RIDER FOR LEVEL TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
|
This benefit is a part of this contract only if it is listed on a contract data page.
|
Benefit |
We will pay the amount of term insurance under this benefit if we receive due proof that a dependent child died while this contract was in force on a premium-paying basis and before the term insurance provided by the benefit on his or her life ends. But our payment is subject to all the provisions of this benefit and of the rest of this contract.
The phrase dependent child means the Insured's child, stepchild, or legally adopted child who: (1) has reached the 14th day after his or her date of birth; (2) has not reached the first contract anniversary on or after his or her 25th birthday; and either (3) just before the contract date of this contract was insured under the earlier contract that was converted or changed to this contract; or (4) is acquired by the Insured on or after the date of this contract but before the child's 18th birthday.
We show the amount of term insurance under this benefit on a contract data page. The insurance on each dependent child's life will end on the earliest of: (1) the end of the day before the first contract anniversary on or after the child's 25th birthday; (2) the end of the day before the first contract anniversary on or after the Insured's 75th birthday; and (3) the end of the last day before the contract date of any other contract to which the insurance on the dependent child is converted or changed.
|
Benefit Charges |
The monthly charge for this benefit is deducted each month from the contract fund. The amount of that charge is shown under Adjustments to the Contract Fund. Monthly charges for this benefit stop on the earlier of the date of the Insured's death, and the first contract anniversary on or after the Insured's 75th birthday. |
PAID-UP INSURANCE
Paid-up Insurance on a Dependent Child |
If the Insured dies while this contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the grace period, any term insurance provided by this benefit on a dependent child's life will become paid-up term insurance. While this paid-up insurance is in effect, the contract will remain in force. The paid-up insurance will have cash values but no loan value.
If this benefit becomes paid-up, it may be surrendered for its net cash value. This will be the net value on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance. But, within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be less than it was on that anniversary. To compute this net cash value, we use the Commissioners 2001 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a year.
We will usually pay any cash value promptly. But we have the right to postpone paying it for up to six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we will pay interest at the rate of 3% a year. |
CONVERSION OF INSURANCE ON A DEPENDENT CHILD
Right to Convert |
The insurance on each dependent child may be converted under this rider to a new contract of life insurance. The insurance on each child's life may be converted only once and once converted, all coverage under this rider on such child will end. Except as we state in the next paragraph, a conversion may be made only on (a) the day the insurance ends as described in the last paragraph under Benefit above, and (b) each contract anniversary on or immediately following his or her 18th, 22nd, and 25th birthdays provided that such anniversary occurs before the insurance ends. It will not be necessary to prove that the child is insurable.
|
Conditions |
The right to convert to a new contract is subject to these conditions: (1) The insurance on the child must be converted while the contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the grace period. (2) The amount of the new contract must meet the minimum as we describe under Contract Specifications. (3) We must receive a written application for the new contract no later than the date the insurance may be converted. |

The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while the child is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium is paid as we state, it will be deemed that the insurance under the new contract took effect on its contract date.
|
Premium Credit |
When the insurance on a dependent child is converted, we will allow a premium credit on the first premium for the new contract. The credit is equal to the lesser of $1.00 for each full $1,000 of the term insurance under this benefit and $1.00 for each full $1,000 of the new contract's basic amount of insurance.
