ANNUITY OPTIONS The following Annuity Options are available under this Contract. Additional options may become available in the future:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING REPAYMENT ELECTION FORM AND EXERCISING REPAYMENT OPTION Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings defined in the accompanying Repayment Election Form.
Death of Annuitant If the natural Owner and Annuitant are different, and the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date, the Owner becomes the Annuitant until the Owner elects a new Annuitant. If there are Joint Annuitants, upon the death of any Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date, the Owner may elect a new Joint Annuitant. However, if the Owner is a non-natural person, We will treat the death of any Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant" and as the death of the Owner, see DEATH PROVISIONS.
Fixed Annuity 10 1.16 Fund(s) ........................................................... 10 1.17
Life Annuity In addition to the rules imposed by the Act, a life annuity purchased with the property of the Plan must comply with Pension Legislation and must be established for the Annuitant’s life. However, if the Annuitant has a Spouse on the date payments under the life annuity begin, the life annuity must be established for the lives jointly of the Annuitant and the Annuitant’s Spouse, unless the Spouse has provided a waiver in the form and manner required by Pension Legislation. Where the surviving Spouse is entitled to payments under the life annuity after the Annuitant’s death, those payments must be at least 60 percent of the amount to which the Annuitant was entitled prior to the Annuitant’s death. The life annuity may not differentiate based on gender except to the extent permitted by Pension Legislation.
Death During Distribution of a Benefit If the Executive dies after any benefit distributions have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all such distributions, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the remaining benefits at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been distributed to the Executive had the Executive survived.
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity Unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the 90-day period ending on the annuity starting date, a married Participant's Vested account balance will be paid in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity and an unmarried Participant's Vested account balance will be paid in the form of a life annuity. The Participant may elect to have such annuity distributed upon attainment of the earliest retirement age under the Plan.
Death Benefit Should Employee die during the term of employment, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate any compensation due through the end of the month in which death occurred.
Payment Options The exercise price shall be paid by one or any combination of the following forms of payment that are applicable to this option, as indicated on the cover page hereof: (i) by check payable to the order of the Company; or (ii) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Optionee to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; or (iii) subject to Section 7(b) below, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal as of the date of exercise to the option price. In the case of (iii) above, fair market value as of the date of exercise shall be determined as of the last business day for which such prices or quotes are available prior to the date of exercise and shall mean (i) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange.
Annuity 24.1 If the policy schedule states that the insured amount is a surviving dependant's annuity within the meaning of Section 3.125(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act 2001, this article shall apply. a. The entitlement to an annuity payment cannot be surrendered, disposed of, divulged or used as security and, in general, no legal action can be taken with regard to this insurance that may lead the tax authorities to take back the premium deduction they received for this insurance in the past. b. The insurer shall be held liable by law for the payment of the wage and income tax and revision interest owed by the policyholder or the person entitled to an annuity as soon as a circumstance referred to under point a arises. c. The insurer will then be entitled to set off the amount of the maximum wage and income tax and revision interest due against the value of the insured annuity(s), irrespective of whether these are paid out or not.
