Amendment #7
to the
AUTOMATIC AND FACULTATIVE
YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM REINSURANCE AGREEMENT
EFFECTIVE April 30, 2000
Between
PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
(PICA)
And
MUNICH AMERICAN REASURANCE COMPANY
(MUNICH)
The parties hereby agree to the following:
|
|
• |
SECTION 10a, COMMENCEMENT OF REINSURANCE COVERAGE – AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE, shall be replaced by the following: |
a. AUTOMATIC REINSURANCE
MUNICH’s reinsurance coverage for any policy that is ceded automatically under this Agreement will begin and end simultaneously with PICA’s contractual liability for the policy reinsured.
In addition, MUNICH will be liable for benefits paid under PICA’s conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement if all of the conditions for automatic reinsurance coverage under Section 6 of this Agreement are met.
For UL, VUL II, and VUL 2004 (issued before January 1, 2005) policies, MUNICH’s liability under PICA’s conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement is limited to the lesser of (1) MUNICH’s reinsured portion of the face amount of the policy and (2) $200,000.
For ProFunds and VUL 2004 (issued on or after January 1, 2005) policies, MUNICH’s liability under PICA’s conditional receipt or temporary insurance agreement is limited to the lesser of (1) MUNICH’s reinsured portion of the face amount of the policy and (2) $300,000.
|
|
• |
SECTION 12a, PAYMENT OF REINSURANCE PREMIUMS—PREMIUM DUE, shall be replaced by the following: |
a. PREMIUM DUE
ANNUAL PREMIUM DUE.
For each policy reinsured under this Agreement, reinsurance premiums for 20% of the net amount at risk related to the face amount of the policy for UL-VUL II and VUL 2004, and 30% of the net amount at risk related to the face amount of the policy for ProFunds are payable annually in advance. These premiums are due on the issue date and each subsequent policy anniversary.
MONTHLY PREMIUM DUE.
For each VUL 2004 policy issued on or after January 1, 2005, and reinsured under this Agreement, reinsurance premiums for 10% of the net amount at risk related to the face amount of the policy are payable on a policy month basis. These premiums are due on the issue date and on each subsequent policy month anniversary. Monthly premiums on a policy month basis will be 1/12 of the reinsurance premium as defined in Section 11.
Within 30 days after the close of each reporting period, PICA will send, or cause to be sent, to MUNICH a statement of account for that period along with payment of the full balance due. On any payment date, monies payable between PICA and MUNICH under this Agreement may be netted to determine the payment due. This offset will apply regardless of the insolvency of either party as described in Section 23, to the extent permitted by law. If the statement of account shows a balance due PICA, MUNICH will remit that amount to PICA within 30 days of receipt of the statement of account. All financial transactions under this Agreement will be in United States dollars. If the reinsurance premium cannot be determined on an exact basis by the dates described below, such payments will be paid in accordance with a mutually agreed upon formula which will approximate the actual payments. Adjustments will then be made to reflect actual amounts when such information is available.
