If a Beneficiary requests a lump sum payment, and it is not paid within seven days of receipt of a Valid Claim from the Beneficiary, we will pay interest from day 8 until the date of payment at the rate of interest currently paid by the Company on proceeds left under the interest settlement option, unless the Suspension of Payments or Transfers section in this contract is in effect. In cases of multiple Beneficiaries, we will continue to assess the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge shown on the Contract Schedule after receiving the first Valid Claim from any one Beneficiary until there has been a complete distribution of the death benefit.
