  (ix)   The Company or an Affiliate will obtain a Local Counsel Opinion from outside local counsel to the Company or such Affiliate qualified to practice in the states of California, Florida and New York (each, a “Policy State”) no later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof, addressing each of the questions set forth on Exhibit D hereto (such questions being, the “Policy State Local Counsel Questions”) pursuant to the laws, rules and regulations of such jurisdiction as in effect as of the date of such Local Counsel Opinion.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE
NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE

(APPLICABLE TO CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED ACTS)
You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, that you have a right to purchase insurance coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism” means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury—in concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the United States—to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICY MAY CONTAIN OTHER EXCLUSIONS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT YOUR COVERAGE, SUCH AS AN EXCLUSION FOR NUCLEAR EVENTS. UNDER THE FORMULA, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT GENERALLY REIMBURSES 85% OF COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE. THE PREMIUM CHARGED FOR THIS COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE PORTION OF LOSS THAT MAY BE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.
YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT, AS AMENDED, CONTAINS A $100 BILLION CAP THAT LIMITS U.S. GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL AS INSURERS’ LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM WHEN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LOSSES IN ANY ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS $100 BILLION. IF THE AGGREGATE INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS EXCEED $100 BILLION, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED.
     Acceptance or Rejection of Terrorism Insurance Coverage
     
Senior
  I hereby elect to purchase terrorism coverage for a prospective premium of $     0 .
 
   
 
  I hereby decline to purchase terrorism coverage for certified acts of terrorism. I understand that I will have no coverage for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism. I further understand that by declining to purchase coverage for certified acts of terrorism, I am also declining to purchase coverage for non-certified acts of terrorism. This will be reflected in the policy by Terrorism Exclusion — Form No. 96554(2/08).

THIS CONTRACT IS REGISTERED AND DELIVERED AS A SURPLUS LINE COVERAGE
UNDER THE SURPLUS LINE INSURANCE LAW O.C.G.A. CHAPTER 33-5.
LENDER PROTECTION INSURANCE POLICY
POLICY NUMBER: 7113486
In consideration of the Insurer’s receipt of the LPIC Premium, in reliance on the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and covenants of the Insured contained herein, and in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions contained herein, including the Declarations, Coverage Certificates and any exhibits, schedules, endorsements or other documents attached hereto or incorporated herein by reference, which together shall constitute this Lender Protection Insurance Policy (this “Policy”), Lexington Insurance Company (the “Insurer”) and Imperial Life Financing II, LLC (the “Insured”) agree as follows:
Section I. Insuring Agreement and Loss Calculation
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy:
This Policy covers loss arising in respect of Coverage Certificates issued by the Insurer to the Insured during the Term of this Policy. If the Outstanding Loan Balance applicable to any Covered Loan is greater than zero (0) on the date the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a related Proof of Loss to the Insurer, then the Insurer shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such related Proof of Loss, pay to the Insured, via electronic funds transfer to the Insured’s Account the applicable Outstanding Loan Balance as of the related Payment Date.
For purposes of this Policy, “Outstanding Loan Balance” means, for each Covered Loan, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Covered Loan Amount (as adjusted downward, on a dollar for dollar basis, if the amount of covered life insurance premium actually borrowed under such Covered Loan as of such calculation date is less than the Covered Life Insurance Premium) plus (ii) the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount (adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with Section IV.C) minus (iii) the applicable Covered Loan Settlement-Related Amount.
For the avoidance of doubt, if any premium in excess of the Total Life Insurance Premium is paid to a Life Insurance Carrier with respect to a Covered Policy for the purpose of (a) keeping such Covered Policy in force beyond the sixtieth (60th) day after the Maturity Date to the extent required by this Policy or (b) complying with Section IV.D(2), then such excess premium shall not be included in the calculation of Outstanding Loan Balance unless (i) the Insurer shall have agreed in writing to include such excess premium in the calculation of Outstanding Loan Balance and (ii) the Insured shall have paid to the Insurer any applicable additional LPIC Premium required in consideration of the Insurer’s agreement to do so.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, payment of loss under this Policy shall only be made

in full compliance with all United States of America economic or trade sanction laws or regulations, including without limitation sanctions, laws and regulations administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).
Section II. Limit of Liability
With respect to each Covered Loan, the Limit of Liability is the maximum amount that the Insurer will pay under this Policy.
Section III. LPIC Premium
A.   With respect to each Covered Loan, the Insurer’s receipt of the LPIC Premium on or before the related Coverage Certificate Effective Date is a condition precedent to any coverage being provided by this Policy for such Covered Loan; provided, however, that the Insurer’s receipt of such LPIC Premium no later than one (1) Business Day following the related Coverage Certificate Effective Date shall be deemed to satisfy such condition precedent with regard to the related Covered Loan.
 
B.   All LPIC Premium shall be paid to the Insurer by wire transfer in immediately available funds, free and clear of any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction.

A.   For each applicable Covered Policy, an amount of premium shall have been paid to the applicable Life Insurance Carrier so that such Covered Policy has remained continuously in force through the sixtieth (60th) day after the related Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this condition precedent shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to a Covered Policy if the aggregate amount of premium paid to the applicable Life Insurance Carrier prior to the lapse of such Covered Policy equaled or exceeded the Total Life Insurance Premium set forth in the related Coverage Certificate.
 
B.   For any Covered Policy for which a Bankruptcy-Related Failure to Sell has occurred, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer or any other Person (other than the Insurer) shall have paid or caused to be paid all premiums necessary to keep such Covered Policy in force for the period extending from the [*] ([*]th) day after the Maturity Date up to and including the [*] ([*]th) day after the Maturity Date; provided, that the Insurer may, in its sole discretion, waive this condition precedent, by express notice of waiver in writing to the Insured, following the Insurer’s evaluation of the relevant Covered Policy for which a Bankruptcy-Related Failure to Sell has occurred.
 
C.   The Insured or the LPIC Servicer shall have submitted to the Insurer, on or before the [*] ([*]th) day after the related Loss Notification Date (the “Proof of Loss Due Date”), a Proof of Loss relating to such Covered Loan; provided that:
  (1)   if, on or prior to the Proof of Loss Due Date, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a Proof of Loss, or a document that would qualify as a Proof of Loss but for the fact that such document is not properly completed and duly executed, and if the Insurer notifies the Insured that such document was not properly completed and/or duly executed, and if the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a properly completed and duly executed replacement Proof of Loss to the Insurer within [*] ([*]) Business Days after the Insured’s receipt of such notification from the Insurer, then in each case the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the Payment Date;
 
  (2)   if, on or prior to the Proof of Loss Due Date, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a document that would qualify as a Proof of Loss but for the fact that such document is not properly completed and duly executed, and if the Insurer notifies the Insured that such document was not properly completed and/or duly executed, but neither the Insured nor the LPIC Servicer submits a properly completed and duly executed Proof of Loss to the Insurer within [*] ([*]) Business Days after the Insured’s receipt of such notification from the Insurer, then the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the Proof of Loss Due Date; and
 
  (3)   if the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a Proof of Loss to the Insurer after the Proof of Loss Due Date but on or before the [*] ([*]th) day after the Loss Notification Date, then the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the Proof of Loss Due Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a Proof of Loss to the Insurer after the Proof of Loss Due Date but prior to the date by which a Proof of Loss must be submitted to the Insurer to avoid the related loss being excluded from coverage under this Policy in accordance with Section V.D, then the related Outstanding

A Proof of Loss or replacement Proof of Loss that is submitted by the Insured to the Insurer pursuant to this Section IV.C. shall be deemed to be properly completed and duly executed by the Insured absent written notice to the contrary sent by the Insurer to the Insured within [*] ([*]) Business Days of the Insurer’s receipt of such Proof of Loss or replacement Proof of Loss.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsections (1), (2) and (3) above of this Section IV.C, with respect to each Covered Policy that is not an Exempt Covered Policy, if the Unencumbered Covered Policy Date applicable to such Covered Policy occurs on a day that is after the [*] ([*]th) day following the Maturity Date of the related Covered Loan, but that is on or before the [*] ([*]th) day after the Maturity Date of the related Covered Loan, then the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the [*] ([*]th) day following the Maturity Date of the related Covered Loan.
D.   With regard to each Covered Policy that is not an Exempt Covered Policy:
  (1)   the Insured (or the Collateral Agent on its behalf) shall have obtained rights in such Covered Policy, or in the related Beneficial Interest (provided that nothing prohibits the Insured, or any other Person to whom the Beneficial Interest is transferred, from having such Covered Policy removed from the related Trust and transferred to the Insured or such other Person), to the extent necessary to cause such Covered Policy or such Beneficial Interest to be sold or otherwise disposed of free and clear of any lien or encumbrance (the date on which such rights are obtained by the Insured or the Collateral Agent, the “Unencumbered Covered Policy Date”);
 
  (2)   on the related Unencumbered Covered Policy Date, such Covered Policy must be in force and remain in force for a minimum of [*] ([*]) consecutive days thereafter without any additional premium payments required (other than any additional premium payments, if any, that have already been paid prior to such Unencumbered Covered Policy Date); and
 
  (3)   within five (5) Business Days of the Unencumbered Covered Policy Date, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer shall have instructed the Remarketing Agent to sell or otherwise dispose of such Covered Policy or related Beneficial Interest.
E.   In the event of any foreclosure on, or other transfer of, a Covered Policy or the related Beneficial Interest in satisfaction of a Covered Loan (provided that nothing prohibits the Insured, or any other party to whom the Beneficial Interest is transferred, from having such Covered Policy removed from the related Trust and transferred to the Insured or such other party), then (i) the Insured shall have instructed the Remarketing Agent to sell or otherwise dispose of such Covered Policy or such Beneficial Interest, (ii) the Insured, upon request of the Remarketing Agent, shall have delivered to the Remarketing Agent or the purchaser of such Covered Policy or such Beneficial Interest all documentation relating thereto and (iii) the Insured shall not have instructed, caused or permitted any

N.   Unwinding of Covered Policies: Notwithstanding any other provision in this Policy, if, after the issuance of a Coverage Certificate, the applicable Retail Borrower exercises its right to cancel a Covered Policy relating to the applicable Covered Loan within the applicable Free Look Period, then (1) all coverage under this Policy relating to such Coverage Certificate shall be void ab initio, (2) the Insurer shall return to the Insured all previously received Premium relating to such Covered Loan and (3) each of the Insurer and the Insured shall bear its own costs and expenses relating thereto, with no rights to indemnification from the other party for such costs and expenses.

P.   Inadvertent Errors: If, after the issuance of a Coverage Certificate, the Insurer or the Insured discovers that an inadvertent error has been made in such Coverage Certificate, such party shall promptly notify the other party of such inadvertent error. Following such notification, such inadvertent error may be corrected with the issuance of a replacement Coverage Certificate, but only under one of the following circumstances: (i) such inadvertent error was an inadvertent omission, incorrect reference, typographical error or unintended inconsistency in any Application for Lender Protection Insurance Coverage or any Coverage Certificate and the issuance of the revised Coverage Certificate would not adversely affect the rights of the Insurer, the Insured or any Wholesale Lender Party; (ii)(x) concurrently with the issuance of such revised Coverage Certificate, any Covered Loan and any related loan made by a Wholesale Lender Party under the Wholesale Loan Agreement is repaid to the extent necessary to restore the Insurer, the Insured and any Wholesale Lender Party to the same position that each such Person would have occupied had such inadvertent error not occurred and (y) the issuance of the revised Coverage Certificate would not adversely affect the rights of the Insurer, the Insured or any Wholesale Lender Party; or (iii) any other circumstance in which the issuance of such revised Coverage Certificate would not adversely affect the rights of the Insurer, the Insured or any Wholesale Lender Party.

Re:    Proof of Loss for Lender Protection Insurance Coverage
     Reference is hereby made to (i) the Lender Protection Insurance Policy, Policy Number 7113486, with an effective date of March 13, 2009, issued by Lexington Insurance Company (the “Insurer”); (ii) the Coverage Certificate, Certificate Number [], dated as of [DATE], issued by the Insurer; and (iii) each life insurance policy (each such policy, a “Covered Policy”) with respect to such Coverage Certificate issued by [INSERT LIFE INSURANCE CARRIER’S NAME] (each, a “Life Insurance Carrier”).

     If the Insured is transferring ownership of the related Covered Policy, then on or before the Payment Date, the Insured shall provide evidence that (i) the Insured has filed, or if the Insured is not authorized to so file, has caused the relevant party so authorized to file, in accordance with the terms of such Covered Policy, a change of ownership form with the Life Insurance Carrier that issued such Covered Policy requesting the ownership of such Covered

Local Counsel Opinion Questions
(Loan State)
1.   Does the state in which a Retail Loan will be made to a Retail Lender (the “Loan State”) have a usury law that is applicable to the individual lending transactions in the contemplated program; if so, what is the maximum permissible interest rate under the usury law; and if relevant, whether any loan origination fees and any pass-through of the life insurance policy premium and other fees to be charged would be included as part of “interest” under such usury law?
 
2.   Does the Loan State have an insurance premium finance law and, if so, does such law apply to the individual lending transactions in the contemplated program? If so, would the lending transactions and the related Loan Documents be in compliance with such premium finance law? Do the Loan State’s general consumer lending laws apply to the Retail Loans and/or to the Retail Lender if there is not a premium finance law in effect in the Loan State or if there is not an Imperial Party that is a licensed premium finance company in the Loan State? If so, would the individual lending transactions and the related Loan Documents be in compliance with the general consumer lending laws?
 
3.   Does the Loan State have a life or viatical settlement law and, if so, does it apply to the individual lending transactions in the contemplated program? If yes, then how?
 
4.   Are life insurance policies assignable to a lender as security under the Loan State’s law?
 
5.   What are the minimum criteria needed to establish an irrevocable life insurance trust in the Loan State?

Local Counsel Opinion Questions
(Policy State)
1.   What are the minimum criteria needed to establish an irrevocable life insurance trust in the state where the irrevocable life insurance trust was domiciled at the time that it purchased the policy (the “Policy State”)?
 
2.   What are the minimum criteria needed to amend the terms of the trust agreement of an irrevocable life insurance trust validly established or existing under the laws of the Policy State?
 
3.   What state’s insurable interest laws would a state court (or a federal court) apply to determine whether an irrevocable life insurance trust (or its trustee) has an insurable interest in the life of the insured (assuming that a case would be brought in and remain in either state or federal court in the Policy State, rather than a state or federal court in the home state of the insured)?
