Secured Obligations are due and payable in full (whether
by acceleration, at stated maturity or otherwise), to take any and all action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, hereby gives Lender the power and right on behalf
of Pledgor and in its own name to do any of the following (subject to the rights
of Pledgor under Section 5.2 hereof), without notice to or the consent of
Pledgor
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATE
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 7
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
provided that the Secured Obligations are due and payable in full (whether by
acceleration, at stated maturity, or otherwise):
(i) to demand, sue for, collect, or receive in the name of Pledgor
or in its own name, any money or property at any time payable or receivable
on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral and, in connection
therewith, endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, or any
other instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral;
(ii) to pay or discharge any and all taxes and Liens levied or
placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(iii) (A) to direct account debtors and any other parties liable for
any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all
monies due and to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender
shall direct, such amounts to be applied by Lender as provided in the
Collection and Payment Agreement; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for
any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any
time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and
endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications,
notices, and other documents relating to the Collateral to the extent that
doing so would not contravene any Thrift Laws; (D) to commence and
prosecute any suit, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court
of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and
to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any
suit, action, or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any
Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise, or adjust any suit, action, or
proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such
discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; (G) to exchange any
of the Collateral for other Property upon any merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization, or other readjustment of the issuer
thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Collateral with
any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar, or other designated
agency upon such terms as Lender may determine; (H) to do, at Lender's
option and Pledgor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts
and things which Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve, or realize
upon the Collateral and Lender's Lien therein, and (I) to complete, execute
and file with the SEC one or more notices of proposed sale of securities
pursuant to Rule 144.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable. Lender shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise
of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or implicitly
granted to Lender in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to
do so or any delay in doing so. Lender shall not be liable for any act or
omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its
individual capacity or in its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or
omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power
of attorney is conferred on Lender solely to protect, preserve, and realize upon
its collateral assignment, common law pledge and security interest in the
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 8
Collateral. Lender shall not be responsible for any decline in the value of
the Collateral and shall not be obligated to take any steps to preserve rights
against prior parties.
Section 5.2. VOTING RIGHTS. Unless and until an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and Lender shall have acquired, sold, or
otherwise conveyed the Collateral through foreclosure following the receipt of
all necessary approvals therefor under the Thrift Laws, Pledgor shall be
entitled to exercise any and all voting rights pertaining to the Collateral or
any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Debt
Documents. Lender shall execute and deliver to the Pledgor all such proxies and
other instruments as Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling
Pledgor to exercise the voting rights which he is entitled to exercise pursuant
to this Section.
Section 5.3. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. Pledgor shall cause CFSB to pay or
make all cash dividends and all cash distributions constituting the Collateral
to the Collateral Account for application by Lender to the Secured Obligations
pursuant to each Loan Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the
Collection and Payment Agreement. Pledgor shall not be entitled to receive or
retain any dividend or distribution constituting Collateral, except those
disbursed by Lender to or for the benefit of Pledgor pursuant to the Collection
and Payment Agreement until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed
in full. In the event that Pledgor receives any dividend or distribution
constituting Collateral in violation of this Section 5.3, Pledgor shall promptly
deliver such dividend or distribution to Lender in the exact form received with
any necessary endorsements.
Section 5.4. PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. If Pledgor fails to perform or comply
with any of his agreements contained herein, Lender itself may, at its sole
discretion, cause or attempt to cause performance or compliance with such
agreement and the expenses of Lender, together with interest thereon at the
Contract Rate (which interest shall begin to accrue ten (10) days after Lender
makes demand for payment of such expenses), shall be payable by Pledgor to
Lender on demand and shall constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations
secured by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly
agreed that Lender shall not be required to perform any obligation of Pledgor
under this Agreement.
Section 5.5. LENDER'S DUTY OF CARE. Other than the exercise of reasonable
care in the physical custody of the Collateral while held by Lender hereunder,
Lender shall have no responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to
all or any part of the Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or
relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or duty to
collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, it being
understood and agreed that Pledgor shall be responsible for preservation of all
rights in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Lender shall be conclusively deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody of the Collateral if Lender takes such action, for purposes of
preserving rights in the Collateral, as Pledgor may reasonably request in
writing, but no failure or omission or delay by Lender in complying with any
such request by Pledgor, and no refusal by Lender to comply with any such
request by Pledgor, shall be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care.
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 9
Section 5.6. ASSIGNMENT. Lender may at any time and from time to time
assign the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof held by it and its
interest in the Collateral to the assignee of the Secured Obligations, and the

DEFAULT
Section 6.1. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, and the Secured Obligations are due and payable in full whether
by acceleration or otherwise, Lender shall have the following rights and
remedies:
(i) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Lender
in this Agreement and in any other Debt Document, Lender shall have all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Lender may (A) without demand or notice to
Pledgor, collect, receive, or take possession of the Collateral or any part
thereof, and/or (B) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery.
Lender may bid and become a purchaser at any sale free of any right or
equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity of redemption is
hereby expressly waived and released by Pledgor. Upon the request of
Lender, Pledgor shall assemble the Collateral in his possession or control
and make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender that is
reasonably convenient to Pledgor and Lender. Pledgor agrees that Lender
shall not be obligated to give more than twenty (20) days written notice of
the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute
reasonable notice of such matters. Lender shall not be obligated to make
any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Pledgor shall be liable for all expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for sale, or the like, and all attorneys' fees and other expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Secured
Obligations and the enforcement of Lender's rights under this Agreement,
all of which expenses and fees shall constitute additional Secured
Obligations. Subject to the terms of the Collection and Payment Agreement,
Lender may apply proceeds of the Collateral against the Secured Obligations
in such order and manner as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency in respect of the Secured
Obligations if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay such Obligations. Pledgor waives all rights of
marshalling and appraisal in respect of the Collateral.
(ii) Lender may collect or receive all money or Property at any
time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the
Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so.
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
PLEDGE AGREEMENT - Page 10
(iii) Pledgor hereby acknowledges and confirms that Lender may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and applicable state securities laws and may be compelled to resort to one
or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will
be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire any shares of the
Collateral for their own respective accounts for investment and not with a
view to distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor further acknowledges and
confirms that any such private sale may result in prices or other terms
less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall
not in and of itself be deemed to have been made in a manner that is not
commercially reasonable, and Lender shall be under no obligation to take
any steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at a public sale.
Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Collateral for any period of time necessary to permit any issuer thereof to
register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or under applicable state securities laws.
Pledgor will cooperate and will cause his Subsidiaries to cooperate with
proposed purchasers of the Collateral in connection with their requests and
applications to obtain any required regulatory approvals under the Thrift
Laws.
(iv) On any sale of the Collateral, Lender is hereby authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is
necessary, in the view of Lender's counsel, in order to avoid any violation
of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the
purchaser or purchasers by any applicable governmental authority.
Section 6.2. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. The proceeds of any sale of
Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, as well as any Collateral consisting
of cash, shall be applied by Lender to the Secured Obligations in accordance
with the terms of the Collection and Payment Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1. EXPENSES. Pledgor agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection
with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of the rights and
remedies hereunder.
Section 7.2. NO WAIVER: CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure on the part of
Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power,
or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and
remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights and remedies provided by law.

submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (ii) waives any
objection he may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or
proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.
Pledgor agrees that service of process upon him may be made by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, at his address specified or
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Debt Document shall affect the right of
any secured party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Pledgor or

pursuant to which CFLIC made a loan to Borrower in the original principal amount
of $46,266,675.00 (the "CFLIC Loan").
D. Pursuant to the CFLIC Loan Agreement, Guarantor executed and delivered
to CFLIC that certain Guaranty Agreement dated as of January 25, 1993, pursuant
to which Guarantor guaranteed to CFLIC the full and complete payment and

Loan Agreement and the Prior SWL Loan Agreement has been amended and restated in

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT - Page 1
G. Lender has conditioned its obligations under the Loan Agreement upon
the execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Agreement and Guarantor and
Lender now desire to consolidate the Existing CFLIC Guaranty with and into the
Existing SWL Guaranty and to make certain amendments to the Existing SWL
Guaranty as herein set forth.
H. The parties hereto now desire to amend the Existing SWL Guaranty as
hereinafter provided and have agreed, for purposes of clarity and ease of
administration, to carry out the agreed upon amendments by amending the
pertinent provisions of the Existing SWL Guaranty and then restating the
Existing SWL Guaranty in its entirety by means of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor and Lender hereby consolidate the
Existing CFLIC Guaranty with and into the Existing SWL Guaranty, amend and
restate the Existing SWL Guaranty (as consolidated) and agree as follows:
Guarantor, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which
are hereby acknowledged, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to
Lender the full and prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness (hereinafter defined), this Guaranty Agreement being upon the
following terms:
1. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
2. The term "Guaranteed Indebtedness", as used herein means all of the
"Obligations", including but not limited to (i) the indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith executed
by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in the original principal amount
of Forty Million Three Hundred Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty-Four and
No/100 Dollars ($40,318,754.00), and (ii) the liabilities, obligations, and
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Security
Agreement and any and all other instruments or documents executed by Borrower in
connection with the Loan. The term "Guaranteed Indebtedness" shall include any
and all post-petition interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) included as part of the Obligations whether or not allowed under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law.
3. This instrument shall be an absolute, continuing, irrevocable, and
unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of
collection, and Guarantor shall remain liable on his obligations hereunder until
the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Indebtedness. No set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any
defense of any kind or nature which Borrower may have against Lender or any
other party, or which Guarantor may have against Borrower, Lender, or any other
party, shall be available to, or shall be asserted by, Guarantor against Lender
or any subsequent holder of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any part thereof or
against payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any part thereof.
4. If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to
Lender by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty Agreement,
such liability shall not
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT - Page 2
be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Lender hereunder
shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have
against Guarantor. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or
under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the
concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
5. In the event of default by Borrower in payment or performance of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness, when such Guaranteed Indebtedness becomes due, whether
by its terms, by acceleration, or otherwise. Guarantor shall promptly pay as
specified in Section 9 hereof the amount due thereon to Lender without notice or
demand in lawful money of the United States of America and it shall not be
necessary for Lender, in order to enforce such payment by Guarantor, first to
institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on such
Guaranteed Indebtedness, or to enforce any rights against any collateral other
than the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) which shall ever have
been given to secure such Guaranteed Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Guaranty Agreement, Guarantor hereby irrevocably
waives any and all rights he may now or hereafter have under any agreement or at
law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the
Guarantor to the rights of Lender) to assert any claim against or seek
contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower
or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this
Guaranty Agreement or otherwise, until the Guaranteed Indebtedness is fully
satisfied.
6. Subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, Guarantor hereby agrees
that his obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall not be released,
discharged, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected for any reason or by the
occurrence of any event, including, without limitation, one or more of the
following events, whether or not with notice to or the consent of Guarantor: (a)
the taking or accepting of collateral as security for any or all of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness or the release, surrender, exchange, or subordination of
any collateral now or hereafter securing any or all of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness; (b) any partial release of the liability of Guarantor hereunder
(except to the extent specified in any such written release), or the full or
partial release of any other guarantor or obligor from liability for any or all
of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (c) any disability of Borrower, or the
dissolution, insolvency, or bankruptcy of Borrower, Guarantor, or any other
party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed

obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with
its terms, except as limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of
creditors' rights, and (b) the application of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law
or in equity).

Guaranty Agreement do not and will not violate or conflict with any law,
rule, or regulation or any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any

waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power,
or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the

successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the
extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such
indebtedness. This Guaranty Agreement is binding not only on Guarantor, but on
Guarantor's heirs and personal representatives.
13. Guarantor recognizes that Lender is relying upon this Guaranty
Agreement and the undertakings of Guarantor hereunder in making extensions of
credit to Borrower under the Loan Agreement and further recognizes that the
execution and delivery of this Guaranty Agreement is a material inducement to
Lender in entering into the Loan Agreement. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that
there are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty Agreement.

lending transaction performable in Dallas County, Texas and shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to
contracts made and wholly performable in the State of Texas. Any action or
proceeding against Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement
may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. Guarantor
hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts,
and (ii) waives any objection he may now or hereafter have as to the venue of
any such action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an
inconvenient forum. Guarantor agrees that service of process upon him may be
made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at his address
specified below. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve
process in any other matter permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender
to bring any action or proceeding against Guarantor or with respect to any of
Guarantor's Property in courts in other jurisdictions. Any action or proceeding
by Guarantor against Lender shall be brought only in a court located in Dallas
County, Texas.
15. Guarantor shall pay as specified in Section 9 hereof all reasonable

herein by reference, the same as if stated verbatim herein, and Guarantor agrees
that Lender may exercise any and all rights granted to it under the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty Agreement.
18. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Lender that Guarantor has
adequate means to obtain from Borrower on a continuing basis information
concerning the financial condition and assets of Borrower and that Guarantor is
not relying upon Lender to provide (and Lender shall have no duty to provide)
any such information to Guarantor either now or in the future.

business and goodwill of the Company. Accordingly, the Executive
covenants and agrees that:
(a) During the Term, and for a period of two (2) years following
the date that the Executive shall cease to be an employee of
the Company (the "Restricted Period"), the Executive shall

required to be disclosed by the Executive pursuant to any
law or regulation. In the event that the Executive shall be
required to disclose Confidential Company Information
pursuant to any such law or regulation, the Executive shall

Company are in addition to and without limitation of those
rights and remedies available under common law for
protection of the types of such confidential information
which constitute "trade secrets" as construed under
controlling law.

without the Company's prior written consent, directly and

the Company and its affiliates, any employee of the Company
or any of its affiliates.

Company's express prior written consent, directly and

with the provisions of this Section 6.1 and shall be
delivered to the Company following termination of the Term
at any time on request.
6.2 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH. If the Executive breaches, or
threatens to breach, any of the provisions of Section 6.1 (the
"Restrictive Covenants"), the Company shall have without
limitation the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants

cause to be made, any statements, observations or opinions, or
communicate any information (whether oral or written) that

on the other hand.

Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall

directors or trustee of any employee benefit plan within the
Company, its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates.

7.1 NO VIOLATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. The Executive hereby represents
and warrants to the Company that neither his entering into this

hereunder shall constitute a breach or other violation of any
agreement or understanding between the Executive and any other
person, firm, corporation or other entity, including, without
limitation, any former employer of the Executive.

has had an opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection
with this Agreement, (ii) the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable
in all respects, and (iii) the Company would not have entered into
this Agreement but for the Restrictive Covenants contained herein.

including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenants are
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this
Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
7.3 SEVERABILITY AND REFORMATION. If any court determines that any of
the covenants contained in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Restrictive Covenants, is unenforceable because of
the duration or geographical scope of such provision, the duration
or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be reduced
so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced
form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be
enforced.

CONSOLIDATED TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
THIS CONSOLIDATED TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made and
entered into by and among I.C.H. CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("ICH"),
MODERN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Missouri corporation ("Modern"), in
its own right and as corporate successor to I.C.H. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a
Missouri corporation ("ICH Life") as the result of a statutory merger
("Merger") effected on December 26, 1985, and the undersigned direct and
indirect life insurance company subsidiaries ("Subsidiaries") of Modern
(Modern and the Subsidiaries hereinafter sometimes being referred to
individually as "Participant" and collectively as "Participants").
W-I-T-N-E-S-S-E-T-H:
WHEREAS, from October 30, 1984 to September 26, 1985, ICH owned 100% of
the capital stock of ICH Life, which owned, directly or indirectly through
one or more Subsidiaries, 80% or more of the capital stock of Modern and of
each of the Subsidiaries; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, ICH owns 100% of the capital stock
of Modern, which owns, directly or indirectly through one or more
Subsidiaries, 80% or more of the capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries;
and
WHEREAS, as a result of such ownership, each Participant is a member of
the same Affiliated Group (herein so-called) within the meaning of the
Internal Revenue Code and the consolidated return regulations thereunder; and
WHEREAS, Participants determined for the tax year ended December 31,
1984 and subsequent tax years to file consolidated federal income tax returns
and desire to enter into a written agreement specifying how the consolidated
federal income tax liability of the Affiliated Group is to be allocated among
them. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises of the parties hereto, they hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Participants acknowledge that they filed a consolidated federal
income tax return for 1984 and agree to file consolidated federal income tax
returns for the tax year ended December 31, 1985 and subsequent tax years.
2. Each Participant's share of the consolidated federal income tax
liability of the Affiliated Group for the tax year ended December 31, 1984
and for each subsequent tax year hereunder (sometimes referred to as
"Consolidation Period") shall be computed as follows:
a.) First, the Affiliated Group's tax liability shall be allocated
among the Participants in the Affiliated Group in accordance with the
ratio which that portion of the consolidated taxable income attributable
to each Participant in the Affiliated Group having taxable income bears
to the consolidated taxable income of the Affiliated Group.
b.) Second, an additional amount shall be allocated to each
Participant equal to 100% of the excess, if any, of (i) the separate
return tax liability of such Participant for the taxable year (computed
in the same manner as for the separate return liability allocation
method) over (ii) the Affiliated Group tax liability allocated to the
Participant under subparagraph (a) above.
c.) Third, any additional amounts allocated pursuant to
subparagraph (b) above (including amounts allocated as a result of
carrybacks) shall be credited to the earnings and profits of those
Participants which had income, deductions or credits to which such total
additionally allocated amounts are attributable. Such credits shall be
made by consistent method which fairly reflects such items of income,
deductions or credits and which is substantiated by specific records
maintained by the Affiliated Group for such purpose.
3. In the event of any adjustments of the consolidated federal income
tax liability of the Affiliated Group by reason of the filing of an amended
return or claim for refund or arising out of an audit by the Internal Revenue
Service, the allocations pursuant to Paragraph 2 above shall be redetermined
after giving effect to such adjustments.
4. Written reports shall be prepared by Modern on behalf of the
Affiliated Group reflecting the allocations made pursuant to Paragraph 2
above (hereinafter called "Tax Allocation Report"). A Tax Allocation Report
will be prepared and distributed to each Participant within fifteen (15) days
following completion of the calculation of taxes for each calendar quarter
ended March 31st,
June 30th and September 30th and for each tax year ended December 31st.
Written reports shall also be prepared by Modern on behalf of the Affiliated
Group reflecting any adjustments to prior Tax Allocation Reports made
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 7 hereof (hereinafter called
"Tax Allocation Adjustment Reports"). Tax Allocation Adjustment Reports will
be prepared and distributed to each Participant within fifteen (15) days
following the calculation of such adjustments. All intercompany accounts
among the Participants resulting from such allocations shall be settled as
soon as practicable and, commencing as of the date hereof, shall be settled
not later than 30 days after the completion and distribution of the Tax
Allocation Report for such period or the Tax Allocation Adjustment Report.
However, where the Internal Revenue Service owes a refund to the Affiliated
Group, settlements may be deferred until not later than 30 days after receipt
of such refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participants may effect a
preliminary settlement of accounts to the extent necessary to pay quarterly
estimated consolidated federal income taxes calculated in accordance with
Section 6655(d)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. All settlements shall be
made when directed by Modern and shall be in cash or securities qualifying as
admitted assets to the respective Participants, valued at current market
value on the date of transfer.
5. Allocations made in accordance with Paragraph 2 above shall be
treated as allocations of the Affiliated Group's federal income tax liability
even though the sum of the amounts so allocated may exceed the Affiliated
Group's consolidated federal income tax liability for the year. To the extent
that any allocations exceed the actual federal income tax liability
allocated, such excess allocations shall be reflected in the Participants
earnings and profits as tax compensating payments and not as dividends or
capital contributions.
6. Any election to utilize a financial or tax method of accounting,
procedure, etc. which does not require consistent treatment by all of the
Participants in the Affiliated Group may be made by any Participant in
concert with Modern. Where the accounting methods, procedures, etc. require
consistent treatment by all Participants, Modern, with the unanimous consent
all of the other Participants, shall determine such method or treatment.
7. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, within sixty (60) days
after filing a consolidated federal income tax return or any amendment
thereto, an additional review and adjustment shall be made to ensure that (i)
the allocations made pursuant to Paragraphs 2 (a) and (b) above for any
Participant is not greater or less than the amount of the federal income tax
liability such Participant would have incurred if it had filed separate
federal
income tax returns for all years of the Consolidation Period, and (ii)
that the allocations made pursuant to Paragraph 2(c) above for any Participant
is not less or greater than the federal income tax refunds such Participant
would have been entitled to receive if it had filed separate federal income
tax returns for all years of the Consolidation Period.
8. ICH agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless any Participant to the
extent, if any, that: (i) the allocations to such Participant under Paragraph
2 above exceeds the federal income tax liability such Participant would have
incurred or is less than the federal income tax refunds such Participant
would have been entitled to receive if such Participant had filed separate
federal income tax returns for all years of the Consolidation Period; and
(ii) any Participant is required, pursuant to Regulation 1.1502-6 under the
Internal Revenue Code, to pay additional federal income taxes resulting
from another Participant's inability to pay its allocated liability under
this Agreement, in which event ICH shall be subrogated to the rights of all
other Participants against the defaulting Participant with respect to such
taxes.
9. This Agreement shall continue in effect as to any given Participant
until such time as such Participant ceases to be a member of the Affiliated
Group ("Terminated Participant"); provided, however, that this Agreement
shall continue in effect as to the Terminated Participant with respect to any
period of time during the taxable year in which such transaction occurs for
which income of the Terminated Participant must be included in the
consolidated federal income tax return of the Affiliated Group.
10. Life insurance companies which subsequently become members of the
Affiliated Group shall, simultaneously with such affiliation, become
Participants hereunder upon their written ratification of this Agreement,
which writing shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof.
11. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 10 above, this
Agreement shall continue in effect as to all Participants who are then
members of the Affiliated Group until such time as this Agreement is
terminated in writing signed by all of the then Participants or until such
time as the Participants are no longer eligible to file a consolidated
federal income tax return, whichever occurs first.
12. All completed schedules, work papers and supporting documents,
including, without limitation, applicable tax returns, relating to the
allocations made pursuant to this Agreement will be furnished to any
Participant upon request.
13. Any dispute between or among any of the parties hereto concerning
the implementation of this Agreement which cannot be amicably resolved shall
be referred to arbitration in accordance with the then existing rules of the
American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration instituted pursuant to this
paragraph will be conducted at the home office of Modern, and the laws of the
State of Modern's domicile shall govern the interpretation and application of
this Agreement.
14. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties
hereto and supersedes any prior agreement, understanding or promise, whether
written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof; may not be
assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of all of the
then parties hereto; and may not be modified or amended except in writing
signed by all of the then parties hereto.
EXECUTED this 28th day of March, 1986.

EXHIBIT 10.44
EX-10.44
FORM OF
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE BENEFIT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the ___ day of ______, 1995,
by and between SOUTHWESTERN LIFE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("SLC"),
SLC's wholly owned subsidiary, FACILITIES MANAGEMENT INSTALLATION, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("FMI") and the EXECUTIVE named on the signature page
hereof.
Introductory Provisions
The following provisions are true and correct and are part of and form the
basis for this Agreement:
A. Executive is employed by SLC or FMI as an executive officer and in
such capacity provides services to SLC, FMI and one or more of the
subsidiaries and affiliates of SLC and FMI.
B. The Board of Directors of SLC has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Companies (as hereinafter defined) to attract and retain
highly qualified individuals to serve as executive officers and to take such
actions as are reasonably necessary to allow all such executive officers to
devote their best efforts to protecting and advancing the best interests of
the Companies.
C. The Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly-held
corporations, the possibility of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined)
may arise and that such possibility, and the uncertainties and questions
which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or
distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the Companies.
D. In these circumstances, the Board believes that it is imperative that
the Companies and the Board be able to rely upon the Executive to continue in
his position, and that the Companies and the Board be able to continue to
receive and rely upon the advice of the Executive as to the best interests of
the Companies, without concern that the Executive might be distracted by the
uncertainties and risks created by such circumstances.
E. The Board has resolved that to enable and encourage the Executive to
continue to serve without undue distraction by reason of such uncertainties
and risks it wishes to assure that, if the Executive's employment with SLC or
FMI is terminated in anticipation of or following a Change of Control, the
Executive shall be provided with certain severance benefits, as more
particularly described in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
I. DEFINITIONS.
A. BENEFITS shall mean the right of the Executive to remain as a
participant in the Companies' life, health and disability plans as though the
Executive continued to be an employee of SLC or FMI through either (1) the
first day of the calendar month following the one year anniversary of the
Termination Date or (2) the first day of the calendar month following three
months of continuous employment by the Executive with a new employer which
offers life, health and disability plans, whichever is less. The Executive at
the end of the period provided in the preceding sentence shall then have such
conversion and continuation rights as provided by law, contract and/or
company policy and which are available to newly terminated employees.
B. CAUSE shall mean (i) the willful failure or refusal of the Executive
to substantially perform his duties, as such existed immediately preceding a
Change of Control, after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to
the Executive by the Board of Directors of SLC or its successor, if
applicable, (the "Board") which demand specifically identifies the manner in
which such Board believes the Executive has not substantially performed his
duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in misconduct, which
materially injures the goodwill of any of the Companies, or (iii) the
commission of an act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by the
Executive involving any of the Companies, or (iv) a conviction of, or plea of
NOLO CONTENDERE or a guilty plea or confession by, the Executive to an act of
fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement or to a felony or to conduct
prohibited by state or federal law. For purposes of this Agreement, no act,
or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered "willful"
unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and
without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best
interest of the Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall
not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a
Notice of Termination from the Board. After receipt of a Notice of
Termination which purports to be for Cause, the Executive shall have the
opportunity, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board and such
termination shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless following such hearing
at least two-thirds of the members of the Board present at such hearing are
of the good faith opinion, which shall be specified in writing and signed by
the consenting Board members, that the Executive was guilty of conduct set
forth above in any of Clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this subsection,
and such opinion shall specify the particulars thereof in detail.
C. CHANGE OF CONTROL shall mean the occurrence of any one of the
following: (i) the acquisition by any Person or group of Persons (as such
terms are defined and used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")), other than SLC, any trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of SLC, or
any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of SLC in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of SLC, of
beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or
indirectly, of shares representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the
combined voting power of SLC's then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors ("Voting Securities"); or (ii)
individuals who as of March 2, 1995, constituted SLC's Board of Directors
(the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of SLC
subsequent to March 2, 1995, whose election was approved by a vote of at
least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall,
for the purposes of this Agreement, be considered to be a member of the
Incumbent Board; or (iii) approval by the Board of Directors of SLC and, if
required, the stockholders of SLC, of: (a) a reorganization, merger, or
consolidation with respect to which those Persons (as defined above) who were
beneficial owners of SLC's Voting Securities immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, shares representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of
the Voting Securities of the corporation resulting from such reorganization,
merger or consolidation; (b) a complete liquidation or dissolution of SLC; or
(c) the sale or other disposition by SLC within a twelve (12) month period of
assets of SLC with a fair market value equal to at least one-half of the
total fair market value of all of the assets of SLC immediately prior to such
sale or sales; or (iv) SLC shall file a report or proxy statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended,
disclosing in response to Item 1 of Form 8-K thereunder or Item 5(f) of
Schedule 14A thereunder (or any successor schedule, form or report or item
therein) that a change in control of SLC has or may have occurred or will or
may occur in the future pursuant to any then existing contract or transaction
or series of transactions.
D. COMPANIES shall mean SLC, FMI and all of their direct and indirect
subsidiaries and affiliates.
E. DISABILITY shall mean a mental or physical disability or incapacity
which renders the Executive incapable of carrying out his services and
duties, as determined by the Board of Directors of SLC in its reasonable
judgment, for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days.
F. EXECUTIVE shall mean the individual named on the signature page hereof.
G. GOOD REASON shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, without
the express written consent of the Executive: (i) a material reduction by SLC
or FMI of the Executive's reporting responsibilities, duties, authority,
status, titles or offices, as the same were in effect immediately preceding a
Change of Control; (ii) a material reduction in the Executive's base
compensation, bonuses or other benefits, as the same were in effect
immediately preceding a Change of Control, or (iii) any of the Companies
require the Executive to relocate outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
metropolitan area as a condition for Executive retaining his position with
the Companies.
H. SEVERANCE PAYMENT shall mean an amount equal to the total base
compensation paid or payable to the Executive during the twelve (12)-month
period ending on the day immediately preceding a Termination Date, exclusive
of all bonuses and other benefits; provided, however, that if the period of
the Executive's employment prior to his termination is less than twelve (12)
months, his base pay during that period shall be annualized in determining
his Severance Payment.
I. NOTICE OF TERMINATION shall mean a notice which shall indicate in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Executive's employment.
J. TERMINATION DATE shall mean the date on which the Executive's
employment is terminated by SLC or FMI, or the date of the Executive's
resignation from all of the Companies for Good Reason.
II. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall cover the Executive and provide for the Severance
Payment and Benefits described herein.
III. TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL
A. TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described in
Paragraph IV, SLC shall pay the Executive the Severance Payment and provide
the Benefits if, within twenty four (24) months following the date of a
Change of Control, (i) the Executive's employment with SLC or FMI is
terminated for any reason other than as a result of the Executive's death or
Disability, or for Cause; or (ii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason.
B. TIMING OF SEVERANCE PAYMENT
The Severance Payment, less applicable withholding, shall be made, at the
option of the Executive, in either (i) a lump sum payment due on the first
business day following expiration of the seven (7) day period referred to in
Paragraph IV B , or (ii) in twelve equal monthly installments, with the first
such payment due on the first business day following expiration of the seven
(7) day period referred to in Paragraph IV B. The charge to the Executive for
Benefits shall be deducted from the payment herein provided on a lump sum or
monthly basis, corresponding to the settlement mode selected by Executive. A
lump sum deduction shall be calculated assuming the Benefits are continued
for the maximum period provided by this Agreement. A pro rata refund shall be
provided in the event of early termination of the Benefits. The charge to the
Executive shall be calculated at the charges in effect on the Termination
Date.
IV. RELEASE
A. RELEASE BY EXECUTIVE
In consideration for the Severance Payment to be made to the Executive and
as a condition of the payment of the same to the Executive, and for the other
good and valuable consideration referenced herein, the Executive, for himself
and his heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, will
irrevocably and unconditionally release all of the Companies and their
respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents and
other representatives from any and all claims, demands, suits, damages, sums
of money and/or judgements
arising at any time prior to and through the Date of Termination which may be
asserted against any of the Companies and/or its successors, assigns,
directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives by the
Executive, his heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns,
whether past or present, known or unknown, including, but not limited to, any
which have arise out of his past or existing relationships with any of the
Companies, whether by virtue of employment, directorship, stock ownership or
otherwise, or the termination of any such relationship; and the Executive will
agree not to file a lawsuit to assert any such claims. This release of
rights and claims and agreement not to sue shall include but not be limited
to, any claim of breach of fiduciary duty and any claim of contractual
restriction on the right of either the Executive or the Companies to
terminate the Executive's employment without liability or any claim of
wrongful discharge or violation of any right under federal, state or local
law prohibiting race, sex, age, religion, national origin or other forms of
discrimination, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as
amended, the Americans With Disabilities Act, as amended, the National Labor
Relations Act, and/or the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act.
B. RELEASE AGREEMENT
This provisions of Paragraph IV A shall be evidenced by a written Release
Agreement executed and delivered by the Executive to the Companies on or
after the Termination Date. The Executive shall have the right to cancel the
Release Agreement within seven (7) days from the date of execution, but in
the event of such cancellation the Executive shall not be entitled to the
Severance Payment or the Benefits.
V. SUCCESSORS AND BINDING AGREEMENT
A. ASSUMPTION BY SUCCESSOR
SLC and FMI will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
stock or asset purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of SLC or FMI to expressly
assume and agree, by a written agreement, to perform the obligations to
Executive under this Agreement. Failure of SLC or FMI to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall entitle the
Executive to a payment hereunder in the same amount and on the same terms as
the Executive would be entitled hereunder if such Executive had terminated
his employment for "Good Reason" within twenty-four (24) months following the
date of a Change of
Control. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any
such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Termination Date, and
the payment to be made to the Executive shall be made no later than the day
immediately preceding the day on which such succession occurs.
B. ENFORCEABILITY
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive
should die subsequent to the termination of his employment while any amount
would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if he had continued to
live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid to
the Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such
designee, to his estate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in a
lump sum within three (3) business days after the date of the Executive's
death.
C. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
SLC and FMI shall each be jointly and severally liable for the obligations
to Executive under this Agreement.
VI. EMPLOYMENT AFTER TERMINATION; NO DUTY TO MITIGATE
A. NO EFFECT ON CERTAIN OTHER BENEFITS
This Agreement has no effect upon the retirement benefits to which the
Executive is or will be entitled under SLC's or FMI's retirement plans or
under any other tax-qualified Executive benefit plans, as amended from
time to time. This Agreement also has no effect upon the Executive's
entitlement to any post-retirement life, accident, medical or similar
benefits to which the Executive would have been entitled if he had separated
from employment with SLC or FMI on his Termination Date hereunder and if this
Agreement did not exist.
B. OFFSET FOR OTHER SEVERANCE PAYMENTS
The benefits payable to the Executive under this Agreement are intended to
be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any severance pay that would otherwise
be payable to the Executive under (i) the Southwestern Life Corporation
Companies Salaried Severance Pay Plan or (ii) any employment or benefit
agreement or arrangement between SLC or FMI or any of the other Companies and
the Executive and, therefore, the Severance Payment payable hereunder shall
be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by any
severance payments paid to the Executive under any other such severance plan,
agreement or arrangement maintained by SLC, FMI or any of the other Companies
for the benefit of the Executive.
C. NO DUTY TO MITIGATE
The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for herein by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of any payment provided for herein by reduced by any compensation
earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after
the Termination Date, or otherwise. This Agreement shall not in any way limit
the Executive from accepting employment with any other employer following his
Termination Date, including employment with an employer that is a competitor
of any of the Companies.
VII. IRC SEC. 280G LIMITATIONS
If all or any portion of the payments provided under this Agreement,
either alone or together with other payments and benefits which Executive
receives or is entitled to receive from the Companies, would constitute an
"excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the"Code"), the payments and benefits
provided under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so
that no portion thereof shall fail to be tax-deductible under Section 280G of
the Code. Any determinations required to be made under this Paragraph VII
shall be made by the Companies' independent auditors, pursuant to the
applicable principles of Section 280G of the Code. At the time of and in
addition to any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, if payments or
benefits are reduced under this Paragraph VII, the Companies shall provide
Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which any such
reduction was calculated and the basis for such calculations.
VIII. LEGAL FEES.
In the event SLC or FMI breaches this Agreement, or in the event that
within twenty-four (24) months following the date of a Change of Control (i)
the Executive is terminated other than for Cause, death, or Disability or
(ii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason, SLC and FMI, jointly and
severally, shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses
reasonably incurred by the Executive as a result of such termination,
including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or
disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right
or benefit provided by this Agreement.
IX. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Texas.
X. NOTICE.
For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States Mail, Return
Receipt Requested, Postage Pre-Paid, addressed to the respective addresses
last specified in writing by any party hereto, provided that all notices to
SLC and FMI shall be directed to the attention of the Board of Directors of
SLC and/or FMI, as the case may be, or to such other address as either party
may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except
that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
XI. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. NO WAIVER
No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged with
respect to the Executive unless waiver, modification or discharge is agreed
to in writing signed by such Executive and such officer as may be
specifically designated by the SLC and FMI Boards of Directors. Moreover,
this Agreement may not be amended, except by written amendment signed by the
Executive and approved by the Boards of Directors of SLC and FMI and signed
by an authorized officer of SLC and FMI. No waiver by any party hereto at any
time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the time or at any prior or subsequent time.
B. NO GUARANTY OF EMPLOYMENT
Except as may be otherwise provided under this Agreement or any written
employment agreement between the Executive and SLC or FMI, the Executive's
employment by SLC and FMI is "at will," and may be terminated at any time.
Upon a lawful termination of the Executive prior to a Change of Control, the
Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive's
employment with SLC or FMI is terminated prior to the date of a Change of
Control, and such termination of employment (i) occurred at the request of
any Person (as hereinabove defined)
who has taken steps intended, or which reasonably may be expected, to result
in a Change of Control, or (ii) otherwise occurred in connection with, or in
anticipation of, a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this
Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated
following a Change of Control and, in any such case, the date of such
termination shall be deemed to be the date of a Change of Control.
XII. VALIDITY.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHERETO, SLC and FMI have each caused this Agreement to be duly
executed in their name and behalf by their duly authorized officer, effective
as of the date first above written.

UNIVISION SI APPLICATION
FROM
BOB SHAW
JANUARY 5, 1995
---------------------------------
I have reviewed the application dated January 5, 1995 from Bob Shaw regarding
the issuance of an individually owned policy on plan Univision SI. I also
discussed this with Bob Greving, Jim Kerber, Dan Gail, Don Rutherford, Hubert
Mathis and Tom Hobbs.
In the recent past, the Company offered certain of its executives the
opportunity to exchange their group term life coverage that is provided by the
Company for an individually owned policy issued by SWL. The Company agreed
that it would pay the group term equivalent premium for the executive's age
bracket as determined by PALICO and that the individual would pay any
additional amounts required to carry the SWL policy.
Pursuant to Exhibit No. 7 of Mr. Shaw's Independent Contractor and Services
Agreement dated February 11, 1994, the Company agreed that for the ten-year
term of the Agreement, it would provide him "those employee benefits available
from time to time to the Company's senior executive officers (including life
and health insurance)..." Under the group term life plan, Mr. Shaw's coverage
amounts to $1,000,000, which under the Agreement would continue until February
10, 2004. Since the group carve-out opportunity was made available to the
Company's senior executive officers, it should also be available to Mr. Shaw
under the spirit of the Agreement. Additionally, the Company previously
allowed Messrs. Rice and Allen to participate in the group carve-out.
The premiums illustrated with Mr. Shaw's application were $20,760 for each of
the first five years and $17,460 for the second five years. It is my
understanding that these are based on the rates now charged by PALICO under
the Company's group term life plan for the 61-65 and 66-70 age groups,
respectively. It is also my
understanding that these premium payments will carry the policy at the
projected interest rates. Accordingly, if these rates remain the same over
the next nine years, all of the illustrated premiums will be payable by the
Company.
Under this arrangement, the Company will pay the appropriate rate for group
term life coverage as it is determined from time to time through February 10,
2004, and any other payments required under this policy will be the
responsibility of the owner of the policy.

DATE: March 8, 1994
MEMO TO: The Board of Directors of ICH
FROM: Robert Beisenherz, Chairman
RE: ICH Deferred Compensation Plan
Since January 1988, ICH has provided a Deferred Compensation Plan for "a
select group of management or highly compensated employees." The purpose of
the Plan was to aid in attracting and retaining employees of exceptional
ability by providing a tax deferred means to supplement their retirement
income.
The Plan provides two means of deferrals:
1. AWARD - The Compensation Committee at its discretion may make annual
Awards to the Participants' Deferred Benefit Accounts.
2. VOLUNTARY SALARY DEFERRALS - A Participant may at his discretion defer
all or a portion of his annual Salary to a Voluntary Salary Deferral
Account.
The timing and the amount of past Awards have been inconsistent and have not
followed any set criteria. No new Participants have been added to the plan in
the past three years and no Awards were made in 1993.
Additionally, a number of individuals are participating who do not meet the
general guidelines for this type of deferred compensation plan.
Proposed changes and continued basic provisions are as follows:
PROPOSED CHANGES
1. Eligibility - Determined by annual base Salary
A. New Participants - $100,000 will be the minimum Salary
requirement. Eligibility will occur upon the later of (a)
Participant's completion of the waiting period following
employment or (b) his attainment of a Salary of $100,000 if
employed for more than two years.
(1) Waiting Period - New employees will become eligible for
participation at the end of the second calendar year
following the date of employment.
Memo to the ICH Board of Directors
March 8, 1994
Page Two
B. Current Participants - $85,000 will be the minimum Salary
requirement for continuation in the Plan. Participation for
employees with salaries of less than $85,000 will be discontinued
effective March 31, 1994, and their accounts paid to them.
2. Annual Award - Awards will be made annually, effective December 31st of
each year.
3. Award Amount - 4% of base annual Salary will be the annual Award for
each Participant.
4. Vesting Period - A Participant will be vested in his Award account at
the rate of 20% per year, beginning on the date of the first Award
grant. The Voluntary Salary Deferral account will be 100% vested at all
times.
CONTINUED BASIC PROVISIONS
1. Death Benefit - Two times annual Salary (not to exceed $1 million) prior
to termination of employment.
To become a Participant in the Plan, an employee must submit Evidence of
Insurability and be approved within Company underwriting guidelines. If
a Participant is uninsurable, the Death Benefit will be equal to his
award account.
The insurance benefit is funded by a Southwestern Life group term
contract issued to Facilities Management Installation Inc.
2. Disability - If the service of a Participant terminates because of a
Disability, the Participant will be 100% vested in his Award account.
3. Unsecured General Creditors - This is not a tax-qualified or an ERISA
plan and therefore the Plan assets or insurance are not held under any
trust for the benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries. The
Company's obligation under the Plan is that of an unfunded and unsecured
promise of the Company to pay future benefits.
Upon approval by the Board, the appropriate amendments to the Plan will be
filed with the Department of Labor.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
of the parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
1.1 DEFINITIONS. The capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not
defined herein shall have the meanings specified in EXHIBIT A. Unless the
context otherwise requires, such capitalized terms shall include the singular
and plural and the conjunctive and disjunctive forms of the terms defined.

ARTICLE II
SALE OF SHARES AND CLOSING
2.1 PURCHASE AND SALE. The Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser and/or
to the Purchaser's Designated Subsidiary, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, or
to cause such Designated Subsidiary to purchase, from Seller the Shares at the
Closing upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
2.2 CONSIDERATION. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3
hereof, the consideration for the Shares shall be $9,578,000 (the
"Consideration"). Immediately prior to the Closing, Seller will cause
Integrity to pay to Seller and to its other shareholders the maximum
nonextraordinary cash dividend (the "Dividend") that Integrity can legally
pay, 98.85% of which amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.
The balance of the Consideration shall be payable at the Closing by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to such bank and account as the
Seller may specify by written notice received by the Purchaser at least three
Business Days prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that $1,000,000
of the Purchase Price shall be placed in escrow and paid to Seller at such
time as the Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus of Integrity is finally
determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 2.3 hereof and
paid in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
2.3 ADJUSTMENT.
(a) After the Closing, the Purchaser will deliver
to the Seller within 60 days (i) a balance sheet of
Integrity as of the date of the Closing together with the
report thereon of Ernst & Young, LLP ("Ernst & Young"),
stating that such balance sheet presents fairly the
financial position of Integrity at the Closing Date in
conformity with SAP, and (ii) written notice setting forth
the Purchaser's determination of the Closing Adjusted
Capital and Surplus of Integrity, together with true and
complete copies of all Workpapers related thereto
(collectively, the "Closing Adjusted Capital and
Surplus"). All fees and expenses of Ernst & Young
related to the report to be delivered as contemplated in
clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
the responsibility of and paid for by the Purchaser.
Within 15 Business Days after the receipt by the Seller
2
of such determination of the Closing Adjusted Capital and
Surplus, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser
written notice stating whether it agrees or disagrees
with such determination. If the Seller agrees with such
determination and so notifies the Purchaser, or does not
notify the Purchaser that the Seller disagrees with such
determination within such 15 Business Days, such
determination shall be deemed to be the Closing Adjusted
Capital and Surplus. If the Seller notifies the
Purchaser within such 15 Business Days that the Seller
does not agree with such determination of the Closing
Adjusted Capital and Surplus, the Seller and Purchaser
shall, for a period of 15 Business Days, in good faith,
attempt to negotiate a determination of the Closing
Adjusted Capital and Surplus. If the Seller and
Purchaser fail to reach a determination of the Closing
Adjusted Capital and Surplus within such 15 Business
Days, the Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus shall be
determined by the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick
(the "Accounting Firm"). The Seller shall cause such
determination by the Accounting Firm and a statement of
fees and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm in
making such determination, together with true and
complete copies of all Workpapers related thereto, to be
delivered to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after
the Seller's notice of disagreement. The parties hereto
agree and acknowledge that the determination of the
Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus by the Accounting
Firm in accordance with this Section 2.3(a) shall be
final and binding on all parties. If the services of the
Accounting Firm are used as provided herein, all fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid one-half by
the Seller and one-half by the Purchaser; provided,
however, (i) if the Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus,
as determined by the Accounting Firm is over $50,000 less
than the amount originally calculated by the Purchaser,
all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be the
responsibility of and paid by the Seller, and (ii) if the
Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus as determined by the
Accounting Firm is more than $50,000 in excess of the
amount originally calculated by the Purchaser, all fees
and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be the
responsibility of and paid by the Purchaser.
(b) If the Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus is
less than $6,042,506, the Seller hereby agrees that
within ten Business Days of its acceptance of the
Purchaser's determination of the Closing Adjusted Capital
and Surplus (either by the Seller's notice of such
3
acceptance or the Seller's failure to notify the
Purchaser of the Seller's disagreement within 15 Business
Days as provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof) or its receipt
of a notice from the Accounting Firm of the Closing
Adjusted Capital and Surplus, as the case may be, the
Seller will pay to the Purchaser, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such bank and account as
the Purchaser may specify by written notice delivered to
the Seller, a sum equal to 98.85% of the difference (i)
(the "Deficit Amount") between the $6,042,506 Closing
Adjusted Capital and Surplus plus (ii) interest on the
Deficit Amount at a rate per annum equal to the Prime
Rate based on the actual number of days elapsed from and
including the Closing Date to the date of payment and a
365-day year, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any part of the
Deficit Amount and interest thereon due the Purchaser
from the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) remains
unpaid past the 30th day after the day such amount was
due, the interest rate on such part will be increased to
the Prime Rate plus 5% for such period from the Closing
Date to the payment date.
(c) If the Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus is
greater than $6,042,506, the Purchaser hereby agrees that
within ten Business Days of the Seller's acceptance of
the Purchaser's determination of the Closing Adjusted
Capital and Surplus (either by the Seller's notice of
such acceptance or the Seller's failure to notify the
Purchaser of the Seller's disagreement within 15 Business
Days as provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof) or its receipt
of a notice from the Accounting Firm of the Closing
Adjusted Capital and Surplus, as the case may be, the
Purchaser will pay to the Seller, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such bank and account as
the Seller may specify by written notice delivered to
Purchaser, a sum equal to 98.85% (i) the difference
between the Closing Adjusted Capital and Surplus and
$6,042,506(the "Appreciated Amount") plus (ii) interest
on the Appreciated Amount at a rate per annum equal to
the Prime Rate based on the actual number of days elapsed
from and including the Closing Date to the date of
payment and a 365-day year, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
any part of the Appreciated Amount and interest thereon
due the Seller from the Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 2.3(c) remains unpaid past the 30th day after the
day such amount was due, the interest rate on such part
will be increased to the Prime Rate plus 5% for such
period from the Closing Date to the payment date.
4
(d) The Purchaser shall cooperate fully with the
Accounting Firm and provide all information and access to
all personnel it reasonably requests in connection with
its determination of Closing Adjusted Capital and
Surplus. Both parties shall be provided with access to
all books and records and Work Papers used by the
Accounting Firm in making its determination hereunder.
2.4 CLOSING. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the
Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Shares,
as provided in Section 2.1 hereof and the execution and delivery of the
documents and instruments specified in this Section 2.4, will take place in
Louisville, Kentucky at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the Closing Date. At the
Closing, the Seller will assign and transfer to Purchaser or its Designated
Subsidiary, good and valid title, and all other rights and interests of
Seller, in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens. To effect such
assignment and transfer, the Seller will deliver certificates representing
all the Shares, in genuine and unaltered form, accompanied by duly executed
blank stock powers or (at the request of the Purchaser) endorsed in blank for
transfer. The Seller will execute and deliver to the Purchaser or its
Designated Subsidiary such documents and instruments as are required of the
Seller under the terms and provisions of this Agreement. All such
certificates, stock powers, documents, and instruments will be in form and
content reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser. The Purchaser will pay
$1,000,000 of the Consideration to the Escrow Agent and will pay the balance
of the Consideration and deliver such documents and instruments as are
required of the Purchaser under the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
All such documents and instruments will be in form and content reasonably
satisfactory to the Seller.

its obligations under this Agreement.

received by Integrity on the Reinsured Business will be paid by Integrity, as

Subsidiary will furnish the Seller promptly with copies
of all correspondence (including without limitation
notices, requests, explanations, determinations,
schedules, charts, and lists) received from any taxing
authority in connection with any Tax Claim. The Seller

may, at its expense, participate in any such contest or
refund suit and neither party shall compromise or settle
such contest or refund suit without the consent of the
other.

failure to perform any covenant or agreement
on the part of the Seller made as a part of or
contained in this Agreement, or any
certificate delivered by or for the Seller
pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof; and
(ii) any and all Damages resulting from
or relating to any use before the Closing of
58
any Real Estate for the storage, treatment,
generation, transportation, manufacture,
processing, handling, production,
distribution, deposit, burial, use, or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance; any
Release before the Closing of any Hazardous
Substance on any Real Estate; any failure
before the Closing of Integrity to comply with
all Environmental Laws relating to any Real
Estate or the business, activities, or
processing respectively conducted thereon; any
failure whether before or after the Closing to
undertake and pursue any investigative,
containment, removal, clean up, and other
remedial actions ordered by a governmental
entity or court of competent jurisdiction in
accordance with applicable Laws with respect
to any Release, before the Closing, of any
Hazardous Substance on or from any Real
Estate; or any human exposure whether before
or after the Closing to any Hazardous
Substance existing on any Real Estate at or
before the Closing;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no indemnification shall be available under clause (i)
above with respect to any breaches of any representations or warranties of
Seller, if such breaches and the materiality thereof were within the
Knowledge of Purchaser prior to the Closing as a result of information
provided to the Purchaser pursuant hereto and the Purchaser nonetheless
proceeded with the closing and did not establish any Liability for Damages
arising from such breaches in calculating the Closing Adjusted Capital and
Surplus.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Article IX and
Section 10.5 hereof, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify
the Seller in respect of, and hold the Seller harmless
against, any and all Damages resulting from or relating
to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or
nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or
agreement on the part of the Purchaser made as a part of
or contained in this Agreement or any certificate
delivered by or for the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3
hereof.
(c) In the event the Purchaser or the Designated Subsidiary
asserts any claim for Damages under Section 10.3(a)(ii) hereof, then the
Purchaser and the Designated Subsidiary shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain, or cooperate with
59
the Seller in obtaining, recovery of all alleged Damages under any insurance
policies under which such Damages may be recoverable ("Available Policies");
provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 10.3(c) shall not
limit or otherwise affect Sellers' obligations to indemnify Purchaser or the
Designated Subsidiary pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(ii), except as provided in
the immediately following sentence. If any amounts are recovered under the
Available Policies as contemplated in the preceding sentence, then (a) to the
extent the Damages recovered under the Available Policies have been
indemnified by the Seller, the amounts recovered shall be paid by the
provider of the Available Policy (the "Provider") directly to Seller or, if
such recovery is required to be paid to Purchaser, the Designated Subsidiary
or another third party to whom the liability giving rise to such Damages is
owed, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse Seller the amount actually paid
by the Provider under the Available Policies and (b) to the extent the
Damages received under the Available Policy have not been indemnified by the
Seller, the amounts received shall be paid by the Provider of the Available
Policy directly to the Purchaser, the Designated Subsidiary or the third
party to whom liability giving rise to the Damages is owed, as appropriate,
and the amount of Damages shall be reduced by the amount so paid by the
Provider. To the extent amounts that are recovered (or recoverable) under
Available Policies with respect to Damages subject to a claim for
indemnification under Section 10.3(a)(ii) hereof cannot be paid or
distributed as provided above in this Section 10.3(c), then Purchaser, the
Designated Subsidiary and the Seller agree to use their good faith best
efforts to reach agreement as to the allocation of, and take such
commercially reasonable best efforts as necessary to effect payment in
accordance with such allocation of amounts so recovered (or recoverable).
10.4 METHOD OF ASSERTING CLAIMS. All claims for indemnification by any
Indemnified Party under Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof will be asserted and
resolved as follows:
(a) In the event any claim or demand for which an
Indemnifying Party would be liable for Damages to an
Indemnified Party under Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof is
asserted against or sought to be collected from such
Indemnified Party by a Person other than the Seller,
Integrity, the Purchaser, the Designated Subsidiary, or
any Affiliate of the Seller or the Purchaser ("Third
Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party will deliver a Claim
Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying
Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that except as set forth in
Section 10.4(d) hereof, no Claim Notice will be required
with respect to any action, suit, investigation, or
60
proceeding that is in existence on the Closing Date. If
the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Indemnifying
Party with the Claim Notice required by the preceding
sentence at least 14 calendar days before the date on
which the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against
the Third Party Claim is irrevocably prejudiced by the
Indemnified Party's failure to provide such Claim Notice,
the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify
the Indemnified Party with respect to such portion of the
Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party's
ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of
the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will
notify the Indemnified party with reasonable promptness
after the Indemnifying Party's receipt of a Claim Notice,
but in all events within 7 calendar days after receipt
thereof ("Notice Period"), of whether the Indemnifying
Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to
the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such
Third Party Claim and whether the Indemnifying Party
desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third
Party Claim.
(b) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party within the Notice Period or at any time
thereafter that the Indemnifying Party (without any
reservation of rights) does not dispute its Liability to
the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party
desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to
the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article X, then
the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, at
its sole cost and expense, such Third Party Claim by all
appropriate proceedings, which proceedings, will be
diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a
final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of
the Indemnifying Party (with the consent of the
Indemnified Party, which consent will not be withheld or
delayed unreasonably). From the date of such notice, the
Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense
and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement
thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indemnified Party
may, at any time prior to its receipt of such notice from
the Indemnifying Party, file any motion, answer, or other
pleadings that the Indemnified Party may deem necessary
or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the
Indemnifying Party and not irrevocably prejudicial to the
Indemnifying Party (it being understood and agreed that,
except as provided in Section 10.4(c) hereof, if an
Indemnified Party takes any such action that is
61
irrevocably prejudicial and conclusively causes a final
adjudication that is materially adverse to the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will be
relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the
portion of such Third Party Claim prejudiced by the
Indemnified Party's action); and provided further, that
if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified
Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party
shall not be responsible for any attorneys fees of the
Indemnified Party unless the retention of such attorneys
is required by the Indemnifying Party), to cooperate with
the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any
Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to
contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third
Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim
against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or
any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates). The
Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control,
any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim
controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this
Section 10.4(b), and except as provided in the preceding
sentence, the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs
and expenses with respect to such participation.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party (without
any reservation of rights) does not dispute its Liability
to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party
desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to
the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article X, or if
the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails
diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle the Third
Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the
right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all
appropriate proceedings, which Proceedings will be
promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified
Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the
discretion of the Indemnified party (with the consent of
the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be
withheld or delayed unreasonably). The Indemnified Party
will have full control of such defense and proceedings,
including any compromise or settlement thereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the
Indemnified party and its counsel in contesting any Third
62
Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting,
or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim
in question, in making any counterclaim against the
Person asserting the Third party Claim, or any cross-
complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnifying
Party or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.4(c), if the
Indemnifying Party has timely notified the Indemnified
Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability
to the Indemnified Party and if such dispute is resolved
in favor of the Indemnifying Party by final,
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction,
the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the
costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's defense
pursuant to this Section 10.4(c) or of the Indemnifying
Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's
request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the
Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with
such litigating. The Indemnifying Party may participate
in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled
by the Indemnified party pursuant to this Section
10.4(c), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own
costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
(d) In the event any Indemnified Party should have
a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that
does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted
against or sought to be collected from the Indemnified
Party, the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying
Party with reasonable promptness of such claim by the
Indemnified Party, specifying the nature of and specific
basis for such claim and the amount or the estimated
amount of such claim (the "Indemnity Notice"). If the
Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party agree to proceed in good
faith to attempt to negotiate a resolution of such
dispute,and if not resolved through negotiations, either
party may pursue whatever remedies it may have under
applicable law.
10.5 AFTER-TAX DAMAGES; REFUNDS. With respect to the indemnification
agreements set forth in this Article X, the Seller and the Purchaser agree
that:
(a) all Damages will be adjusted downward by the tax
benefit obtained by the party to be indemnified in the
same manner as specified by Section 10.1(b);
63
(b) the amount of any refund, as adjusted by (a)
above, if appropriate, will be promptly paid to the
Seller or Purchaser or offset against indemnification
payments then owed to the other party to this Agreement;
and
(c) all Damages indemnifiable under Section 10.1
will be payable by either party 30 days after the "final
determination" within the meaning of Section 1313 of the
Code or the execution of Form 870 or Form 870AD.
10.6 CLAIMS LIMITATION. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Article X, the Seller shall not have any liability for any Damages under
Section 10.3 hereof, except for Damages under Section 10.3(a)(ii) and Damages
resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty
contained in Section 3.6, 3.14, 3.16(e) or 3.17 or any nonfulfillment of or
failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the Part of the Seller
contained in Article V of this Agreement or any certificate delivered by or
for Seller pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, until and unless the cumulative
total of such Damages exceeds in the aggregate $200,000, it being understood
that after such Damages exceed in the aggregate $200,000, the Seller shall be
liable to the Purchaser only for Damages in excess of such $200,000,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the limitations of this Section 10.6 shall not apply
to any Damages resulting from the Seller's intentional, willful or reckless
misrepresentations or, breaches of covenants or agreements made as a part of
or contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
the aggregate amount which Seller may be required to pay to the Purchaser
and/or the Designated Subsidiary pursuant to this Article X shall not exceed
$3,000,000.

Southwestern Life Corporation
500 North Akard Street
Dallas, Texas 75201
We are providing this letter to you for inclusion as an exhibit to your
Form 10-K filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
We have read management's justification for the change in accounting method
for assessing the recoverability of excess cost of investments in
subsidiaries over net assets acquired from an actuarial projection of
undiscounted future earnings of the applicable insurance subsidiaries
(excluding excess cost amortization) over the remaining useful life, to an
actuarial projection of the same future earnings discounted using an economic
rate of return (13%), contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994. Based on our reading of the data and discussions with
Company officials of the business judgment and business planning factors
relating to the change, we believe management's justification to be
reasonable. Accordingly, in reliance on management's determination as regards
elements of business judgment and business planning, we concur that the newly
adopted accounting method described above is preferable in the Company's
circumstances to the method previously applied.
