ASSUMPTION AND REINSURANCE AGREEMENT
------------------------------------
This ASSUMPTION AND REINSURANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered
into this ___ day of _____, 2000 by and between PACIFIC LIFE AND ACCIDENT
INSURANCE COMPANY, a Texas domiciled life insurance company (the "Company") and
PIONEER SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Texas domiciled life insurance
company (the "Reinsurer").
In consideration of the mutual promises, agreements and
understandings hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Reinsurer mutually
agree as follows:
1. REINSURANCE AND ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES
1.1 The Company does hereby agree to cede and transfer to the
Reinsurer, and by this Agreement does cede and transfer to the Reinsurer, and
the Reinsurer does hereby agree to acquire and assume from the Company, and by
this Agreement does acquire and assume from the Company, one hundred percent
(100%) of the liability of the Company as of the Initial Assumption Effective
Date with respect to (i) all Policy Liabilities (as defined in Paragraph 1.2 and
1.3) with respect to the policies and contracts described on Schedule 1.1a
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and (ii) all
Reinsurance Assumed (as defined in Paragraph 1.2 and 1.3); provided, however,
that the liability shall not include (x) the Rejected Policies (as defined in
Paragraph 3.3) and (y) the Interim Policies (as defined in Paragraph 3.2) The
policies and contracts described on Schedule 1.1a constitute all of the policies
and contracts of the Company in full force and effect, or pending (i.e. those
applied for), on the Initial Assumption Effective Date, or not presently in
effect but which are subject to reinstatement in accordance with their
respective terms, and are hereafter referred to collectively as the "Policies".
1.2 a. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Policy Liabilities"
means the gross liability of the Company on the Policies before deducting
cessions under the Company's reinsurance programs.
b. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Reinsurance Assumed"
shall mean all liabilities and obligations of the Company with respect to
policies and contracts for which the Company acts as reinsurer pursuant to the
reinsurance agreements identified on Schedule 1.2b attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Company Reinsurance Agreements").
1.3 All Policy Liabilities and Reinsurance Assumed for which the
Reinsurer is liable under this Agreement shall include all claims which could be
made against the Company with respect to the Policies and the Reinsurance
Assumed, whether on the basis of contract, misrepresentation, estoppel,
reliance, waiver or otherwise, subject, however, in all respects to the same
terms, conditions, interpretations, waivers, modifications, alterations and
cancellations as the Policies and Company Reinsurance Agreements, respectively.
The Reinsurer accepts and assumes the Policy Liabilities and Reinsurance Assumed
subject to all defenses, setoffs and counterclaims to which the Company would be
entitled with respect to the Policies and Company Reinsurance Agreements,
respectively. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that no such
defenses, setoffs or counterclaims are waived by the execution of this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and
that on the Initial Assumption Effective Date the Reinsurer shall be fully
subrogated to all such defenses, setoffs and counterclaims.
1.4 On the Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Reinsurer shall be
the successor to the Company under the Policies and the Company Reinsurance
Agreements. The Policies and Company Reinsurance Agreements shall be direct
obligations of the Reinsurer and the Company shall have no liabilities thereof.
The Reinsurer shall substitute itself in the place of the Company as if named in
the place of the Company. The Insureds and Reinsureds (as defined in the
following sentence) may thereafter disregard the Company as a party to the
Policies and Company Reinsurance Agreements, respectively, and may treat the
Reinsurer as if it had been originally obligated under the Policies and Company
Reinsurance Agreements. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Insured" or
"insureds" means any person or entity entitled to claim or receive benefits
under any Policy or Policies and "Reinsured" or "Reinsureds" means any entity
entitled to claim or receive benefits under any Company Reinsurance Agreement.
2
After the Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Insureds and Reinsureds shall
have the right to file claims arising under the Policies and Company Reinsurance
Agreements directly with the Reinsurer. The Insureds and Reinsureds shall have a
direct right of action against the Reinsurer and the Reinsurer hereby consents
to be subject to direct action taken by any Insured or Reinsured. The rights of
any Insured, beneficiary, or Reinsured shall be limited to and consist of those
rights set forth in the Policy (including any rider or endorsement to the
Policy) or Company Reinsurance Agreement, as applicable, and any other rights
which such insured, beneficiary or Reinsured may have against Company with
respect to such Policy or Company Reinsurance Agreement and no Insured or
Reinsured shall have the right to receive a greater amount under or with respect
to the Policy or Company Reinsurance Agreement than such party would have had in
the absence of this Agreement.
1.5 In assessing the rights of any Insured or Reinsured under a
Policy or Company Reinsurance Agreement, no effect shall be given to the
bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium of the
Company, or the effect of laws or legal procedures affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights against the Company generally.
2. ASSIGNMENT OF REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS
2.1 The Company shall use its best efforts to transfer as of the
Initial Assumption Effective Date all rights and obligations of the Company
under the reinsurance agreements in effect on the Closing Date between the
Company and any reinsurer relating to the Policies (the "Reinsurance
Agreements"), including amounts held by or which may become due from reinsurers
on the Policies. The Reinsurer shall assume all such rights and obligations
transferred.
2.2 The Company shall aid the Reinsurer in collection of all amounts
due from other reinsurers and shall forward to the Reinsurer any funds collected
from reinsurers on the Policies.
3
2.3 If necessary to effect the transfer of any Reinsurance Agreement,
the Company hereby, with the concurrence of the reinsurer under such Reinsurance
Agreement, effective upon the concurrence, appoints the Reinsurer as
attorney-in-fact for the Company to act for and on behalf of the Company with
respect to letters of credit outstanding for the benefit of the Company under
the Reinsurance Agreements. The Company and the Reinsurer shall each use their
best efforts, to the extent mutually agreed to be necessary, to cause the
reinsurers of the Company under the Reinsurance Agreements to have replacement
letters of credit issued directly for the benefit of the Reinsurer.
3. CONSIDERATION
3.1 As consideration for the cession by the Company and assumption by
the Reinsurer of the liabilities of the Company described herein, including but
not limited to the Policy Liabilities, and subject to the adjustment provided in
the following Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3, the Company hereby sells, conveys,
transfers, assigns and delivers to the Reinsurer cash, marketable securities and
receivables of the Company (but not including state insurance charters and
licenses, and the Company's rights under the Coinsurance Agreement and the
Service and Administration Agreement of even date herewith entered into with the
Reinsurer) equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all Policy Liabilities and all
Reinsurance Assumed as of the Initial Assumption Effective Date, (collectively,
the "Assets"). On the Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Company will
execute and deliver to the Reinsurer assignments, bills of sale, deeds or other
documents in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and Reinsurer conveying
to the Reinsurer all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to the
Assets. The Company and the Reinsurer further agree that, without further
consideration, the Company and the Reinsurer, at any time, shall execute and
deliver all endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance and
transfer, in form and substance mutually acceptable to the Company and the
Reinsurer, and shall take all such further action as the Reinsurer reasonably
may request and as may be necessary to transfer effectively and vest in the
Reinsurer title to the Assets.
3.2 The consideration paid pursuant to the foregoing Paragraph 3.1
shall included consideration of an amount equal to the outstanding statutory
reserves as of the Initial
4
Assumption Effective Date for all Interim Policies. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Interim Policy" shall mean a policy whose transfer to the
Reinsurer by way of assumption pursuant to Paragraph 1.1 hereof is not permitted
because not all of the regulatory approvals or the policyholder approvals with
respect to such Policy have been received by the Initial Assumption Effective
Date.
3.3 The consideration paid to the Reinsurer pursuant to the foregoing
Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 shall be reduced on the Adjustment Date (defined below)
by an amount equal to the outstanding statutory reserves as of the Adjustment
Date on all Rejected Policies (the "Reduction Amount"). For purposes of this
Agreement, (i) the term "Rejected Policy" shall mean a Policy whose transfer to
the Reinsurer is rejected by the policyholder or which transfer is deemed by
operation of law to have been rejected unless such policy can be legally
reinsured pursuant to the terms of the Agreement notwithstanding such rejection,
and (ii) the term "Adjustment Date" shall mean that date which is within thirty
(30) days following the date on which all Policies have been accepted or
rejected for transfer, to the Reinsurer and which date shall be mutually
acceptable to the parties. The Reduction Amount shall thereafter be transferred
by a mutually acceptable means.
4. COINSURANCE
As of the Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Company hereby cedes
to Reinsurer and the Reinsurer hereby reinsures on a 100% coinsurance basis all
of the Company's liabilities of any kind or character relating to or arising
under each Interim Policy. Coinsurance hereunder shall continue with respect to
each Interim Policy under Paragraph 1.1 hereof. Coinsurance hereunder shall also
continue with respect to an Interim Policy that becomes a Rejected Policy and at
such time the Policy will be treated as a Rejected Policy, not as an Interim
Policy. The terms of the coinsurance are contained in a Coinsurance Agreement
executed concurrently with this Agreement by the Company and the Reinsurer.
5
5. CLOSING
The closing of the assumption reinsurance transactions contemplated
by this Agreement shall take place on the Initial Assumption Effective Date and
shall provide for the assignment of the Reinsurance Agreements and the
assumption of Policies issued to policyholders residing in jurisdictions that
have issued insurance regulatory approvals prior to the Initial Assumption
Effective Date or that do not require prior approval of the assumption
hereunder. The Initial Assumption Effective Date shall be defined as 12:01 A.M.
on ______, 2000. To the extent an insurance department authority with
jurisdiction over any Policy requires a later effective date for an assumption,
the effective date as to such Policy shall be in compliance with any such
requirement. One or more subsequent assumption closings and closing dates
("Subsequent Assumption Closing Dates") shall be scheduled by Reinsurer, with
the consent of Company, as of a month end following the satisfaction of all
conditions and insurance department approvals required to complete an assumption
of such Policy after the Initial Assumption Effective Date.
6. TERM
This Agreement shall become effective on the Initial Assumption
Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until such time as
all liabilities, including but not limited to liabilities with respect to the
Policies and the Company Reinsurance Agreements, have been discharged or have
otherwise expired. This Agreement shall be perpetual, permanent and
noncancellable by each of the Reinsurer and the Company, shall not be subject to
commutation, and neither the Reinsurer nor the Company shall have the right or
power to cause the reversion or recapture of the Policies of the Company
Reinsurance Agreements.
7. CONDITIONS AND REGULATORY APPROVALS
Prior to the Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Company and the
Reinsurer shall obtain all of the consents or approvals of the insurance
department of Texas and all other insurance regulatory authorities (whether
through positive notification of approval or non-objection) which are necessary
for the consummation on the Initial Assumption
6
Effective Date of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be
consummated on the Initial Assumption Effective Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, it is specifically understood and agreed to by the parties
that the approval of all insurance regulatory authorities other than Texas shall
be neither necessary nor a condition precedent to the consummation on the
Initial Assumption Effective Date of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement.
8. CERTIFICATE OF ASSUMPTION
8.1 The Reinsurer shall issue to each policyholder or contractholder
insured under a Policy listed on Schedule 1.1a and assumed hereunder a
certificate of assumption substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
"A" or in such form and containing such provisions as may be required by the
insurance regulatory authorities in a particular jurisdiction (the "Certificate
of Assumption"). Such Certificate of Assumption shall be issued by the Reinsurer
within thirty (30) days after the Initial Assumption Effective Date or on
Subsequent Assumption Closing Dates, whichever is applicable.
8.2 The Reinsurer shall issue to each Reinsured under a Company
Reinsurance Agreement a certificate of assumption or other appropriate evidence
of assignment satisfactory to the Reinsurer and each Reinsured.

Premiums and other income amounts due or paid on the Policies and the
Company Reinsurance Agreements on and after the Initial Assumption Effective
Date and any loan repayments (and interest payments thereon) made on the
Policies on or after the Initial Assumption Effective Date shall be the sole
property of the Reinsurer. From and after the Initial Assumption Effective Date,
all policyholders and contractholders under the Policies and all Reinsureds
under the Company Reinsurance Agreements shall pay all premiums and make any
loan repayments (and interest payments thereon) on such contracts and policies
and pay all income amounts directly to the Reinsurer. All monies, checks,
drafts, orders, postal notes or other instruments received by the Company after
the Initial Assumption Effective Date for such premiums, loan repayments and
other income amounts shall be transferred and delivered to the
7
Reinsurer, and any such instruments when so delivered shall bear all
endorsements required to effect such transfer and delivery. From and after the
Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Reinsurer shall be authorized, and hereby
is authorized, to endorse for payment any such instruments payable to, or to the
order of, the Company and received by the Reinsurer under this Paragraph 9.
10. PREMIUM TAXES
The Reinsurer shall pay all premium taxes as may be required by law
on premiums received with respect to the Policies on or after the Initial
Assumption Effective Date.
11. RESERVES
As of the Initial Assumption Effective Date and except as limited by
Paragraph 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, the Company hereby transfers and irrevocably
assigns to the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer hereby accepts, the total aggregate
policy and claims reserves for the Policies and the Company Reinsurance
Agreements. From and after the Initial Assumption Effective Date, the Reinsurer
shall maintain proper policy reserves, claims reserves and any other applicable
and appropriate reserves for all Policies and Company Reinsurance Agreements
hereunder and such reserves shall in no event be less than the aggregate
reserves required by the Insurance Department of any state or political unit
having jurisdiction over the Policies and Company Reinsurance Agreements after
the Initial Assumption Effective Date.
12. REINSURANCE CREDIT
With respect to the Reinsurance Assumed, the Reinsurer hereby
covenants and agrees to provide and maintain at all relevant times a letter of
credit, deposit or such other security as may be required under the terms of any
of the Company Reinsurance Agreements or the laws or regulations of any
jurisdiction and necessary for any Reinsured to take full statement credit
therefor.

defense at law or in equity to any action or claim instituted or made under any
Policy which could have been instituted or made by the Company had this
Agreement not been executed. All of the provisions, conditions, limitations, and
exclusions contained in the Policies shall remain in effect and be applicable in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Policies, except as they may be
specifically amended by the Reinsurer after the Initial Assumption Effective
Date; provided, however, any such amendments shall not impose any additional
liability on the Company under the Policies.
14. RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING
14.1 The Company shall promptly transfer and deliver to the Reinsurer
all of its original statistical and sales data, records, papers, documents,
books, memoranda and files pertaining to the Policies (referred to collectively
as the "Records"). The Company reserves the right to keep copies of any Records.

information with respect to the Policies sufficient to enable each to prepare
annual or other required financial statements.

15.1 The Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company against and hold it
harmless from, (j) all liabilities arising with respect to the Policies and the
Company Reinsurance Agreements and (ii) all other losses, claims, damages and
liabilities and shall reimburse the Company for all expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys's fees)
as incurred, that are based upon or arise out of (x) the breach or alleged
breach of any obligation of the Reinsurer provided for in the Agreement or (y)
the failure or alleged failure by the Reinsurer to discharge any obligations of
the Company to the extent that the same are assumed by the Reinsurer pursuant to
this Agreement.
15.2 The Company shall indemnify the Reinsurer against, and hold it
harmless from, all losses claims, damages and liabilities and shall reimburse

compromise or settlement; provided, however, that no costs incurred by the

Reinsurer does not elect to defend any such claim or demand, the Company or any
of its officers, directors, affiliates, successors or assigns, as appropriate,
may do so, but shall have no obligation to do so. The Reinsurer shall not be
liable for any settlement or any claim or demand, which it is defending,
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final

shall have the right to assume the control of the defense, compromise or
settlement thereof at its own expense, with employment of counsel satisfactory
to the Reinsurer, provided that any compromise or settlement shall be approved
by the Reinsurer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the
Company assumes control, the Reinsurer shall have the right to participate in
such defense, compromise or settlement; provided, however, that no costs

A. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and
the Reinsurer shall enter into an Assumption and Reinsurance Agreement pursuant
to which the Company shall transfer a substantial portion of its assets and
liabilities, including but not limited to policy liabilities, to the Reinsurer
(the "Assumption and Reinsurance Agreement"). Capitalized terms not defined in

B. The Reinsurer has agreed to assume and coinsure, on a 100%
coinsurance basis, all Interim Policies and Rejected Policies, as defined in the
Assumption and Reinsurance Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, agreements
and understandings hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Reinsurer mutually
agree as follows:
1. BUSINESS COINSURED
1.1 The Company hereby cedes to the Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer
hereby coinsures, 100% of the Policy Liabilities (as defined in Paragraph 1.2
below) with respect to each Interim Policy and each Rejected Policy. The Interim
Policies and Rejected Policies shall be deemed to have been coinsured as of the
Initial Assumption Effective Date and the coinsurance provided by the Reinsurer
pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected automatically as of the Initial
Assumption Effective Date upon execution of this Agreement by both the Reinsurer
and the Company.
1.2 For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Policy Liabilities"
means the gross liability of the Company, before deducting cessions under the
Company's reinsurance programs, on the Interim Policies and Rejected Policies,
including but not limited to all consequential, exemplary or punitive damages

1.3 All Policy Liabilities for which the Reinsurer is liable under
this Agreement shall include all claims which could be made against the Company
with respect to the Policies and the Reinsurance Assumed, whether on the basis
of contract, misrepresentation, estoppel, reliance, waiver or otherwise,
subject, however, in all respects to the same terms, conditions,
interpretations, waivers, modifications, alterations and cancellations as the
Interim Policies and Rejected Policies. The Reinsurer accepts and assumes the
Policy Liabilities subject to all defenses, setoffs and counterclaims to which
the Company would be entitled with respect to the Interim Policies and Rejected
Policies. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that no such
defenses, setoffs or counterclaims are waived by the execution of this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and
that on the Initial Assumption Effective Date the Reinsurer shall be fully
subrogated to all such defenses, setoffs and counterclaims.
1.4 In the event that the Company is required to obtain security for
the liabilities ceded pursuant to this Agreement in order to take full statement
credit for the coinsurance provided hereunder, the Reinsurer hereby convenants
and agrees to provide and maintain at all relevant times for the benefit of the
Company a letter of credit, deposit or such other security as may be required
under the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction.

by the Reinsurer of all of the Interim Policies and Rejected Policies, the
Company shall transfer to the Reinsurer an amount equal to the outstanding
statutory reserves as of the Adjustment Date

(defined below) on all Rejected Policies (the "Consideration") For purposes of
this Agreement, the term "Adjustment Date" shall mean that date which is within
thirty (30) days following the date on which all policies have been accepted or
rejected for transfer under the Assumption and Reinsurance Agreement, or are
deemed to have been accepted or rejected for transfer, to the Reinsurer, and
which date shall be mutually acceptable to the parties. The Consideration shall
be transferred by the Company to the Reinsurer by a mutually acceptable means.
2.2 The Reinsurer is entitled to 100% of all premiums and other
consideration received after the Initial Effective Assumption Date by the
Company or the Reinsurer with respect to the Interim Policies and the Rejected
Policies, which amounts shall be paid to the Reinsurer on a daily basis as
provided in the Service and Administration Agreement executed between the
Reinsurer and the Company ("Service Agreement") concurrent with the execution of
this Agreement. The Reinsurer shall reimburse the Company for 100% of all costs
with respect to the Interim Policies and the Rejected Policies, including,
without limitation, claims payments and benefits, surrenders, return premiums,
withdrawals, premium taxes, boards, bureaus, guarantee fund assessments, agents'
and general agents' commissions and all amounts payable as Expenses as defined
in the Service Agreement (in the aggregate, the "Expenses"). The Expenses shall
be reimbursed on a daily basis as provided in the Service Agreement. It is the
intention of the parties that neither gain nor loss be incurred by the Company
on the Interim Policies and the Rejected Policies coinsured hereunder.
3. TERM
This Agreement shall become effective on the Initial Assumption

department of Texas and all other insurance regulatory authorities (whether

transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated on the Initial
Assumption Effective Date.
5. RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING
5.1 The Company shall promptly transfer and deliver to the Reinsurer
copies of all of its original statistical and sales data, records, papers,
documents, books, memoranda and files pertaining to the Interim Policies and the
Rejected Policies (referred to collectively as the "Records"). The Company and
the Reinsurer each agree to provide the other party all data and information
with respect to the Interim Policies and the Rejected Policies sufficient to

hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

payable hereunder shall be payable directly to the liquidator, receiver or
statutory successor of the Company, without diminution because of the insolvency
of the Company.
4
6.2 In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator,
receiver or statutory successor shall give the Reinsurer written notice of the
pendency of a claim on a policy coinsured hereunder within a reasonable time
after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of
any such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose in the
name of the Company (its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor), but at
its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any
defense or defenses which the Reinsurer may deem available to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor.
6.3 The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable,
subject to court approval and subject to applicable law, against the Company as
part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the
benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense
undertaken by the Reinsurer. Where two or more reinsurers are participating in
the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose a defense or
defenses to any such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with
the terms of the reinsurance agreement as though such expenses have been
incurred by the Company.

shall enter into a service agreement pursuant to which the Reinsurer shall
