      STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT

      


      


      THIS
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is dated effective as of August 13,
2008, and entered into by and among SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a
Utah corporation (“Security National”), SOUTHERN SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, INC., a Mississippi corporation (“Southern Security”), and the
shareholders of Southern Security that have executed the AGREEMENT BY
SHAREHOLDERS OF SOUTHERN SECURITY 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, Southern Security, 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, 50,000
shares of voting Class A common stock and 450,000 shares of non-voting Class B
common stock of Southern Security (the "Southern Security Common Stock”),
representing all of the issued and outstanding stock and securities of Southern
Security, free and clear of all liens, claims, options, proxies, voting
agreements, charges and encumbrances.  Security National, Southern
Security, and the Shareholders hereby acknowledge and agree that regulatory
approval from the Utah and Mississippi 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 Southern Security’s representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants contained herein, and in consideration of the sale,
transfer, assignment and delivery of the Southern Security Common Stock as
herein provided, Security National agrees to 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 Southern Security Common Stock
held by the Shareholders in an amount equal to (i) the Capital and Surplus of
Southern Security as of the date that Security National assumes Administrative
Control over Southern Security, as defined in Section 1.4 below (as set forth on
page 3, line 38, column 1 of the Statutory Statement, which shall include any
capital contributions that were made subsequent to June 30, 2008, including the
July subsequent event of $70,380 as an admissible asset), plus (ii) the
Interest Maintenance Reserve as of the Administrative Control Date (as set forth
on page 3, line 9.4, column 1 of the Statutory Statement), plus (iii) the Asset
Valuation Reserve as of the Administrative Control Date (as set forth on page 3,
line 24.1, column 1 of the Statutory Statement), plus (iv) the amount
of the adjustment in Section 1.2(b), less the amount of
the adjustments in Sections 1.2(c), (d), (e) and (f) below.  (It
should be noted for purposes of illustration that the Capital and Surplus,
Interest Maintenance Reserve, and Asset Valuation Reserve of Southern Security
as of June 30, 2008 was $1,154,418.00.  Additionally, assuming the
payment to Southern Security of the ceding commission pursuant to the
Reinsurance Agreement, as required under Section 1.4 below, the Capital and
Surplus would increase by approximately $1,500,000.  Accordingly, the
Capital and Surplus, Interest Maintenance Reserve, and Asset Valuation Reserve
of Southern Security at the Administrative Control Date could be approximately
$2,655,418.00.  This illustration is not intended to be binding upon
the parties to this Agreement  and is to be used only as an
example.  Thus, there can be no assurance that the actual payments
under this Section 1.2(a) will be equal to the amounts set forth in this
illustration.);

      (b)           The
Purchase Consideration shall also include an allowance not to exceed $100,000
(the “Allowance”) that Security National agrees to provide toward Southern
Security’s expected losses in the second quarter ended June 30,
2008.  This Allowance to be provided by Security National shall in
nowise exceed $100,000 even if the actual losses experienced by Southern
Security in the second quarter, or in any subsequent quarter, are in excess of
$100,000;

      


      (c)           The
Shareholders agree at Closing to deposit $175,000 (the "Deposit Amount") of the
Purchase Consideration into an interest bearing escrow account (the "Escrow
Account") with an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) mutually acceptable to
Security National and the Shareholders.  The Deposit Amount shall be
used to pay the amount of any adjustments required under the terms of this
Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall be instructed to pay any remaining
amount from the Deposit Amount to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis following
the payment of any adjustments;

      


      (d)           The
Shareholders further agree at Closing to deposit $537,000 of the Purchase
Consideration (the "Real Estate Deposit Amount") into the interest bearing
Escrow Account.  This amount represents approximately 50% of the total
outstanding balances on the promissory notes (the “Notes”) that Southern
Security has entered into with Ray-Nowell Funeral Home, Inc. and Wade Nowell
Funeral Homes, Inc., which Notes are secured by funeral home properties in
Senatobia, Mississippi and Collins, Mississippi, respectively.  The
Shareholders agree to grant to Security National a security interest in the Real
Estate Deposit Amount to secure payment of these Notes.  Except as set
forth below, beginning on September 1, 2009, and continuing on the same date of
each year thereafter, Security National shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
release to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis an amount equal to the combined
principal reduction of said Notes that has occurred during the preceding August
1 through July 31 period, until such time as the Real Estate Deposit Amount,
including any accrued interest thereon, has been paid to the
Shareholders.  However, no payments shall be made to the Shareholders
from the Real Estate Deposit Amount if either of the Notes is in
default.  In addition, in order for any funds to be released to the
Shareholders as a result of any prepayment of either of the Notes, both Notes
must be prepaid by an equal percentage, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be
instructed to release to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis, an amount equal
to the combined principal reduction of said Notes resulting from such
prepayments.  In the event there is a default in the payment of either
of the Notes, Security National shall have the right to foreclose on the Note in
default pursuant to the terms thereunder and shall be entitled to receive
payment from the Real Estate Deposit Amount in an amount equal to the full
amount of any losses and expenses incurred by Security National as a result of
such default and the enforcement of its rights pursuant thereto.  The
Shareholders and Security National agree that the Shareholders have the right,
but not the obligation, to refinance the existing debt on the
notes.  The Shareholders have informed Security National that they
contemplate a refinance of the notes by providing a $750,000 first mortgage and
satisfying the remaining debt on the notes through a second mortgage to be
funded through the sale proceeds to be paid to the Shareholders, as part of the
purchase consideration paid to the Shareholders at closing;

      (e)           Part
of the Purchase Consideration shall be paid to the Shareholders in the form of
the Nowell Legacy Trust, which is listed as an asset on the financial statements
of Southern Security.  Southern Security agrees to transfer its
interest in the Nowell Legacy Trust (as set forth on page 2, line 2302, column
3, of the Statutory Statements) to the Shareholders at Closing and the Purchase
Consideration to be paid by Security National shall be reduced by the admitted
value of the Nowell Legacy Trust as reflected on the financial statements of
Southern Security as of the date that Security National assumes “Administrative
Control”, as defined in Section 1.4 below; and

      


      (f)           Shareholders
warrant that properties shown on the annual statement are owned free and clear,
and that the loans shown in the annual statement conform with the rules and
regulations of Mississippi for admissibility.  Shareholders shall
furnish all usual and customary documentation to Security National in support of
this warranty.

      


      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 Southern Security Common Stock required
by Section 1.1 hereof.

      


      1.4       Administrative
Control of Operations.  Contemporaneous
with the execution of this Agreement, Security National and Southern Security
each agree to enter into a Reinsurance Agreement, wherein Security National
shall reinsure all of the in-force and future insurance liabilities of Southern
Security.  In addition, Security National shall assume complete and
total administrative control of all of the then current and future insurance
related business operations of Southern Security at such time as Security
National notifies Southern Security, in writing, that it is capable of assuming
control of those functions (hereinafter, “Administrative
Control”).  The determination of when Security National is capable of
assuming Administrative Control over the insurance related business operations
of Southern Security shall be made by Security National in its sole discretion,
no later than September 1st.  Security National shall take
Administrative Control as soon as practicable and Southern Security shall fully
cooperate to assure an efficient and effective transfer of
control.  Administrative Control shall include, but is not limited to,
control over all day-to-day business expenses, trade debt, locations of business
operations, employees, employee compensation, compensation, if any, to officers
and directors, cash flow, deposits, and bank accounts.  Upon assuming
Administrative Control, Security National shall not only be given access to the
records, files, and computer systems of Southern Security, but shall also have
the right to transfer or move such records, files, and computer systems to other
offices or locations in which Security National transacts
business.  The transfer of Administrative Control to Security National
shall not relieve Southern Security of its duties to prepare and file, at its
own expense, its tax returns, periodic reports and related statements with the
Mississippi Insurance Department, and all other governmental reports and filings
until the date of Closing.  Security National will provide information
within its control to Southern Security to assist with these
filings.

      2.1       Closing.  The

Security is qualified as a foreign corporation.  Southern Security has
no subsidiaries.  Southern Security has no other direct or indirect
equity interest in or loans to any partnership, corporation, joint venture,

      (a)           Southern
Security has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by Southern Security
of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Southern Security,
including approval by its Boards of Directors and the shareholders. This
Agreement shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Southern
Security enforceable against Southern Security in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and except that the availability of equitable remedies is subject to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be
brought.

      


      (b)           To
the best knowledge of Southern Security, the execution and delivery of this
Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, will not, conflict with or result in any violation of any material
statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, decree or ordinance applicable
to Southern Security or its properties or assets, nor will it conflict with or
result in any breach or default (with or without the giving of notice or the
lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any material obligation or to the loss of any
material benefit under, or result in the creation of a material lien, charge or
encumbrance on any of the properties or assets of Southern Security pursuant to
(i) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Southern
Security or (ii) any material agreement, contract, note, mortgage, indenture,
lease instrument, permit, concession, franchise, registration or license to
which Southern Security is a party or by which Southern Security or any of its
properties or assets may be bound or affected.

      


      (c)           To

Security or the consummation by Southern Security of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, except for (i) filing required documents with
the relevant authorities of states in which Southern Security is qualified to do
business, (ii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
qualifications as may be required under state insurance laws as identified in
the Southern Security Disclosure Schedule and (iii) such consents, approvals,
orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be
required under the laws of any foreign country, which, if not obtained or made,
would not have a material adverse effect on the Business Condition of Southern
Security.  All approvals of Southern Security's Board of Directors and
Shareholders as required by applicable law have been obtained and are in force
and effect and no dissenters' rights have been exercised under applicable
law.

      3.4       Dividends,
Stock Purchases, Etc.  Since December 31, 2007, Southern
Security has not (i) declared or paid any dividends (either in cash, property or

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
from treasury stock, heretofore authorized but unissued stock, or newly
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 Southern Security.  In
addition, Southern Security shall not, without Security National’s written
consent, take or attempt to take any of the actions described in this Section

      3.5       Financial
Statements.  Southern Security 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 Southern Security's audited
financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and
2007, 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,
Southern Security 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 Southern Security's unaudited financial statement as of and for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008, including the unaudited balance sheet of
Southern Security as at June 30, 2008, 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 Southern Security Disclosure
Schedule.  The Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited
Financial Statements, are, collectively, referred to as the "Southern Security
Financial Statements."  The Southern Security Financial Statements
have been or will be prepared in accordance with statutory accounting principles
(STAT) consistently applied and fairly present the financial position of
Southern Security 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 Southern Security's STAT or
statutory accounting policies or procedures used in preparing the December 31,
2007 audited financial statements.

      


      3.6       Annual
Insurance Statements.

      


      (a)           Southern
Security has provided Security National with (i) all annual statements,
certificates and applications to the Mississippi or any other insurance
commissioner or other Governmental Entity, which Southern Security 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
Southern Security Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) all reports of examination
issued by such insurance commissioners, regulatory authorities or other
Governmental Entity regarding Southern Security 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; Southern Security 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, 2004 and such written
responses are described in Schedule 3.6 of the Southern Security Disclosure
Schedule, and prior to the date of this Agreement, no fines or penalties have
been imposed on Southern Security by any Governmental Entity; and no deposits
(other than in the ordinary course of business) have been made by Southern
Security with any Governmental Entity.

      


      (c)           The
statutory financial statements for Southern Security as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 (i) fairly present the statutory
financial condition of Southern Security 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 Mississippi,
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 Mississippi, make a
sufficient provision for all unmatured obligations of Southern Security 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)
Southern Security with any party with respect to reinsurance currently in force
and such documents and information are listed in Schedule 3.7 of the Southern
Security Disclosure Schedule attached hereto.  All policies assumed by
Southern Security 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 Southern Security's option), and are fairly reflected on
the Southern Security 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 Southern Security 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 Southern Security
considered as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2007 has, after December
31, 2007, terminated or, to the best knowledge of the Southern Security,
threatened to terminate its relationship with Southern Security.  The
contracts between Southern Security and its agents, managers or brokers are
valid, binding and in full force and effect in accordance with their
terms.  Southern Security is not in material default with respect
thereto and no such contract contains any provision providing that the other
party thereto may terminate the same by reason of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any other provision which would be altered or otherwise
become applicable by reason of such transactions.

      3.8       Compliance
with Law.  To the best knowledge of Southern Security, Southern
Security is in compliance with and has conducted its business so as to comply
with all laws, rules, regulations, judgments, decrees or orders of any
Governmental Entity applicable to their operations or with respect to which
compliance is a condition of engaging in the business thereof, except to the
extent that failure to comply could, individually or in the aggregate, not have
had and is not reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the
Business Condition of Southern Security.  There are no material
judgments, orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether
rendered by a court or administrative agency or by arbitration) against Southern
Security or against any of its properties or businesses.  Schedule 3.8
of the Southern Security Disclosure Schedule contains a summary of all material
violations of, or conflicts with, any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation,
ruling, order, judgment or decree, listed by each such Governmental Entity,
including any of the foregoing relating to any environmental or health
laws.

      


      3.9       No
Defaults.  To the best knowledge of Southern Security, Southern
Security is not, nor has it received notice that it is or would be with the
passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, (a) in violation of any
provision of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (b) in default or
violation of any term, condition or provision of (i) any judgment, decree,
order, injunction or stipulation applicable to Southern Security or (ii) any
agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease, instrument, permit,
registration, concession, franchise or license to which Southern Security is a
party or by which Southern Security or any of its properties or assets may be
bound, which violation or default could, individually or in the aggregate, have
a material adverse effect on the Business Condition of Southern
Security.

      


      3.10     Litigation.  There
is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending or,
to the best knowledge of Southern Security, threatened, against Southern
Security that, individually or in the aggregate, could be reasonably expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Business Condition of Southern Security,
or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or
materially delay any of the transactions contemplated
hereby.  Schedule 3.10 of the Southern Security Disclosure Schedule
sets forth with respect to each pending action, suit, proceeding, claim,
arbitration or investigation to which Southern Security is a party, the forum,
the parties thereto, a brief description of the subject matter thereof and the
amount of damages claimed.  Southern Security is not aware of any
reasonable basis for any other such action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration
or investigation.  Southern Security has delivered or made available
to Security National correct and complete copies of all correspondence prepared
by its counsel for Southern Security's independent public accountants in
connection with any audits or reviews completed by Southern Security's
independent public accountants.

by Southern Security pursuant to this Agreement and no representation or
warranty made herein or in any exhibit hereto or in any financial statement or

(whether or not set forth in a written document) covering any active, former or
retired employee or consultant of Southern Security are listed in Schedule 3.16
of the Southern Security Disclosure Schedule (individually, a "Plan" and,

letter as to its qualified status from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
or still has a remaining period of time under applicable Treasury Regulations or
IRS pronouncements in which to apply for such a determination letter and to make
any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination.  To the
extent any Plan with an existing determination letter from the IRS must be
amended to comply with the applicable requirement of the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
as amended, and subsequent legislation, the time period for effecting such
amendments will not expire prior to this transaction.  Southern
Security has furnished or made available to Southern Security copies of the most
recent IRS letters and IRS Form 5500 with respect to any such
Plan.  No Plan is covered by Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the
Code.  Neither Southern Security nor any officer or director of
Southern Security has incurred any liability or penalty under Section 4975
through Section 4980 of the Code or Title I of ERISA.  Each Plan has
been maintained and administered in all material respects in compliance with its
terms and with the requirements prescribed by and all applicable statutes, laws,
rules, orders, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, ERISA and
the Code, that are applicable to such Plans.  No suit, action or other
litigation (excluding claims for benefits incurred in the ordinary course of
Plan activities) has been brought, or, to the best knowledge of Southern
Security, is threatened, against or with respect to any such
Plan.  All contributions, reserves and premium payments required to be
made or accrued as of the date hereof to the Plans have been made or
accrued.

      (e)           There
is no material claim, audit, action, suit, proceeding or investigation now

      (f)           There
is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement, including, but not limited to,
the provisions of this Agreement, covering any employee or independent
contractor or former employee or independent contract of Southern Security that,
individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that
would not be deductible pursuant to the Code.  Other than pursuant to
this Agreement, Southern Security is not a party to or bound by (nor will it,
prior to the Closing Date, become a party to or become bound by) any tax
indemnity, tax sharing or tax allocation agreement (whether written, oral or
arising under operation of federal law as a result of Southern Security being a
member of a group filing consolidated tax returns, under operation of certain
state law as a result of Southern Security being a member of a group filing
consolidated tax returns, under operation of certain state laws as a result of
Southern Security being a member of a unitary group or under comparable laws of
other states or foreign jurisdictions) that includes a party other than Southern
Security.  Southern Security has listed in Schedule 3.18 of the

Security has not received any notice of assessment or proposed assessment of any
United States, State or other tax measured by its income, property or
transactions, and no issues have been raised by any taxing authority providing a
basis for any additional assessment of any such tax.  Southern
Security has not waived any law or regulation fixing, or consenting to the
extension of, any period of time for the assessment of any tax or other
governmental imposition, or become committed so to do, except as described in
Schedule 3.18 which is true, complete and correct in all material
respects.  The reserves for current taxes accrued on the books of
Southern Security are reasonable and adequate in amount.  The
Shareholders agree to indemnify Security National for any and all tax
assessments not accrued on the books of Southern Security and related to any
income, events, transactions, or time periods prior to the Closing, except for
any tax which may become due on income previously excluded from taxable income
and accumulated in the undistributed policyholders' surplus account ("Phase III

      4.2       Continuing
Shareholder Obligations.  Each of the
Shareholders agrees as follows:

      


      (i)  not
to induce or attempt to induce, or to cause or aid in any manner whatsoever any
other person to induce or attempt to induce, any policyholder to terminate any
policy issued by Southern Security;

      


      (ii)  that
all policyholder lists, applications for insurance, policyholder information,
knowledge of business operations and sales methods, and all other materials of
Southern Security, are the property of Southern Security only, that
Shareholders’ or Officers' access to all such information and property has been
in a fiduciary capacity, and that all such information and property shall not be
used by any of the Shareholders without specific written authorization by
Security National;

      


      (iv)  that
the protection of such information and property is necessary to provide Security
National with the value of the benefits and rights being purchased by it
pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreement referenced in Section 1.4 above;
and

      


      (v)  Provided,
however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Russ Nowell from engaging
in the insurance business, utilizing any lines of authority and/or company
affiliations to sell, solicit or negotiate new policies on behalf of any
competitor of Southern Security or Security National, including new policies to
existing policyholders provided no twisting or replacement of the in-force
policies occurs, so long as he does not solicit existing Southern Security
policyholders regarding in-force policies or utilize information gained as an
officer of Southern Security to solicit existing policyholders regarding
in-force business.

      


      4.3.   
 Shareholders
Liable for Liquidated Damages.  Each of the
Shareholders agrees that any engagement in activities described in Section
3.7(b) and Section 4.2 above will result in irreparable injury to Security
National, for which there is no adequate remedy at law.  Thus, in the
event of any breach of Section 3.7(b) or Section 4.2 by any respective
Shareholder, Security National may apply for and obtain immediate and continuing
injunctive relief prohibiting further or continued breach of such obligations
hereunder against such Shareholder committing the said breach.  The
said Shareholder(s) committing the breach further agrees that he or she will be
liable for liquidated damages in the amount of two year's annual premium for all
policies that are terminated as a result of such Shareholders'
activities.  The other Shareholders shall have no liability or
responsibility for liquidated damages arising out of the activities or actions
of such Shareholder(s) committing the breach.

have performed all obligations and covenants required to be performed by them
under this Agreement prior to the Closing Date, and Southern Security shall have
received a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer of Security National to such effect.

      


      (c)           Legal
Opinion.  Southern Security and the Shareholders shall have
received an opinion of Security National's legal counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Southern Security, to the effect that:

      


      (i)           Security
National is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Utah with all requisite corporate power and
corporate authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement;

      


      (ii)           the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Security National will
not conflict with any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Articles of
Incorporation or the Bylaws of Security National;

      


      (iii)           the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of Security National and is
enforceable against Security National in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditor's
rights generally.

      


      In
rendering such opinion such counsel may rely, to the extent such counsel deems
such reliance necessary or appropriate, upon certificates of public officials or
of any officer or officers of Security National, provided the extent of such
reliance is specified in such opinion and executed copies of such certificates
are furnished to Southern Security.

      


      (f)           Payment
of Purchase Consideration.  Security National shall pay the
Purchase Consideration as required in Section 1.2 of this
Agreement.

      TERMINATION

      


      8.1       Termination.

      


      (a)           This
Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

      


      (i)           by
mutual written agreement of Security National, Southern Security, and the
Shareholders;

      


      (ii)           by
Security National, if there has been a breach by Southern Security or the
Shareholders of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in
this Agreement on the part of Southern Security or the Shareholders which is
material and which Southern Security or the Shareholders fails to cure within
five (5) business days after notice thereof is given by Security National
(except that no cure period shall be provided for a breach by Southern Security
or the Shareholders which by its nature cannot be cured);

      


      (iii)           by
Southern Security or the Shareholders, if there has been a breach by Security
National of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in
this Agreement on the part of Security National which is material and which
Security National fails to cure within five (5) business days after notice
thereof is given by Southern Security (except that no cure period shall be
provided for a breach by Security National which by its nature cannot be
cured);

      


      (iv)           by
Security National or the Shareholders, if this transaction shall not have been
consummated on or before December 31, 2008; provided, however, that if the sole
reason this transaction has not been completed by such date results from delays
in the regulatory approval process, this Agreement may not be terminated but
rather shall remain in full force and effect for an additional sixty (60) days
beyond December 31, 2008.

      


      (v)           by
Security National or the Shareholders if any permanent injunction or other order
of a court or other competent authority preventing this transaction shall have
become final and nonappealable.

      


      (b)           Where
action is taken to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1 it
shall be sufficient for such action to be authorized by the Board of Directors
of the party taking such action.

      


      (c)           In
the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section, the
provisions of this Agreement shall forthwith become void, except that the
agreements contained or referred to in Sections 10.16 (expenses), 10.17
(brokers, finders), 10.18 (public announcements) and 10.19 (confidentiality)
shall survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a breach of this
Agreement by any party hereto, nothing herein shall limit the remedies at law or
in equity of the other party with respect thereto.

      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 Southern Security or the Shareholders contained in this Agreement
or in any document or other papers delivered pursuant to this Agreement,
including the Southern Security 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 Southern
Security.  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 Southern Security 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.

inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to it contained herein
or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive

      10.17   Confidentiality.  No
party hereto shall release, publish, reveal or disclose, directly or indirectly,
any business or technical information of the other party hereto or any of its
Subsidiaries considered by the other party as "confidential", "secret" or
"proprietary" (or words of similar meaning) including, but not limited to,
systems, processes, formulas, recipes, data, functional specifications, computer
programs, blue prints, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments,
designs, inventions, techniques, new products, marketing and advertising
methods, distribution methods and programs, supplier agreements, customer or
distributor lists, pricing policies, financial information, projections,
forecasts, strategies, budgets or other information related to its business or
its distributors, suppliers or customers (collectively, "Confidential
Material"), except to the party's directors, officers, employees, financial
advisors, legal counsel, independent public accountants or other agents,
advisors or representatives who shall require access thereto on a "need-to-know"
basis for the purpose of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and who
shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section
10.19.  The parties hereto agree to take all reasonable precautions to
safeguard the confidentiality of the other party's Confidential Material and to
exercise the same degree of care with respect to such other party's Confidential
Material that the party in possession of such Confidential Material exercises
with respect to its own confidential information.  Neither party
hereto shall make or permit to be made, except in furtherance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any copies, abstracts or summaries
of the other party's Confidential Material.  In addition, all
Confidential Material belonging to the other party hereto shall be used solely
for the purpose of the investigation and evaluation contemplated by this Section
10.19, and shall not be used for any other purpose, including any use that would
be to the detriment of the other party hereto or its Subsidiaries, nor shall
such Confidential Material be used in competition with the other party hereto or
its Subsidiaries.  The restrictions on disclosure of information
contained in this Section 10.19 do not extend to any information that (a) is
already known to the receiving party; (b) was or is independently developed by
the receiving party; (c) is now or hereafter becomes available to the public
other than as a consequence of a breach of obligations under this Section 10.19
or (d) is disclosed to third parties hereto outside of the receiving party in
accordance with terms approved by the disclosing party.  Upon written
request, the parties hereto shall return all writings, documents and materials
containing Confidential Material with a letter confirming that all copies,
abstracts and summaries of the Confidential Material have been returned or
destroyed.  In the 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 protective order or other remedy is
not obtained, or such other party waives compliance with the provisions of this
Section 10.19 with respect to the 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.

      


      10.18   Attorney’s
Fees.  In the event any legal action or arbitration or other
proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or in connection
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the successful and prevailing party
or parties shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs
incurred in such action or proceeding.
