THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is dated effective as of
October 9, 2007, and entered into by and among SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, a Utah corporation ("Security National"), CAPITAL RESERVE LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, a Missouri corporation ("Capital Reserve"), and the
shareholders of Capital Reserve that have executed the AGREEMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS
OF CAPITAL RESERVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY TO SELL SHARES IN STOCK PURCHASE
TRANSACTION in the form attached as Annex I (the "Shareholders").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, Security National, Capital Reserve, and the Shareholders
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
1.1 Sale and Purchase of the Shares. At the Closing, as hereinafter
defined, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Shareholders shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to Security
National, and Security National shall purchase from the Shareholders, 3,564
shares of common stock of Capital Reserve (the "Capital Reserve Common Stock"),
representing all of the issued and outstanding stock and securities of Capital
Reserve owned the Shareholders, free and clear of all liens, claims, options,
proxies, voting agreements, charges and encumbrances. Security National, Capital
Reserve, the Shareholders hereby acknowledge and agree that regulatory approval
from the Utah and Missouri insurance departments for the transaction described
in this Section 1.1 must be obtained prior to Closing, as defined in Section 2.1
below.
1.2 Purchase Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, in reliance upon Capital Reserve's representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants contained herein, and in consideration of the sale,
transfer, assignment and delivery of the Capital Reserve Common Stock as herein
provided, Security National shall provide the following purchase consideration
(the "Purchase Consideration") to the Shareholders:
(a) Cash in U.S. dollars by certified funds or wire transfer payable
to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis to the number of shares of Capital
Reserve Common Stock held by the Shareholders in an amount equal to (i) the
Capital and Surplus of Capital Reserve as of September 30, 2007 (as set
forth on page 3, line 38, column 1 of the September 30, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) plus (ii) the Interest Maintenance Reserve (as set
forth on page 3, line 9.4, column 1 of the September 30, 2007 Statutory
Quarterly Statement), plus (iii) the Asset Valuation Reserve (as set forth
on page 3, line 24.1, column 1 of the September 30, 2007 Statutory
Quarterly Report), plus (iv) $1,037,967, less the amount of the adjustments
in Sections 1.2(b), (c), (d), and (e) below;
(b) The Shareholders represent and acknowledge that on June 8, 2007,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ("▇▇▇▇▇▇▇"), a former employee of Capital Reserve, filed an
action against Capital Reserve in the Circuit Court of ▇▇▇▇ County,
Missouri (Case No. 07AC-CC00513) (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation") for unpaid
bonuses allegedly due her. The complaint claims payment for unpaid bonuses
is due in the amount of $1,486,045, plus interest at the statutory rate of
9% per annum through June 8, 2007 of $265,601, plus interest on the unpaid
principal amount of 9% per annum from June 8, 2007 until the judgment is
paid in full, and attorney's fees and other costs incurred in the
litigation. If the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation has not been completely resolved
prior to Closing by the court rendering a final judgment and the applicable
appeal time having expired or the court entering an order dismissing the
complaint with prejudice pursuant to a settlement, the Shareholders agree
at Closing to deposit $1,800,000 of the Purchase Consideration into an
escrow account (the "Escrow Account") with an escrow agent mutually
acceptable to Security National and the Shareholders. The funds shall
remain in the Escrow Account until the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation has been
completely resolved by the court rendering a final judgment and the
applicable appeal time having expired or the court entering an order
dismissing the complaint with prejudice. If Capital Reserve or any of its
officers, directors, employees or agents is determined to be liable in the
litigation or if Capital Reserve settles the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation, the escrow
agent shall pay any amounts owing to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a result of such judgment
or settlement, including but not limited to interest, penalties, attorney's
fees, and related expenses from the funds in the Escrow Account. In
addition, the escrow agent shall pay the cost of defending Capital Reserve
in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation, including any attorney's fees and related
expenses, from the funds in the Escrow Account. The escrow agent shall pay
any remaining amounts from the $1,800,000 deposit in the Escrow Account to
the Shareholders on a pro rata basis to the number of shares of Capital
Reserve Common Stock held by the Shareholders, after (i) the payment of any
judgment or settlement in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation; (ii) the payment of the
costs in defending Capital Reserve in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation, including
attorney's fees and related expenses; and (iii) the payment of the amount
in which the Adjusted Capital and Surplus of Capital Reserve, as defined in
Section 1.2(c) below, on September 30, 2007 exceeds the Adjusted Capital
and Surplus of Capital Reserve on the Closing Date as set forth in Section
1.2(c) below. The Shareholders additionally agree to deliver a signed
indemnification agreement to Capital Reserve and Security National at
Closing, in which the Shareholders agree to indemnify Capital Reserve and
Security National (x) for any payments made by Capital Reserve following
the Closing relating to a judgment or settlement in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation,
(y) for any attorney's fees and related expenses incurred by Capital
Reserve in defending itself in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation, and (z) for the
amount in which the Adjusted Capital and Surplus of Capital Reserve on
September 30, 2007 exceeds the Adjusted Capital and Surplus on the Closing
Date. The Shareholders shall be solely responsible for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Litigation following the Closing, including all decisions related to
defending Capital Reserve in the litigation;
(c) The Purchase Consideration shall be adjusted by the difference
between the amount of the Capital and Surplus of Capital Reserve plus the
Interest Maintenance Reserve and the Asset Valuation Reserve of Capital
Reserve (the "Adjusted Capital and Surplus") as of September 30, 2007 and
the amount of Adjusted Capital and Surplus of Capital Reserve on the
Closing Date. If the amount of the Adjusted Capital and Surplus on the
Closing Date is less than the amount of Adjusted Capital and Surplus on
September 30, 2007, such difference shall be paid to Security National from
the funds in the Escrow Account as defined in Section 1.2(b) above within
seven (7) days from the date such determination is made. If the amount of
Adjusted Capital and Surplus as of September 30, 2007 is less than the
amount of Adjusted Capital and Surplus on the Closing Date, Security
National agrees to pay such difference to the Shareholders on a pro rata
basis to the number of shares of Capital Reserve Common Stock held by the
Shareholders within seven (7) days from the date such difference is
determined. If the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Litigation is completely resolved prior to
Closing, as defined in Section 1.2(b) above, the Shareholders agree at
Closing to deposit a certain amount of the Purchase Consideration into an
escrow account (the "Escrow Account") with an escrow agent mutually
acceptable to Security National and the Shareholders, such amount equal to
$200,000 plus the settlement amount paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to settle the
litigation (the "Deposit Amount"). The Deposit Amount shall be used to pay
the amount, if any, in which the Adjusted Capital and Surplus of Capital
Reserve as of September 30, 2007 exceeds the Adjusted Capital and Surplus
on the Closing Date. The escrow agent shall pay any remaining amount from
the Deposit Amount to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis following the
payment of the amount, if any, in which the Adjusted Capital and Surplus as
of September 30, 2007 exceeds the Adjusted Capital and Surplus on the
Closing Date;
(d) An amount equal to $316,649 of the Purchase Consideration shall be
paid to the Shareholders in the form of real estate and improvements
thereon located at 812 and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
(the "Real Estate"), which is listed as an asset on the financial
statements of Capital Reserve. Title to the Real Estate shall be
transferred to the Shareholders at Closing and the Purchase Consideration
shall be reduced by $316,649, the book value of the Real Estate as
reflected on the financial statements of Capital Reserve;
(e) The Shareholders represent and acknowledge that they are not
entitled to receive any funds in the Asset Adequacy Reserve (as set forth
on Exhibit 5, page 12 line 0700005, column 1 of the December 31, 2006
Statutory Annual Statement) under the terms of this Agreement or as part of
the transaction. The Shareholders represent and warrant that there are
approximately $700,000 in the Asset Adequacy Reserve and such funds shall
not be included as part of the Purchase Consideration. If any funds in the
Asset Adequacy Reserve are released or distributed prior to Closing, the
amount of such funds released or distributed shall be deducted from the
amount of the Purchase Consideration to be provided to the Shareholders at
Closing. Security National shall have received a certificate at Closing
signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
Capital Reserve certifying as to the amount of funds in the Asset Adequacy
Reserve as of the Closing Date; and
(f) The Shareholders represent and acknowledge that on October 31,
2005, Capital Reserve filed an action against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a former
President and Chief Executive Officer of Capital Reserve, and his wife
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the Circuit Court of ▇▇▇▇ County, Missouri (Case No.
05AC-CC01025) (the "Warden Litigation"). The complaint claims damages in
excess of $25,000 for breach of fiduciary duty by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and
misappropriation of funds by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. On July 9,
2007, judgment was entered against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the amount of
$551,341.62. At Closing, Capital Reserve agrees to transfer and assign to
the Shareholders any and all of the interest in and rights to the Warden
Litigation, including the right to receive the proceeds from the judgment,
together with any payments of interest, attorney's fees, and related
expenses of the litigation, said proceeds to be paid to the Shareholders on
a pro rata basis to the number of shares of Capital Reserve Common Stock
held by the Stockholders. The Shareholders further agree to be responsible
for the payment of any costs associated with legal representation of
Capital Reserve in the Warden Litigation subsequent to the Closing,
including but limited to any attorney's fees and related expenses. The
Shareholders shall be solely responsible for the Warden Litigation
following the Closing, including all decisions related to collection of the
judgment against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the litigation. Along with the
transfer of rights to pursue and receive the proceeds from the judgment
rendered in the Warden Litigation, Security National also transfers and
assigns to the Shareholders all rights and causes of action related to any
bonds that were in effect at the time of the wrongdoing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ as alleged in the complaint. The shareholders shall have the right
to pursue the bonding companies to recoup the losses incurred as a result
of any defalcation and fraud in the Warden Litigation.
1.3 Delivery of Shares. At the Closing Date, the Shareholders shall
deliver to Security National certificates with stock power executed in
blank representing the outstanding shares of Capital Reserve Common Stock
required by Section 1.2 hereof.

under applicable law.
3.4 Dividends, Stock Purchases, Etc. Since December 31, 2006, Capital
Reserve has not (i) declared or paid any dividends (either in cash, property or
its stock of any class) upon, or made or become committed to make any other
distribution with respect to, or purchased, redeemed or otherwise beneficially
acquired any of its outstanding capital stock of any class, or become committed
so to do; (ii) split up, combined or reclassified any of its outstanding capital
stock of any class, or become committed so to do; or (iii) issued or become
committed to issue any additional capital stock of any class (whether or not

authorized stock) or any options, rights or warrants to acquire, or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for, or which otherwise confer upon the holder
or holders thereof any right to acquire, any shares of capital stock of any
class or any other security or debt of Capital Reserve.
3.5 Financial Statements. Capital Reserve has furnished or made available
to Security National or will furnish or make available to Security National
within ten days from the date of this Agreement Capital Reserve's audited
financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, and
2006, including balance sheets and the related audited statements of income,
cash flow and stockholders' equity, and the related management letters
(collectively, the "Audited Financial Statements"). Additionally, Capital
Reserve has furnished or made available to Security National or will furnish or
make available to Security National within ten days from the date of this
Agreement Capital Reserve's unaudited financial statements as of and for the
quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, and September 30, 2007, including
unaudited balance sheets of Capital Reserve as at March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007,
and September 30, 2007, and the related unaudited statements of income, cash
flow and stockholders' equity (collectively, the "Unaudited Financial
Statements"). The Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited Financial
Statements provided previously to Security National are listed in Schedule 3.5
of the Capital Reserve Disclosure Schedule. The Audited Financial Statements and
the Unaudited Financial Statements, are, collectively, referred to as the
"Capital Reserve Financial Statements." The Capital Reserve Financial Statements
have been or will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) consistently applied and fairly present the financial position
of Capital Reserve as at the dates thereof and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended. In preparing the Unaudited Financial
Statements, there have been no changes in Capital Reserve's GAAP or statutory
accounting policies or procedures used in preparing the December 31, 2006
audited financial statements.
3.6 Annual Insurance Statements.
(a) Capital Reserve has provided Security National with (i) all
annual statements, certificates and applications to the Missouri or
any other insurance commissioner or other Governmental Entity, which
Capital Reserve has filed with or submitted with respect to years
ending on or after December 31, 2004, and such documentation provided
previously is listed in Schedule 3.6 of the Capital Reserve Disclosure
Schedule, and (ii) all reports of examination issued by such insurance
commissioners, regulatory authorities or other Governmental Entity
regarding Capital Reserve on or after December 31, 2004, and such
documentation provided previously is listed also in Schedule 3.6.
(b) Such filings or submissions in 3.6 (a) were in substantial
compliance with applicable law when filed and, as of their respective
dates, did not contain any materially false statements of fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements set forth
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made; no material deficiencies have been asserted by
any insurance commissioner, insurance department or other Governmental
Entity with respect to such statements; Capital Reserve has provided
Security National with copies of all material written responses with
respect to comments from any Governmental Entity concerning such
filings, submissions or reports of examination since December 31, 2003
and such written responses are described in Schedule 3.6 of the
Capital Reserve Disclosure Schedule, and prior to the date of this
Agreement, no fines or penalties have been imposed on Capital Reserve
by any Governmental Entity; and no deposits (other than in the
ordinary course of business) have been made by Capital Reserve with
any Governmental Entity.
(c) The statutory financial statements for Capital Reserve as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 (i) fairly
present the statutory financial condition of Capital Reserve at such
dates and (ii) have been prepared in accordance with the required or
permitted statutory insurance accounting requirements or practices
under the insurance laws of Missouri, except as expressly set forth or
disclosed in the notes, exhibits or schedules thereto. The amounts
shown in such statements of account on aggregate reserves for life or
annuity policies and contracts, aggregate reserves for accident and
health policies, net deferred and uncollected premiums and all policy
and contract claims liability as of the end of each such year, are
computed in accordance with accepted actuarial and industry practices,
are fairly stated in accordance with those called for in applicable
insurance policy provisions, meet the requirements of the insurance
laws of Missouri, make a sufficient provision for all unmatured
obligations of Capital Reserve provided for under the terms of its
policies and are consistent with the assumptions previously employed.
Adequate provision has been made for all actuarial reserves and
related statement items which ought to be established.
3.7 Insurance Business.
(a) Security National has been provided true and complete copies
of all contracts, arrangements, treaties, understandings and
agreements of (or related to) Capital Reserve with any party with
respect to reinsurance currently in force and such documents and
information are listed in Schedule 3.7 of the Capital Reserve
Disclosure Schedule attached hereto. All policies assumed by Capital
Reserve were assumed under agreements submitted to and approved by all
relevant regulatory authorities and are valid, in force, and not
subject to recapture (except at Capital Reserve's option), and are
fairly reflected on the Capital Reserve Financial Statements. No party
thereto is in material default with respect to any provision thereof
and no such agreement contains any provision providing that the other
party thereto may terminate same by reason of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other provisions which would be
altered or otherwise become applicable by reason of such transactions.
(b) All policies of insurance issued or assumed by Capital
Reserve as now in force are, to the extent required under applicable
law, on forms submitted to and approved by the applicable
jurisdiction's insurance commissioner. No policy holder or related
group of policy holders which, singularly or in the aggregate,
accounted for 5% of the gross revenues of Capital Reserve considered
as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2006 has, after December
31, 2006, terminated or, to the best knowledge of the Capital Reserve,
threatened to terminate its relationship with Capital Reserve. The
contracts between Capital Reserve and its agents, managers or brokers
are valid, binding and in full force and effect in accordance with
their terms. Capital Reserve is not in material default with respect
thereto and no such contract contains any provision providing that the

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Obligation of the Shareholders to Indemnify. Subject to the time
limitations set forth in Section 10.1 below, the Shareholders agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Security National and its respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and
assigns, from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
deficiencies, costs and expenses, including without limitation interest,
penalties and attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, the "Losses" and
singularly, a "Loss"), based upon, arising out of or otherwise related to any
inaccuracy in or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of Capital Reserve or the Shareholders contained in this Agreement or
in any document or other papers delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including
the Capital Reserve Financial Statements, and in respect of any third party
claim made based upon facts alleged which, if true, would have constituted any
such inaccuracy or breach. For purposes of this Agreement, Security National
shall be deemed to have suffered a Loss if and to the extent that such Loss has
been suffered by Capital Reserve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time
limitations set forth in Section 10.1 below do not apply to the Shareholders'
tax obligations set forth in Section 3.18 hereof.
9.2 Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
(a) Notice of Asserted Liability. Promptly after receipt by any person
entitled to indemnity under this Agreement (the "Indemnitee") of notice of
any demand, claim or circumstances which, with the lapse of time, would or
might give rise to a claim or the commencement or threatened commencement
of any action, proceeding or investigation (an "Asserted Liability") that
may result in a Loss, the Indemnitee may, at its option, give notice
thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the Shareholders (the "Indemnifying
Party"). The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in
reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimate, if necessary
and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by
the Indemnitee.
(b) Opportunity To Defend. The Indemnifying Party may elect to
compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any
Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or
defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within thirty (30) days after the
Claims Notice is given or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability
so requires, notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the
Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in
the compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If the
Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the Asserted
Liability, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein
provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the
Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the
Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the
other, provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall
not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnitee and the
Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense of
such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any
claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any
books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or
appropriate for such defense.
(c) Disputes with Third Parties. Anything in this Section 9.2(c) to
the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any Asserted Liability by any
supplier, distributor, agent, broker, shareholder, franchisee, customer or
other third party doing business with Capital Reserve prior to the Closing
in connection with which Security National may make a claim against the
Shareholders for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2(c), Security
National may, at its option, give a Claims Notice with respect thereto but,
unless Security National and the Indemnifying Party otherwise agree,
Security National shall have the exclusive right at its option to defend
any such matter, subject to the duty of Security National to consult with
the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in connection with such defense
and provided that no such matter shall be compromised or settled by
Security National without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to recommend in good faith Security National proposals
to compromise or settle claims brought by a supplier, agent, or customer,
and Security National agrees to present such proposed compromises or
settlements to such supplier, distributor, shareholder, franchisee or
customer. All amounts required to be paid in connection with any such
Asserted Liability pursuant to the determination of any court, governmental
or regulatory body or arbitrator, and all amounts required to be paid in
connection with any such compromise or settlement consented to by the
Indemnifying Party, shall be borne and paid by the Indemnifying Party. The
parties agree to cooperate fully with one another in the defense,
compromise or settlement of any Asserted Liability. In the event any
compromise, settlement or judgment amount includes amounts resulting from
frivolous or groundless claims or defenses made by Indemnitee, the
Indemnifying Party shall not bear the portion of the amount to be paid
relating to such frivolous or groundless claims.

hereto shall return all writings, documents and materials containing

event that either party hereto becomes legally required to disclose the other
party's Confidential Material, it shall provide such other party with prompt
written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure. In the event that a

Confidential Material subject to such requirement, such party agrees to furnish
only that portion of the Confidential Material that it is legally required to
furnish and, where appropriate, agrees to use its best efforts to obtain
assurances that such Confidential Material will be accorded confidential
treatment.

other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or in
