4. Contract
The Contract
This Policy is a legal contract between the Owner of the Policy (called "you")
and New England Variable Life Insurance Company, a Delaware corporation, (called
"the Company"). The Policy, which includes the attached Application, is the
entire contract between you and the Company. All riders are listed in Section 1.
A change in or waiver of the provisions of the Policy must be signed by the
President or the Secretary of the Company to be valid.
Payments Under the Contract
All contract amounts are in dollars of the United States of America. Payments by
the Company under the contract will be made at the Administrative Office of the
Company. The obligations of the Company are subject to all payments made and
actions taken by the Company under the Policy before receipt by the Company at
its Administrative Office of proof of death of the Insured.
Dates
Policy years, months and anniversaries are all measured from the Policy Date.
The contestable and suicide periods start on the Date of Issue. The Policy Date
and the Date of Issue are both shown in Section 1.
Not Contestable After Two Years
Insurance is issued by the Company in reliance on the statements made in the
Application for the insurance. Those statements are representations: they are
not warranties. No statement can be used to contest or rescind insurance or to
defend against a claim unless contained in the Application for the insurance.
The insurance issued under this Policy will not be contestable after it has been
in force during the life of the Insured:
. With respect to the amount of Death Benefit which results from other than
Unscheduled Payments, for two years from the Date of Issue; and
. With respect to any Death Benefit which results from an Unscheduled Payment
for which proof is required that the Insured is insurable, for two years
from the date that Unscheduled Payment is received.
Suicide Within Two Years
If the Insured dies by suicide while sane or insane within two years from the
Date of Issue, the Death Benefit will be limited to: the amount of the premiums
paid; plus the amount
of any Unscheduled Payments; less the amount of each partial surrender; less the
amount of each partial withdrawal; less any Policy Loan Balance on the date of
death.
Age of Insured
The age of the Insured on the Policy Date and on policy anniversaries means the
age at the nearest birthday of the Insured. Between anniversaries, age means age
on the last anniversary plus elapsed time.
If it is discovered on or before the Premium Recalculation Date of the Policy
that the age or sex of the Insured has not been correctly stated in the
application:
. The values and benefits will be the amounts which the premiums and
Unscheduled Payments paid would have purchased for the correct age and sex;
and
. If necessary, the Premium Recalculation Date and the Premium Change Date
will be changed to reflect the correct age.
If it is discovered after the Premium Recalculation Date of the Policy that the
age or sex of the Insured has not been correctly stated in the application:
. The values and benefits will be the amounts which would have been purchased
for the correct age and sex based on premiums paid before the Premium
Recalculation Date, Unscheduled Payments paid in all years and the new
premium due starting on the correct Premium Change Date;
. If necessary, the Premium Recalculation Date and the Premium Change Date
will be changed to reflect the correct age; and
. A new premium will be calculated as of the correct Premium Recalculation
Date.
The Company will compare the new premium to the premium calculated before the
misstatement was discovered. If the new premium is greater, you will be charged
for the difference in premiums due for the Policy. If the new premium is less,
the Company will refund the difference to you.
The Company will reprocess each policy transaction to determine the current Cash
Value and Death Benefit based on
the correct cost of insurance rates.
Claims of Creditors
The Policy and payments under it will be exempt from the claims of creditors to
the extent allowed by law.
Basis of Values
"1980 CSO" means Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary; it is used to describe
mortality tables. The B Tables are used for unisex issues and are weighted 80
per cent male and 20 per cent female. The Policy Class and issue basis are shown
in Section 1. Unisex issues provide the same rates, benefits and values for
males and females.
If the Policy is in a Nonsmoker Class, the table is the 1980 CSO Nonsmoker
Table.
If the Policy is in a Smoker Class, the table is the 1980 CSO Smoker Table.
If the age of the Insured on the Policy Date is less than 20, the table is the
1980 CSO Table.
Reserves and Cash Values are not less than those based on the mortality table
for this Policy. Reserves are not less than reserves computed by the
Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method. Net single premiums, Fixed and Variable
Paid-Up Insurance and Fixed Extended Term Insurance are based on the mortality
table for this Policy. Curtate monthly functions are used. Interest is
compounded monthly at the annual effective rate shown in Section 1. (See the
Basis of Values Interest Rate.) A detailed statement of the method of computing
values and net single premiums has been filed with the Insurance Department of
the state in which the Policy is delivered. All values are equal to or are in
excess of the minimum values required by, and all comply with, the law of that
state.
Periodic Reports
The Company will send you all reports required by law and regulation. Such
reports will be sent once each year or more often if required by law or
regulation. The annual report will include, as of the date for which the report
is made: the Death Benefit; the Cash Value; any Policy Loan Balance; and any
other required information. No annual reports will be sent while the Policy is
in force under the Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option or the Fixed Extended Term
Insurance Option.
Postponement of Variable Benefits
The Company can postpone the determination of and the payment or transfer of
amounts based on separate investment account performance if:
. The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (except for normal
weekend and holiday closing) or when trading is restricted; or
. The Securities and Exchange Commission determines that a state of emergency
exists which may make payment or transfer impractical; or
. The Securities and Exchange Commission orders the New England Zenith Fund
or its successor or any other investment company in which the Variable
Account is invested to postpone payment or transfer of variable benefits.
Postponement of Loans and Surrender Under Fixed Lapse Options
If the Policy is in force under the Fixed Paid-Up or Fixed Extended Term
Insurance Option, the Company can postpone payment of the Net Cash Value for not
more than six months after surrender. If payment is postponed for more than 30
days it will be credited with interest from the date of surrender. The rate of
interest will be set each year by the Company; but the rate will not be less
than 3 1/2% per year.
If the Policy is in force under the Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option, the Company
can postpone the making of any Policy Loan for not more than six months from the
day you apply, except Loans to pay premiums on policies issued by the Company.
Postponement of Surrenders, Transfers and Loans From The Fixed Account
The Company can postpone the payment of the portion of the Policy's Net Cash
Value which is in the Fixed Account for not more than six months after
surrender. If payment is postponed for more than 30 days, it will be credited
with interest from the date of surrender. The rate of interest will be set each
year by the Company; but the rate will not be less than 3 1/2% per year.
The Company can postpone transfers from the Fixed Account for not more than six
months from the date of the request. The effective date of the transfer is the
date on which values are transferred from the Fixed Account.
The Company can postpone the making of any Policy Loan from
the Fixed Account for not more than six months from the day you apply, except
Loans to pay premiums on policies issued by the Company.
5. Premiums
Payment
Premiums are scheduled payments to the Company for the Policy. Payments can be
made at the Administrative Office of the Company or at any Agency of the
Company. A receipt for payment signed by the Secretary of the Company will be
given on request. The Policy will not be in force until the first premium is
paid.
Amount and Frequency
Annual premiums for the Policy and for any riders are shown in Section 1.
Payments can be annual, semi-annual or quarterly or can be at any other
frequency agreed to by the Company. Payment is due in advance on the first day
of each payment period, starting on the Policy Date. Future Cash Values and
Death Benefits can be permanently affected:
. By payment of premiums at a frequency other than annual; and
. By changing the frequency of payment of premiums.
No premium will be due or payable for any period after the death of the Insured.
The Company will send you a bill 25 days before the premium due date if you pay
premiums at an annual, semi-annual or quarterly frequency. The bill will show:
the premium due; any policy loan interest due; and any planned Unscheduled
Payment, if the premium due date is a policy anniversary. If you submit the bill
with a payment, the premium due will be paid, if the payment is large enough.
The amount of the payment which is in excess of the premium due will be used to
pay any policy loan interest due. Any remaining amount will be an Unscheduled
Payment. (See Section 6.) If you submit a payment without a bill, the payment
will be deemed to be the premium due if: the payment is received in the period
between 25 days prior to the premium due date and 31 days after the premium due
date; and the payment is large enough to pay the premium due. The amount of the
payment which is in excess of the premium due will be used to pay any policy
loan interest due; any remainder will be an Unscheduled Payment. Any payment
received that is less than the premium due will be deemed an Unscheduled
Payment. (See Section 6.)
If you pay premiums at any other frequency, each payment will be credited as
agreed to by you and the Company.
Premium Recalculation Date
On the Premium Recalculation Date the Company will calculate a new premium for
the Policy based on the Cash Value of the Policy on that Date: before any
premium due on that Date is credited to the Policy; and before any monthly
charges for that Date are deducted from the Cash Value. The new premium will be
due starting on the next policy anniversary (called "Premium Change Date"). The
new premium will not be greater than the Guaranteed Maximum Premium shown in
Section 1.
Grace Period
There is a grace period of 31 days in which to pay a premium, without interest,
after its due date. The insurance will be in force during the grace period.
There is no grace period for the first premium.
Special Premium Option
If you choose this Option in writing it will take effect after the first policy
year. When this Option is in effect, each time a premium has not been paid by
the end of its grace period, the Company will determine if the Option will
apply. This Option will apply if the following conditions are met:
On the due date of the premium in default, the Cash Value less the Tabular Value
is equal to or greater than the total of the Policy and rider premiums in
default; and
. Use of the Option will not result in the Policy Loan Balance exceeding the
Loan Value of the Policy.
If the Option is applied, the Company will not require payment of the policy
premium less any substandard premium. The Company will deduct from the Cash
Value 91% of each of the following:
. Any substandard premium, if the Policy is in other than a Standard Policy
Class;
. Any rider premium in default; and
. The administrative charge for the policy premium.
If the premiums are being paid at a frequency other than annual, the amount of
the payment not required and the
deduction will reflect the frequency of premium payment.
The amount will be deducted in the same proportion as the Cash Value of the
Policy is in the sub-accounts and the Fixed Account. If this Option is applied,
the Policy will not lapse for nonpayment of the premium.
If you have chosen both this Option and the Option for Automatic Premium Payment
by Policy Loans, the Company first will determine if this Option will apply. If
this Option cannot be applied, the Company will determine if the Option for
Automatic Premium Payment by Policy Loans will apply.
You can choose in writing to use or to cancel the Special Premium Option.
Use of this Option can have a permanent effect on Cash Values and Death
Benefits.
Option for Automatic Premium Payment by Policy Loans
If this Option has been chosen in writing and a premium is not paid by the end
of its grace period, a premium will be paid using any available Loan Value of
the Policy as long as the Special Premium Option is not applied. (See Section
13.) If the unpaid premium is an annual or a semi-annual premium, it will be
paid in full, if possible. Otherwise, a premium will be paid to the next
quarterly due date, if possible. If the amount available is not enough to pay a
premium to the next quarterly due date, no premium will be paid. Loan interest
will be charged on automatic Policy Loans from the due date of the premium. You
can choose in writing to use or to cancel this Option.
Premium Adjustment at Death
The pro rata portion of any premium paid for a period beyond the date of death
will be added to the policy proceeds. This adjustment does not apply to Variable
Paid-Up, Fixed Paid-Up or Fixed Extended Term Insurance.
If the Insured dies during the grace period of an unpaid premium, the policy
proceeds will be reduced by a pro rata premium to the date of death.
6. Unscheduled Payments
Unscheduled Payments
Unscheduled Payments can be made at any time subject to the following:
. The Policy must be in force on a premium paying basis;
and
. The premiums for the Policy and any riders are not being waived under any
Waiver of Premiums Rider attached to the Policy; and
. No Unscheduled Payment can be less than $25 except with the consent of the
Company; and
. If an Unscheduled Payment would increase the Death Benefit by more than it
would increase the Cash Value, proof that the Insured is insurable and the
Company's consent will be required; and
. If the Policy is in other than a Standard Policy Class, the Company's
consent will be required.
Unscheduled Payments will not be waived by the Company under any Waiver of
Premiums rider attached to the Policy.
Each net Unscheduled Payment (see Section 1) will be applied to the Policy as of
the date it is received by the Company at its Administrative Office. There is no
grace period for Unscheduled Payments.
If the Policy lapses and you made an Unscheduled Payment during the grace period
of the premium in default, the amount of the Unscheduled Payment will be
refunded to you.
7. The Variable Account
The Variable Account
The Variable Account (called "the Account") is a separate investment account
established by the Company in accordance with Delaware law. The assets of the
Account are owned by the Company. The assets of the Account will be used to
provide values and benefits under this Policy and similar policies; but the
Account is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the
Company may conduct.
Sub-Accounts
The Account consists of sub-accounts, each of which is invested in shares of one
portfolio of the New England Zenith fund or its successor or any other
investment company in which the Account is invested. Shares of a portfolio are
purchased for a sub-account at their net asset value.
The Policy's first investment is made in the Money Market sub-account as of the
latest of:
. The Policy Date;
. The date of Part II of the Application, if any is required; and
. The date the first premium is received by the Company.
The Policy's Cash Value will be transferred, based on your choice, to the sub-
accounts and the Fixed Account as of the later of: 45 days after Part I of the
Application is signed; and 10 days after the Company mails the separate Notice
of Withdrawal Right. Before this transfer, the values and benefits of the Policy
will depend on the net investment performance of the Money Market sub-account.
After this transfer: each net premium allocated to the Account will be invested
in the sub-accounts you chose as of its due date; and each net Unscheduled
Payment allocated to the Account will be invested in the sub-accounts you chose
as of the date it is received by the Company at its Administrative Office.
Each distribution of income, dividends and capital gains from a portfolio to a
sub-account will be reinvested for the benefit of the owners of the policies in
that sub-account at net asset value in shares of the portfolio which made the
distribution.
The Cash Value of the Policy at any time cannot be allocated among more than 10
sub-accounts, except with the consent of the Company; and the Fixed Account will
be counted in the limit of 10.
The values and benefits of a policy depend on: the investment performance of
the portfolios in which the sub-accounts are invested; and the interest credited
to the Fixed Account. The Company does not guarantee the investment performance
of the portfolios of the sub-accounts. You bear the investment risk for amounts
invested in the sub-accounts for your Policy.
Choice of Sub-Accounts
You choose the sub-accounts in which net premiums and net Unscheduled Payments
are to be invested. You can change the choice for future premiums and future
Unscheduled Payments at any time by notice to the Company. The portion of the
net premium and the net Unscheduled Payment to be applied to each sub-account
chosen must be a whole percent not less than 10.
The portfolios as of the Date of Issue are listed in the then current prospectus
for the Account.
Change in Portfolios
The Company can add or remove portfolios as sub-account investments as permitted
by law. When a change is made, the Company will send you: a revised prospectus
for the Account which will describe all of the portfolios then available in the
New England Zenith Fund or its successor or any other investment company in
which the Account is invested; and any notice required by law.
When a portfolio is removed, the Company has the right to substitute a different
portfolio in which the sub-account will then invest:
. The value of the removed portfolio; and
. Future net premiums and future net Unscheduled Payments applied to that
sub-account.
Transfer Option
After the Right to Return the Policy period you can transfer all or a portion of
the Policy's existing share of a sub-account to another sub-account or to the
Fixed Account. (See Restriction of New Amounts Applied to the Fixed Account
provision.) Requests for transfers can be made in writing or by telephone. The
Company is not responsible for determining the authenticity of transfer
instructions received by telephone. Transfers will be subject to a limit of 4 in
each policy year, except with the consent of the Company.
Change of Investment Policy
The investment policy of the Account will not be changed unless: (a) the change
has been approved by the Insurance Commissioner of the state of Delaware; and
(b) a statement of the approval process has been filed with the Insurance
Department of the state in which this Policy is delivered. If the investment
policy of the Account is changed, the Company will give you written notice of
the change. You can then choose to exchange this Policy for a new policy which
has a fixed death benefit. The exchange will be on the same basis as that
described in the Exchange of Policy section. (See Section 14.) If you choose to
make the exchange, the request for the exchange must be made within 60 days of
the later of: (a) the effective date of the investment policy change; or (b) the
date you receive the notice of the change.
Rights Reserved by the Company
The Company reserves the right to take certain actions subject to compliance
with law including, if required, the approval of the owners of the policies.
These actions are: (a) to create new investment accounts; (b) to combine any two
or more separate investment accounts, including the Account; (c) to invest some
or all of the assets of the Account other than in the New England Zenith Fund;
(d) to operate the Account as a management investment company and to charge
investment advisory fees under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to operate
the Account in any other form permitted by law; and (e) to deregister the
Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if registration is no longer
required.
8. The Fixed Account
The Fixed Account
The Fixed Account is a segmented fund within the general account of the Company.
If you choose the Fixed Account, the first date on which money is applied to the
Fixed Account for the Policy is the latest of:
. 45 days after Part 1 of the Application is signed;
. 10 days after the Company mails the separate Notice of Withdrawal Right;
and
. The effective date of the choice of the Fixed Account.
Before this date, the value of the portion of the net premium and any net
Unscheduled Payment allocated to the Fixed Account will depend on the net
investment performance of the Money Market sub-account of the Variable Account.
After this date: each net premium allocated to the Fixed Account will be applied
as of its due date; and each net Unscheduled Payment allocated to the Fixed
Account will be applied as of the date it is received by the Company at its
Administrative Office. Each transfer to the Fixed Account will be applied as of
the transfer date.
Fixed Account Interest
The rate of interest for each amount applied to the Fixed Account: will be the
rate set by the Company in advance for the date the amount is applied to the
Fixed Account; and will not be less than a rate equivalent to an annual
effective rate of 4.5%. The effective interest rate used on your Policy will be
the weighted average of all such rates for your Policy.
Each year, on the policy anniversary, the Company will determine a portion, if
any, of the Policy's share of the Fixed Account which will be reinvested at the
rate effective on that date.
Interest will be credited to the Fixed Account on a daily basis.
Restriction of New Amounts Applied to the Fixed Account
The Company reserves the right to restrict new amounts applied to the Fixed
Account if the rate of interest that would be used for the new amount is a rate
equivalent to an annual effective rate of 4.5%.
Transfers Out of the Fixed Account
You can transfer a limited portion of the Policy's share of the Fixed Account to
the sub-accounts once within 30 days before each policy anniversary. The
transfer will be limited to the greater of: 25% of the Policy's share of the
Fixed Account; and the amount of the Policy's share of the Fixed Account
transferred to the sub-accounts the prior year. Requests for transfers can be
made in writing or by telephone. The Company is not responsible for determining
the authenticity of transfer instructions received by telephone.
Choice of the Fixed Account
You can choose to have net premiums and net Unscheduled Payments applied to the
Fixed Account. You can change the choice for future net premiums and future net
Unscheduled Payments at any time by notice to the Company in writing. (See the
Restriction of New Amounts Applied to the Fixed Account provision.) The portion
of the net premium and net Unscheduled Payment to be applied to the Fixed
Account must be a whole percent not less than 10.
9. Nonpayment of Premiums
Lapse of Policy
Any premium which is not paid by its due date is in default. If it remains
unpaid at the end of its 31-day grace period and is not paid automatically under
one of the options in Section 5, the Policy will lapse and Unscheduled Payments
cannot be made. If the Policy lapses to Fixed Paid-Up Insurance or Fixed
Extended Term Insurance, it will not be affected by: the investment performance
of the Account; and the interest rates used for the Fixed Account.
Lapse Options
If the Policy lapses because a premium is not paid, any Net Cash Value of the
Policy less the amount of each partial surrender and partial withdrawal made
during the grace period of the premium in default will be: transferred from the
Fixed Account and the Account to the general account of the Company and used to
continue the Policy in force either as Fixed Paid-Up Insurance or Fixed Extended
Term Insurance as stated below; or left in the Fixed Account and the Account and
used to continue the Policy in force as Variable Paid-Up Insurance as stated
below. Any riders will lapse unless otherwise stated in the rider. Any Policy
Loan Balance will be cancelled when the Net Cash Value is used for this purpose.
Choice of Lapse Option
If the Policy is in a Standard Policy Class (see Section 1), the use of the
Fixed Extended Term Insurance Option at lapse will be automatic unless you
choose the Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option or the Variable Paid-Up Insurance
Option. You can make or change your choice at any time in writing, but not later
than 60 days after the due date of the premium in default. Unless Variable Paid-
Up Insurance applies:
. If the Net Cash Value less the amount of each partial surrender and partial
withdrawal made during the grace period of the premium in default will
provide an amount of Fixed Paid-Up Insurance equal to or greater than the
amount of Fixed Extended Term Insurance, the Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option
will be used; and
. If the Insured dies within 60 days after the due date of the premium in
default, the Fixed Option which will provide the greater death benefit will
be used.
If the Policy is in other than a Standard Policy Class, only the Fixed Paid-Up
Insurance Option is available.
Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option
Fixed Paid-Up Insurance is permanent life insurance for a level amount with no
premiums due. It has increasing Cash Values and Loan Values. The amount of Fixed
Paid-Up Insurance is payable at the death of the Insured.
Fixed Paid-Up Insurance will be provided by using the Net Cash Value of the
Policy less the amount of each partial surrender and partial withdrawal made
during the grace period of the premium in default as a net single premium at the
age of the Insured on the due date of the premium in default.
Fixed Extended Term Insurance Option
(Available only if the Policy is in a Standard Policy Class.) Fixed Extended
Term Insurance is life insurance for a level amount for a limited term with no
premiums due. It has Cash Values, but no Loan Value. The amount of Fixed
Extended Term Insurance is payable only if the Insured dies prior to the end of
the term.
Fixed Extended Term Insurance will be provided by using the Net Cash Value of
the Policy less the amount of each partial surrender and partial withdrawal made
during the grace period of the premium in default as a net single premium at the
age of the Insured on the due date of the premium in default. The amount of
Fixed Extended Term Insurance will equal the Death Benefit of the Policy on the
due date of the premium in default.
Variable Paid-Up Insurance Option
Variable Paid-Up Insurance is available:
. If the Policy is in a Standard Policy Class; and
. If the initial Amount of Variable Paid-Up Insurance is at least $5,000.
If you chose this Option and the Initial Amount of Variable Paid-Up Insurance is
less than $5,000, Fixed Paid-Up Insurance will be provided.
Variable Paid-Up Insurance is permanent life insurance with no premiums due. The
Initial Amount of Variable Paid-Up Insurance will be determined by using the Net
Cash Value less the amount of each partial surrender and partial withdrawal made
during the grace period of the premium in default as a net single premium at the
age of the Insured on the due date of the premium in default.
The Death Benefit will be equal to: the greater of the Variable Death Benefit
and the Initial Amount of the Variable Paid-Up Insurance; less any Policy Loan
Balance. The Variable Death Benefit for the first policy month after lapse is
equal to the Initial Amount. The Variable Death Benefit for each later policy
month is adjusted on the first day of that policy month. For each policy month
after the first, the Variable Death Benefit:
. Will increase if the Policy's Actual Investment Return for the Period plus
any cost of insurance adjustment is greater than the Base Investment
Return;
. Will remain the same if the Policy's Actual Investment Return for the
Period plus any cost of insurance adjustment is equal to the Base
Investment Return; and
. Will decrease if the Policy's Actual Investment Return for the Period plus
any cost of insurance adjustment is less than the Base Investment Return.
(See Actual Investment Return and Base Investment Return, Section 11.)
The amount by which the Variable Death Benefit will change each policy month is
equal to:
. The dollar amount by which the Policy's Actual Investment Return for the
Period plus any cost of insurance adjustment is greater or less than its
Base Investment Return;
DIVIDED BY
. The Net Single Premium per $1.00 of Variable Death Benefit at the age of
the Insured on the first day of the policy month.
The cost of insurance adjustment, if any, to be added to the Policy's Actual
Investment Return for the Period to compute the Variable Death Benefit is equal
to the difference between the maximum guaranteed cost of insurance and the
actual cost of insurance for the Policy.
Variable Paid-Up Insurance has Cash Values and Loan Values. The Cash Value and
Loan Value can increase or decrease on a daily basis, depending on: the
investment performance of the chosen sub-accounts; and the interest credited to
the Policy's share of the Fixed Account. (See Actual Investment Return, Section
11.)
The Cash Value of the Variable Paid-Up Insurance is equal to: the Policy's share
of the chosen sub-accounts; plus the Policy's share of the Fixed Account; plus
the amount of any assets transferred to the general account of the Company
because of Policy Loans. (See Section 13.) The amount of the Cash Value depends
on: investment performance of the chosen sub-accounts; interest credited to the
Policy's share of the Fixed Account; cost of insurance charges; transfers among
sub-accounts and the Fixed Account; and Policy Loans.
The cost of insurance is deducted from the Cash Value:
. On the last day of each policy month: and
. On the date the Policy is surrendered if it is other than the last day of
the policy month.
The cost of insurance will be deducted in the same proportion as the Cash Value
of the Policy is in the sub-accounts and the Fixed Account.
The cost of insurance depends on the cost of insurance rate at the time of the
deduction and on the difference between the Variable Death Benefit and the Cash
Value on the last day of the month. The cost is pro rated in the event of
surrender during a policy month. (See Cost of Insurance Rates, Section 11.)
If a Policy Loan Balance exists and the Net Cash Value is not enough to cover
the cost of insurance, the difference will be treated in the same manner as an
excess Policy Loan. (See Section 13.)
The Loan Value of the Variable Paid-Up Insurance is described in Section 13.
10. Reinstatement After Lapse
Reinstatement
The Policy and riders can be reinstated at any time. (See Limitations on
Reinstatement below.)
Reinstatement will be subject to:
. Application to reinstate; and
. Proof that the Insured is then insurable if reinstatement is applied for
more than 31 days after the end of the grace period of the premium in
default; and
. Payment, while the Insured is living, of the cost to reinstate; and
. Payment or reinstatement of any Policy Loan Balance on the due date of the
premium in default, plus interest that would have accrued if the Policy had
not lapsed; and
. Payment or reinstatement of each partial surrender and partial withdrawal
made during the grace period of the premium in default.
The cost to reinstate is the greater of: (a) each unpaid premium plus interest
at the rate of 5% per year compounded yearly; and (b) 110% of any increase in
the Cash Value as the result of the reinstatement plus each unpaid rider premium
with interest at the rate of 5% per year compounded yearly.
If Fixed Extended Term Insurance is in force under Section 9, and there are at
least five years of the term left, proof that the Insured is insurable will not
be required to reinstate the Policy; but it may be required to reinstate riders.
If Policy Loans were made while the Policy was in force as paid-up insurance and
the Loans are not repaid, they will continue in force after the Policy is
reinstated.
Limitations on Reinstatement
The Policy and riders cannot be reinstated, except with the consent of the
Company:
. If more than seven years have passed since the due date of the premium in
default; or
. If the Policy has been surrendered for its Net Cash Value. (See Section
11.)
Any rider which provides life or disability insurance on a person other than the
Insured can be reinstated only as stated in the rider.
11. Cash Value of the Policy
Surrender of the Policy
You can surrender the Policy for its Net Cash Value at any time by notice to the
Company in writing. Upon surrender, the Policy will be cancelled. The Net Cash
Value will be paid to you in one sum, unless you choose in writing to apply all
or part of the Value to any Payment Option. (See Payment of Benefits, Section
17.)
Net Cash Value
The Net Cash Value of the Policy is equal to:
. The Cash Value of the Policy;
LESS
. Any Policy Loan Balance;
LESS
. Any Surrender Charge. (See Section 3.)
Cash Value
The Cash Value of the Policy will depend on the net investment performance of
the Money Market sub-account until the later of: 45 days after Part I of the
Application is signed; and 10 days after the Company mails the separate Notice
of Withdrawal Right. Thereafter, the Cash Value of the Policy if all premiums
due have been paid is equal to: the Policy's share of the chosen sub-accounts;
plus the Policy's share of the Fixed Account; plus the amount of any assets
transferred to the general account of the Company because of Policy Loans. (See
Section 13.) The amount of the Cash Value depends on: the frequency and amount
of net premiums; the frequency and amount of net Unscheduled Payments;
investment performance of the chosen sub-accounts; interest credited to the
Policy's share of the Fixed Account; Monthly Deductions; cost of insurance
charges; partial surrenders; partial withdrawals; the use of the Special Premium
Option; transfers among sub-accounts and the Fixed Account; and Policy Loans.
The Cash Value can increase or decrease on a daily basis, depending on: the
actual investment performance of the chosen sub-accounts; and the interest
credited to the Policy's share of the Fixed Account. (See Actual Investment
Return below.)
For 60 days after the due date of a premium in default, the Cash Value will not
be less than the Cash Value on the due date plus or less the Actual Investment
Return from the due date to the date of the calculation.
If the Policy is in force under the Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option or the Fixed
Extended Term Insurance Option: the Cash Value of the Policy on any date is
equal to the net single premium which would be required to provide the insurance
at the age of the Insured on that date; and for 31 days after each policy
anniversary, the Cash Value will not be less than on the anniversary.
The Cash Value of the Policy is not increased by the Cash
Value of any rider, unless stated in the rider.
Monthly Charges
If the Policy is not lapsed, monthly charges for the Monthly Deduction and the
cost of insurance are deducted from the Cash Value of this Policy on the first
day of each policy month for that policy month. The monthly charges will be made
whether or not premiums are paid. As long as the Cash Value less the Policy Loan
Balance is sufficient to pay the entire monthly charges, the monthly charges
will be deducted in the same proportion as the Cash Value of the Policy is in
the sub-accounts and the Fixed Account.
If a Policy Loan Balance exists and the Cash Value less the Policy Loan Balance
is not enough to cover the monthly charges, the difference will be treated in
the same manner as an excess Policy Loan. (See Section 13.)
The Monthly Deduction consists of an administrative charge and a minimum death
benefit guarantee charge. The maximum amount of the Monthly Deduction due for a
policy month is equal to 0.00009 times the Face Amount.
The monthly cost of insurance is equal to: the amount at risk; times the cost of
insurance rate for that month. The amount at risk is equal to:
. The Death Benefit on the first day of the policy month discounted at the
monthly equivalent of 4.5% per year;
LESS
. The Cash Value on the first day of the policy month after the Monthly
Deduction has been processed.
12. Death Benefit
Death Benefit
The amount of the Death Benefit will depend on the Death Benefit Option in
effect on the date of death. The amount payable will be reduced by any Policy
Loan Balance on the date of death.
Death Benefit Option
This Policy offers two Death Benefit Options. The Death Benefit Option will be
as chosen in the Application. The Death Benefit Option is shown in the Policy
Schedule.
Option 1
The Death Benefit on the date of death is equal to:
. The Face Amount shown in Section 1; or, if greater,
. The Cash Value divided by the net single premium at the attained age of the
Insured.
Option 2
The Death Benefit on the date of death is equal to:
. The Face Amount shown in Section 1 plus any excess of the Cash Value over
the Tabular Value; or, if greater,
. The Cash Value divided by the net single premium at the attained age of the
Insured.
13. Policy Loans
Policy Loans
After the Right to Return the Policy period you can borrow all or part of the
Loan Value of the Policy by written request to the Company. Policy Loans are
made on the sole security of the Policy. The amount you can borrow at any time
is equal to the Loan Value less any Policy Loan Balance at that time. Policy
Loans may be made automatically to pay premiums. (See Option for Automatic
Premium Payment. Section 5.) Unless you request otherwise, Policy Loans will
reduce first, the Policy's share of the sub-accounts proportionately and
second, the Policy's share of the Fixed Account, except as noted below in the
Interest on Loans; Policy Loan Balance provision. Assets equal to the amount of
the Loan:
Will be transferred to the general account of the Company; and
. Will earn interest at the effective rate per year of not less than: the
Policy Loan interest rate; less 1.5%.
Policy Loans, whether or not repaid, can have a permanent effect on Cash Values
and Death Benefits.
Loan Value
Unless the Policy is lapsed for Fixed Paid-Up Insurance or Fixed Extended Term
Insurance, the Loan Value of the Policy is the amount which with loan interest
will equal: 90% of the Cash Value of the Policy projected to the next policy
anniversary or, if earlier, to the next premium due date, less the Surrender
Charge on the next loan interest due date or, if greater, on the date the loan
is made. The Cash Value
will be projected with interest at the effective rate per year of 1.5% less than
the Policy Loan interest rate.
If the Policy is in force under the Fixed Paid-Up Insurance Option, the Loan
Value is the amount which with loan interest will equal the Cash Value of the
Policy on the next loan interest due date. The Policy has no Loan Value while it
is in force as Fixed Extended Term Insurance. (See Section 9.)
Cost of Insurance Rates
The cost of insurance rates for each policy month are based on: the sex of the
Insured; the class of the Policy; and the age of the Insured on the first day of
the policy year. The rates will be set by the Company each year on the policy
anniversary, based on the expectations of the Company as to future experience
with regard to investment earnings, mortality, expenses and lapse rates. The
rates are guaranteed for one year. The rates are guaranteed not to be greater
than those based on the mortality table for the Policy. (See Basis of Values.)
Monthly cost of Insurance Adjustment At Surrender
The pro rata portion of any monthly cost of insurance deduction made for a
period beyond the date of surrender will be added to the surrender proceeds.
Base Investment Return
The Policy has a Base Investment Return for each Valuation Period for its share
of each chosen sub-account and of the Fixed Account. The Policy's Base
Investment Return is the amount which would be earned by the Policy's share if
each sub-account had investment performance and the Fixed Account had interest
credited at a rate equivalent to an annual effective rate of 4.5% per year. The
Base Investment Return is used in the determination of: the Tabular Value; and
the Variable Death Benefit under the Variable Paid-Up Insurance Option.
Actual Investment Return
The Policy has an Actual Investment Return for each Valuation Period for its
share of each chosen sub-account and of the Fixed Account. The Policy's Actual
Investment Return for each sub-account for each Valuation Period is equal to (a)
minus (b); where:
. (a) is equal to the Policy's share of the sub-account as of the end of the
Valuation Period;
PLUS
the monthly charges deducted in the Valuation Period;
LESS
any net premium and net Unscheduled Payment credited during the Valuation
Period;
PLUS
the total of the partial surrenders and partial withdrawals made during the
Valuation Period;
PLUS
the interest credited during the Valuation Period to any borrowed portion
of the Policy's Cash Value;
PLUS or LESS
a charge or credit for the Policy's share of any reserve for taxes which
the Company determines to apply to the sub-account; and
. (b) is equal to the Policy's share of the subaccount as of the end of the
most recent Valuation Period:
PLUS or LESS
a charge or credit for the Policy's share of any reserve for taxes which
the Company determines to apply to the sub-account.
The Actual Investment Return for the Fixed Account for each Valuation Period is
equal to (a) minus (b); where:
. (a) is equal to the Policy's share of the Fixed Account as of the end of
the Valuation Period;
PLUS
the monthly charges deducted in the Valuation Period;
LESS
any net premium and net Unscheduled Payment credited during the Valuation
Period;
PLUS
the total of the partial surrenders and partial withdrawals made during the
Valuation Period;
PLUS
the interest credited during the Valuation Period to any borrowed portion
of the Policy's Cash Value; and
. (b) is equal to the Policy's share of the Fixed Account as of the end of
the most recent Valuation
Period.
There is a daily charge for mortality risk and expense risk against the Policy's
share of the sub-accounts. This charge will not be greater than: a rate
equivalent to .90% per year; or, if less, the rate allowed by federal securities
law.
Valuation Periods and Valuation Dates
A Valuation Period for each sub-account is a period:
. Which starts on a Valuation Date; and
. Which ends on the next succeeding Valuation Date.
Each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading is a Valuation Date.
Interest on Loans; Policy Loan Balance
Policy Loans bear interest as shown in Section 1. Interest accrues daily. The
Policy Loan Balance at any time means Policy Loans outstanding plus interest
accrued to date. Loan interest is due on the annual premium anniversary date
each year. Loan interest not paid when due will be added to the Loan and will
bear interest; when loan interest is added to the Loan, the Policy's share of
the sub-accounts and of the Fixed Account will be reduced proportionately.
Repayment of Loans
Policy Loans may be repaid to the Company at any time in whole or in part. Loan
repayments will be allocated: first, to repay the Loans made against the Fixed
Account; and second, unless you request otherwise, to repay the Loans made
against the sub-accounts in the same proportion as the Policy is invested in the
sub-accounts. A Policy Xxxx is a charge against the Policy. The proceeds of the
Policy will be reduced by any Policy Loan Balance on the date of death of the
Insured. If the Policy Loan Balance at any time exceeds the Cash Value of the
Policy less the Surrender Charge on the next loan interest due date or, if
greater, on the current Valuation Date (called "excess Policy loan"), the
Company will mail a notice to you and to any assignee. The notice will be mailed
to the addresses on record with the Company. If the excess amount is not paid to
the Company within 31 days after mailing of the notice, the Policy will lapse
without value.
14. Exchange of Policy
Exchange of Policy
Within 24 months after its Date of Issue, you can exchange this Policy, if all
premiums due have been paid, for a policy which provides fixed benefit
insurance. The new policy will be issued:
. By New England Mutual Life Insurance Company;
. On any plan of Whole Life or Endowment insurance with a level face amount
issued by New England Mutual Life Insurance Company on the Policy Date;
. With the same Insured, Age, Policy Date, Face Amount and underwriting class
as this Policy;
. Subject to any cost or credit and the repayment of any Policy Loan Balance;
and
. Subject to any assignments of this Policy, and limitations on this Policy
stated in riders.
Riders which provide benefits that are the same as those provided by riders on
this Policy will be attached to the new policy, if they are available.
Change Cost or Credit
Any change cost or credit will be quoted by the Company on request.
A detailed statement of the method of computing the change cost or credit has
been filed with the Insurance Department of the state in which the Policy is
delivered.
15. Policy Changes
Decrease in Face Amount
The Face Amount may be decreased by written request to the Company, if the
Company consents. No portion of the Cash Value will be paid to you. A Surrender
Charge will apply to a decrease in Face Amount. A decrease in Face Amount will
result in a decrease in premiums and Tabular Values. The Cash Value after the
decrease in Face Amount will be equal to: the Cash Value just prior to the
decrease; less any Surrender Charge for the decrease. The Death Benefit will be
recalculated based on the new Face Amount and the Cash Value after the decrease.
A decrease in Face Amount may require a decrease in the amounts provided by
riders attached to this Policy.
Partial Withdrawal and Partial Surrender
The total number of partial surrenders and partial withdrawals will be limited
to 4 in each policy year, except with the consent of the Company.
If Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect, you can make a partial withdrawal if the
Death Benefit is greater than the Face Amount of the Policy. If there is no
Policy Loan Balance, the partial withdrawal is limited to: the Cash Value; less
the Face Amount times the net single premium at the Insured's attained age. If
there is a Policy Loan Balance, the amount of the partial withdrawal will be
further limited to prevent the Policy Loan Balance from exceeding the Loan Value
of the Policy.
If Death Benefit Option 2 is in effect, you can make a partial withdrawal. If
there is no Policy Loan Balance, the partial withdrawal is limited to the Cash
Value less the Tabular Value. (See Section 2.) If there is a Policy Loan
Balance, the amount of the partial withdrawal will be further limited to prevent
the Policy Loan Balance from exceeding the Loan Value of the Policy.
A partial withdrawal will result in a decrease in Death Benefit and Cash Value.
The Face Amount and Surrender Charge will not change. A partial withdrawal made
before the Premium Recalculation Date will affect the amount of the premium
calculated on that Date. (See Section 5.) Otherwise, the premium will not change
as a result of the partial withdrawal.
Unless you request otherwise, a partial withdrawal will reduce: first, the
Policy's share of the sub-accounts proportionately; and second, the Policy's
share of the Fixed Account.
You also can make a partial surrender. A portion of the Cash Value will be paid
to you. A Surrender Charge will be applied if you make a partial surrender. (See
Section 3.) A partial surrender will result in a decrease in Cash Value,
premiums, Face Amount, Death Benefit and Tabular Value. The Face Amount which
will remain after the partial surrender must not be less than the Company's
published minimum, except with the consent of the Company.
Unless you request otherwise, a partial surrender will reduce: first, the
Policy's share of the sub-accounts proportionately; and second, the Policy's
share of the Fixed Account.
The Company will subtract the amount of each partial withdrawal and partial
surrender taken during the grace period of a premium in default from the Net
Cash Value used to determine the value of the Policy at lapse.
16. Owner and Beneficiary
Owner
The Owner of the Policy is named in the Application (see copy attached); but the
Owner can be changed. The new Owner will succeed to all rights of the Owner,
including the right to make a further change of Owner. At the death of the
Owner, his or her estate will be the Owner, unless a successor Owner has been
named. In this Policy "you" means the Owner, whether the Owner is a person, a
partnership, a corporation, a fiduciary or any other legal entity. The rights of
the Owner will terminate at the death of the Insured, except for Payment of
Benefits. (See Section 17.)
Beneficiary
The Beneficiary is named in the Application (see copy attached); but the
Beneficiary can be changed before the death of the Insured. The Beneficiary has
no rights in the Policy until the death of the Insured. A person must survive
the Insured to qualify as Beneficiary. If none survives, the proceeds will be
paid to the Owner. The Beneficiary can also be a corporation, a partnership, a
fiduciary or any other legal entity.
Change of Owner or Beneficiary
A change of Owner or Beneficiary must be in written form satisfactory to the
Company, and must be dated and signed by the Owner who is making the change. The
change will be subject to all payments made and actions taken by the Company
under the Policy before the signed change form is received by the Company at its
Administrative Office.
Assignments
An absolute assignment of the Policy by the Owner is a change of Owner and
Beneficiary to the assignee. A collateral assignment of the Policy by the Owner
is not a change of Owner or Beneficiary; but their rights will be subject to the
terms of the assignment. Assignments will be subject to all payments made and
actions taken by the Company before a signed copy of the assignment form is
received by the Company at its Administrative Office. The Company will not be
responsible for determining whether or not an assignment is valid.
Designation of Owner and Beneficiary
A numbered sequence can be used to name successive Owners or Beneficiaries. Co-
Beneficiaries will receive equal shares unless otherwise stated.
In naming Owners or Beneficiaries, unless otherwise stated:
. "Child" includes an adopted or posthumous child;
. "Provision for issue" means that if a Beneficiary does not survive the
Insured, the share of that Beneficiary will be taken by his or her living
issue by right of representation; and
. A family relation such as "wife", "husband" or "child" means the relation
to the Insured.
At the time for payment of benefits the Company can rely on an affidavit of any
Owner or other responsible person to determine family relations or members of a
class.
17. Payment of Benefits
Payment
The policy proceeds will be paid in one sum, unless all or part of the proceeds
are applied to a Payment Option. (See Section 18.) The Company will pay interest
on the proceeds from the date they become payable to the date of payment in one
sum, or to the Option Date. The rate of interest will be set each year by the
Company; but the rate on death and maturity proceeds will not be less than that
required by law and the rate on other proceeds will not be less than 3 1/2% per
year. The interest payable on surrender proceeds is described in Section 4.
Choice of Payment Options; Option Date
The choice of a Payment Option and the naming of the Payee must be in written
form satisfactory to the Company. You can make or change or revoke the choice
before the death of the Insured. The Option Date is the effective date of the
Payment Option, as stated in the form on which you made your choice.
Payee
A Payee is a person, a corporation, a partnership, a fiduciary or any other
legal entity entitled to receive payment in one sum or under a Payment Option.
Choices By Payees
Any proceeds payable in one sum at the death of the Insured or upon surrender of
the Policy, can be applied to any Payment Option chosen by the Payee. Further,
subject to the consent of the Company, any Payee who is entitled to receive
proceeds in one sum when a Payment Option ends, or at the death of a prior
Payee, or when proceeds are withdrawn can choose to apply the proceeds to a
Payment Option.
Rights of Payees
The Payee under a Payment Option can be given the right:
. To withdraw principal and interest under the Fourth or Fifth Option; or
. To withdraw the commuted value of payments certain under the First, Second
or Sixth Option.
Under the Life Income Options only payments certain can be commuted. No Payee
has the right to assign, commute or withdraw the payments under any Payment
Option, unless the right is reserved to the Payee.
Limitations
If instalments under an Option would be less than $20, proceeds can be applied
to a Payment Option only with the consent of the Company.
Life Income Options
Life Income Options are based on the age of the Payee on the Payee's birthday
nearest the Option Date. The Company will require proof of age. The Life Income
payments will be based: on the rates shown in the Life Income Tables (Section
19); or, if they are greater, on the Payment Option rates of the Company on the
Option Date. If the rates at a given age are the same for different periods
certain, the longest period certain will be used.
Purchase of Increased Life Income Benefits
On the Option Date, a one sum purchase payment can be made to the Company to be
added to the proceeds being applied to any Payment Option. The portion of Life
Income payments purchased in this way will be based on the Payment Option rates
of the Company on the Option Date, which may not be the rates shown in the Life
Income Tables (Section 19). The purchase payment will be limited to the
Company's published maximum for single premium immediate annuities on the Option
Date. A portion of the purchase payment may be used by the Company to pay
premium taxes on the purchase payment.
Death of Payee
If a Payee under a Life Income Option dies within 30 days after the Option Date,
the amount applied to the Option, less any payments made, will be paid in one
sum, unless a Payment Option is chosen by the successor payee. Otherwise,
amounts to be paid after the death of a Payee under a Payment Option will be
paid as due to the successor Xxxxx. If there is no successor Xxxxx, amounts to
be paid in one sum, or the commuted value of any unpaid payments certain, will
be paid in one sum to the estate of the last Payee to die.
Commutation Rate
The interest rate used to compute the commuted value of any unpaid payments
certain:
. Under the First Option will be 3 1/2% per year; and
. Under the Life Income Options will be the rate used by the Company in
computing the amount of the monthly payments.
18. Payment Options
Payment Options
All or any part of the policy proceeds can be applied to any one of the
following Options, subject to Section 17, Payment of Benefits:
First Option: Income for a Specified Number of Years
The Company will make equal monthly payments which will include both principal
and interest. Payments will start on the Option Date and will continue for the
number of years chosen. The number of years chosen cannot be more than 30.
Interest is at the rate of 3 1/2% per year compounded yearly. Additional
interest paid by the Company for any year will be added to the monthly payments
for that year.
Guaranteed monthly payments per $1,000 of proceeds applied to the First Option
are shown below.
