Exhibit A(5)(g)
GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)
Misstatement of Age or Sex.-- If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
correct, we will adjust each benefit and any amount to be paid to reflect the
correct age and sex. Where required, we have given the insurance regulator a
detailed statement of how we will make these adjustments.
Incontestability.--Except for default, we will not contest this contract after
it has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the issue
date.
Assignment.--We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we received
it, or a copy of it, at our Service Office. We are not obliged to see that an
assignment is valid or sufficient. This contract may not be assigned to another
insurance company without our consent.
Annual Report.--Once each contract year after the first we will send you a
report. It will show: (1) the insurance amount; (2) the amount of the contract
fund; (3) the investment amount in each subaccount; (4) the amount in the fixed
account; (5) the net cash value; (6) the premiums paid, interest credited and
monthly charges made during the year; (7) the interest rate that will be
credited until further notice to the amount in the Fixed Account; (8) any
additional premium which you have the right to pay; and (9) any outstanding
contract debt. The report will include any other data that may be currently
required where this contract is delivered. You may ask for a report like this at
any time. But, except for the report we send you once a year, we have the right
to charge a fee for each report.
Payment of Death Claim.--If we settle this contract in one sum as a death claim,
we will actually pay the proceeds within 7 days after we receive at our Service
Office proof of death and any other information we need to pay the claim. But we
have the right to defer paying any portion of the proceeds greater than the face
amount shown on page 3 if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the
SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency; or (3) the SEC
lets us defer payment to protect our contract owners.
BENEFICIARY
You may designate or change a beneficiary. Your request must be in writing and
in a form which meets ours needs. It will take effect only when we file it at
our Service Office; this will be after you send the contract to us to be
endorsed, if we ask you to do so. Then any previous beneficiary's interest will
end as of the date of the request. It will end then even if the Insured is not
living when we file the request. Any beneficiary's interest is subject to the
rights of any assignee of whom we know.
When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Insured,
unless otherwise stated. To show priority, we may use numbered classes, so that
the class with first priority is called class 1, the class with next priority is
called class 2, and so on. When we use numbered classes, these statements apply
to beneficiaries unless the form states otherwise:
1. One who survives the Insured will have the right to be paid only if no one in
a prior class survives the Insured.
2. One who has the right to be paid will be the only one paid if no one else in
the same class survives the Insured.
3. Two or more in the same class who have the right to be paid will be paid in
equal shares.
4. If none survives the Insured, we will pay in one sum to the Insured's estate.
Example: Suppose the class 1 beneficiary is Xxxx and the class 2 beneficiaries
are Xxxx and Xxxx. We owe Xxxx the proceeds if she is living at the Insured's
death. We owe Xxxx and Xxxx the proceeds if they are living then but Xxxx is
not. But if only one of them is living, we owe him the proceeds. If none of them
is living we owe the Insured's estate.
Beneficiaries who do not have a right to be paid under these terms may still
have a right to be paid under the Automatic Mode of Settlement.
Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide what proof we need of the
identify, age or any other facts about any persons designated as beneficiaries.
If beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make payment(s) based on that
proof, we will not have to make the payment(s) again.
