This summarizes the opinion that they will write. I shared with Jeffrey that we have not
completed our first deal(we have been in the market for 3 months) and they will write
the opinion on each deal. We are happy to put him in touch with the specific attorney at
Mayer Brown if he would like to speak with them. Sorry for any confusion but I believe
that is what my partner Alan was attempting to say. I probably should have mentioned
this to Jeffrey yesterday to avoid confusion.

Jeffrey-
As a follow up to our discussions, I wanted to share additional information
on the Evergreen PPVUL policy with you.
Summary information regarding a $1 billion investment in two different
policies is attached. The first is a $500 million 7702(a) compliant policy
(Kingswood), and the second is a $500 million 7702(g) compliant policy
(Cedarwood). You'll see that breakeven is achieved in the year following
issuance. By year 20, the after-tax value of the Evergreen policies exceeds
taxable account performance by $1.4 billion ($3.8 billion vs. $2.4 billion).
By year 30, the Evergreen policies outperform the taxable account by $3
billion ($7.4 billion vs. $3.4 billion).
The above numbers assume the following fees and charges.
Upfront fees consist of the following:
EFTA_R1_00798552
EFTA02142684
Upfront charges: $11.5 million (2% on first $100 million, 1.5% on
next $100 million, 1% thereafter). Note consists of approximately
$500,000 in legal fees with the balance allocated between the
party arranging for the insured lives and a sales charge
Issue fee: $3.9 million ($300 per life)
DAC tax: $7 million (70 bps)
Ongoing fees consist of the following:
Cost of insurance: charged at standard rates based on the age/sex
of underlying insureds
M&E fee: 65 bps per annum
Administrative fee: $100 per life
Our attorneys at Mayer Brown have handled the legal work associated
with the structure. In order to provide an overview of the review and
analysis performed to date, I attach a legal summary containing the
following:
1) Summary of Legal Opinions: Provides an overview of tax, insurable
interest and ERISA opinions that will be provided at closing. The
opinions are not yet written, but this reflects the scope
2) 7702(g) Opinion Overview: Provides an overview of the legal
opinion which will be provided in connection with the Cedarwood
7702(g) product and the relevant legal analysis
2) Wal-Mart Case: Provides an overview of a well-known case that
concerned the issues that arose when Wal-Mart purchased life
insurance policies (commonly referred to as janitor insurance) on
the lives of its employees. The memo explains how the Evergreen
programs do not violate the legal principles described in that case,
including insurable interest considerations
3) Recovery Statutes: Explains why the risk is remote that an insured
or his estate could bring a successful claim under a recovery
statute
4) STOLI: Provides an overview of Stranger Owned Life Insurance and
its relevance to insurable interest laws. The memo explains how
Evergreen is not STOLI and does not violate STOLI legislation
5) Public Policy and Insurable Interest: Provides a summary of the
conclusions in the prior three memos with respect to insurable
interest and public policy considerations)
I think you'll find there are no comparable products in the marketable that
allow for the acquisition of such a sizable amount of insurance, except for
the standard 7702(g) policies. The Cedarwood 7702(g) product does offer
a major structural advantage to its competitors in that it allows for annual
distributions over the life of the policy.
As I mentioned, Withers is familiar with the structure, and Jim Brockway
has spent the most time on it. We look forward to discussing the above in
more detail and are, of course, happy to answer any questions or provide
EFTA_R1_00798553
EFTA02142685
more information.

Louis
