      (b) The Members from time to time shall execute, acknowledge, verify,
file, record and publish all such applications, certificates and other
documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as the Manager may

formation, qualification and operation of the Company as a limited partnership
in all jurisdictions in which the Company shall desire to conduct business.

      SECTION 2.7 NAMES OF MEMBERS. The name of each Member is set forth on the
signature pages hereto and the name, address and Capital Contribution of each
Member are set forth on the records maintained by the Company at its offices for
such purpose. If necessary, such records shall from time to time be amended to
reflect any changes to the information set forth therein.

      SECTION 2.8 RECAPITALIZATION, ACQUISITIONS, RESTRUCTURING AND MERGERS. The
Company may participate in or be a party to any recapitalization, sale of
substantially all of its assets, restructuring or merger in accordance with and
as allowed by the Florida Act and subject to any other applicable terms of this
Agreement and the Florida Act; provided, however, that no recapitalization, sale
of substantially all of its assets, restructuring or merger which adversely
affects the Members shall proceed without the approval of Members with Capital
Accounts that are more than two-thirds of the Capital Account of all Members.

                ARTICLE III: COMPANY INTERESTS AND CAPITALIZATION

      SECTION 3.1 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION OF THE MANAGER. (a) The Manager has
contributed $10.00 to the capital of the Company in cash or property and is a

funds to the Company.

      SECTION 3.2 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEMBERS. The Members shall acquire
Units in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement or any future
subscription material approved by the Manager. The names, addresses, date of
admissions and Capital Contributions of the Members shall be set forth in a
schedule maintained by the Manager in the form attached hereto as Schedule A.
The Manager shall update the schedule to reflect the then current ownership of
Units without any further need to obtain the consent of any Member, and the
schedule, as revised from time to time by the Manager, shall be presumed correct
absent manifest error. Any Member shall have a right to inspect such schedule
upon written request to the Manager.

      "Capital Contribution" shall include cash contributions or otherwise,
including contributions of entire or fractional interest in Life Insurance
Policies, or a rollover of assets from a qualified plan, such as an Individual
Retirement Account.

                                      B-7
<PAGE>

      SECTION 3.3 RESERVE ACCOUNT; CAPITAL CALL. (a) The Company shall establish
a special reserve escrow account (the "Special Reserve Escrow Account")to pay
premiums on all Life Insurance Policies. The Special Reserve Escrow Account
shall equal approximately 150% of the annual premiums for the estimated life
expectancies of the individual insureds in the pool of Life Insurance Policies.

      (b) In the event that sufficient funds are unavailable to pay the premiums
on the Life Insurance Policies and a Life Insurance Policy would lapse, the
Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require all Members to
make additional Capital Contributions ("Capital Call") of up to six (6) months
premiums to insure that no Life Insurance Policy lapses. The Members will make
the Capital Call in proportion to their Interests in the Company. Capital Calls
made pursuant to this provision shall be made within thirty (30) days after
receipt of notice from the Manager. If a Member shall default in making any such
Capital Call, then the other Members shall have, with respect to the defaulted
Capital Contribution, the right to contribute, pro rata, and receive a premium
to be determined by the Manager of the Interest attributable to the defaulted
Capital Contribution.

      (c) In connection with any expenses incurred by the Company, not in the
ordinary course of business (i.e., costs in servicing Life Insurance Policies or
litigation costs), the Manager may, at its sole direction establish a
contingency reserve to cover such expenses. If the funds in such contingency
reserve are inadequate to cover such expenses, the Manager may require Members
to make a Capital Call to such reserve in proportion to their Interests in the
Company. Upon the termination of the Company, the balance of the Special Reserve
Escrow Account shall be distributed, pro rata to the contributing Members
adjusted to take into account any premiums set forth in subparagraph (b) above.

      SECTION 3.4 NO WITHDRAWAL OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; RETURN OF CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) No Member shall be entitled to withdraw, reduce or demand any
part of its Capital Contribution or to receive any distributions from the
Company, except as expressly provided in Article V and Section 10.3 of this
Agreement. No Member shall have the right to receive interest on its Capital
Contribution.

      (b) None of the Members, nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor any
officer, member, director, shareholder, employee or agent of the Members or
their Affiliates, shall be personally liable for the return or repayment of any
Capital Contribution.

      SECTION 3.5 NO OBLIGATION TO RESTORE NEGATIVE BALANCES IN CAPITAL
ACCOUNTS. No Member shall have an obligation, at any time during the term of the
Company or upon its liquidation, to pay to the Company or any other Member or
third party an amount equal to the negative balance in such Member's Capital
Account.

      SECTION 3.6 LIABILITY OF MANAGER AND MEMBERS AND THEIR AFFILIATES. Except
as otherwise provided by applicable law, the debts, obligations and

                                      B-8
<PAGE>

liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise,
shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company; neither
the Manager nor any Member nor any Affiliate of the Manager or any Member shall
be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the
Company solely by reason of being a Manager or Member or being an Affiliate of
either of them.

      SECTION 3.7 CONTRIBUTIONS OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES. The Manager, in its
sole discretion, may accept, in lieu of cash, from anyone other than an
Affiliate of the Manager or the Company, as an initial Capital Contribution in
exchange for Units in the Company, an entire or fractional interest in Life
Insurance Policies.

         ARTICLE IV: ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS, LOSSES AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

      SECTION 4.1 ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME AND NET LOSS. Except as provided in
Section 4.2, the Company's Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be, and each
item of income, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof, for
each Fiscal Year shall be allocated as follows:

      (a) Net Income and Net Loss for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated as
follows:

            (i) Net Income of the Company shall be allocated to the Members on
their Pro Rata Share.

            (ii) All Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members on their Pro
Rata Share after reimbursement to the parent of the Manager of .5% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering of Units to cover a portion of the expenses of the
offering.

      (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.1 (a) hereof, in the
Fiscal Year in which the Company is liquidated, the Manager shall allocate Net
Income, Net Loss and items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the extent
possible to cause distributions to the Members, to equal the distributions the
Members would have received were liquidating distributions effected pursuant to
Article V hereof.

      SECTION 4.2 OTHER ALLOCATION PROVISIONS. (a) Items of tax expense payable
by the Company or withheld on income received by the Company shall be included
in the computation of Net Income and Net Loss and allocated pursuant to Section
4.1 hereof, provided, that where an item of tax expense payable by the Company
or where a withholding tax on income or payments received by the Company is
allocated, under applicable law, with respect to income allocable to some (but
not all) of the Members or to the extent income allocable to some of the Members
is exempt from tax in the hands of the Company, such tax expense or withholding
shall be allocated, as reasonably determined by the Manager, only to such
Members to whom allocations of income are subject to tax in the hands of the
Company and distributions to the Members shall be adjusted appropriately.

                                      B-9
<PAGE>

      (b) If there is a net decrease in "Company minimum gain" (within the
meaning of Section 1.704-2(d) of the Regulations) for a Fiscal Year, then there
shall be allocated to each Member items of income and gain for that Fiscal Year
equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in "Company minimum gain"
(within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(g)(2)of the Regulations) subject to the
exceptions set forth in Sections 1.704-2(f)(2), (3) and (5) of the Regulations,
provided, that if the Company has any discretion as to an exception set forth
pursuant to Section 1.704-2(f)(5)of the Regulations, the Manager may exercise
such discretion on behalf of the Company. The Manager shall, if the application
of the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement pursuant to Section 1.704-2(f)(4)
of the Regulations would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among
the Members, ask the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to waive the
"minimum gain chargeback" requirement. The foregoing is intended to be a
"minimum gain chargeback" provision as described in Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in all respects accordingly.

      If during the Fiscal Year there is a net decrease in Member nonrecourse
debt minimum gain (as determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(3) of the
Regulations), then, in addition to the amounts, if any, allocated pursuant to
the preceding paragraph, any Member with a share of that Member nonrecourse debt
minimum gain (determined in accordance, with Section 1.704-2(i)(5)-2 of the
Regulations as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall, subject to exceptions
set forth in Section 1.704-2(i)(4)of the Regulations (provided, that if the
Company has any discretion as to an exception, the Manager may exercise such
discretion on behalf of the Company) shall be allocated items of income and gain
for the Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for succeeding Fiscal Years) equal to
that Member's share of the net decrease in the Member nonrecourse debt minimum
gain. The Manager shall, if the application of the Member nonrecourse debt
minimum gain chargeback requirement would cause a distortion in the economic
arrangement among the Members, ask the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue
Service to waive the minimum gain chargeback requirement pursuant to Sections
1.704-2(f)(4) and 1-704-2(i)(4)of the Regulations. The foregoing is intended to
be the "chargeback of Member nonrecourse debt minimum gain" required by Section
1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in all
respects accordingly.

      (c) If during any Fiscal Year a Member unexpectedly receives an
adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Sections
1.704-1(b),(2)(ii)(d), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, which causes or increases
a deficit balance in the Member's Adjusted Capital Account, there shall be
allocated to the Member items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata
portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for
such year) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as
quickly as possible. The foregoing is intended to be a "qualified income offset"
provision as set forth in Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and
shall be interpreted and applied in all respects accordingly.

      A Member's "Adjusted Capital Account", at any time, shall equal the
Member's Capital Account at such time (x) increased by the sum of (A) the amount
of the Member's share of

                                      B-10
<PAGE>

Company minimum gain (as defined in Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (3) of the
Regulations, (B) the amount of the Member's share of Member nonrecourse debt
minimum gain (as defined in Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations), and (C)
any amount of the deficit balance in its Capital Account the Member is obligated
to restore on liquidation of the Company or other amount that the Member is
treated as obligated to restore pursuant to Sections 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(c) and
(y) of the Regulations, decreased by reasonably expected adjustments,
allocations and distributions set forth in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5)
and (6)of the Regulations. This definition shall be interpreted consistently
with Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)of the Regulations.

      (d) If any Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account, such
Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the
amount of such deficit as rapidly as possible, provided, that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 4.2(d). shall be made if and only to the extent that
such Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other
allocations provided for in this Agreement have been tentatively made as if this
Section 4.2(d) were not in this Agreement.

      (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article

            (i) Company losses, deductions or expenditures described in Section
705(a)(2)(b) of the Code, that are attributable to a particular Member
nonrecourse liability shall be allocated to the Member that bears the economic
risk of loss for the liability in accordance with the rules of Section
1.704-2(i) of the Regulations; and,

            (ii) Company losses, deductions or expenditures described in Section
705(a)(2)(b) of the Code, that are attributable to Company nonrecourse
liabilities shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Capital
Contributions.

      (f) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 4.1 hereof, no allocation of
Net Losses, shall be made to a Member if it would cause the Member to have a
negative balance in its Adjusted Capital Account. Allocations of Net Losses that
would be made to a Member but for this Section 4.2(f) shall instead be made to
other Members pursuant to Section 4.1 to the extent not inconsistent with this
Section 4.2(f). To the extent allocations of Net Losses cannot be made to any
Member because of this Section 4.2(f), such allocations shall be made to the
Members in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof notwithstanding this Section
4.2(f).

      (g) To the extent that any item of income, gain, loss or deduction has
been specially allocated pursuant to Paragraphs (c), (d), (f) or (h) of this
Section 4.2 and such allocation is inconsistent with the way in which the same
amount otherwise would have been allocated under Section 4.1, subsequent
allocations under Section 4.1 shall be made, to the extent possible and without
duplication, in a manner consistent with Paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (f), and
(h) of Section 4.2 hereof, which negate as rapidly as possible the effect of all
such inconsistent allocations under said Paragraphs (c), (d), (f) and (h).

                                      B-11
<PAGE>

      (h) Except to the extent otherwise required by the Code and Regulations,
if an Interest in the Company or part thereof is Transferred in any Fiscal Year,
the Net Income, Net Loss and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit
allocable to the Interest in the Company for such Fiscal Year shall be
apportioned between the transferor and the transferee in proportion to the
number of days in such Fiscal Year that such Interest is held by each of them,
except that, if they agree between themselves and so notify the Manager within
thirty (30) days after the Transfer, then at their option and expense, (i) all
items or (ii) extraordinary items, including capital gains and losses, may be
allocated to the Person who held the Interest on the date such items were
realized or incurred by the Company.

      (i) In determining the Members' share of the excess nonrecourse
liabilities of the Company, if any, for purposes of Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the
Regulations, the Members' share of Company profits shall be proportional to the
Members' Capital Contributions.

      (j) Any allocations made pursuant to this Article IV shall be made in the
following order:

            (i)   Section 4.2(b);

            (ii)  Section 4.2(c);

            (iii) Section 4.2(e);

            (iv)  Section 4.2(g);

            (v)   Section 4.2(a);

            (vi)  Section 4. 1; and

            (vii) Section 4.2(d).

      These provisions shall be applied as if all distributions and allocations
were made at the end of the Fiscal Year. Where any provision depends on the
Capital Account of any Member, that Capital Account shall be determined after
the operation of all preceding provisions for the Fiscal Year. These allocations
shall be made consistently with the requirements of Section 1.704-2(j)of the
Regulations.

      (k) The Manager may vary the allocations provided for in this Article IV
to the extent it believes it reasonably necessary to comply with the
requirements of Sections 1-704-1(b)and 1.704-2 of the Regulations, provided,
that any variations in the amounts allocated to a Member shall not materially
affect the amounts distributed to such Member.

      SECTION 4.3 ALLOCATIONS FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES. The income, gains,
losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated in the same
manner as the items

                                      B-12
<PAGE>

entering into the computation of Net Income and Net Loss were allocated under
Section 4.1 and 4.2; provided, however, that solely for Federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes not for book or Capital Account
purposes--income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property properly
carried, on the Company's books at a book value other than the tax basis of such
property shall be allocated in a manner determined in the Manager's discretion,
so as to take into account (consistently with Section 704(c) of the Code and
Section 1.704-3 of the Regulations) the difference between such property's book
value and its tax basis.

      SECTION 4.4 WITHHOLDING. The Company shall comply with withholding
requirements under Federal, state and local laws and shall remit amounts
withheld to and file required forms with the applicable jurisdictions. To the
extent the Company is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any
authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount
withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding
to that Member. In the event of any claimed over-withholding, Members shall be
limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount withheld
has not been withheld from actual distributions, the Company may, at its option,
(i) require the Member to reimburse the Company for such withholding, which
reimbursement shall be treated as a reduction in the deemed distribution to the
Members referred to in the previous sentence by such Member, or (ii) reduce any
subsequent distributions by the amount of such withholding. Each Member agrees
to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be
requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in
fulfilling, its withholding obligations.

      SECTION 4.5 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. The Company shall establish and maintain a
separate Capital Account for each Member and its legal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns in accordance with the definition of "Capital
Account" in Article I above.

                            ARTICLE V: DISTRIBUTIONS

      SECTION 5.1 DISTRIBUTIONS. Except for any distributions expressly required
or permitted to be made under this Article V and subject to Sections 5.4 and
5.5, the amount and timing of all distributions of cash and of property other
than cash, will be at the discretion of the Manager; provided, however, no
distribution is permitted, if after the distribution, the Company would be
insolvent. All distributions pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made to the
Members as follows:

      (a) An amount equal to the Net Proceeds, less all amounts previously
distributed to the Members, shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to
their respective Pro Rata Share; and

      (b) Any cash or other property, other than Life Insurance Policies and
Capital Contributions that have not been invested, remaining after the
distributions set forth in Paragraph (a) above and after retention of any
reserves deemed appropriate by the Manager, in its sole discretion, shall be
distributed to the Manager.

                                      B-13
<PAGE>

      SECTION 5.2 CERTAIN STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. Notwithstanding Section 5.1
above, if the Manager, or any direct or indirect shareholder or other equity
owners of the Manager (other than a C corporation or an individual) is required
to recognize state or local income or franchise taxes, in the state of Florida
or any other state or interest or penalties in respect thereof, with respect to
any allocations or distributions made to the Members with respect to any Fiscal
Year, the Company shall distribute to the Manager an amount which, after
deducting all Federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Manager as a
result of receiving the distribution (taking into account the deductibility of
state and local income taxes against Federal income tax and the deductibility,
if any, of local income taxes against state taxes) shall equal the amount of
such state or local income or franchise taxes or interest or penalties, and the
distributions to the Member's shall be reduced to the extent of the
distributions hereunder.

      SECTION 5.3 TIMING OF DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the Manager shall use reasonable efforts to make the distributions
provided in Sections 5.1(a) and (b) above promptly after the Company receives
Life Insurance Policy proceeds at Maturity but not later than the last business
day of the following month after receipt. In any event, such Life Insurance
Policy proceeds will be immediately deposited in an interest bearing account
upon receipt by the Manager. All other distributions shall be made in at the
sole discretion of the Manager.

      SECTION 5.4 LIMITATIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein
contained to the contrary, no distribution under this Agreement shall be made if
such distribution would violate the Florida Act. A Member who receives a
distribution in violation of the Florida Act shall be liable to return the
distribution to the Company if the Member knew that, immediately after giving
effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Company, other than
liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specified property
of the Company, exceed the Value of the assets of the Company (except that the
Value of property that is subject to a liability for which recourse of creditors
is limited shall be included in the assets of the Company only to the extent
that the Value of that property exceeds that liability). A manager and managing
member who votes for or assents to a distribution in violation of this Agreement
or the Florida Act shall be personally liable to the Company for the amount of
the distribution that exceeds what could have been distributed without such
violation if it is established that person did not meet their duties as set
forth in the Florida Act. In addition, no distribution shall be made to any
Member to the extent that such Member has not satisfied any outstanding capital
call as set forth in Section 3.3 herein.

      SECTION 5.5 RESERVES. In connection with any distribution to a Member
under this Article V, the Manager shall cause the Company to establish such
reserves as it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen
Company liabilities, and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed
advisable by the Manager, the balance shall be distributed to such Member (or
such Member's legal representative).

                                      B-14
<PAGE>

      SECTION 5.6 TAX DISTRIBUTIONS. For each Fiscal Year, the Company shall,
during such Fiscal Year or the immediately subsequent Fiscal Year, but no later
than sixty (60) days following the end of such Fiscal Year, use its best efforts
to distribute to each Member, with respect to such Fiscal Year, if a
distribution equal to or exceeding such amount has not been previously made, an
amount equal to such Member's Presumed Tax Liability for such Fiscal Year. Any
amount distributed pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be deemed to be advance
distributions of amounts otherwise distributable to the Members pursuant to
Section 5.1 and shall reduce the amounts that would subsequently otherwise be
distributable to the Members pursuant to Section 5.1 in the order they would
otherwise have been distributable.

      SECTION 5.7 INCORRECT DISTRIBUTIONS. To the extent distributions pursuant
to this Article V were incorrectly made, as determined by the financial
statements of the Company, the recipients shall promptly repay all incorrect
payments and the Company shall have the right to set off any current or future
sums owing to such recipients against any such incorrectly paid amount.

      SECTION 5.8 DISTRIBUTIONS IN KIND. In the event any proceeds available for
distribution consist of items other than cash, the Members shall be entitled to
their shares of each such asset in the same proportions as if such distribution
were cash distributions in an amount equal to the Value thereof.

                             ARTICLE VI: MANAGEMENT

      SECTION 6.1 MANAGEMENT POWERS OF THE MANAGER. (a) The Manager shall manage
the Company, and without limiting any other rights, powers or duties specified
in this Agreement, shall have all of the rights, powers and duties specified
under the Florida Act. Except as expressly limited by the provisions of this
Agreement and the Florida Act, the Manager shall have the full, exclusive and
absolute right, power and authority to manage and control the Company and the
property, assets, affairs and business thereof. Except as so expressly limited,
the Manager shall have all of the rights, powers and authority conferred upon it
by law or under the provisions of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided
herein or as otherwise required by the Florida Act, the Members shall have no
voice or participation in the management of the Company's business, and no power
to bind the Company or to act on behalf of the Company in any manner whatsoever.
However, a majority in interest of the Members shall designate, appoint, elect,
and replace the manager by a vote in person or by consent.

      (b) The Manager shall have the power and authority to effectuate the
purposes of the Company as set forth in this Agreement. The Manager shall not
permit the Company to undertake any activity that would cause the Company to be
an investment company required to be registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, or cause some or all of the Company's assets to be "plan
assets" or the trading and investment activity of the Company to constitute
"prohibited transactions" under the Code and the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as may be amended.

                                      B-15
<PAGE>

      (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Sections 6.1(a) and

      (d) the Manager shall have the power on behalf of the Company to:

            (i) authorize and engage in transactions and dealings on behalf of
the Company, including transactions and dealings with any Member or any
Affiliate of any Member;

            (ii) call meetings of Members or any class or series thereof, on
reasonable notice, for such purposes as the Manager shall determine, and, in the
Manager's sole discretion, permit Members to vote by proxy at such meetings; the
Members with capital accounts that constitute a majority of the capital accounts
of all Members or class of Members for whom the meeting is called shall
constitute a quorum at any such meeting;

            (iii) determine and make distributions, in cash or otherwise, on
Interests, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Florida
Act;

            (iv) establish a record date with respect to all actions to be taken
hereunder that require a record date to be established, including with respect
to allocations, dividends and voting rights;

            (v) redeem, repurchase or exchange, on behalf of the Company,
Interests which may be so redeemed, repurchased or exchanged;

            (vi) appoint (and dismiss from appointment) attorneys and agents on
behalf of the Company, and employ (and dismiss from employment) any and all
persons providing legal, accounting or financial services to the Company, or
such other employees or agents as the Manager deems necessary or desirable for
the management and operation of the Company, including any Member or any
Affiliate of any Member;

            (vii) open accounts and deposit, maintain and withdraw funds in the
name of the Company in banks, savings and loan associations, brokerage firms or
other financial institutions;

            (viii) effect a dissolution of the Company and act as liquidating

omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf
of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of
authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Agreement; provided,

receiving any of the fees for due diligence review, medical review, processing,
administering, monitoring, closing and filing claims for the Life Insurance
Policies, as more fully described in the Prospectus, provided, that such
compensation does not reduce the Returns paid to the Members.

      (b) Counsel to the Company may also be counsel to the Manager or any
Affiliate of the Manager. The Manager may execute on behalf of the Company and
the Members any consent to the representation of the Company that counsel may
request pursuant to any applicable rules of

                                      B-18
<PAGE>

professional conduct or similar rules ("Rules"). The law firm engaged as legal
counsel to the Company in connection with the formation of the Company and the
offer and sale of Units ("Company Counsel") is not involved in the underwriting,
documentation or routine servicing of the Life Insurance Policies acquired by
the Company. Each Member acknowledges that Company Counsel does not and will not
represent any Member, and that in the absence of a clear and explicit written
agreement, Company Counsel shall owe no duties directly to any Member.
Notwithstanding any adversity that may develop, in the event any dispute or
controversy arises between any Member and the Company, or between any Member or
the Company, on the one hand, and the Manager or its Affiliate, on the other
hand, then each Member agrees that Company Counsel may represent either the
Company or such Manager or its Affiliate, or both, in any such dispute or
controversy to the extent permitted by the Rules, and each Member hereby
consents to such representation.

      (c) Each Member further acknowledges that Company Counsel has represented
only the interests of the Manager and not the Members in connection with the
formation of the Company and the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement,
and each Member acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to
consult with independent counsel with regard thereto.

      SECTION 6.8 DEFAULT OF MANAGER. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Manager
Default (as defined below), the Manager shall give prompt written notice of the
Manager Default to the Company and the Company shall give written notice to the
Members at the addresses appearing in list of Members prepared in accordance
with Section 7.5(b) below. If the Manager fails to cure the Manager Default or
is incapable of curing the Manager Default, the Members whose aggregate Capital
Accounts exceed 50% of the aggregate of all Members' Capital Account at such
time, may (a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Manager, or (b)
elect to waive the Manager Default; provided, however, a Manager Default in
connection with the Manager's failure to make any required deposits or payments
may not be waived. Upon any waiver of a past Manager Default, the Manager
Default shall cease to exist, and any Manager Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose. No waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Manager Default or impair any right of the Members in
connection with the Servicing Agreement except to the extent expressly so
waived.

      Upon receipt by the Manager of a termination notice, the Manager shall
continue to perform all servicing functions under the Servicing Agreement until
the date specified in the termination notice or as otherwise specified by the
Company in writing or, if no date is specified in the termination notice, until
a date agreed upon by the Company.

      (b) A Manager Default refers to any one of the following events which
shall occur and be continuing:

            (i) any failure by the Manager to report or give instructions or
notice to the Company on or before the date occurring five (5) business days
after the date the report or the instruction or notice is required to be given,
as the case may be; or

                                      B-19
<PAGE>

            (ii) failure on the part of the Manager to observe or perform in any
material respect any other covenants or agreements which has a material adverse
effect on the Members and which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30)
days after the date on which written notice of the failure requiring the same to
be remedied shall have been given to the Manager by the Company, or to by the
Members whose aggregate Capital Accounts exceed 50% of the aggregate of all
Members' Capital Account at such time; or

            (iii) the Manager's delegation of its duties; or

            (iv) any representation, warranty or certification made by the
Manager in the agreements comprising the Servicing Agreement(s), shall prove to
have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the rights
of the Members and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a
period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of the failure
requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Manager by the
Company, or by the Members whose aggregate Capital Accounts exceed 50% of the
aggregate of all Members' Capital Account at such time; or

            (v) the Manager shall:

                  o     become insolvent,

                  o     fail to pay its debts generally as they become due,

                  o     voluntarily seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the
                        benefit or benefits of any debtor relief law, or

                  o     become a party to, or be made the subject of, any
                        proceeding provided by any debtor relief law, other than
                        as a creditor or claimant, and, in the event the
                        proceeding is involuntary, the petition instituting same
                        is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after its
                        filing.

      (c) In the event the Manager is terminated as a result of a Manager
Default, the Company may appoint any established financial institution whose
regular business includes purchasing Life Insurance Policies to act as successor
manager. Upon its appointment, the successor manager shall be the successor in
all respects to the Manager and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities placed on the Manager. All power and authority of the
Manager shall pass to and vest in the successor manager, and, without
limitation, the successor manager shall execute and deliver all documents and
other instruments required of the Manager to be executed or delivered, and to do
and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of the transfer of servicing rights to the successor manager.

      SECTION 6.9 REMOVAL OF MANAGER; SUCCESSOR. (a) The Manager may be removed
from the Company for Cause (as defined below) and as otherwise specifically

shall mean the Manager (i) has been convicted of a felony, (ii) has committed
fraud against the Company or (iii) has acted or omitted to take action on behalf
of the Company which act or omission constitutes gross negligence or wilful
misconduct. Such removal shall be automatically effective upon a final
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that an event or
circumstances constituting Cause has occurred or exists, provided, that any
removal of the Manager for Cause shall be effected by a vote of the Members
whose aggregate Capital Accounts exceed 50% of the aggregate of all Members'
Capital Accounts at such time. The Manager may also be removed, other than for
Cause, after the Manager has received distributions from the Company that equal
or exceed 125% of the aggregate expenses, including without limitation, expenses
of, and commissions payable, in connection with the public offering of Interests
in the Company, incurred by the Manager and its Affiliates in connection with
the business of the Company, provided, that any removal of the Manager pursuant
to this Section 6.9 other than for Cause may be effected by a vote of the
Members whose aggregate Capital Accounts equal or exceed two-thirds of the
aggregate of all Members' Capital Accounts. In the event of the removal or
resignation of the Manager, nominations for a successor Manager may be made by
Members whose aggregate Capital Accounts exceed ten percent (10%) of the
aggregate of all Members' Capital Accounts at such time. Appointment of a
successor Manager shall be effected by a vote of the Members whose aggregate
Capital Accounts exceed 50% of the aggregate of all Members' Capital Accounts at
such time.

                                      B-21
<PAGE>

may be necessary or advisable, as determined by the Manager, including the

year, beginning with April 15, 2003, the Manager shall cause, at cost and
expense of the Company, a firm of nationally recognized independent public
accountants to furnish a report to the Manager covering the preceding annual
period to the effect that the accountants have applied agreed-upon procedures to
documents and records relating to the servicing of the Life Insurance Policies,
compared the information contained in the Manager's units delivered during the
period covered by the report with the documents and records and that no matters
came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that the
servicing was not conducted in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, except
for exceptions as the firm shall believe to be immaterial and other exceptions
as shall be set forth in such statement. In addition, each report shall set
forth the agreed upon procedures performed. A copy of the report may be obtained

set forth in the Manager's quarterly certificates forwarded by the Manager
during the period covered by the report, which shall be the period from January
1, or the date which is the initial closing date, to and including December 31,
or the date which is the final Maturity date, of the calendar year, with the
Manager's computer reports which were the source of the amounts and that on the
basis of the comparison, the accountants are of the opinion that the amounts are
in agreement, except for the exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and the
other exceptions as shall be set forth in the statement. A copy of the report or
any other report described in this section may be obtained by any Member by a
request in writing to the Manager at no cost to the Member.

treatment of the Units, as the Company and the Manager deem necessary or
desirable to enable the Members to prepare their respective tax returns. The
obligations of the Company shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that the Company provides information which is substantially comparable to

initial Capital Contributions from Members in an amount not less than $10,000.

      (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 8.1,

the Code, (iii) violate or cause the Company to violate any applicable Federal

counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), in form and substance satisfactory
to the Manager, that such Transfer does not violate federal or state securities
laws or any representation or warranty of such transferring Member given in
connection with the acquisition of its Interest; and

            (vii) if required by the Manager, Company Counsel delivers to the
Company an opinion that such Transfer (a) will not result in a termination of
the Company under Section 708 of the Code; (b) will not cause the Company to
lose its status as a partnership for United States

                                      B-26

federal income tax purposes; and (c) will not cause the Company to become
subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

      (b) No Transfer of an Interest, where permitted by the terms of this
Agreement, shall be binding on the Company until all of the conditions to such
Transfer have been fulfilled. Upon the admission of a substitute or additional
Member, the Manager shall promptly cause any necessary documents or instruments
to be filed, recorded or published, wherever required, showing the substitution
or addition, as applicable, of the transferee as a substitute Member.

      (c) A transferee of an Interest shall be entitled to receive distributions
of cash or other property from the Company attributable to the Interest acquired
by reason of such Transfer from and after the effective date of the Transfer of
such Interest to it; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company and the Manager shall be entitled to treat the
transferor of such Interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and
shall incur no liability for allocations of income, gain, losses, credits,
deductions or distributions that are made in good faith to such transferor until
such time as all of the conditions of such Transfer have been fulfilled, the
written instrument of Transfer has been received by the Company and the
effective date of Transfer has passed.

      (d) The effective date of a permitted Transfer of an Interest shall be no
earlier than the last day of the calendar month following receipt of notice of
assignment and such documentation as the Manager determines is required.

      (e) The transferring Member shall cease to be a Member, and the transferee
shall become a Substituted Member, as to the Interest so Transferred as of the
effective date, and thereafter the transferring Member shall have no rights or
obligations with respect to the Company insofar as the Interest Transferred is
concerned.

      SECTION 9.3 VOID TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, any Transfer of an Interest in violation of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be void and shall not bind the Company.

      SECTION 9.4 PERMITTED TRANSFERS. (a) A Member may Transfer its right to
receive distributions and allocations of Net Income and Net Loss and other
economic benefits under this Agreement to any Permitted Transferee (as defined
below); provided, however, that in no event shall any such transferee be
admitted as a substitute or additional Member of the Company or be entitled to
any other right of a Member under this Agreement (including, but not limited to,
the right to vote or consent) without the prior written consent of the Manager,
which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided,
further, that if required by the Manager, a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee
may be conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion from Company Counsel.

      (b) A "Permitted Transferee" means:

            (ii) with respect to a Member which is a partnership, corporation or
limited liability company, such Member's partners, shareholders, members,
directors, executive officers or managers, as the case may be, and to a Family
Member of any such person;

            (iii) with respect to a Member which is a trust, the beneficiaries
of such trust; or

            (iv) another Member.

      ARTICLE X: DEATH, LEGAL INCOMPETENCY, OR WITHDRAWAL OF A MEMBER

      SECTION 10.1 EFFECT OF DEATH OR LEGAL INCOMPETENCY OF A MEMBER OF THE
COMPANY. The death or legal incompetency of a Member shall not cause a
dissolution of the Company or entitle the Member or his estate to a return of
his Capital Account.

      SECTION 10.2 RIGHTS OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE. On the death or legal
incompetency of a Member, his personal representative shall have all the rights
of that Member for purposes of settling his estate or managing his property,
including the rights of assignment and withdrawal.

      SECTION 10.3 WITHDRAWAL OF MEMBERS OTHER THAN MANAGERS. (a) With the sole
discretion of the Manager reasonably exercised, the Manager may modify,
eliminate or waive any such limitation on the withdrawal rights of a Member as
set forth below, on a case by case basis, so long as the modifying, waiving, or
elimination of the limitation does not: (a) adversely effect rights of the other
Members as a whole; or (b) results in the Company being classified as a
"publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the

                                      B-28
<PAGE>

Code and the Regulations thereunder. To withdraw or partially withdraw from the
Company, a Member must give written notice thereof to the Manager and may
thereafter obtain the Return in cash of his Capital Account, or the portion
thereof, as to which he requests withdrawal, within ninety (90) days after the
written notice of withdrawal is delivered to the Manager, subject to the
following limitations:

            (i) Except with regard to the right of the personal representative
of a deceased Member, no notice of withdrawal shall be honored and no withdrawal
shall be made, of or for any Units, until the expiration of at least one year
from the date of purchase of those Units.

            (ii) To assure that the payments to a Member or his representative
do not impair the capital or the operation of the Company, any cash payments in
return of an outstanding Capital Account shall be made by the Company only from
Net Proceeds and Capital Contributions.

            (iii) A Member shall have the right to receive distributions in cash
from his Capital Account only to the extent that cash from Net Proceeds and
Capital Contributions are available. The Manager shall not be required to (i)
establish a reserve fund for the purpose of making a cash distribution of any
Capital Account; (ii) use any other sources of the Company's funds other than
cash from Net Proceeds and Capital Contributions; (iii) sell or otherwise
liquidate any portion of the Company's investments in Life Insurance Policies or
any other asset in order to make a cash distribution of any Capital Account.

            (iv) During the ninety (90) days following receipt of written notice
of withdrawal from a Member, the Manager shall not reinvest any Net Proceeds or
Capital Contributions in new Life Insurance Policies or other non-liquid
investments unless and until the Company has sufficient funds available in cash
to distribute to the withdrawing Member the amount that he is withdrawing from
his Capital Account.

            (v) Subject to the restrictions on withdrawal contained in this
Agreement, the amount to be distributed to any withdrawing Member shall be an
amount equal to the amount of the Member's Capital Account as of the date of the
distribution, as to which the Member has given a notice of withdrawal under this
Section 10.3, notwithstanding that the amount may be greater or lesser than the
Member's proportionate share of the current Value of the Company's net assets.

            (vi) Requests by Members for withdrawal will be honored in the order
in which the Manager receives them. If any request may not be honored, due to
any limitations imposed by this Section 10.3 (except the one year holding
limitation set forth in Subparagraph (i) of this Section 10.3), the Manager will
notify the requesting Member in writing, whose request, if not withdrawn by the
Member, will be honored if and when the limitation no longer is imposed; and

                                      B-29
<PAGE>

            (vii) If a Member's Capital Account would have a balance of less
than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) following a requested withdrawal, the
Manager, at its discretion, may distribute to the Member the entire balance in
the account.

      (b) Subject to all of the limitations set forth in Paragraph (a) above, a
Member may withdraw or partially withdraw as a member of the Company commencing
one year after becoming a Member and obtain a Return of all or part of your
Capital Account and receive back 85% of the face amount of your Capital
Contribution, less any distributions paid to such date.

positive balance in their respective Capital Accounts.

      (b) Upon dissolution, the Members shall look solely to the assets of the
Company for the return of their Capital Contributions. The winding up of the
affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets shall be conducted
exclusively by the Manager, who hereby is authorized to do any and all acts and
things authorized by law for these purposes.

      SECTION 11.4 TERMINATION. The Company shall terminate when all property
owned by the Company shall have been disposed of and the assets, after payment

      WHEREAS, the Issuer has filed a registration statement, Form S-1, File No.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, concerning the subscription and sale of

      WHEREAS, the Depositor has been named as the underwriter pursuant to the
proposed subscription and sale of the Units under the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement by and between Issuer and Depositor dated December ____, 2002.

      WHEREAS, the Issuer and Depositor propose to establish a escrow fund in
accordance and compliance with 17 C.F.R. section 240.15c2-4 to be held by the
Escrow Agent until 6 months from the date of the prospectus or the sale of
$2,5000,000 in Units is complete or is terminated by the Issuer in accordance

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

consequential damages of any kind, even though the Escrow Agent may have been
placed on notice of the likelihood of such loss.

      6. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF ESCROW AGENT. This Agreement shall represent the
entire understanding of the parties hereto, and the Escrow Agent shall only be
required to perform the duties expressly described herein, and no further duties
shall be implied from this Agreement or any other written or oral agreement by
and between the Escrow Agent, the Depositor and the Issuer made previous or
subsequent to this Agreement, unless such written amendment to this Agreement is
executed by all parties to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon any
written instructions believed in good faith to be genuine when signed and
presented by the requesting party and shall not have a duty to inquire or

investment(s) until such time as a written agreement among the parties is
executed or a court of competent jurisdiction shall render an order directing
further action. Upon release of Escrow Funds as set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto,
Escrow Agent shall be fully released from any and all further obligations,
except for the provision of written notice to the other parties to this
