EXHIBIT 4
REGAN HOLDING CORP.
AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDER'S AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDER'S AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
made this 30th day of June, 2003, by and among Lynda Regan, ("Regan"), Regan
Holding Corp. ("RHC"), a California corporation, Alysia Anne Regan, Melissa
Louise Regan, and RAM Investments (Lynda Regan as Trustee), a trust formed under
the laws of the State of California.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, RHC has authorized capital stock consisting of 100,000,000
shares of common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of which the
following shares of Common Stock are currently issued, outstanding and owned
beneficially by Regan as follows:
Shareholder Shares
----------- ------
RAM Investments 11,292,622
(Lynda Regan as Trustee)
WHEREAS, the parties hereto believe that the execution of this
Agreement will facilitate the continuous, harmonious and effective management of
the affairs, policies, and operations of RHC;
WHEREAS, the parties intend to allow RHC to purchase shares of Common
Stock owned beneficially by Regan upon her death;
WHEREAS, the parties intend to allow Regan's representatives to sell
shares of Common Stock owned beneficially by Regan to RHC upon her death;
WHEREAS, the parties believe that the restrictions that this Agreement
places upon Regan's shares combined with the number of shares that she controls
entitles her to receive additional consideration if RHC repurchases them;
WHEREAS, the parties have entered into the Regan Holding Corp.
Shareholder's Agreement, dated May 27, 1998 (the "Shareholder's Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed that the Shareholder's
Agreement be amended and restated as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Insurance.
RHC shall make application for, take out and maintain in effect such
insurance policies on the life of Regan whenever and in such amounts as, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors of RHC, may be required to fulfill its
obligations under Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement. Such insurance shall be
listed in the Life Insurance Schedule attached hereto as Schedule A and
incorporated by reference herein (such policies are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Life Policies"). RHC shall maintain such Life Policies in
full force and effect and shall not, without the prior written consent of Regan,
cancel any Life Policy or take or omit to take any action which might give rise
to the termination or cancellation thereof. RHC shall pay all premiums on all
Life Policies carried by it
pursuant to this Agreement as such premiums become due and shall, upon written
notice from Regan, give due proof of such payment to Regan within five days
after receipt of such written notice. If any premium on any such Life Policy is
not paid within 20 days after its due date, Regan may pay or cause to be paid
the premium on such Life Policy and shall be entitled to reimbursement from RHC
therefor. RHC may apply any dividends declared on any Life Policies to the
payment of premiums.
2. Option to Sell upon Death.
2.1. Upon the death of Regan (the "Decedent"), the Decedent's
personal representative(s) and/or trustee(s) of trust(s) created during Regan's
lifetime (collectively, the "Representatives") shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to sell, at their option, all or a portion of the shares of Common
Stock of RHC owned of record and beneficially by the Decedent at the time of her
death (the "Decedent Shares") or that were transferred by Regan during her
lifetime to trust(s) (the "Trust Shares"). Upon receipt of notice from one or
more of the Decedent's Representatives of their intent to sell a portion of the
Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares to RHC, RHC shall purchase such number of
Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares that the Representatives elect to sell. RHC
shall by written notice addressed to the Representatives fix a closing date (the
"Decedent Closing Date") for the purchase of such number of the Decedent Shares
and/or Trust Shares. The Decedent Closing Date shall not be less than ten days
after the appointment of such Representatives or notification to the trustee(s),
whichever event is earliest, nor more than six months after RHC receives the
notice of intent to sell. RHC shall purchase and the Representatives shall sell
such number of the Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares on the Decedent Closing
Date at a price per share (the "Decedent Purchase Price") which shall be 125% of
the Stated Value (as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement) per share of the
Decedent Shares or as otherwise determined pursuant to Section 4 of this
Agreement.
2.2. The dollar amount of the Decedent Purchase Price
multiplied by the number of Decedent Shares so owned by the Decedent at the date
of death of the Decedent and/or Trustee Shares (the "Aggregate Decedent Purchase
Price") shall be paid in cash on the Decedent Closing Date to the extent of the
cash proceeds received by RHC under the Life Policies insuring the life of the
Decedent (the "Insurance Proceeds") and neither the Decedent nor her
Representatives shall have any right, title or interest in or to any Insurance
Proceeds in excess of the Decedent Purchase Price. In the event that the
Aggregate Decedent Purchase Price shall exceed the dollar amount of Insurance
Proceeds (the "Decedent Insurance Purchase Price Cash Shortfall"), RHC shall pay
the Decedent Insurance Purchase Price Cash Shortfall in cash.
3. Option to Purchase upon Death.
3.1. Upon the death of Regan, RHC shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to buy, at its option, all or a portion of the Decedent
Shares or the Trust Shares. Upon receipt of notice from the Company of its
intent to buy all or a portion of the Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares, the
Representatives shall sell such number of Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares
that RHC elects to buy. RHC shall by written notice addressed to the
Representatives fix a closing date (the "Company Closing Date") for the purchase
of such number of the Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares. The Company Closing
Date shall not be less than ten days after the appointment of such
Representatives or notification to the trustee(s), whichever event is earliest,
nor more than six months after the first Representative receives the notice of
RHC's intent to buy. The Representatives shall sell and RHC shall purchase such
number of the Decedent Shares and/or Trust Shares on the Company Closing Date at
the Decedent Purchase Price which shall be 125% of the Stated Value (as defined
in Section 4 of this Agreement) per share of the Decedent Shares or as otherwise
determined pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.
3.2. The dollar amount of the Aggregate Decedent Purchase
Price shall be paid in cash on the Company Closing Date to the extent of the
cash proceeds received by RHC under the Insurance Proceeds and neither the
Decedent nor her Representatives shall have any right, title or interest in or
to any Insurance Proceeds in excess of the Decedent Purchase Price. In the event
that the Aggregate Decedent Purchase Price shall exceed the Decedent Insurance
Purchase Price Cash Shortfall, RHC shall pay the Decedent Insurance Purchase
Price Cash Shortfall in cash.

4. Stated Value.
RHC issues a Stated Value every six months. The "Stated Value" is the
value of the Company's Series A Non Redeemable common stock as determined by an
independent appraiser for financial reporting purposes. The Stated Value shall
be determined based on a discounted cash flow approach after consideration of
outstanding options and with the recognition of a marketability discount of 35%.
If RHC fails to give a Stated Value for six months, the Stated Value shall be
107.5% of the previous Stated Value or the fair market value (whichever is
greater).
5. Delivery of Certificates.
On the Decedent Closing Date or the Company Closing Date (the
"Closing"), the purchase by RHC of the Shares shall take place at 10:00 a.m. at
a location designated by RHC. At the Closing, the stock certificate or
certificates representing the Shares shall be delivered to RHC duly endorsed in
blank, and RHC shall pay the Aggregate Decedent Purchase Price therefor in cash.
6. Termination.
This Agreement shall be perpetual until the happening of the first of
any of the events listed below:
6.1. An agreement in writing prior to the death of Regan
between RHC and Regan to terminate this Agreement.
6.2. The dissolution of RHC prior to the death of Regan.

beneficially or of record in accordance herewith.
10. Transfer of Shares. The parties agree that Regan's shares may be

balance being paid to the certificate holder) or transferred to any trust or
estate planning vehicle with fifteen days
3
notice to the parties without being bound by the restrictions contained herein.
However, when Regan dies, Melissa Louise Regan and Alysia Anne Regan agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement as to any stock of
RHC that they own at Regan's death.
11. Miscellaneous.
11.1. This instrument contains the entire, integrated

encumbrances of any kind except as reflected by any endorsements on the
