__________, and all my right, title, and interest therein except as provided in Section 3 hereof,
subject to all the terms and conditions of the policy and to all superior liens, if any, that insurer

2. Rights of assignee. Assignor agrees that the following specific rights pass to
assignee by virtue of this agreement:
a. The sole right to collect from insurer the net proceeds of the policy when it becomes a
claim by death or maturity;
b. The sole right to surrender the policy and receive the surrender value thereof at any
time provided by the terms of the policy and at such other times as insurer may allow, and the full
right to obtain one or more loans or advances on the policy from insurer, such rights subject
however, to the provisions of Section 5a hereof;
c. The sole right to collect and receive all distributions or shares of surplus, dividend
deposits, or additions to the policy now or hereafter made or apportioned thereto, and to exercise
any and all options contained in the policy with respect thereto; provided, that unless and until
assignee shall notify insurer in writing to the contrary, the distributions or shares of surplus,
dividend deposits, and additions shall continue on the plan in force at the time of this assignment;
and
d. The sole right to exercise all non-forfeiture rights permitted by the terms of the policy or
allowed by insurer and to receive all benefits and advantages derived therefrom.
3. Rights reserved by assignor. It is expressly agreed that so long as the policy has not
been surrendered, the following specific rights are reserved and excluded from this assignment
and do not pass to assignee by virtue hereof:

reduce the amount of insurance;
b. The right to designate and change the beneficiary; and
c. The right to elect any optional mode of settlement permitted by the policy or allowed by
insurer.
4. Indebtedness secured. This assignment is made as collateral security for any and all
indebtedness of assignor to assignee, either now existing or that may hereafter arise between
assignor and assignee. Assignee agrees to apply any and all money received from insurer to the
satisfaction of such indebtedness, and to pay to assignor, his legal representatives, heirs, or
assigns, any balance remaining after payment of the indebtedness existing at the time of such
payment.
5. Covenants of assignee. Assignee covenants that:
a. Assignee will not exercise either the right to surrender the policy or, except for the
purpose of paying premiums, the right to obtain policy loans from insurer, until there has been
default in any of the then existing indebtedness secured by this assignment or a failure to pay any
premium when due, or until thirty (30) days after assignee shall have mailed to assignor, at the
address last supplied in writing to assignee, notice of intention to exercise such right, with specific
reference to this assignment; and
b. Assignee will, on request, forward without unreasonable delay to insurer the policy for
endorsement of any designation or change of beneficiary or any election of an optional mode of
settlement.
6. Payment of charges on policy. Assignor agrees to pay, and assignee shall be under no
obligation to pay, any premium, or the principal of or interest on any loans or advances on the
policy whether or not obtained by assignee, or any other charges on the policy. However, any
such amounts so paid by assignee shall become a part of the indebtedness hereby secured,
shall be due immediately, and shall draw interest at the rate of _(11)_ percent (_(12)_%) per year
from date of payment.
