Primary Insured Rider
Additional Insured Rider
NOTE: These rates are guaranteed except where a particular rate is less than applicable minimum net valuation premium. In this event it is the latter rate that shall be guaranteed by AUL. All premiums are non-experienced rated.
The table rated substandard extra premiums will be per table of the standard premium.
Effective August 1, 2012
Exhibit C
2. Supplemental Benefits:

Standard Classification
Reinsurance Premium For Reinsurance of Accidental Death Benefit
(Rates per $1,000)
The above rates are applicable when the Accidental Death includes the usual exclusions and an expiry date not later than age 70, and the rider does not provide additional benefits, such as Common Carrier, Auto, etc.
When the Accidental Death Rider includes additional benefits such as Common Carrier, Auto, etc., AUL will furnish special reinsurance premium rates per $1,000 applicable, upon receipt of specimen copy of the rider.
3. Flat Extras: The reinsurance multiples applied to flat extra premiums will be as follows:
4. Conversions:
In the event a reinsured policy is converted to another plan, it is intended that reinsurance continue with AUL. The normal basis for continuing such reinsurance will be YRT, using the Ceding Company’s then current new business reinsurance YRT rate scale. The issue age and duration will be measured from the original effective date of reinsurance. Recapture will be allowed after ten years, again being measured from the original effective date of reinsurance.
Effective Date August 1, 2012
