Exhibit (4)(a)
Pacific Life & Annuity Company •[000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx • Newport Beach, CA 92660]
READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY. This is a legal contract between you, the Owner, and us, Pacific Life
& Annuity Company, a stock insurance company. We agree to pay the benefits of this policy
according to its provisions. The consideration for this policy is the application for it, a copy
of which is attached, and payment of the initial and subsequent premiums.
Variable account values are not guaranteed, and may increase or decrease depending upon variable
account investment experience. The method for determining the Death Benefit is described in the
Death Benefit section of this policy. The amount of the Death Benefit may be fixed or variable
depending on the Death Benefit option elected and the investment experience of the Variable
Accounts.
Premiums are flexible, subject to minimums required to keep the policy In Force. Even if planned
premiums are paid, it is possible that the policy may not continue In Force (that is, it may lapse
before the death of the Insured) due to changes in the interest credited, policy charges, and the
investment performance of the variable accounts. Additionally, loans, withdrawals, and death
benefit option changes may affect the length of time the policy stays In Force. Subject to policy
guarantees, we have the right to change the amount of Cost of Insurance or other expense charges
deducted under the policy, and the interest credited to the Fixed Options, which may require more
premium to be paid than was illustrated or the cash values to be less than those illustrated.

DEFINITIONS
In this section, we define certain terms used throughout this policy. Other terms may be defined
in other parts of the policy. Defined terms are usually capitalized to provide emphasis.
Accumulated Value — is the total amount of your policy’s value allocated to the Variable Accounts
and the Fixed Options, plus the amount in the Loan Account, on any Valuation Day.
Administrative Office — is the office that administers your policy. The mailing address of the
Administrative Office at the time you applied for this policy is shown in the heading of the
application. If the address changes, we will send you written notice of the new address.
Age — means the Insured’s Age to the nearest birthday as of the Policy Date, increased by the
number of complete policy years elapsed.
Application — consists of the application for this policy, including any Certificate of Health,
amendments, or endorsements, and any application for reinstatement or increase in benefits.
Basic Coverage — is coverage on the Insured provided by this policy as shown in the Policy
Specifications, rather than coverage provided by rider.
Class — is used in determining policy charges, and interest credited to the Fixed Options, and
depends on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the Death Benefit, Face Amount,
Policy Date, policy duration, the Insured’s Age and Risk Class, and the presence of optional riders
and benefits.
Code — is the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations issued
thereunder.
Coverage Components — consist of Basic Coverage, Additional Coverage and SVER Coverage. Coverage
Components provide life insurance coverage on the Insured. Basic Coverage is a required coverage.
Additional Coverage and SVER Coverage are optional coverages.
Coverage Layer — is the amount of coverage purchased for a Coverage Component at a given time.
Each Coverage Component may have one or more Coverage Layers. Each Coverage Layer has its own Face
Amount, Risk Class, effective date, and charges. The Face Amount, Risk Class, effective date, and
charges for the initial Coverage Layer for each Coverage Component in effect as of the Policy Date
are shown in the Policy Specifications. The Face Amount, Risk Class, effective date, and set of
charges for any Coverage Layer added at a later time will be shown in a Supplemental Schedule of
Coverage sent to you at that time. Any decrease in Face Amount will reduce Coverage Layers as
described in the Face Amount Decrease provision.
Evidence of Insurability — is information, including medical information, satisfactory to us that
is used to determine insurability and the Insured’s Risk Class.
Face Amount — is the Face Amount of each Coverage Component.
Fixed Options — consist of the Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account, which are part of our
general account.
Free Look Transfer Date — is 15 days after the policy is issued, or if later, the date all
requirements necessary to place the policy In Force are delivered to our Administrative Office.
Insured — is the person insured under this policy, as shown in the Policy Specifications.
Investment Options — consist of the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Options.
In Force — means a policy is in effect and provides a death benefit on the Insured.
Page 5 |
Monthly Deduction End Date — is shown in the Policy Specifications and is the date when Monthly
Deductions end.
Monthly Payment Date — is the same day in each month as the Policy Date and is the date on which
certain policy charges are deducted from the Accumulated Value. The first Monthly Payment Date is
the Policy Date.
Net Accumulated Value — is the Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt.
Net Amount at Risk — is equal to the Death Benefit as of the most recent Monthly Payment Date
divided by the Net Amount at Risk Factor shown in the Policy Specifications, reduced by the
Accumulated Value. The Accumulated Value used in this calculation will be as of the beginning of
the policy month before the Monthly Deduction is assessed. The Net Amount at Risk is used to
calculate the Cost of Insurance Charge (see the Policy Charges section).
Net Premium — is the premium we receive reduced by any Premium Load.
Owner, you, or your — refers to the Owner of this policy.
Policy Date — is shown in the Policy Specifications. Policy months, quarters, years and
anniversaries are measured from this date.
Policy Debt — is the sum of the Loan Account and accrued Loan Interest.
Policy Specifications — is a section of the policy that shows information specific to your policy.
Risk Class — is used in determining policy charges and is determined by us during the underwriting
process. It depends on the Insured’s sex, health, tobacco use, and other factors. The Risk Class
of the Insured is shown in the Policy Specifications. Risk Class may also be referred to as Risk
Classification.
Separate Account — is the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account, which is a Separate Account of ours
that consists of subaccounts, also called Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account may invest its
assets in a separate class of shares of a designated investment company or companies.
Total Face Amount — is the sum of the Face Amounts of all Coverage Layers of all Coverage
Components. The Total Face Amount is used in determining the Death Benefit under this policy.
Valuation Day — is each day required by applicable law and currently includes each day the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading and our Administrative Office is open.
Valuation Period — is the period of time between successive Valuation Days.
Variable Account — is a separate account of ours or a subaccount of a separate account of ours in
which assets are segregated from assets in our general account and our other separate accounts.
Premiums and Accumulated Value under this policy may be allocated to one or more Variable Accounts.
We, our, ours, and us — refer to Pacific Life & Annuity Company.
Written Request — is your signed request in writing, or on a form we provide, and received by us at
our Administrative Office, containing information we need to act on the request.
DEATH BENEFIT
When the Policy is In Force — This policy is In Force as of the Policy Date, subject to your
acceptance of the delivered policy and payment of the initial premium. The policy remains In Force
until the earliest of the following:
• | surrender, as described in the Surrender and Withdrawal of Values provision; |
Page 6 |
• | lapse, as described in the Grace Period and Lapse provision; or |
• | the death of the Insured. |
Coverage under this policy is subject to any changes we have made to the policy at your request,
and may include decreases in Face Amount, as described in later sections of this policy.
Death Benefit — This policy provides a Death Benefit on the death of the Insured while this policy
is In Force. This section describes how the Death Benefit is calculated. On the date of death,
the Death Benefit is the larger of:
• | The Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit Option in effect; or |
• | The Minimum Death Benefit specified below, calculated under the Death Benefit Qualification Test that applies to your policy. |
The Death Benefit as calculated above will then be increased to the extent, if any, required by the
minimum death benefit provisions set out in General Provisions to satisfy certain federal tax
qualification requirements.
Death
Benefit Options — You elected the Death Benefit Option in the application. The initial Death
Benefit Option appears in the Policy Specifications. The Death Benefit Options are explained
below.
• | Option A — The Death Benefit equals the Total Face Amount. |
• | Option B — The Death Benefit equals the Total Face Amount plus the Accumulated Value at death. |
• | Option C — The Death Benefit equals the Total Face Amount plus the sum of the premiums paid minus the sum of any withdrawals taken and any other distribution that reduces the Accumulated Value. If the sum of any such reductions is greater than the sum of the premiums paid, then the Death Benefit may be less than the Face Amount. |
Death Benefit Qualification Test — In order for your policy to be classified as a “life insurance
contract” under the Code, it must at all relevant times satisfy one of two Death Benefit
Qualification Tests. The policy provides a minimum death benefit amount, as needed, for the policy
to qualify under either of the Tests. Unless you elected otherwise in the application, the Death
Benefit Qualification Test that applies to this policy is the Guideline Premium Test. The Death
Benefit Qualification Test for this policy appears in the Policy Specifications. It may not be
changed for the life of this policy. The two Death Benefit Qualification Tests and the Minimum
Death Benefit amounts applicable to each are explained in this subsection.
1. | Cash Value Accumulation Test — If this test applies to your policy, the Minimum Death Benefit at any time will be the minimum amount required for this policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Code, but not less than 101% of the Accumulated Value. |
2. | Guideline Premium Test — If this test applies to your policy, the Minimum Death Benefit at any time will be the minimum amount required for this policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Code, but not less than the Accumulated Value multiplied by the Death Benefit percentage for the Age of the Insured as shown in the following table. |
Death Benefit | Death Benefit | Death Benefit | Death Benefit | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Age | Percentage | Age | Percentage | Age | Percentage | Age | Percentage | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Change
of Death Benefit Option — The Death Benefit Option may be changed to Option A or B upon
Written Request no more than once per policy year. Changes to Option C are not permitted. The
Face
Page 7 |
Amount will be adjusted, if necessary, so that the Death Benefit immediately after the change of
Death Benefit Option will be equal to the Death Benefit immediately before the change. The change
will be effective on the Monthly Payment Date on or next following the day we receive your Written
Request at our Administrative Office.
Unless you specify otherwise by Written Request, any request for a Death Benefit Option change will
not take effect if the requested change would cause the policy to be classified as a Modified
Endowment Contract under the Code.
Death Benefit Proceeds — The Death Benefit Proceeds (“Proceeds”) are the actual amount payable if
the Insured dies while this policy is In Force. The Proceeds are equal to the Death Benefit, as of
the date of death, less any Policy Debt and less any Monthly Deductions that may be due and unpaid
if death occurs during a Grace Period.
We will pay the Proceeds within two months after we receive, at our Administrative Office:
• | due proof of the Insured’s death, consisting of a certified copy of the death certificate for the Insured or other lawful evidence providing equivalent information; |
• | proof of the claimant’s legal interest in the proceeds; and |
• | sufficient evidence that any legal impediments to payment of Proceeds that depend on parties other than us have been resolved. Legal impediments to payment include, but are not limited to (a) the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships; (b) the appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators; (c) submission of information required to satisfy state and federal reporting requirements; and (d) conflicting claims. |
Proceeds paid are subject to the conditions and adjustments defined in other policy provisions,
such as General Provisions, withdrawals, Policy Loans, and Timing of Payments. We will pay
interest on the Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds
left on deposit (see the Income Benefits section). If payment of Proceeds is delayed more than 10
calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay interest
at the annual rate used to calculate the settlement options described in the Income Benefits
section. Proceeds are paid as a lump sum unless you choose another payment method, as described in
the Income Benefits section.
Face Amount Increase — You may submit an application to increase the Face Amount of one or more
Coverage Components. The Insured must be no older than Age 85 and the Face Amount increase may not
be less than $25,000. Your application must include Evidence of Insurability satisfactory to us and
is subject to our approval. The effective date of the increased Face Amount will be the first
Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date all required conditions are met or any other
date you request and we approve. We reserve the right to limit Face Amount increases to one per
policy year and the right to charge a fee to evaluate insurability, not to exceed $100 for each
evaluation. An increase will not be allowed if there has been a prior elective decrease in Face
Amount.
Upon approval of any such increase, we will send you a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage, which
will include the following information:
• | the increased Face Amount and the effective date of the increase; |
• | the Risk Class for the increase; |
• | the Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates applicable to the increase; |
• | the Maximum Monthly Coverage Charge for the increase; and |
• | if the Guideline Premium Test is used, the new Guideline Premiums. |
In addition, any Coverage Layer representing an increase in Basic Coverage will have an associated
Surrender Charge. The elements used in calculating the Surrender Charge for such Coverage Layer
are the Initial Amount, Level Period, Reduction Factor, and End Year for the Coverage Layer and
will be shown in a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage sent to you at the time of the increase. The
Level Period and End Year for the Coverage Layer are measured from the effective date of the
Coverage Layer. During the Level Period of such a Coverage Layer, the Surrender Charge is equal to
the Initial Amount for the Coverage Layer. After the Level Period, the Surrender Charge for the
Coverage Layer decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by one-twelfth of the Reduction Factor for
the Coverage Layer until it becomes zero after the End Year for the Coverage Layer.
Page 8 |
Face Amount Decrease — A decrease in Face Amount is subject to these limits:
• | Only one decrease per policy year is allowed. |
• | A decrease during the first policy year is not allowed. |
• | The Face Amount remaining after a decrease must be at least $1000. |
The effective date of the decreased Face Amount will be the first Monthly Payment Date on or next
following the date we receive the Written Request and have approved it. We recommend you consult
your tax advisor before requesting a decrease in Face Amount. Upon approval of any decrease, we
will send you a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage, which will include the decreased Face Amount and
the effective date of the decrease. If the Face Amount is decreased, Coverage Layers will be
decreased or eliminated in the following order: first, any Additional Coverage, next any SVER
Coverage, and finally, Basic Coverage. If there are Coverage Layers of the same Coverage Type with
different effective dates, they will be decreased or eliminated in the following order:
• | first, the most recent Coverage Layer; |
• | next, other Coverage Layers, in the reverse order in which they arose; and |
• | finally, the initial Coverage Layer. |
If there are Coverage Layers with the same effective date, the Coverage Layers will be decreased or
eliminated in the following order:
• | first, any Additional Coverage; |
• | next, any SVER Coverage; and |
• | finally, the Basic Coverage. |
The request for a decrease in the Total Face Amount will be subject to the Guideline Premium Limit
(if applicable to your policy) as defined in the Code. This may result in one or more refunds of
premiums or required distributions of Accumulated Value in order to maintain compliance with such
limit, or both. Such request will not be allowed to the extent the resulting Guideline Premium
Limit would cause an amount in excess of the Net Cash Surrender Value to be distributed from the
policy.
Policy Change Limit — We reserve the right to require Evidence of Insurability satisfactory to us
for any policy change that would result in an increase in Net Amount at Risk and, if the Evidence
of Insurability is not satisfactory, we may limit or refuse the policy change.
Paid-Up Insurance — On each policy anniversary you have the option to use the Net Cash Surrender
Value to purchase guaranteed paid-up insurance on the life of the Insured. The amount of paid-up
insurance is determined by applying the entire Net Cash Surrender Value as the net single premium
based on the interest and mortality shown in the Basis of Values provision. If the amount of
paid-up insurance so determined would exceed the death benefit of the policy immediately prior to
purchase of the paid-up insurance, we will apply only a portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value to
purchase paid-up insurance, and the remainder will be paid to you. In this case, we will determine
the amount of paid-up insurance so that the paid-up insurance plus the Net Cash Surrender Value
paid to you will equal the policy’s death benefit immediately prior to the purchase of the paid-up
insurance. This policy and any riders attached to it will terminate at the time of conversion. Such
paid-up insurance may be surrendered at any time, with the cash surrender value being determined on
the same basis.
Change in Benefits — Under the Guideline Premium Test, any change in policy or rider benefits or
certain other factors may require an adjustment to the Guideline Premium Limit.
Page 9 |
PREMIUMS
Premiums — The initial premium is payable either at our Administrative Office or to your registered
representative before we can place your policy In Force. At your request, we will give you a
premium receipt signed by one of our officers. Additional premiums are optional and are payable at
any time at our Administrative Office. We will consider any premium paid after the initial
premium, whether delivered to your registered representative or otherwise, to be “received” when it
is actually delivered to our Administrative Office. Except for the initial premium, we bear no
responsibility for any premium unless we have received the premium. We reserve the right to reject
premium payments less than $50 unless such premium is required to keep the policy In Force.
Premiums may be paid at any time before the Monthly Deduction End Date, subject to the premium
limits below. Any payment we receive from you while you have a loan will be first considered a
loan repayment, unless you tell us by Written Request it is a premium payment.
Planned Premium — The Planned Premium is the amount of premium you have told us you intend to pay
and is shown in the Policy Specifications. We will send you Planned Premium Reminder Notices for
as long as premiums can be paid. You may change the Planned Premium by Written Request. Payment
of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that the policy will continue In Force.
Premium Load — The Premium Load is equal to the premium paid multiplied by the Premium Load Rate.
The Premium Load Rate we use will not exceed the Maximum Premium Load Rate shown in the Policy
Specifications.
Premium Allocation Before the Free Look Transfer Date — Any Net Premium we receive before the Free
Look Transfer Date will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account on the Policy Date or, if
later, the date we receive your premium allocation instructions. On the Free Look Transfer Date,
the Accumulated Value in the Money Market Variable Account will be transferred to the Investment
Options according to the most recent premium allocation instructions we received from you.
Premium Allocation On or After the Free Look Transfer Date — Any Net Premium we receive on or after
the Free Look Transfer Date will be allocated to the Investment Options according to the most
recent premium allocation instructions we received from you.
Premium Processing — We deduct the Premium Load at the time we receive the premium payment. We
will credit the resulting Net Premium to the Accumulated Value.
Premium Limitation — We reserve the right to require Evidence of Insurability for any premium
payment that would result in an increase in the Net Amount at Risk. If such Evidence of
Insurability is not satisfactory, we may limit or refuse the premium payment.
Guideline Premium Limit — This subsection applies only if the Guideline Premium Test is the Death
Benefit Qualification Test for your policy. In order for this policy to be classified as a life
insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code, the sum of the premiums paid less a portion of
any withdrawals, as defined in the Code, may not exceed the greater of:
• | The Guideline Single Premium; or |
• | The sum of the annual Guideline Level Premiums to the earlier of the date of payment or the Insured’s Age 100. |
The Guideline Premiums are shown in the Policy Specifications. The Guideline Premiums may change
whenever there is a change in the Face Amount of insurance or certain other policy benefits or
factors. Any such Guideline Premium change will be shown in a supplemental schedule that we will
send to you at the time of the change. The Guideline Premiums are used to determine the premium
limits beyond which this policy would fail to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Code.
Payment of the Guideline Premiums does not guarantee that the policy will never lapse and
additional premiums may be necessary to prevent the policy from lapsing in the future.
The Guideline Premiums are determined by the rules that apply to this policy as set forth in the
Code. The Guideline Premiums will be adjusted to conform to any changes in the Code. In the event
that a premium payment would exceed such revised limits, we will refund the excess payment to you,
provided
Page 10 |
that we may not refuse any premium payment necessary to keep this policy In Force. Further, we
reserve the right to make distributions from the policy to the extent we deem necessary to continue
to qualify this policy as a life insurance contract under the Code.
Modified Endowment Contract Premium Limit — In order that this policy not be classified as a
Modified Endowment Contract under Section 7702A of the Code, the sum of premiums paid less a
portion of any withdrawals may not exceed the 7-Pay limit as defined in the Code. The 7-Pay limit
is the cumulative sum of the 7-Pay Premiums during the applicable 7-Pay testing period. In the
event that a premium payment would cause the 7-Pay limit to be exceeded, we reserve the right to
refund the excess payment to you, unless you have provided a Written Request in which you accept
your policy being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract and indicate that we may accept such
payments and apply them to the policy.
The 7-Pay Premium may change whenever there is a change in the Face Amount of insurance or in other
policy benefits or factors. The 7-Pay Premiums are determined according to the rules applicable to
this policy set forth in the Code. We reserve the right to revise the 7-Pay Premium to conform to
any changes in the Code. In the event that a premium payment would cause such revised limits to be
exceeded, we reserve the right to refund the excess payment to you. Further, we reserve the right
to increase the Death Benefit or make distributions from the policy to the extent we deem necessary
to continue to classify this policy as a non-Modified Endowment Contract under the Code.
ACCUMULATED VALUE
Accumulated Value — The Accumulated Value is defined on each Valuation Day and is the sum of:
• | the Fixed Accumulated Value; plus |
• | the Variable Accumulated Value; plus |
• | the Loan Account Value. |
Fixed Accumulated Value — The Fixed Accumulated Value is the sum of the Accumulated Value in each
Fixed Option. On the Policy Date, the policy’s Accumulated Value in each Fixed Option is equal to
the Net Premium allocated to that Fixed Option less any allocation of the initial Monthly Deduction
from that Fixed Option.
After the Policy Date, we calculate the Accumulated Value in each Fixed Option as follows. We
credit interest on a daily basis using a 365-day year, at an annual effective rate not less than
the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate for the Fixed Options shown in the Policy Specifications. At
our discretion, we may credit additional interest, which will be applied uniformly to all members
of the same Class. Any such additional interest will be credited no less frequently than annually
and may be adjusted to reflect expenses, taxes, profit, or sources of earnings other than
investment earnings and once credited, will be nonforfeitable except indirectly due to any
surrender charges that may be due if you surrender this policy. Each Fixed Option may have its own
unique rate. While we expect to credit a higher rate of interest to the Fixed LT Account than to
the Fixed Account, we do not guarantee to do so. The interest rate in effect at the beginning of
the policy year will be effective for the duration of that year. The Accumulated Value for each
Fixed Option on any Valuation Day is the following, including interest on each:
• | the Accumulated Value for the Fixed Option on the prior Monthly Payment Date; |
• | plus the amount of any Net Premium received and allocated to the Fixed Option since the last Monthly Payment Date; |
• | plus the amount of any transfer to the Fixed Option, including transfers from the Loan Account, since the last Monthly Payment Date; |
• | minus the Monthly Deduction and other deductions due, if any, and assessed against the Fixed Option; and |
• | minus the amount of any withdrawals, or transfers from the Fixed Option, including transfers to the Loan Account, since the last Monthly Payment Date. |
Page 11 |
Variable Accumulated Value — The Variable Accumulated Value is the sum of the Accumulated Value in
each Variable Account.
We calculate the Accumulated Value in each Variable Account as follows. Assets in each Variable
Account are divided into Accumulation Units, which are measures of value for bookkeeping purposes.
We credit Accumulation Units to each Variable Account as a result of:
• | the amount of any Net Premium received and allocated to the Variable Account; and |
• | transfers to the Variable Account, including transfers from the Loan Account. |
We debit Accumulation Units from each Variable Account as a result of:
• | transfers from the Variable Account, including transfers to the Loan Account; |
• | surrender and withdrawals from the Variable Account; and |
• | the Monthly Deduction and other deductions due, if any, and assessed against the Variable Account. |
To determine the number of Accumulation Units debited or credited to a Variable Account as a result
of a transaction, we divide the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value of the affected
Variable Account.
To determine your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account, we multiply the number of
Accumulation Units in the Variable Account by the Unit Value of the Variable Account. The number
of Accumulation Units in each Variable Account will not change because of subsequent changes in
Unit Value.
Unit Value — The initial Unit Value of each Variable Account was $10 on the day the Variable
Account began operations. At the end of each subsequent Valuation Day, the Unit Value for each
Variable Account is equal to (Y) times (Z) where:
(Y) | is the Unit Value for that Variable Account as of the end of the prior Valuation Day; and | |
(Z) | is the Net Investment Factor for that Variable Account as of the end of the current Valuation Day. |
Net Investment Factor — Each Variable Account’s Net Investment Factor for any Valuation Period is
equal to (A ÷ B), where:
(A) | equals: |
(a) | the Net Asset Value per share of the corresponding portfolio shares held by the Variable Account as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus | ||
(b) | the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made during that Valuation Period on the portfolio shares held by the Variable Account; plus or minus | ||
(c) | any per share credit or charge for any income taxes, other taxes, or amounts set aside during that Valuation Period as a reserve for any income and/or any other taxes which we determine to have resulted from the operations of the Variable Account or policy, and/or any taxes attributable, directly or indirectly, to premium payments; and |
(B) | is the Net Asset Value per share of the corresponding portfolio shares held by the Variable Account as of the end of the prior Valuation Period. |
The Net Asset Value of the portfolio shares corresponding to the Variable Account on any Valuation
Day is reported to us as of the end of each Valuation Day by the investment company in whose shares
the Variable Account is invested.
Loan Account Value — The Loan Account Value is the amount set aside to secure Policy Debt. The
Loan Account is the account that keeps track of the Loan Account Value. We will credit interest to
the Loan Account on a daily basis, using a 365-day year, and the daily equivalent of an annual
interest rate not less than the guaranteed interest rate used for the Fixed Account. The Loan
Account Value on the Policy Date is equal to any policy debt existing at such time. Thereafter,
the Loan Account Value is defined on each Valuation Day as the following, including interest on
each:
Page 12 |
• | the amount in the Loan Account as of the end of the prior Monthly Payment Date; |
• | plus any loan taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date; and |
• | minus any loan amount repaid since the prior Monthly Payment Date. |
On each policy anniversary, if the Loan Account Value exceeds policy debt, the excess will be
transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options according to your most recent premium
allocation instructions, and if Policy Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, the excess will be
transferred from the Investment Options on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account.
POLICY CHARGES
Monthly Deduction — The Monthly Deduction provides coverage for the policy month following the
Monthly Payment Date and is deducted from the Accumulated Value on each such date before the
Monthly Deduction End Date. It is equal to the sum of the following items:
• | the Cost of Insurance Charge; |
• | the Administrative Charge; |
• | the Coverage Charge; |
• | the Asset Charge; |
• | rider or benefit charges, if any. |
The maximum for each such charge is described below or in the rider or benefit forms. We may
charge less than such maximum charge. Unless you have made a Written Request to the contrary, the
Monthly Deduction will be charged on the Monthly Payment Date proportionately to the Accumulated
Value in each Investment Option. There are no Monthly Deductions on and after the Monthly
Deduction End Date, which is shown in the Policy Specifications.
Cost of Insurance Charge — The Cost of Insurance Charge is the sum of the Cost of Insurance Charge
for each Coverage Layer. The Cost of Insurance Charge for each Coverage Layer is equal to (1)
multiplied by (2), where:
(1) | is the Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for the Coverage Layer divided by 1000; and | |
(2) | is the Net Amount at Risk allocated to the Coverage Layer. |
The Net Amount at Risk is allocated proportionately to each Coverage Layer according to Face
Amount.
Cost of Insurance Rates — The Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for each initial Coverage
Layer is shown in the Policy Specifications. The Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for any
later Coverage Layers are shown in a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage that will be sent to you at
the time the Coverage Layer becomes effective.
Administrative Charge — The Administrative Charge is shown in the Policy Specifications.
Coverage Charge — The Coverage Charge is the sum of the Coverage Charge for each Coverage Layer.
The Coverage Charge for the initial Coverage Layer will not exceed the Coverage Charge shown in the
Policy Specifications. The Coverage Charge for any later Coverage Layer will not exceed the
Coverage Charge shown in the Supplemental Schedule of Coverage to be sent to you when the Coverage
Layer is added. This charge is based on the Face Amount of the Coverage Layer as of its effective
date. The Coverage Charge will not decrease even if the Face Amount of the associated Coverage
Layer is decreased.
Asset Charge — The Asset Charge is equal to the Monthly Asset Charge Rate multiplied by the
Unloaned Accumulated Value. The Unloaned Accumulated Value is equal to a — b where:
a = | the Accumulated Value at the beginning of the policy month before the current Monthly Deduction is charged; and | |
b = | the Loan Account. |
Page 13 |
The Monthly Asset Charge Rate is shown in the Policy Specifications.
Rider Charges — Any rider or benefit charges are described in the rider or benefit forms.
Other Taxes — In addition to the charges imposed under Premium Load and elsewhere, we reserve the
right to make a charge for federal, state or local taxes that may be attributable to the Variable
Accounts or to our operations with respect to this policy if we incur any such taxes.
Change in Policy Cost Factors — Any change in the policy cost factors, including interest credited
to the Accumulated Value, Cost of Insurance Rates, and Coverage Charges, will be by Class and based
on changes in our expectation of future investment earnings, mortality, persistency and expenses.
Any such change will be determined in accordance with procedures and standards of the state in
which the policy is delivered.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
Grace Period and Lapse — If the Accumulated Value less Policy Debt on a Monthly Payment Date is
sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction due, the policy will continue In Force. If the
Accumulated Value less Policy Debt on a Monthly Payment Date is not sufficient to cover the Monthly
Deduction due, a Grace Period of 61 days will be allowed for the payment of sufficient premium to
keep your policy In Force.
The Grace Period begins on the Monthly Payment Date on which the insufficiency occurred and ends 61
days thereafter. At the start of the Grace Period, we will notify you and any assignee of record at
the last known address. The notice will state the due date and the amount of premium required for
your policy to remain In Force. A minimum of the monthly charges not deducted plus three times the
monthly deduction due when the insufficiency occurred, plus Premium Load, must be paid. There is
no penalty for paying a premium during the Grace Period. Your policy will remain In Force during
the Grace Period. If sufficient premium is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, a lapse will
occur. At least 15 days and no more than 45 days prior to lapse, we will send you and any assignee
of record a notice containing the lapse date and the required premium to keep your policy In Force.
If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, the death benefit will be equal to the death benefit
as of the beginning of the Grace Period reduced by any overdue charges. Upon lapse, the policy
will terminate with no value.
Reinstatement — If it has not been surrendered, this policy may be reinstated within five years
after the end of the Grace Period. To reinstate this policy you must provide us with the
following:
• | a written application; |
• | Evidence of Insurability satisfactory to us; |
• | sufficient premium, after reduction by Premium Load, to cover all Monthly Deductions and policy loan interest due and unpaid during the Grace Period; and |
• | sufficient premium, after reduction by Premium Load, to keep the policy In Force for three months after the date of reinstatement. |
The effective date of the policy reinstatement will be the Monthly Payment Date on or next
following the date we approve your reinstatement application. At reinstatement:
• | The Net Accumulated Value will be the same as it was at the beginning of the Grace Period. |
• | Surrender charges and policy charges other than Cost of Insurance Charges will resume on their schedule as of the Monthly Payment Date when lapse occurred. |
• | Cost of Insurance Charges will be calculated using Cost of Insurance Rates that resume their original schedule as if lapse had never occurred, reflecting the Insured’s Age at reinstatement and policy duration measured from the original Policy Date. |
• | If there was a policy loan at time of lapse, you may choose to reinstate the policy loan. We recommend you consult your tax advisor before reinstating a policy loan. |
• | If reinstatement occurs on the first Monthly Payment Date after lapse and there was a loan before lapse, we will automatically reinstate the loan unless otherwise requested. |
Page 14 |
• | If loan reinstatement is not requested, we will eliminate the loan by reducing the Accumulated Value by the Policy Debt. |
After the reinstatement premium has been applied, regular policy processing will occur for the
period of time when coverage was provided during the Grace Period. There will be no Monthly
Deductions between the time of lapse and reinstatement.
TRANSFERS
Transfers — After your initial Premium has been allocated according to your instructions you may,
upon Written Request, transfer your Accumulated Value, or a part of it, among the Investment
Options as provided in this section. No transfer may be made if the policy is in a Grace Period
and the Required Premium has not been paid.
We reserve the right:
• | to limit the size of transfers so that each transfer is at least $500; | |
• | to limit the frequency of transfers, however at least one transfer per quarter will be allowed; | |
• | to require that the remaining balance in any account as a result of a transfer be at least $500; | |
• | to assess a charge of $25 for each transfer exceeding 12 per policy year; and |
• | to otherwise waive or reduce the restrictions on transfers described in this section. You may contact us to find out what restrictions are in effect at any time. |
Transfers To The Fixed Options (from the Variable Accounts) — You may transfer to the Fixed Options
only during the policy month preceding each policy anniversary, subject to the limitations
described in the Allocations To The Fixed Options subsection below. Such transfer may be for any
amount up to 100% of the Variable Accumulated Value.
Transfers From The Fixed Account — You may transfer from the Fixed Account an amount up to the
greater of $5,000 or 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, but only one such transfer
may be made in any twelve-month period.
Transfers From The Fixed LT Account —You may transfer from the Fixed LT Account an amount up to the
greater of $5,000 or 10% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT Account, but only one such
transfer may be made in any twelve-month period.
Allocations To The Fixed Options — We reserve the right to limit aggregate allocations to the Fixed
Options during the most recent 12 months for all policies in which you have an ownership interest
or to which payments are made by a single payor, as follows:
• | $1,000,000 for Net Premiums; and |
• | $100,000 for loan repayments and transfers. |
Any excess over such limits will be allocated to your other Investment Options according to your
most recent instructions. Allocations include Net Premium payments, transfers and loan repayments.
Unlimited Transfer into the Fixed Account Under Special Circumstances — You may transfer from any
Variable Account to the Fixed Options with no limitation, under the following circumstances:
• | For a period of time, as described below, after a material change in the investment policy of that Variable Account; and |
• | During the first 18 policy months as long as this policy is not in the Grace Period. |
We will notify you if there is a material change in the investment policy of a Variable Account.
The notice will inform you of your options, including your option to transfer from such Variable
Account to the Fixed Account within 60 days after (i) the effective date of the material change or
(ii) the date you receive the notice, whichever is later.
Page 15 |
SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL OF VALUES
Surrender — Upon Written Request while the policy is In Force, you may surrender this policy for
its Net Cash Surrender Value. The policy will terminate on the date the Written Request is
received at our Administrative Office.
Cash Surrender Value — The Cash Surrender Value is the Accumulated Value less any Surrender Charge.
Net Cash Surrender Value — The Net Cash Surrender Value is the Cash Surrender Value less any Policy
Debt.
Surrender Charge — If you surrender this policy, there may be a Surrender Charge deducted from the
Accumulated Value. During the Level Period, the Surrender Charge is equal to the Initial Amount.
After the Level Period, the Surrender Charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by one-twelfth
of the Reduction Factor until it becomes zero after the End Year. The Initial Amount, Level
Period, Reduction Factor and End Year are shown in the Table of Surrender Charge Factors in the
Policy Specifications.
Withdrawal — Upon Written Request on or after the first policy anniversary, you may withdraw a
portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value of this policy. Such withdrawal will be deducted from the
Accumulated Value. We reserve the right to charge a fee not to exceed $25 for each withdrawal.
There is no Surrender Charge imposed for a withdrawal, even if the Face Amount is reduced as a
result of the withdrawal. Withdrawals will be subject to the following conditions:
• | the amount of each withdrawal must be at least $200; |
• | the Net Cash Surrender Value remaining after a withdrawal must be at least $500; and |
• | we reserve the right to disallow any withdrawal that would result in a Face Amount of less than $1000 after the withdrawal. |
The amount of each withdrawal and any withdrawal fee will be deducted proportionately from the
Investment Options unless you request otherwise.
If Death Benefit Option A is in effect at the time of a withdrawal, and if a requested withdrawal
would increase the Net Amount at Risk, we will decrease the Total Face Amount by the minimum amount
necessary to prevent the Net Amount at Risk from increasing as a result of the withdrawal, except:
1. | During the first 15 policy years, but only in the case of the first withdrawal of a given policy year, the Total Face Amount will be decreased only to the extent that the withdrawal exceeds the lesser of $10,000 or 10% of the Net Cash Surrender Value, or | ||
2. | In any policy year, but only if both: |
(a) | the Death Benefit Qualification Test for your policy is the Guideline Premium Test, and | ||
(b) | the Guideline Premium Limit, as determinable at the time of the decrease in Total Face Amount, would, as a result of the current withdrawal, fail to remain greater than zero at all times prior to Age 100, we will decrease the Total Face Amount as follows: |
i. | If cumulative withdrawals for the 12-month period ending on the date of the current withdrawal do not exceed 15% of the Total Face Amount, we will limit the Total Face Amount decrease so that the Guideline Premium Limit, as determinable at the time of the decrease in Total Face Amount, would remain greater than zero at all times prior to Age 100. | ||
ii. | If cumulative withdrawals for the 12-month period ending on the date of the current withdrawal exceed 15% of the Total Face Amount, we will decrease the Total Face Amount to the extent of such excess in addition to the Total Face Amount decrease calculated per i. above on the cumulative withdrawals of 15% of the Total Face Amount. |
Page 16 |
iii. | For the purpose of the 15% test in i. and ii. above, the Total Face Amount will be the highest Total Face Amount in effect during the current policy year through the date of the withdrawal. |
In any instance where both exceptions 1. and 2. above apply, we will decrease the Total Face Amount by the lesser of the two decrease amounts. |
If such a reduction in Total Face Amount would cause the policy to become a Modified Endowment
Contract, we will not process your withdrawal request unless and until we receive your Written
Request to have your policy classified as a Modified Endowment Contract.
If Death Benefit Option B is in effect at the time of a withdrawal, the withdrawal will not reduce
the Face Amount, but it will reduce the Accumulated Value, which has the effect of reducing the
Death Benefit (see the Death Benefit section for details).
If Death Benefit Option C is in effect at the time of a withdrawal, the withdrawal will not reduce
the Face Amount, but it will increase the sum of the withdrawals, which has the effect of reducing
the Death Benefit (see the Death Benefit section for details).
If the Insured dies after the request for a withdrawal is received by us and prior to the
withdrawal being processed, the withdrawal will be processed and paid to the owner before the Death
Benefit Proceeds are determined and paid to the beneficiary.
TIMING OF PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Variable Accounts — With respect to allocations made to the Variable Accounts, we will calculate
values for surrenders, withdrawals, loans and, unless transfers are restricted, transfers as of the
end of the Valuation Day on or next following the day on which we receive your instructions. For
any portion of death benefit depending on the Variable Accumulated Value, we will calculate such
value as of the end of the Valuation Day on or next following the day on which the Insured’s death
occurs. We will pay such amounts and will process such transfers within seven days after we
receive all the information needed for the transaction. However, we may postpone the calculation,
payment or transfer of any such amounts derived from the Variable Accounts, if:
• | the New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than customary weekend and holiday closings; |
• | trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); |
• | an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Variable Account assets or corresponding portfolio assets or to dispose of Variable Account securities; or |
• | the SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of policy owners. |
Fixed Options— With respect to allocations made to the Fixed Options, we may defer payments of any
Net Cash Surrender Value, withdrawal or loan (except for loans to pay a premium on any policy
issued by us) for up to six months after we receive your request. If we defer any such payment for
more than 10 days after we receive your request, we will pay interest at the annual rate used to
calculate the settlement options described in the Income Benefits section.
Deferral — If we defer payment of surrenders, withdrawals or loans for more than 10 days after we
receive your request, we will pay interest at the rate required by the state in which this policy
is delivered, but not less than an annual rate equal to the guaranteed rate payable on the Fixed
Options.
INCOME BENEFITS
Income Benefits — All or part of any policy proceeds may, instead of being paid in a lump sum, be
left with us under any one, or a combination of the income benefit plans available, subject to our
minimum amount requirements on the date of election. If the payee is not a natural person, the
choice of a
Page 17 |
payment option will be subject to our approval. We guarantee that the income benefit will not be
less than the income that would be provided by the immediate annuity purchase rates we offer at the
time. We guarantee that we will have at least the following income benefit plans available.
Fixed Income — Equal payments of the amount chosen with interest of not less than 2% per year until
the funds left on deposit are exhausted.
Life Income, with Ten Years Certain — Monthly income will continue for the life of the payee and be
guaranteed to continue for at least ten years; that is, if the payee dies before the end of the
ten-year period, payments will continue to the end of the ten-year period to a person designated in
writing by that payee. The purchase rates for the monthly income for a male or female income
recipient bought by each $1000 of benefits are shown below.

Monthly income amounts for ages not shown are halfway between the two amounts for the nearest two
ages that are shown. Amounts shown are based on an annual interest rate of 2% and the Annuity 2000
female mortality table with five-year age setback. We may require evidence of survival for incomes
that last more than ten years.
POLICY LOANS
Policy Loans — You may obtain policy loans by Written Request after the Free Look Period, on the
sole security of the Loan Account of this policy. We recommend you consult your tax advisor before
requesting a policy loan. Unless you request otherwise, loan amounts will be deducted from the
Investment Options on a pro rata basis.
Loan Amount Available — The amount available for a policy loan is equal to the Accumulated Value
less:
• | three times the most recent Monthly Deduction; |
• | any Surrender Charge; and |
• | any existing Policy Debt. |
Loan Interest — Interest will accrue daily and is payable in arrears at the maximum annual rate of
2.75%. We may use a lower loan interest rate. Interest not paid when due will be added to the
loan principal and bear interest at the same rate.
Loan Repayment — Loans may be repaid at any time while the policy is In Force. An amount equal to
the portion of any loan repaid, but not more than the amount in the Loan Account, will be
transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options according to your most recent
instructions for allocation of premiums. We reserve the right to transfer repayments from the Loan
Account to each Fixed Option up to the amount that was originally borrowed from that Fixed Option.
Any excess over such amount will be transferred to the Variable Accounts according to your most
recent instructions for allocation of premiums.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
Separate Account — We established the Separate Account and maintain it under the laws and
regulations of New York and our state of domicile. The assets of the Separate Account shall be
valued at least as often as any policy benefits vary, but at least monthly. The Separate Account
is divided into subaccounts, called Variable Accounts. Xxxxxx and realized and unrealized gains
and losses from the
Page 18 |
assets of each Variable Account are credited or charged against it without regard to our other
income, gains or losses. Assets may be put in our Separate Account to support this policy and
other variable life policies. Assets may be put in our Separate Account for other purposes, but
not to support contracts or policies other than variable life contracts or policies.
The assets of our Separate Account are our property. The portion of its assets equal to the
reserves and other policy liabilities with respect to our Separate Account will not be chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. We may transfer assets of a
Variable Account in excess of the reserves and other liabilities with respect to that Variable
Account to another Variable Account or to our general account. All obligations arising under the
policy are general corporate obligations of ours. We do not hold ourselves out to be trustees of
the Separate Account assets.
Variable Accounts — Each Variable Account may invest its assets in a separate class of shares of a
designated investment company or companies. The Variable Accounts of our Separate Account that
were available for your initial allocations are shown in your application for this policy. From
time to time, we may make other Variable Accounts available to you. We will provide you with
written notice of all material details including investment objectives and all charges.
We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law then in effect, to:
• | change or add designated investment companies; |
• | add, remove or combine Variable Accounts; |
• | add, delete or make substitutions for the securities that are held or purchased by the Separate Account or any Variable Account; |
• | register or deregister any Variable Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
• | change the classification of any Variable Account; |
• | operate any Variable Account as a managed investment company or as a unit investment trust; |
• | combine the assets of any Variable Account with other separate accounts or subaccounts of ours or our affiliates; |
• | transfer the assets of any Variable Account to other separate accounts or subaccounts of ours or our affiliates; |
• | run any Variable Account under the direction of a committee, board, or other group; |
• | restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policy Owners with respect to any Variable Account, or other persons who have voting rights as to any Variable Account; |
• | change the allocations permitted under the policy; |
• | terminate and liquidate any Variable Account; and |
• | make any other change needed to comply with law. |
If any of these changes result in a material change in the underlying investment of a Variable
Account of our Separate Account, we will notify you of such change.
Unless required by law or regulation, an investment policy may not be changed without our consent.
We will not change the investment policy of the Separate Account without the approval of the
Insurance Commissioner of our state of domicile. The process for such approval is on file.
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
Owner — The Owner of this policy is as shown in the Policy Specifications or as later changed by
Written Request. If you change the Owner, the change is effective on the date the Written Request
is signed, subject to our receipt of it. If there are two or more Owners, they will own this
contract as joint tenants with right of survivorship, unless otherwise provided by Written Request.
Assignment — You may assign this policy by Written Request. When received, the assignment will
take effect as of the date the Written Request was signed. Any rights created by the assignment
will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by us before the change is recorded. We will
not be responsible for the validity of any assignment.
Page 19 |
Beneficiary — The beneficiary is named by you in the application to receive the Death Benefit
proceeds. You may name one or more beneficiaries. If you name more than one beneficiary, they
will share the Death Benefit proceeds equally or as you may otherwise specify by Written Request.
If you have named a contingent beneficiary, that person becomes the beneficiary if the beneficiary
dies before the Insured. A beneficiary may not, at or after the Insured’s death, assign, transfer
or encumber any benefit payable. To the extent allowed by law, policy benefits will not be subject
to the claims of any creditor of any beneficiary.
You may make a change of beneficiary by Written Request on a form provided by us while the policy
is In Force. The change will take place as of the date the request is signed. Any rights created
by the change will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by us before we have received
the Written Request. You may designate a permanent beneficiary whose rights under the policy
cannot be changed without his or her written consent.
The interest of a beneficiary who does not outlive the Insured will be divided pro rata among the
surviving beneficiaries. If no beneficiaries survive to receive payment, the Death Benefit
Proceeds will pass to the Owner, or the Owner’s estate if the Owner does not survive to receive
payment. In the event of a simultaneous death of the Insured and a beneficiary such that it cannot
be determined who died first, it will be assumed, unless otherwise provided, that the beneficiary
died last.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Entire Contract — This policy is a contract between you and us. This policy, the attached copy of
the initial Application, including any amendments and endorsements to the Application, any
applications for reinstatement, any endorsements, benefits, or riders, and all additional policy
information sections added to this policy are the entire contract. Only our president, chief
executive officer or secretary is authorized to change this contract or extend the time for paying
premiums. Any such change must be in writing.
All statements in the Application shall be deemed representations and not warranties. We will not
use any statement to contest this policy or defend a claim on grounds of misrepresentation unless
the statement is in an application.
Incontestability — We will not contest this policy unless there was a material misrepresentation in
the Application. If we determine that the Application contains a material misrepresentation, we
will rescind the policy and return to you the premiums paid less any policy loans and any
withdrawals taken. No Death Benefit will be paid. Unless you fail to pay required premiums, this
policy cannot be contested, except as provided below, after it has been In Force for two years
during the Insured’s lifetime.
If this policy lapses and is later reinstated, we will not contest the reinstated policy unless
there was a material misrepresentation in the Application required for reinstatement. If we
determine that such Application contains a material misrepresentation, we will rescind the
reinstated policy as of the reinstatement date and return to you the premiums paid after the
reinstatement date less any policy loans and any withdrawals taken after the reinstatement date.
No Death Benefit will be paid. We will not contest the reinstated policy after it has been In
Force for two years following such reinstatement during the Insured’s lifetime.
If there has been a change to the policy for which we required the Insured to submit Evidence of
Insurability, we will not contest such a change unless there was a material misrepresentation in
the Application required for the change. If we determine that such Application contains a material
misrepresentation, we will rescind the policy change and all policy charges made after the change
will be reversed and corrected charges applied so that the policy’s Accumulated Value will be
unaffected by the change. Any Death Benefits or other benefits that become payable will be
determined as though the policy change had never been requested. We will not contest any such
change after two years following the effective date of the change during the Insured’s lifetime.
If this policy was issued as a result of a conversion option from another policy, we cannot contest
this policy after it has been In Force during the Insured’s lifetime for two years from the issue
date of the prior policy.
Page 20 |
Non-Participating — This policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.
Suicide Exclusion — If the Insured dies by suicide within two years of the Policy Date, the Death
Benefit Proceeds will be limited to an amount equal to the sum of the premiums paid, less the sum
of any policy loans and withdrawals. If any insurance amount of this policy was issued under a
term insurance conversion option, the two-year period for excluding death by suicide for such
amount does not start anew, but is effective as of the issue date of the term policy or rider.
If the Insured dies by suicide after two years from the Policy Date but within two years after the
effective date of any increase in the Total Face Amount or, if applicable, the latest reinstatement
date, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be limited by the following adjustments:
1) any such increase in Total Face Amount will be excluded;
1) any such increase in Total Face Amount will be excluded;
2) | refund of the portion of Monthly Deductions associated with any such increase will be included; and |
3) | Premium Load associated with the portion of Monthly Deductions referred to in 2) above will be included. |
Misstatement — If the Insured’s sex or birth date is misstated in the application and it is
discovered on or after the death of the Insured, the Death Benefit shall be the Minimum Death
Benefit for the correct sex and birth date, or if greater, a Death Benefit based on a Net Amount at
Risk adjusted by the ratio of the incorrect Cost of Insurance Rate to the correct Cost of Insurance
Rate. The adjusted Net Amount at Risk will result in an adjusted Death Benefit, since the Death
Benefit depends on the Net Amount at Risk.
If the Insured’s sex or birth date is misstated in the application and it is discovered before the
death of the Insured, we will not recalculate the Accumulated Value, but we will use the correct
sex and birth date of the Insured in calculating future Monthly Deductions.
Maturity — This policy does not mature, but will continue In Force so long as the Insured is alive
and the policy has not been surrendered and lapse has not occurred.
After the Monthly Deduction End Date — Provided the policy is still In Force, coverage will
continue on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date, subject to all policy provisions, with these
exceptions and clarifications:
• | monthly Deductions will cease; |
• | premiums will not be accepted except when necessary to prevent a lapse; |
• | loans will be allowed; |
• | loan repayments will be permitted; |
• | loan interest will continue to accrue; and |
• | withdrawals will not be allowed. |
Annual Report — A report will be mailed to your last known address no less frequently than
annually. This report will show:
• | the beginning and end dates of the reporting period; |
• | the Accumulated Value at the beginning and end of the reporting period; |
• | amounts that have been credited or debited to the Accumulated Value during the reporting period, identified by type; |
• | the Death Benefit at the end of the reporting period on each life covered by the policy; |
• | the Net Cash Surrender Value at the end of the reporting period; |
• | any Policy Debt outstanding at the end of the reporting period; and |
• | any other information required by law. |
In addition to the above report, we will also mail you an annual report containing financial
statements for the Separate Account and the designated investment company or companies or other
designated portfolio(s) in which the Separate Account invests. The latter report will include a
list of the portfolio securities of the investment company, or of any other designated portfolio,
as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940. We will also send any other reports as required
by federal securities law.
Policy Illustrations — Upon request we will give you a hypothetical illustration of the future
benefits under this policy based upon both guaranteed and current cost factor assumptions. Such
illustrations reflect
Page 21 |
assumptions about the policy’s non-guaranteed elements and about how you will use the policy’s
options. Over time the policy’s actual non-guaranteed elements, and your actual use of the
policy’s options, are likely to vary from the assumptions used in such illustrations. For these
reasons, actual policy values will likely be more or less favorable than shown in such
illustrations. We reserve the right to charge a fee not to exceed $25 for each illustration in
excess of one per policy year.
Juvenile Insured — This provision only applies if the Insured was under Age 20 on the Policy Date.
Beginning when the Insured attains Age 20, you will have an opportunity to improve your policy’s
Risk Class as compared with the Risk Class that applied prior to Age 20. This may reduce the
actual Cost of Insurance Charge that is deducted from your policy’s Accumulated Value. At least 60
days prior to the Insured’s Age 20, we will send to your last known address a notice of your right
to apply for an improved Risk Class for the Insured of “Nonsmoker”. In order to qualify for such
improved Risk Class, you will be required to supply Evidence of Insurability satisfactory to us.
In order for such improved Risk Class to take effect at Age 20, you must make the Written Request
prior to Age 20. If you do not request an improved Risk Class for the Insured, a Risk Class of
“Smoker” will be assigned.
Basis of Values — All nonforfeiture values for this policy will be at least equal to the minimums
required by the state in which this policy was delivered. A detailed statement showing how such
values are determined has been filed with the insurance department in states that require such
filing. To calculate the minimum required nonforfeiture values, we use the Fixed Account
Guaranteed Interest Rate shown in the Policy Specifications and mortality rates from the 2001 CSO
mortality tables using age nearest birthday. The rates we use are the same for both smokers and
nonsmokers and are sex-distinct unless this policy is issued on a unisex basis, in which case
gender-blended rates are used (80% male, 20% female).
Ownership of Assets — We have the exclusive and absolute control of our assets, including all
assets in the Separate or Variable Accounts.
Tax Qualification as Life Insurance — This policy is intended to qualify as a life insurance
contract for federal tax purposes, and the Death Benefit under this policy is intended to qualify
for federal income tax exclusion. The policy, including any rider, benefit or endorsement, shall
be interpreted to ensure and maintain such tax qualification, despite any other provision to the
contrary. As of the date of the filing of this policy in the state in which it was delivered, the
Internal Revenue Service has not issued any official guidance on the tax treatment of life
insurance policies that continue coverage beyond Age 100. You should consult your tax advisor, as
there may be tax consequences.
If at any time the premiums paid under the policy exceed the amount allowable for such tax
qualification, the excess amount, including any interest, shall be removed from the policy as of
the date of its payment in accordance with federal tax law. Any appropriate adjustments will be
made to the Death Benefit and/or Accumulated Value of the policy. We will refund to you this
excess amount, including interest, no later than 60 days after the end of the contract year in
which this excess amount occurs, as determined under federal tax law.
If this excess amount is not refunded by the end of such 60-day period, the Death Benefit shall be
increased retroactively and prospectively to the minimum extent necessary so that at no time is the
Death Benefit ever less than the amount necessary to ensure or maintain such tax qualification. In
addition, the Accumulated Value will be reduced to reflect the increased Monthly Deductions that
result from such Death Benefit increase, starting on the date that the increase is effective.
If you request a decrease in policy or rider benefits, it may cause a reduction in any applicable
limits on premiums or cash values for the policy to qualify as life insurance under federal tax
law. Such a reduction in these limits may require us to make a distribution from the policy equal
to the greatest amount by which the premiums paid or cash values for the policy, as determined
under federal tax law, exceed any such reduced limits, in order to maintain the policy’s tax
qualification. If such a distribution is made, the distribution will be paid to you and the
Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of the distribution. However, no request for a
decrease in policy or rider benefits will be allowed to the extent that the resulting reduction in
such tax limits would require us to distribute more than the Net Cash Surrender Value for the
policy.
Page 22 |
Modified Endowment Contract Tax Status — Unless and until you have given us a Written Request to
accept a Modified Endowment Contract classification for your policy, the provisions of this
Modified Endowment Contract Tax Status subsection apply to your policy. Under federal tax law, if
the funding of a life insurance contract occurs too rapidly, it becomes a Modified Endowment
Contract (“MEC”) and fails to qualify for certain favorable tax treatment as a result. This policy
is intended to qualify as a life insurance contract that is not a MEC for federal tax purposes. To
achieve these purposes, the provisions of this policy (including any rider or endorsement that does
not specifically override this tax qualification provision) shall be interpreted to prevent this
policy from being subject to such MEC treatment, despite any other provision to the contrary. At
no time shall the amount of death benefit under this policy ever be less than the minimum amount
needed to avoid such MEC treatment.
We will not accept a payment as premium or otherwise which would cause the policy to become a MEC.
The 7-Pay Premium, shown on Page 3.0, is used solely to determine the policy’s premium limits to
avoid MEC treatment. Payment of one or more 7-Pay Premium amounts does not guarantee that the
policy will never lapse, and additional premiums may be necessary to prevent the policy from
lapsing in the future.
If at any time the amounts paid under the policy exceed the limit for avoiding such MEC treatment,
this excess amount, including any interest as determined under federal tax law, shall be removed
from the policy as of the date of its payment, and any appropriate adjustment in the death benefit
and/or Accumulated Value shall be made as of such date. This excess amount, including any
interest, shall be refunded no later than 60 days after the end of the applicable contract year, as
determined under federal tax law.
If this excess amount is not refunded by the end of such 60-day period, the Death Benefit shall be
increased retroactively and prospectively to the minimum extent necessary so that at no time is the
Death Benefit ever less than the minimum amount necessary to avoid Modified Endowment Contract
classification. In addition, the Accumulated Value will be reduced to reflect the increased
Monthly Deductions resulting from such Death Benefit increase, starting on the date that the
increase is effective.
Any request that would change the Death Benefit or any other benefit or rider under the policy will
not be processed if the change would cause the policy to be classified as a Modified Endowment
Contract. Requested changes that could cause the policy to be classified as a Modified Endowment
Contract include, but are not limited to, an elective reduction in the Face Amount, a Death Benefit
Option change that would cause a reduction in the Face Amount, and a withdrawal that would cause a
reduction in the Face Amount.
Other Distributions of Accumulated Value — If the Net Amount at Risk ever exceeds three times the
original Face Amount, we reserve the right to make a distribution of Accumulated Value to make the
Net Amount at Risk equal three times the original Face Amount. In such case, the distribution will
be treated as a premium refund. Note that while such a distribution will be treated as a premium
refund for certain contract purposes, normal tax rules will apply in determining the amount of such
a distribution, if any, which is taxable.
Compliance — We reserve the right to make any change to the provisions of this policy to comply
with, or give you the benefit of, any federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but
not limited to requirements for life insurance contracts under the Code or of any state. We will
provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with the insurance supervisory
official of the state in which this policy is delivered. You have the right to refuse any such
change.
