EXHIBIT 30(d)(vii)
RIDER FOR LEVEL TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
This benefit is a part of this contract only if it is included in the list
of supplementary benefits of the contract data pages.
Benefit
We will pay an amount under this benefit if we receive due proof that a
dependent child died (1) before the term insurance provided by the benefit on
his or her life ends: and (2) while this contract is in force and not in default
past the last day of the grace period. But our payment is subject to all the
provisions of the 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 15th day of life; and (2) has not reached
the first contract anniversary after his or her 25th birthday; and either (3) is
named in the application for change which is attached to and made a part of this
contract, and on the date of the request has not reached his or her 18th
birthday; or (4) is acquired by the Insured after the date of the request but
before the child's 18th birthday.
We show the amount of term insurance under this benefit on the contract
data pages. The insurance on each dependent child's life will end on the earlier
of: (1) the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the
xxxxx's 25th birthday; and (2) the end of the day before the first contract
anniversary after the Insured's 65th birthday.
PAID-UP INSURANCE
Paid-up Insurance On Dependent Children
The Insured might die while this contract is in force and not in default
past the last day of the grace period. In this case, 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 1980 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. If we are asked for the values which
apply, we will furnish them.
CONVERSION OF INSURANCE ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Right To Convert
If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the last
paragraph under benefit above that child may be able to obtain a new oontract of
life insurance on his or her life, in either this company or The Prudential
Insurance Company of America. In any of these paragraphs, when we use the
VL 185A
phrase the company we mean whichever of these companies may issue the new
contract. It will not be necessary to prove that the child is insurable.
Conditions
The right to obtain a new contract is subject to all these conditions: (1)
The insurance on the child must end while this 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 have a written application for the new contract at our Home Office no
later than the date the insurance on the child ends.
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.
Contract Date
The date of the new contract will be the day after the date the insurance
on the dependent child ends.
Contract Specifications
The new contract will be in the standard rating class. We will set the
issue age and the premiums for the new contract in accord with our regular rules
in use on its contract date.
The contract may be any one of the following:
1. A Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan (Life Paid Up at Age 65 plan if the
issue age for the new contract is less than 15 years). In this case the new
contract will be issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Its
face amount will be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot be
less than $5,000 or more than five times the amount of insurance on the
xxxxx's life under this Benefit.
2. A contract like the one to which this Benefit is attached, if Pruco
Life Insurance Company is regularly issuing such contracts at that time.
Its face amount will be the amount asked for in your request. But it cannot
be less than $50,000 or more than five times the amount of insurance on the
child's life under the Benefit.
3. A contract of life insurance of a kind regularly being issued by
Pruco Life Insurance Company at that time for $25,000 or more. Its face
amount will be the amount you ask for in your request. But it cannot be
less than $25,000 or more than five times the amount of insurance on the
child's life under the Benefit.
The new contract will not have Supplementary Benefits other than as we
describe in this and in the next paragraph. If the company would include in
other contracts like the new contract a benefit for paying premiums in the event
of disability, here is what the company will do. Even though this contract does
not have such a benefit on the life of that child, the company will put it in
the new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new contract
will be the same one, with the same provisions, that the company puts in other
contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use the
phrase other contracts like it, we mean contracts the company would regularly
issue on the same plan for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
VL 185A
We will not pay any premium under a new contract unless the disability
started on or after its contract date. And we will not pay any premium under a
new contract unless it has a benefit for paying premiums in the event of
disability. This will be so even if we have paid premiums under this contract.
Changes
If the insurance on a dependent child ends as we state in the last
paragraph under benefit above, that child may be able to obtain a new contract
of life insurance other than in accord with the requirements we state in this
form. But this kind of change may be made only if we consent, and will be
subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Beneficiary
The word beneficiary where we use it in this contract without qualification
means the beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of the Insured.
Unless we endorse this contract to say otherwise, the beneficiary for
insurance payable upon the death of a dependent child will be the Insured if
living, otherwise the estate of the Insured.
The beneficiary for insurance payable upon the death of a dependent child
may be changed. The request must be in writing and in a form that meets our
needs. It will take effect only when we file it at our Home Office; this will be
after tne contract is sent to us to be endorsed, if we ask for it. Then any
previous beneficiary's interest in such insurance will end as of the date of the
request. It will end then even if the child 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.
Reinstatement
If this contract is reinstated, it will not include the insurance that we
provide under this benefit on the dependent children unless you give us any
facts we need to satisfy us that each child who is to be insured on or within
15 days after the date of reinstatement is insurable for the benefit. If you do
not give us the facts we need for any child, the benefit may be reinstated if
all the other conditions are met to reinstate the contract. But you must send
the contract to us to be endorsed to show that the child is not insured under
the benefit.
Contract Value Options
If this contract has a Contract Value Options provision, it will apply only
during the Insured's lifetime. Any extended or reduced paid-up insurance that
may be described there is on the life of the Insured only.
Contract Loans
If this contract has a Loans provision, we will not consider any contract
debt when we determine the amount payable, if any, at the death of a dependent child.
VL 185A
Incontestability
Except for non-payment of premium, we will not contest this benefit with
respect to the insurance on any dependent child's life after it has been in
force during the child's lifetime for two years from the issue date.
Benefit Premiums and Charges
We show the premiums for this benefit in the contract data pages. From each
premium payment, we make the deductions shown on those pages and the balance is
the invested premium amount which is added to the contract fund.
The monthly charge for this benefit is deducted on each monthly date from
the contract fund. The amount of that charge is included in the contract data
pages.
Benefit premiums and monthly charges stop on the earlier of the death of
the Insured and the first contract anniversary after the Insured's 65th
birthday.
Termination
This benefit will end on the earliest of:
1. the end of the last day of grace if the contract is in default; it
will not continue if a benefit takes effect under any contract value
options provision that may be in the contract;
2. the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the
Insured's 65th birthday;
3. the date the contract is surrendered under its Cash Value Option,
if it has one, or the paid-up insurance, if any, under the benefit is
surrendered: and
4. the date the contract ends for any other reason.
Further, if you ask us in writing in the premium period, and we agree, we
will cancel the benefit as of the first monthly date on or after we receive your
request. Contract premiums and monthly charges due then and later will be
reduced accordingly.
