Article III

 

Premiums

 

A.            Plans of insurance listed in Exhibit B will be reinsured on the yearly renewable term basis with the REINSURER participating only in mortality risks (not cash values, loans, dividends or other features specific to permanent policies).  The mortality risk shall be the net amount at risk (“NAR”) on that portion of the policy which is reinsured with the REINSURER.

 

B.            Premiums for Life Reinsurance and reinsurance of Supplemental Benefits will be based on the rates and allowances described in Exhibit C.

 

C.            Premiums will be increased by any flat extra premium charged the insured based on the ceded NAR as described in Exhibit C.

 

D.            There will be no premium tax reimbursement.

 

E.             The reinsurance rates shown in Exhibit C are guaranteed for one year and the REINSURER anticipates continuing to accept premiums on the basis of these rates indefinitely.  In subsequent years, the REINSURER reserves the right to increase such rates provided, however, that:

 

1.              The reinsurance rates may not be increased above the statutory net valuation premium applicable to the reinsured policies after such increase,

 

2.              The reinsurance rates may, at the REINSURER’s option, be increased to the extent required to ensure that the REINSURER will participate in its share of any increases in premium rates, costs, charges or fees as implemented by the CEDING COMPANY with respect to the reinsured policies.

 

If the REINSURER exercises its right to increase reinsurance rates under this AGREEMENT in an amount greater than that required to ensure that the REINSURER will participate in its share of any increases in premium rates, costs, charges or fees as implemented by the CEDING COMPANY for the reinsured policies, the CEDING COMPANY may recapture all of the reinsured policies on which reinsurance rates have been increased regardless of the reinsured policies’ duration in force.  If the CEDING COMPANY elects to recapture under this provision, the following terminal accounting will occur: REINSURER will pay the CEDING COMPANY any unearned premium  under this AGREEMENT prior to the effective date of recapture, the CEDING COMPANY will pay the REINSURER any due, but unpaid premiums up to the effective date of recapture, REINSURER shall not be liable under this AGREEMENT for any claims incurred after the date of recapture, but shall remain liable for all claims incurred on or prior to the date of recapture.  There will be no transfer of reserves between REINSURER and the CEDING COMPANY for any policy recaptured under this AGREEMENT and any other amounts due and unpaid will also be paid prior to the effective date of recapture.

 

F.              Reinsurance premiums are due as long as reinsurance is in force.

Article XVIII

 

Increasing Net Amount at Risk Policies and Riders

 

I.             Business Reinsured on an Automatic Basis

 

Whenever the death benefit and/or the net amount at risk (NAR) on a policy will be increased at future date(s) and these increasing risks will be automatically reinsured under this AGREEMENT, they will be handled as shown below.  The CEDING COMPANY will use the highest amount projected in all future years to determine whether these policies comply with the binding and jumbo limits shown in Exhibit D.  The CEDING COMPANY also underwrites at issue based on the highest amount.  The projected highest amount in all years will also be used to determine the CEDING COMPANY’s retention at issue and the percentage of future changes in NAR as they occur.  As long as the CEDING COMPANY follows the procedures as outlined, the REINSURER will assume its prorata share of all NAR changes as they occur.  In no case will the reinsured automatic portion exceed the automatic binding limits.  However, if the actual death benefit and/or NAR on a given life exceeds the automatic binding limits shown in Exhibit D, then the CEDING COMPANY will be on the risk for any excess unless alternative arrangements are made at that time.  Automatic binding limits are applied by the CEDING COMPANY to the life, not just to a specific policy.

 

A.            “VART” (Variable Annual Renewable Term rider)

 

1.              VART is a rider with scheduled coverage amounts that can vary annually.  The coverage amounts are scheduled at issue and taken from the illustration at the time the policy is issued.

 

2.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the highest VART amount in all years as the VART total coverage face amount.  Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the CEDING COMPANY retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A.  The face amount ceded will be the REINSURER’s portion of the highest VART amount based on the REINSURER’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for VART riders.  Premium paid the REINSURER for VART riders is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

4.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

B.            Death Benefit Option C (Face Amount Plus Accumulated Premiums Paid Minus Withdrawals)

 

1.              Death Benefit Option C is underwritten and reported as the base coverage face amount plus the total projected premium to be paid in all future years, but not including the projected withdrawals, taken from the illustration at the time the policy is issued.

 

2.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the total projected Option C death benefit.  Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the CEDING COMPANY retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A.  The death benefit amount ceded will be the REINSURER’s portion of the total face amount based on the REINSURER’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for coverages with Option C.  Premium paid the REINSURER for Option C coverages is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.  The actual NAR reflects the face amount plus premiums paid, less withdrawals made, less the actual account value.

 

4.              Actual death benefit (used to calculate NAR and death benefit payable) will be calculated using the face amount, plus the actual premium paid, less actual withdrawals.  The REINSURER’s ultimate potential liability will be no greater than the original projected liability as defined in item 1 above.

 


 

Article XVIII

 

Increasing Net Amount at Risk Policies and Riders, continued

 

C.            Death Benefit Option D (Up to Two Times the Initial Face Amount)

 

1.              Death Benefit Option D (which is a special case of VART) is underwritten and reported as two times the Initial Face Amount for all coverages issued with the policy.

 

2.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the ultimate doubled face amount for all Option D coverages issued with the policy.  Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the CEDING COMPANY retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A.  The face amount ceded will be the REINSURER’s portion of the total face amount based on the REINSURER’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for policies with Option D.  Premium paid the REINSURER for policies with Option D is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

4.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

D.            SIR (Scheduled Increase Rider) (Refer to PL Rider # R10SIR for additional detail)

 

1.              SIR is a rider that can have up to a maximum of 10 annual increases which are scheduled at issue.  The percentage must be the same for each increase, and the increases must be completed within 10 years.

 

2.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the highest SIR amount in all years as the total coverage face amount.  Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the CEDING COMPANY retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A.  The face amount ceded will be the REINSURER’s portion of the highest SIR amount based on the REINSURER’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for SIR riders.  Premium paid the REINSURER for SIR riders is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

4.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

5.              The SIR rider is not allowed on a policy with either the Flexible Duration No Lapse Guarantee rider or the VART rider.

 

II.            Business Reinsured on a Facultative Basis

 

1.                                      For policies with an increasing death benefit or net amount at risk which will be reinsured on a Facultative basis, the CEDING COMPANY has the responsibility to clearly identify the highest projected death benefit as the face amount to be reinsured at the time a request for coverage is made so that the REINSURER’s underwriters are aware of the highest projected death benefit amount.  The highest net amount at risk reinsured can never exceed the amount of the REINSURER’s offer.  Year to year changes in risk will be shared proportionately, determined by the amount of retention relative to the amount of reinsurance, unless specified otherwise.

 

2.                                      The CEDING COMPANY may ultimately retain up to double the normal retention or higher with appropriate internal approval.

 


 

Article XVIII

 

Increasing Net Amount at Risk Policies and Riders, continued

 

III.                              Net Amount at Risk and Face Amount Changes

 

The net amount at risk retained and ceded change proportionally as the policy NAR changes.  The face amount retained and ceded increases or decreases proportionally as the face amount of the coverage changes.

 

The CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER will share proportionately in face amount increases due to compliance with the requirements of Section 7702 of the Code.

5.              Death Benefit Option D (which is a special case of VART) is underwritten and reported as two times the Initial Face Amount for all coverages issued with the policy.

 

6.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the ultimate doubled face amount for all Option D coverages issued with the policy.  Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the CEDING COMPANY retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A.  The face amount ceded will be the REINSURER’s portion of the total face amount based on the REINSURER’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

7.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for policies with Option D.  Premium paid the REINSURER for policies with Option D is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

8.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

E.             SIR (Scheduled Increase Rider) (Refer to PL Rider # R10SIR for additional detail)

 

6.              SIR is a rider that can have up to a maximum of 10 annual increases which are scheduled at issue.  The percentage must be the same for each increase, and the increases must be completed within 10 years.

 

7.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the highest SIR amount in all years as the total coverage face amount.  Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the CEDING COMPANY retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A.  The face amount ceded will be the REINSURER’s portion of the highest SIR amount based on the REINSURER’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

8.              The CEDING COMPANY will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for SIR riders.  Premium paid the REINSURER for SIR riders is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

9.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

10.       The SIR rider is not allowed on a policy with either the Flexible Duration No Lapse Guarantee rider or the VART rider.

 

F.              Chronic Illness (CI) Accelerated Death Benefit Rider (See also attached example below)

 

1.              CI is a rider, available for issue ages 20-75, that allows the policyowner to accelerate the death benefit if the insured becomes chronically ill.  To qualify for the benefits of the Pacific Life CI rider, the chronic illness will have to be expected to be permanent.

 

2.              The maximum benefit payout (in lump sum, or 12 monthly payments) will be the lesser of:

 

a.              24% of the death benefit amount on date of initial claim request times the reduction factor;

 

b.              125% of the annual Per Diem limit declared by the IRS;

 

c.               Current death benefit less any scheduled face increases after initial claim request times the reduction factor; or

 

d.              $1,500,000 less any accelerated benefits paid to date times the reduction factor.

 

3.              The maximum accelerated death benefit is $1,500,000.

 


 

Article XVIII

 

Increasing Net Amount at Risk Policies and Riders, continued

 

4.              The policyowner does not have to take the maximum election at initial claim time; they can take another election each year after the qualifying event.  However, a new certification that the insured is chronically ill will be required for each policy year in which a benefit payment is requested.

 

5.              The total death benefit available will be reduced by the maximum accelerated death benefit limit available for chronic illness.  For example, if someone has an $8,000,000 death benefit and accelerates the maximum accelerated death benefit ($1,500,000) due to chronic illness, the insured still has a $6,500,000 death benefit remaining.  The less that is accelerated; the more death benefit will remain.

 

II.                                   Business Reinsured on a Facultative Basis

 

3.                                      For policies with an increasing death benefit or net amount at risk which will be reinsured on a Facultative basis, the CEDING COMPANY has the responsibility to clearly identify the highest projected death benefit as the face amount to be reinsured at the time a request for coverage is made so that the REINSURER’s underwriters are aware of the highest projected death benefit amount.  The highest net amount at risk reinsured can never exceed the amount of the REINSURER’s offer.  Year to year changes in risk will be shared proportionately, determined by the amount of retention relative to the amount of reinsurance, unless specified otherwise.

 

4.                                      The CEDING COMPANY may ultimately retain up to double the normal retention or higher with appropriate internal approval.

 

III.                              Net Amount at Risk and Face Amount Changes

 

The net amount at risk retained and ceded change proportionally as the policy NAR changes.  The face amount retained and ceded increases or decreases proportionally as the face amount of the coverage changes.

 

The CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER will share proportionately in face amount increases due to compliance with the requirements of Section 7702 of the Code.

Accelerated Living Benefit Rider / Terminal Illness Rider

 

There are no reinsurance premiums for the Accelerated Living Benefits Rider and its successor the Terminal Illness Rider (each individually and together known herein as the “ALBR/TIR”).

 

If a benefit for the ALBR/TIR is paid by the Ceding Company, the Reinsurer will reimburse the Ceding Company for its share of the ALBR/TIR benefit at the time of the payment upon receipt of notification from the Ceding Company that the payment has been made.  The net amount at risk (NAR) reinsured hereunder for the policy will be reduced at the same time as the reduction in the face amount of the policy due to payment by the Ceding Company of the ALBR/TIR benefit.

 

The reinsurance premium paid by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer on a policy will be reduced upon payment of the ABR/TIR benefit on such policy due to the reduction in such policy’s face amount and NAR.

 

Upon the death of the insured, the reinsurance death benefit due the Ceding Company from the Reinsurer is the Reinsurer’s share of the reduced NAR, calculated at the date of death.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF THE PARTIES HERETO have by their respective officers executed this AMENDMENT in duplicate on the dates below to be effective on the amendment effective dates indicated above.

Article XVIII

 

Increasing Net Amount at Risk Policies and Riders

 

I.                                        Business Reinsured on an Automatic Basis

 

Whenever the death benefit and/or the net amount at risk (NAR) on a policy will be increased at future date(s) and these increasing risks will be automatically reinsured under this Agreement, they will be handled as shown below.  The Ceding Company will use the highest amount projected in all future years to determine whether these policies comply with the binding and jumbo limits shown in Exhibit D. The Ceding Company also underwrites at issue based on the highest amount. The projected highest amount in all years will also be used to determine the Ceding Company’s retention at issue and the percentage of future changes in NAR as they occur. As long as the Ceding Company follows the procedures as outlined, the Reinsurer will assume its prorata share of all NAR changes as they occur. In no case will the reinsured automatic portion exceed the automatic binding limits. However, if the actual death benefit and/or NAR on a given life exceeds the automatic binding limits shown in Exhibit D, then the Ceding Company will be on the risk for any excess unless alternative arrangements are made at that time. Automatic binding limits are applied by the Ceding Company to the life, not just to a specific policy.

 

A.            “VART” (Variable Annual Renewable Term rider)

 

1.              VART is a rider with scheduled coverage amounts that can vary annually. The coverage amounts are scheduled at issue and taken from the illustration at the time the policy is issued.

 

2.              The Ceding Company will report the highest VART amount in all years as the VART total coverage face amount. Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the Ceding Company retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A. The face amount ceded will be the Reinsurer’s portion of the highest VART amount based on the Reinsurer’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The Ceding Company will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for VART riders. Premium paid the Reinsurer for VART riders is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

4.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

B.            Death Benefit Option C (Face Amount Plus Accumulated Premiums Paid Minus Withdrawals)

 

1.              Death Benefit Option C is underwritten and reported as the base coverage face amount plus the total projected premium to be paid in all future years, but not including the projected withdrawals, taken from the illustration at the time the policy is issued.

 

2.              The Ceding Company will report the total projected Option C death benefit. Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the Ceding Company retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A. The death benefit amount ceded will be the Reinsurer’s portion of the total face amount based on the Reinsurer’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The Ceding Company will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for coverages with Option C. Premium paid the Reinsurer for Option C coverages is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount. The actual NAR reflects the face amount plus premiums paid, less withdrawals made, less the actual account value.

 

4.              Actual death benefit (used to calculate NAR and death benefit payable) will be calculated using the face amount, plus the actual premium paid, less actual withdrawals. The Reinsurer’s ultimate potential liability

 


 

will be no greater than the original projected liability as defined in item 1 above.

 

C.            Death Benefit Option D (Up to Two Times the Initial Face Amount)

 

1.              Death Benefit Option D (which is a special case of VART) is underwritten and reported as two times the Initial Face Amount for all coverages issued with the policy.

 

2.              The Ceding Company will report the ultimate doubled face amount for all Option D coverages issued with the policy. Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the Ceding Company retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A. The face amount ceded will be the Reinsurer’s portion of the total face amount based on the Reinsurer’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.              The Ceding Company will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for policies with Option D. Premium paid the Reinsurer for policies with Option D is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

4.              Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

D.            SIR (Scheduled Increase Rider) (Refer to PL Rider # R10SIR for additional detail)

 

1.                        SIR is a rider that can have up to a maximum of 10 annual increases which are scheduled at issue. The percentage must be the same for each increase, and the increases must be completed within 10 years.

 

2.                        The Ceding Company will report the highest SIR amount in all years as the total coverage face amount. Coverage is ceded on an excess of retention basis, with the Ceding Company retaining the amounts shown in Exhibit A. The face amount ceded will be the Reinsurer’s portion of the highest SIR amount based on the Reinsurer’s automatic pool participation percentage.

 

3.                        The Ceding Company will report the current net amount at risk as the NAR amount for SIR riders. Premium paid the Reinsurer for SIR riders is calculated and paid on the current ceded NAR amount.

 

4.                        Death benefits payable will be based upon current NAR.

 

5.                        The SIR rider is not allowed on a policy with either the Flexible Duration No Lapse Guarantee rider or the VART rider.

 

E.             Chronic Illness (CI) Accelerated Death Benefit Rider (See example attached to Amend. #8)

 

1.                        CI is a rider, available for issue ages 20-75, that allows the policyowner to accelerate the death benefit if the insured becomes chronically ill. To qualify for the benefits of the Pacific Life CI rider, the chronic illness will have to be expected to be permanent.

 

2.                        The maximum benefit payout (in lump sum, or 12 monthly payments) will be the lesser of :

 

a.              24% of the death benefit amount on date of initial claim request times the reduction factor;

 

b.              125% of the annual Per Diem limit declared by the IRS;

 

c.               Current death benefit less any scheduled face increases after initial claim request times the reduction factor; or

 

d.              $1,500,000 less any accelerated benefits paid to date times the reduction factor.

 

3.                        The maximum accelerated death benefit is $1,500,000.

 

4.                        The policyowner does not have to take the maximum election at initial claim time; they can take another election each year after the qualifying event. However, a new certification that the insured is chronically ill will be required for each policy year in which a benefit payment is requested.

 

5.                        The total death benefit available will be reduced by the maximum accelerated death benefit limit available for chronic illness. For example, if someone has an $8,000,000 death benefit and accelerates the maximum accelerated death benefit ($1,500,000) due to chronic illness, the insured still has a

 


 

$6,500,000 death benefit remaining. The less that is accelerated; the more death benefit will remain.

 

F.              Accelerated Death Benefit Rider for Long-Term Care (Refer to PL Rider #ICC15 R15LTC for additional detail)

 

1.                                    The Premier LTC (PLTC) Rider is an Accelerated Death Benefit Rider for Long Term Care which allows a policy owner to accelerate payment of a portion of the policy death benefit if the insured is certified as a Chronically Ill Individual by a licensed health care practitioner. The maximum issue age  is 75, and the minimum issue age is 18 or 20, depending on the underlying product.

 

2.                                    The maximum LTC Coverage Amount is the lesser of the Policy Total Face Amount or:

 

a.              $3,000,000 if the 2% Maximum Monthly Percentage is elected

 

b.              $1,500,000 (issue age <65) and $750,000 (issue age 65 or older) if the 4% Maximum Monthly Percentage is elected

 

3.                                    This rider must be requested at policy issue and is not available to in-force policies at this time. Rider is not available if the policy was issued under the terms of a conversion from another product, unless this rider was included with the original policy.

 

4.                                    LTC Coverage Amount is maintained separate from the Policy Death Benefit.

 

5.                                    Increases to the Policy Face Amount will not increase the LTC Coverage Amount

 

6.                                    Decreases to the Policy Face Amount (except from a withdrawal) will not decrease the LTC Coverage Amount except to assure the LTC Coverage Amount is at all times no greater than the Total Face Amount (or if DB Option C is in effect, the Option C Amount, if less). Option C Amount is the DB under Option C, without regard to maximum death benefit.

 

7.                                    Withdrawals will always reduce the LTC Coverage Amount, even if there is no reduction to the Policy Face Amount.

 

8.                                    Unlike the Premier Living Benefits Rider (PLBR), also known as Chronic Illness Rider, there is a monthly charge for this rider.

 

9.                                    The PLTC NAR is maintained separately from the base policy NAR and PLTC premiums are calculated using the PLTC NAR.

 

10.                                    PLTC charges are waived while on PLTC claim but other charges are still applicable.

 

11.                                    PLTC claims reimbursement will be based on the PLTC NAR.

 

12.                                    Substandard Table Rating is limited to tables A-E and flat extras are limited to $7.50 per 1,000 (annual).

 

II.                                   Business Reinsured on a Facultative Basis

 

1.                                      For policies with an increasing death benefit or net amount at risk which will be reinsured on a Facultative basis, the Ceding Company has the responsibility to clearly identify the highest projected death benefit as the face amount to be reinsured at the time a request for coverage is made so that the Reinsurer’s underwriters are aware of the highest projected death benefit amount. The highest net amount at risk reinsured can never exceed the amount of the Reinsurer’s offer. Year to year changes in risk will be shared proportionately, determined by the amount of retention relative to the amount of reinsurance, unless specified otherwise.

 

2.                                      The Ceding Company may ultimately retain up to double the normal retention or higher with appropriate internal approval.

 

III.                                            Net Amount at Risk and Face Amount Changes

 

The net amount at risk retained and ceded change proportionally as the policy NAR changes. The face amount retained and ceded increases or decreases proportionally as the face amount of the coverage changes.

 

The Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will share proportionately in face amount increases due to compliance with the requirements of Section 7702 of the Code.

Article XI

 

Policy Changes, Lapses, Reinstatements, Exchanges, Extended Term,

Reduced Paid-Up Insurance and Policy Split Options

 

A.                                    Policy Changes

 

“Policy changes” refers to the variety of actions that may be made to a policy after issue.  These actions include, but are not limited to, replacements, changes in plans or a change in the face amount of the policy.  If there is a change to the reinsurance on a reinsured policy, the CEDING COMPANY will inform the REINSURER in the subsequent Changes and Terminations Report specified in Exhibit E.

 

Except as provided in this Article, whenever a reinsured policy is changed and the CEDING COMPANY’s underwriting guidelines do not require that full evidence of insurability be obtained, the reinsurance will remain in effect with the REINSURER, whether the change is made before or after any cancellation of this AGREEMENT for new business.  The duration will be measured from the effective date of the original reinsured policy.

 

Whenever a reinsured policy is changed and the CEDING COMPANY’s underwriting guidelines require that full evidence of insurability be obtained, any increase or policy reissue that requires full evidence will be treated as new business and will be reinsured under the terms of the pool in place at the time for new business.

 

Policy changes to reinsured policies will be subject to the REINSURER’s prior written approval, if:

 

a)             The new ultimate face amount of the policy would be in excess of the Automatic Binding Limits in effect at the time of the change, as set out in Exhibit D; or

 

b)             The new ultimate face amount of the policy and the amount already in force on the same life with all companies exceeds the Jumbo Limits stated in Exhibit D; or

 

c)              The policy was reinsured on a facultative basis; or

 

d)             First year premium rates and allowances (if applicable) as specified in Exhibit C will apply to the amount underwritten for a non-contractual increase; or

 

e)              Evidence of insurability is not obtained if required in the CEDING COMPANY’s underwriting guidelines.

 

B.                                    Lapses

 

When a policy issued by the CEDING COMPANY lapses, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured policy will be terminated effective the same date.  Unless specified otherwise in this AGREEMENT, if a policy fully retained by the CEDING COMPANY lapses, the terms of Article X will apply.

 

If a policy issued by the CEDING COMPANY lapses and extended term insurance is elected under the terms of that policy, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured policy will continue on the same basis as the original reinsured policy until the expiry of the extended term period.

 

If a policy issued by the CEDING COMPANY lapses and reduced paid-up insurance is elected under the terms of that policy, the amount of the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured policy will be reduced according to the terms of Article X.

 

If the CEDING COMPANY allows the policy to remain in force under its automatic premium loan regulations, the corresponding reinsurance on the reinsured policy will continue unchanged and in force as long as such regulations remain in effect, except as otherwise provided in this AGREEMENT.

 

C.                                    Reinstatements

 

Any policy originally reinsured in accordance with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT by the CEDING COMPANY may be automatically reinstated with the REINSURER as long as the policy is reinstated in accordance with the terms and rules of the CEDING COMPANY.  Any policy originally reinsured with the REINSURER on a facultative basis which has been in a lapsed status for more than ninety (90) days must be submitted with underwriting requirements and approved by the REINSURER before it is reinstated.  The CEDING COMPANY will pay the REINSURER its share of amounts collected or charged for the reinstatement of such policies.

 


 

Article XI

 

Policy Changes, Lapses, Reinstatements, Exchanges, Extended Term,

Reduced Paid-Up Insurance and Policy Split Options, continued

 

D.                                    Exchanges (Contractual and Non-Contractual)

 

Exchanges will be reinsured under this AGREEMENT only if the original policy was reinsured with the REINSURER; the amount of reinsurance under this AGREEMENT will not exceed the amount of the reinsurance on the original policy with the REINSURER immediately prior to the exchange.  Premiums will be determined as follows:

 

1.              If any business covered under this AGREEMENT is subsequently exchanged to any other plan reinsured by the REINSURER, then such business shall be reinsured at the rates as shown in the AGREEMENT covering the new plan.  Rates and allowances or pay percentages applicable to the new plan will be determined at point in scale based on the original policy that is being exchanged.  If the AGREEMENT including the new rates requires policy fees, then they shall also apply to the new plan.

 

2.              If any business covered under this AGREEMENT is subsequently exchanged to a plan not reinsured by the REINSURER, then such business shall continue to be reinsured as if the exchange did not occur, provided that no new health evidence is obtained.

 

3.              A policy resulting from an internal exchange or replacement will be underwritten by the CEDING COMPANY in accordance with its underwriting guidelines, standards and procedures for exchanges and replacements.  If the CEDING COMPANY’s guidelines treat the policy as new business, then the reinsurance will also be considered new business.

 

For purposes of this Article, new business is defined as those policies on which the CEDING COMPANY has obtained complete and current underwriting evidence in accordance with its standard underwriting practices and guidelines on the full amount issued, including the highest face amount illustrated at issue.  The suicide and contestable provisions apply from the effective date of the new plan, subject to applicable state laws and regulations regarding suicide exclusions and contestability periods.  The full, normal commissions are paid by the CEDING COMPANY for the new plan.

 

E.                                     Extended Term and Reduced Paid-Up Insurance

 

Changes as a result of extended term or reduced paid-up insurance will be handled like reductions.

 

F.                                      Policy Split Option Riders

 

Split Option Rider (R94-PSO and R03-PSO):  This rider provides owners of a joint life policy the option to split the policy into single life policies.  The split requires underwriting approval and is subject to full evidence of insurability.  The split may be unequal, but the sum of the face amounts of the new policies may not exceed the total face amount of the original joint life policy.  The resulting single life policies will be treated like new business, ceded in accordance with and subject to the provisions for new business under this AGREEMENT. The CEDING COMPANY pays no reinsurance premium for the rider itself.  Regular new business reinsurance premium will apply to the split policy.

 

Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider (R94-EPSO, R96-EPSO and R03-ESO):  This rider provides owners of a JLS policy the option to split the policy into single life policies.  Evidence of insurability is not required, but the split may be exercised only within 90 days following a change in the Federal Estate Tax Law, as defined in the rider policy form.  The face amount of each new policy cannot exceed 50% of the original joint life policy. Premiums will be on a point-in-scale basis on the single lives.

 

Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider (R17-ESO):  This rider provides owners of a JLS policy the option to split the policy into single life policies.  Evidence of insurability is not required, but the split may be exercised within 365 days following an Exchange Event, as defined in the rider policy form.  The face amount of each new policy will be an amount up to one-half of the policy’s current eligible coverage. The premium on the new policy will be determined as outlined in paragraph D above for contractual exchanges.

 

NOTE:          An original date policy Reissue will not be treated as a continuation of the original policy.  It will be treated as a new policy and the original policy will be treated as Not Taken.  All premiums previously paid to the REINSURER for the original policy will be refunded to the CEDING COMPANY.  All premiums will be due on the new policy from the original issue date of the old policy.

 

NOTE:          Re-entry, e.g., wholesale replacement and similar programs are not covered under this Article.  If Re-entry is applicable to this treaty, then it will be covered under the Premiums Exhibit.
