This Amended and Restated Notice of Assignment and Assumption, and Indemnity Agreement (this “Restated Notice and Indemnity Agreement”) is entered into this 20th day of December, 2018 (the “Restatement Date”), by and among: (i) Life Settlement Liquidity Option, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LSLO”), and CFunds Life Settlement, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CFLS”), and, together with LSLO, “Assignees”); and (ii) the Life Partners Position Holder Trust (the “PHT”) and the Life Partners XXX Xxxxxx Partnership, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Partnership” and together with the PHT, the “Successor Entities”).

Whereas, the Revised Third Amended Plan of Reorganization of Life Partners Holdings, Inc. et al. Case No 15-40289-rfn11 (the “Plan”), which was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas on November 1, 2016, and became effective on December 9, 2016;

Whereas, as of the date hereof, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx has been duly appointed, and is duly acting, as the trustee of the PHT (the “Trustee”) and the manager of the Partnership (the “Manager”);

Whereas, the PHT is governed by the Trust Agreement for the Life Partners Position Holders Trust (the “Trust Agreement”); and the Partnership is governed by Company Agreement of Life Partners XXX Xxxxxx Partnership, LLC, (the “Company Agreement,” and, together with the Trust Agreement, the “Successor Entity Agreements”) each effective as of December 9, 2016;

Whereas, LSLO commenced tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) for PHT Units and XXX Partnership Units, as further described in that certain Schedule TO (together with all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) filed by LSLO with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2018;

Whereas, CFLS is now being joined to the Tender Offers as an offeror along with LSLO, as described in an amendment to the Initial Schedule TO (together with all exhibits thereto, the “Amended Schedule TO”; and together with the Initial Schedule TO, the “Initial Schedule TO”) filed by LSLO with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the Restatement Date;

Whereas, those security holders (each an “Assignor” and collectively the “Assignors”) desiring to tender their PHT Units and/or their XXX Partnership Units (the “Tendered Securities”) have been or will be identified, together with the Securities being tendered, in the forms of assignment, which may be in physical form or which may be in electronic form posted to an Internet website (the “Assignment Forms”), to be delivered to the appropriate Successor Entities, with the intent to assign, transfer and convey to the Assignees: (i) the Tendered Securities as of the Effective Date, as defined below, plus (ii) any right to receive dividends or any other distributions and remittances made or declared by the Successor Entities in respect of the Tendered Securities (collectively “Post-Closing Dividends”) with a record date on or after the date of consummation (the “Closing Date”) of the Tender Offers (the “Record Date”) (collectively, the “Assignment”);

Whereas, Assignees will accept for payment the Tendered Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the date of the Tender Offers, subject to the terms and conditions of the offer to purchase and the other documents filed as exhibits to the Schedule TO;

Whereas, as disclosed in the Amended Schedule TO, Assignees intend to allocate the Tendered Securities between them in the manner set forth in the Amended Schedule TO (the “Allocation”), such that, while the obligation of Assignees to accept the Tendered Securities for payment on the Closing Date will be joint and several, Assignees intend that Tendered Securities will be assigned to each of them in accordance with the proportions of the Allocation; and

Whereas, to the extent that any premiums, fees, and catch-up payments are owed in respect of any of the Tendered Securities to the respective Successor Entities or their respective servicing agents (collectively, “Premiums”), Assignees will deduct such Premiums from the amount of the consideration paid to the holders of the Tendered Securities and pay over such amounts to the respective Successor Entities, thereby discharging the obligation to pay such Premiums on behalf of such holders.

(a)

If any claim is asserted or any action, suit or proceeding is commenced against an SE Indemnitee that may result in any liability or indemnity being imposed on Assignees, the Successor Entities shall exercise due diligence and reasonable business judgment in defending or settling the same and shall give notice thereof in writing to Assignees promptly following

​

​

​

the assertion of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding. Upon the receipt of such notice, Assignees, at their own expense, may participate in the defense against such claim, action, suit or proceeding, any negotiations with respect thereto and take all such steps as may be necessary or proper therein. Such participation shall not be deemed to be an admission of liability to the SE Indemnitee or any Assignee with respect to such matter. The SE Indemnitee shall have control of any defense or settlement, except that Assignees may assume and prosecute the defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the SE Indemnitee, if Assignees do not agree to a settlement proposed by the SE Indemnitee and admit its potential liability to the SE Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such matter. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, no SE Indemnitee shall settle any claim, action suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 without the joint written consent of Assignees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b)

Assignees’ indemnification obligations shall extend for the longest applicable stature of limitations period; provided that the obligation of Assignees to indemnify any Primary SE Indemnitee for reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements sustained, incurred or paid by such Primary SE Indemnitee with respect to any claim asserted or any action, suit or proceeding commenced against such Primary SE Indemnitee shall extend indefinitely.

​

(c)

Should an indemnification obligation under this provision arise, each Assignee hereby expressly authorize the Successor Entities to set-off such obligation against any distributions payable to such Assignee pursuant to the Plan and remit same to the corresponding SE Indemnitee; provided that if such Assignee shall contest in a writing delivered to the Successor Entities the entitlement of an SE Indemnitee to such indemnification, the Successor Entities shall not make such remittance and shall instead hold such distribution in escrow, separate and apart from other assets of the Successor Entities, until such time as the entitlement of such SE Indemnitee to indemnification is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (and shall make a remittance thereof to Assignee if the SE Indemnitee is finally determined not to be entitled to such indemnification); provide further than any remittance made to an SE Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 6(c) shall be deemed in satisfaction of such Assignee’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

​

7.   Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, Assignees and the Successor Entities shall execute and deliver, upon written request, all such further documents and instruments and shall do and perform all such acts as may be reasonably necessary to give full effect to the intent of this Restated Notice and Indemnity Agreement.
