E. | Reinsurance shall be terminated on any policy where the net amount at risk reinsured is less than $1, rounded to the nearest dollar. |

Article X
Increase in Retention
A. | The Ceding Company may increase its limit of retention and may elect, subject to the provisions of this Article, to continue the reinsurance inforce under this Agreement without change, or to reduce all eligible reinsurance inforce under this Agreement as set forth below.

B. | No business will be eligible for reduction under this Article unless the Ceding Company kept its maximum retention as set forth in the retention schedule in effect at the time the insurance was issued. The amounts recaptured shall be sufficient to increase the Ceding Company’s retention to the new limits. If there are other reinsurers, the reduction on each risk shall be divided according to each reinsurer’s portion of the total reinsurance on the risk. If the reinsurance is reduced on any risk, similar reductions shall be made on all risks eligible for recapture. The effective date of the reduction in reinsurance on a policy eligible for such reduction shall be the latter of the first policy anniversary following the notice to recapture and the . |

Article XII
Claims
(continued)
E. | In the event of an increase or reduction in the amount of the Ceding Company’s insurance on any policy reinsured hereunder because of a misstatement of age or sex being established after the death of the insured, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer shall share in such increase or reduction in proportion to their respective amounts at risk under such policy. |
F. | The Reinsurer shall reimburse the Ceding Company for its proportionate share of any interest paid on claims by the Ceding Company for the period preceding the Reinsurer’s payment of its share of the claim. Interest shall be calculated from the date of death to the date of remittance to the beneficiary, or if the claim proceeds go under settlement option, from the date of death to the date of the Reinsurer’s remittance to the Ceding Company. Adjustment to reinsurance premiums in such case will be made without interest. |
