As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, in connection with
the 1999 Acquisition on July 30, 1999, (see Note 3) the
Company had an $80 million credit facility consisting of
a $70 million term loan and a $10 million revolving loan
facility. The term loan calls for interest at the London
Interbank Offering Rate for one, two, three or six months
("LIBOR") plus 350 basis points (currently 9.0425%) with
principal repayment over a seven-year period and a final
maturity date of July 31, 2006. The term loan is secured
by a first priority interest in 100% of the outstanding common
stock of American Exchange, American Progressive,
PFI, Inc. (an immaterial subsidiary), Quincy (an immaterial
subsidiary), WorldNet and 65% of the outstanding
common stock of UAFC (Canada) Inc. (the 100% parent
of PennCorp Life of Canada). In addition, the Company
incurred loan origination fees of $3.5 million, which
were capitalized and will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the loan. For the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Company paid $7.1 million in
interest and fees in connection with the credit facility. The
Company paid $1.5 million in principal on July 31,
2000 and $1.9 million in principal on October 31,
