DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Fair Fund is comprised of the $15,000,000 paid by CIHC, Conseco Services, and CES, plus accumulated interest, less any federal, state, or local taxes on the interest. The Distribution Plan provides for distribution of the Fair Fund to provide restitution for losses caused by Respondents' permitting market timing in Conseco variable annuities despite prospectus disclosures from December 1999 through October 2002. If the Distribution Plan is approved, any parties that were invested in such variable annuities and are not "Identified Market Timers" as defined in the Distribution Plan may receive restitution. The restitution amounts will be calculated from information in Respondents' records, and records obtained from third-parties. The Fair Fund is not being distributed according to a claims-made process.

For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.
