2. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Loan at a per

sum of July 1, 1999; provided, however, that in no event shall any principal or
interest payment in respect of the Loan be made except in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 4 and 6 hereof; and provided, further, that no default in
respect of the Loan shall have occurred or be deemed to have occurred if any
principal or interest payment that would otherwise be due and payable is not
made by reason of the provision of Sections 4 and 6 hereof.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, repayment of
the principal of, and payment of accrued interest on, the Loan shall only be
made out of free and divisible surplus of the Borrower and all such amounts to
be paid or repaid will be subject to the prior approval of the Superintendent of
Insurance of the State of New York.
5. The Loan made pursuant to this Agreement shall not form a part of the
Borrower's legal liabilities and shall not be a basis of any setoff, but, until
repaid, all statements published or filed with the Superintendent of Insurance
of the State of New York by Borrower shall show, as a footnote thereto, the
amount thereof then remaining unpaid.
6. In the event of the liquidation of the Borrower, repayment of any
outstanding principal balance of the Loan and payment of any accrued and unpaid
interest then due and owing shall be paid to Lender out of any assets remaining
after the payment of all policy obligations and all other liabilities of the
Borrower but before distribution of assets to shareholders.
