     Termination Date pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof."

b.   The definition of "Material Adverse Effect" set forth in Section 1.1 of the
Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     "'Material Adverse Effect' shall mean a material adverse effect on the

     Person and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or on the ability of a Person
     to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Combination and
     Investment Agreement; provided, however, the following events, occurrences,
     developments or state of circumstances or facts shall not in and of
     themselves be deemed to constitute a material adverse effect on the
     business, results of operations, or financial or other condition of such
     Person and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole:

          i)   a downgrade of any Indianapolis Life Company by any rating agency
          but excluding (A) a rating downgrade of one or more of Indianapolis
          Life, Bankers Life or Western Security by A.M. Best Company, Inc. to
          less than 'A-' and (B) the potential and/or actual cause(s) and
          effect(s) of such downgrade(s);

          ii)  any decrease in sales of fixed annuities at IL Annuity;

          iii) an annualized lapse rate for fixed annuities at IL Annuity,
          calculated for any month based on the three-month period ending with
          such month, that does not exceed 27%;

          iv)  an increase in the annualized lapse rate for fixed annuities at
          IL Annuity for any two-month period commencing on or after the
          Commencement Date (as defined below) (referred to in this section iv

          only:

               (A) to the extent that such increase in Lapse Rate for any such
               period is primarily because of an average monthly total
               investment return on the convertible bond investment portfolio of
               IL Annuity (for purposes of this



                                       2

               monthly total investment return reported for the Merrill Lynch
               Investment Grade Convertible Bond Index (Index Code VOS1) (for
               purposes of this item iv, the "Index Return"), is less than both:

               (1) 40% below the Index Return, and

               (2) 150 basis points below the Index Return, if the Index Return
                   is greater than or equal to 0%, or 100 basis points below the
                   Index Return, if the Index Return is a negative number,

               where both the Portfolio Return and the Index Return are
               calculated for any month as the average of the monthly return for
               such month and the prior month, with the first such two-month
               period commencing on the first day of the first month (the
               "Commencement Date") after AmerUs Capital Management has directly
               managed the convertible bond portfolio of IL Annuity without the
               presence of any other investment advisor advising on or trading
               any assets of such portfolio for a period of at least 60 days;
               and

               (B) if IL Annuity follows AmerUs' advice and direction concerning
               the acquisition and disposition of assets in the convertible bond
               portfolio of IL Annuity, to the extent such advice and direction
               are consistent with IL Annuity's investment guidelines as of the
               date hereof;

          v)   total out-of-pocket demutualization expenses that do not exceed
          $21 million in the aggregate, not including fees paid or payable to
          Goldman, Sachs & Co. pursuant to the engagement letter, dated
          September 21, 1999, without regard to any amendment thereof;

          vi)  year 2000 mutual company surplus tax payable by Indianapolis
          Life;

          vii) the elimination of sales of participating policies (both direct
          and private label) by Indianapolis Life commencing in October, 2000;

          viii) the events, occurrences, developments or state of circumstances
          or facts listed on Schedules 7.1, 7.1(f) and 7.1(k), but only to the
          extent described in such Schedules;

          ix)  the Combination Closing; and

          direct effect on any Indianapolis Life Company Statement includes the
          effect on the GAAP and SAP financial statements of (A) the majority
          shareholder of such company (the "Parent") and (B) the majority
