1.
All proceeds of WESTERN RESERVE LIFE ASSURANCE CO. OF

dismiss with prejudice any currently pending action, aside from the present one,
against WRL for recovery of benefits under the Policy that are payable by reason
of the decedent’s death;

That, having deposited the Policy proceeds plus interest with the
Clerk of the Court, WRL, and its past, present and future parents, subsidiaries,
