The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider Death Benefit is the difference between
the Target Death Benefit and the Base Death Benefit provided by the Policy.
In no event will the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider Death Benefit be less
than zero. Refer to your Adjustable Term Insurance Rider for more
information.
The guaranteed rates shown FOR THE ADJUSTABLE TERM INSURANCE RIDER are for a
standard rate class. If the Adjustable Term Rider is based on a substandard
rate class (other than standard), the guaranteed rates will be adjusted using
the rating factor shown in the Schedule for the substandard class. If the
substandard rate class is a stated percentage increase, the guaranteed rates
will be determined by multiplying the rates for a standard rate class shown
above by the rating factor shown in the Schedule. If the substandard rate
class is a flat amount per $1,000, the guaranteed rates will be determined by
adding the flat amount per $1,000 shown in the Schedule to the rate per
$1,000 for the standard rate class shown above. The rates shown above are
based on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age
nearest birthday.

The rates shown are for a standard rate class. If the Policy is based on a
substandard rate class (other than Smoker or Non Smoker), the maximum cost of
insurance rates will be adjusted using the rating factor shown in the Schedule
for the substandard class. If the substandard rate class is a stated percentage
increase, the maximum cost of insurance rates will be determined by multiplying
the rates for a standard rate class shown above by the rating factor shown in
the Schedule. If the substandard rate class is a flat amount per $1,000, the
maximum cost of insurance rates will be determined by adding the flat amount per
$1,000 shown in the Schedule to the rate per $1,000 for the standard rate class
shown above. The rates shown above are based on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard
Ordinary Non Smoker Mortality Table, age nearest birthday.

INSURANCE COVERAGE PROVISIONS
INITIAL PREMIUM ALLOCATION
We will not allocate funds to your Policy until we receive at least one quarter
of the Minimum Annual Premium. The Minimum Annual Premium is listed in the
Schedule. The Valuation Date on which we receive this amount and have approved
your Policy for issue is the Investment Date. As of the Investment Date, the
amount you have asked to be invested in the Divisions of the Variable Account
will be allocated to the Fidelity Investments Money Market Division. Any amount
you have designated for allocation to the Guaranteed Interest Division will be
allocated to that Division. The amount allocated to the Fidelity Investments
Money Market Division will remain there until the end of the Right to Examine
Policy Period, at which time the balance will be transferred to the other
Divisions of the Variable Account according to the allocations shown in the
Schedule.
VALUATION DATE
A Valuation Date is any day:
a) The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading and on which
Security Life's Customer Service Center is open for business; or
b) As may be required by law.
VALUATION PERIOD
A Valuation Period begins at 4 p.m. Eastern time on a Valuation Date and ends at
4 p.m. Eastern time on the next succeeding Valuation Date.
All Policy processing for a Valuation Period takes place as of the end of the
Valuation Period.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE
The Policy date shown in the Schedule is the Effective Date for all coverage
provided in the original application. The Effective Date is subject to the
payment of at least one quarter of the Minimum Annual Premium and the acceptance
of the Policy by you during the continued insurability of all persons insured by
this Policy and any riders attached. The Policy date is the date from which we
measure Policy years and determine the Monthly Processing Date. The first
Monthly Processing Date is the Investment Date. Future Monthly Processing Dates
are the same calendar day of each month as the Policy date unless this is not a
Valuation Date in which case the Monthly Processing Date occurs on the next
Valuation Date. A Policy anniversary occurs each year on the same month and day
as the Policy date unless this is not a Valuation Date in which case the Policy
anniversary occurs on the next Valuation Date. If the Policy date is February
29th, the Policy anniversary will be February 28th in years in which there is
not a February 29th. The Effective Date for increases and additional benefits
is shown in the Schedule.
Form 1195 (VUL)
Page 7
PAYOUT OF PROCEEDS
The Payout of Proceeds is the amount we will pay:
a) as of the Maturity Date, upon surrender of the Policy before the
Maturity Date, or
b) upon the death of the Insured before the Maturity Date.
The Payout of Proceeds as of the Maturity Date will be your Net Account Value.
The Payout of Proceeds upon surrender of this Policy prior to the Maturity Date
will be the net Cash Surrender Value. The Maturity Date is the Policy
anniversary on which the Insured's Age is 100. The Insured's Age is the Age
listed in the Schedule increased by the number of completed Policy years since
the Policy date. The Payout of Proceeds upon the death of the Insured will be
the Base Death Benefit; plus any amounts payable from any additional benefits
provided by rider; minus any outstanding Policy Loan including accrued but
unpaid interest; minus any unpaid monthly deductions incurred prior to the date
of death.
We will determine the amount of proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured
when we have received due proof of death and any other information which is
necessary to process the claim. Any proceeds we pay are subject to adjustments
as provided in the Misstatement of Age or Sex, Suicide Exclusion and
Incontestability provisions.
We will pay Proceeds in one sum unless you request an alternate form of payment.
There are many possible methods of payment. The available Payout Options are
described in the Payouts Other Than As One Sum provision. Contact us or your
agent for additional information. Interest will be paid on the one sum death
Proceeds from the date of the death to the date of payment, or until a Payout
Option is selected. Interest will be at the rate we declare, or at any higher
rate required by law.
BASE DEATH BENEFIT
The total Stated Death Benefit is the sum of the Stated Death Benefit for all
coverage segments. The Stated Death Benefit for each coverage segment and the
death benefit option are shown in the Schedule. The Base Death Benefit is
determined by the death benefit option which you select as follows:
Option 1 The Base Death Benefit equals the total Stated Death Benefit.
Option 2 The Base Death Benefit equals the total Stated Death Benefit,
plus your Account Value.
Option 3 The Base Death Benefit equals the total Stated Death Benefit,
plus the sum of Premiums paid minus Partial Withdrawals taken.
The Base Death Benefit at any time will be at least equal to your Account Value
multiplied by the appropriate factor from the Definition of Life Insurance
Factors table as shown in the Schedule.
This Policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the Policy shall be
construed in a manner consistent with that design. The amount of insurance in
force at any time shall not be less than the amount of insurance necessary to
achieve such qualification under the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code in existence at the time the Policy is issued. We reserve the
right to amend the Policy or adjust the amount of insurance when required, to
maintain this Policy's qualification as Life Insurance under the Internal
Revenue Code. We will send you a copy of any Policy amendment.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 8
CHANGE IN REQUESTED INSURANCE COVERAGE
At least 30 days prior to a Policy Anniversary, you may request that the
insurance coverage be increased or decreased. You may not increase coverage
after the Insured is Age 86. You may change the coverage only once each Policy
year on the Policy anniversary. The change in coverage may not be for an amount
less than $1,000. The Effective Date of the change will be the Policy
anniversary next following the date the written application is approved by us.
After any change to the Stated Death Benefit, you will receive a new Schedule
which will include the Stated Death Benefit, the benefit under any riders, if
applicable, the Guaranteed Cost of Insurance rates, the Guideline Annual
Premium, and the new Target Premium.
REQUESTED INCREASES IN COVERAGE
At least 30 days prior to a Policy anniversary, you may request an increase in
the Stated Death Benefit. An increase will become effective as of the Policy
anniversary after we have approved your application for increase. You must
provide evidence satisfactory to us that the Insured is insurable according to
our normal rules of underwriting for this type of Policy. This evidence will
include an application and may include required medical information.
You will have the right to cancel an increase in the death benefit within the
later of:
a) 45 days after you sign the application for the increase,
b) 20 days after you have received the new Schedule, or
c) 10 days after we mail you the Notice of Withdrawal Right.
You may cancel an increase by sending notice in a form acceptable to us to our
Customer Service Center. During this period, we will allocate the Premiums you
pay related to the increase to the [Fidelity Investments Money Market Division]
of the Variable Account. At the end of this period, the amount of the Premium
remaining in the [Fidelity Investments Money Market Division] will be
transferred to the Division of the Variable Account according to your most
recent written allocation instruction. If you cancel an increase we will refund
to you any charges attributable to the increase.
An increase in the Stated Death Benefit will result in a new Sales Load. Premium
allocated to an increase in coverage will be subject to a new Sales Load.
REQUESTED DECREASES IN COVERAGE
At least 30 days prior to a Policy anniversary, you may request a decrease in
the Stated Death Benefit. A decrease will be effective as of the Policy
anniversary. You may decrease the Stated Death Benefit if the Effective Date of
the decrease will occur after the later of 2 years from the Policy date or 2
years after the most recent one was made. A requested decrease will reduce each
of the Stated Death Benefit segments in the same proportion as the total Stated
Death Benefit is reduced.
The sum of the Stated Death Benefit for all coverage segments after any change
may not be less than the minimum Stated Death Benefit shown in the Schedule.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 9
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGES
At least 30 days prior to a Policy anniversary, you may request a change to the
death benefit option. This change will be effective as of the Policy
anniversary. A death benefit option change applies to the entire Stated Death
Benefit. For us to approve a change to the death benefit option from Option 1
to Option 2, or from Option 1 to Option 3, you must submit evidence to us that
the Insured is insurable according to our normal rules of underwriting for that
class of policy. We will not reduce the Stated Death Benefit below the minimum
Stated Death Benefit shown in the Schedule. After the Effective Date of the
change, the Stated Death Benefit will be changed according to the following
table:
OPTION CHANGE
FROM TO STATED DEATH BENEFIT FOLLOWING CHANGE EQUALS:
Option 1 Option 2 Stated Death Benefit prior to such change minus
your Account Value as of the Effective Date of
the change.
Option 2 Option 1 Stated Death Benefit prior to such change plus
your Account Value as of the Effective Date of
the change.
Option 1 Option 3 Stated Death Benefit prior to such change minus
the sum of the Premiums paid minus Partial
Withdrawals taken as of the Effective Date of
the change.
Option 3 Option 1 Stated Death Benefit prior to such change plus
the sum of the Premiums paid minus Partial
Withdrawals taken as of the Effective Date of
the change.
Option 2 Option 3 Stated Death Benefit prior to such change plus
i) your Account Value as of the Effective Date
of the change, minus ii) the sum of the
Premiums paid minus Partial Withdrawals taken
as of the Effective Date of the change.
Option 3 Option 2 Stated Death Benefit prior to such change plus
i) the sum of the Premiums paid minus Partial
Withdrawals taken as of the Effective Date of
the change, minus ii) your Account Value as of
the Effective Date of the change.
For purposes of death benefit option changes, your Account Value will be
allocated to each coverage segment in the same proportion that the Stated Death
Benefit of that segment bears to the sum of all Stated Death Benefit segments as
of the Effective Date of change.
PREMIUM PROVISIONS
SCHEDULED PREMIUMS
The Scheduled Premium as shown in the Schedule may be paid while this Policy is
in force during the Insured's lifetime. You may increase or decrease the amount
of the Scheduled Premium, as long as any decrease does not reduce the Scheduled
premium below the monthly deduction and any increase does not exceed the
Guideline Annual Premium, subject to limits we may set and provisions in the
Premium Limitation Section. Under conditions provided in the Grace Period
provision and the Three Year Continuation Period, you may be required to make
Premium payments to keep the Policy in force.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 10
We will send reminder notices to you for the Scheduled Premium amount and
frequency that you have selected. You may select to receive notices either
annually, semiannually or quarterly. You may also arrange for payments of
Premiums on a monthly basis through an authorized special payment facility. All
payment modes are subject to our minimum requirements for the payment mode
selected.
UNSCHEDULED PREMIUMS
You may make unscheduled Premium payments at any time the Policy is in force
during the Insured's lifetime, subject to the Premium Limitation section. The
unscheduled Premium payment must be at least $100. Unless you tell us otherwise,
these Premium payments will first be applied to reduce or pay off any existing
Policy Loan and, as such, Premium Expense Charges will not be deducted. We may
limit the amount of such unscheduled Premium payments if the payment would
result in an increase in the Base Death Benefit caused by the Definition of Life
Insurance test used to qualify your Policy as life insurance policy under the
Internal Revenue Code. If the net amount at risk is increased as a result of an
unscheduled Premium, we will require evidence of insurability satisfactory to us
that the Insured is insurable according to our normal rules of underwriting for
this type of Policy. The net amount at risk is the difference between the Base
Death Benefit and your Account Value.
PREMIUM LIMITATION
We will not accept any Premium that causes your Policy not to qualify as a life
insurance policy under the Internal Revenue Code.
PREMIUM ALLOCATION
During the Right to Examine Policy Period, the portion of your Net Premium which
you have elected to invest in a Division of the Variable Account will be
invested in the Fidelity Investments Money Market Division. After the Right to
Examine Policy Period, the balance of your funds in the Fidelity Investments
Money Market Division will be reallocated as you directed in your Premium
allocation shown in the Schedule.
After the Right to Examine Policy Period, each Net Premium will be allocated to
the Divisions of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest Division as
you directed in the application or as otherwise requested. You may change the
allocation for subsequent Premiums by sending us written notice at our Customer
Service Center. If you change your Premium allocation more than 5 times per
Policy year, we will deduct a charge from the Divisions of the Variable Account
and the Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion that your Account
Value of each Division bears to your Net Account Value. The amount of this
charge is shown in the Schedule. Premium allocation percentages may be in any
whole number from 1% to 100% provided that at least $100 is allocated to each
Division selected.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
The Variable Account is an account established by us, pursuant to the laws of
the State of Colorado, to separate the assets funding the benefits for the class
of policies to which this Policy belongs from the other assets of Security Life
of Denver Insurance Company.
The Variable Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. All income, gains and losses, whether or not
realized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account are credited to or
charged against the Variable Account without regard to income, gains or losses
of our General Account. The assets of the Variable Account are our property but
are separate from our General Account and our other
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 11
Variable Accounts. That portion of the assets of the Variable Account which is
equal to the reserves and other Policy liabilities with respect to the Variable
Account is not subject to creditor claims against us. The assets of the Variable
Account shall be available to cover the liabilities of the General Account only
to the extent that the assets of the Variable Account exceed the liabilities of
the Variable Account under this variable life policy. The assets of the Variable
Account shall be valued at least as often as any policy benefits vary, but at
least monthly.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT DIVISIONS
The Variable Account is divided into Divisions, each of which invests in a
series fund Portfolio designed to meet the objectives of the Division. The
current eligible Divisions are shown in the Schedule. We may, from time to time,
add additional Divisions. If we do, you may be permitted to select from these
other Divisions subject to the terms and conditions we may impose on those
allocations.
CHANGES WITHIN THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
When permitted by law, and subject to any required notice to you and approval of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC."), state regulatory authorities or
Policy Owners, we may from time to time make the following changes to the
Variable Account:
. Make additional Divisions available. These Divisions will invest in
investment Portfolios we find suitable for the Policy.
. Eliminate Divisions from the Variable Account, combine 2 or more
Divisions, or substitute a new Portfolio for the Portfolio in which a
Division invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our
judgment, a Portfolio no longer suits the purposes of the Policy. This
may happen due to a change in laws or regulations, or a change in a
Portfolio's investment objectives or restrictions. This may also
happen if the Portfolio is no longer available for investment, or for
some other reason, such as a declining asset base.
. Transfer assets of the Variable Account , which we determine to be
associated with the class of policies to which your Policy belongs, to
another Variable Account.
. Withdraw the Variable Account from registration or make changes as
required under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
. Operate the Variable Account as a management investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.
. Cause one or more Divisions to invest in a mutual fund other than or
in addition to the Portfolios.
GENERAL ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
The General Account holds all of our assets other than those held in the
Variable Account or our other separate accounts. The Guaranteed Interest
Division is a part of our General Account.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 12
GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
The Guaranteed Interest Division is another Division to which you may allocate
Premiums or make transfers. The Account Value of the Guaranteed Interest
Division is equal to the Net Premium allocated to this Division plus any earned
interest minus deductions taken from this Division. Interest is credited at the
guaranteed rate shown in the schedule or may be credited at a higher rate. Any
higher rate is guaranteed to be in effect for at least 12 months.
LOAN DIVISION
The Loan Division is the account which is set aside to secure the Policy Loan,
if any. See the Loan Provision section for information.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
After the Right to Examine Policy Period, your Account Value in each Division
may be transferred to any other Division of the Variable Account upon written
request. Transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Division are subject to the
limitations as described in the Transfer To or From The Guaranteed Interest
Division provision. The number of free transfers permitted in any one Policy
year without an Excess Transfer Charge, the total number of transfers permitted
and the Excess Transfer Charge are shown in the table below. Any transfers made
due to the operation of the Automatic Rebalancing Feature or Dollar Cost
Averaging will not count toward the transfers allowed free of charge. The
minimum amount that may be transferred from each Division is the lesser of $100
or the balance of a Division.
The following table summarizes the number of transfers available and the
associated charges during any Policy year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free Transfers 12
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Number of Transfers Permitted Unlimited
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excess Transfer Charge $25 for each transfer in excess of 12 during
any Policy year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS TO OR FROM THE GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
Once during the first 30 days of each Policy year, you may transfer amounts from
the Guaranteed Interest Division. Transfer requests received within 30 days
prior to the Policy anniversary will be deemed to occur as of the Policy
anniversary. Transfer requests received on the Policy anniversary or within the
following 30 days will be processed; transfer requests received at any other
time will not be processed. Transfers of your Account Value to the Guaranteed
Interest Division are not limited to this 30-day period.
The maximum transfer amount from the Guaranteed Interest Division in any Policy
year is the greatest of:
a) 25% of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Interest Division at the
time of the first transfer or withdrawal in a Policy year;
b) The minimum transfer amount; or
c) The sum of the amounts transferred and withdrawn from the Guaranteed
Interest Division in the prior Policy year.
For purposes of calculating the maximum transfer from the Guaranteed
Interest Division, all Partial Withdrawals and transfers from the
guaranteed Interest Division in a Policy year are summed.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 13
EXCESS TRANSFER CHARGE
If you exceed the number of free transfers allowed, you will be assessed an
Excess Transfer Charge. This charge will be deducted from each of the Divisions
in which you are invested in the same proportion that the amount of Account
Value in that Division bears to the Net Account Value immediately after the
transfer.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
If you have at least $10,000 of Account Value in either the Fidelity Investments
Money Market Division or the Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx Limited Maturity Bond Division,
you may choose to transfer a specified dollar amount each month from one of
these Divisions to other Divisions of the Variable Account. Dollar Cost
Averaging transfers may not be made to the Guaranteed Interest Division.
The minimum amount that you may elect to transfer each month is $100. The
maximum amount that you may transfer is equal to your Account Value in the
Division from which the transfer is taken when the election is made, divided by
12.
Dollar Cost Averaging may be elected to end on a specified date or when a
specific balance remains in the Fidelity Investments Money Market Division or
the Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx Limited Maturity Bond Division.
Percentage allocations of the transfer amount must be designated as whole number
percentages; no specific dollar designation may be made to the Divisions of the
Variable Account. If you elect to transfer to a particular Division, the
minimum percentage that may be transferred to that Division is 1% of the total
amount transferred provided that the minimum allocation is at least $100. The
transfer date will be the same calendar day each month as the Monthly Processing
Date. If this calendar day is not a Valuation Date, the next Valuation Date
will be used. If, on any transfer date, your Account Value in the chosen
Division is equal to or less than the amount you have elected to have
transferred, the entire amount will be transferred, and this option will end.
Dollar Cost Averaging may not begin until the Monthly Processing Date following
the end of the Right to Examine Policy Period.
You may change the transfer amount or the Divisions to which transfers are to be
made once each Policy year. You may cancel this election by sending us written
notice at our Customer Service Center at least 7 days before the next transfer
date. Any transfer under this option will not be included for purposes of the
Excess Transfer Charge.
If you elect both Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Rebalancing, Dollar Cost
Averaging will occur first. On the first Valuation Date of the next calendar
quarter after Dollar Cost Averaging has terminated, Automatic Rebalancing will
begin.
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
Automatic Rebalancing allows you to match your Account Value in each Division to
your allocation percentage for new Premiums. Automatic Rebalancing can be
elected in your application or by completing the Automatic Rebalancing form and
returning it to our Customer Service Center. As of the first Valuation Date of
each calendar quarter thereafter we will reallocate your Net Account Value so
that the amount in each Division matches your Premium allocation. Automatic
Rebalancing may not begin until the monthly processing date following the end of
the Right to Examine Policy Period.
While this feature is in effect, we require that you allocate no more than 35%
of your Premiums to any one Division, and you must allocate your Premiums to at
least 5 Divisions. If at any time during the operation of the Automatic
Rebalancing feature you request a change in Premium
Form 1195 (VUL)
Page 14
allocation which does not meet these requirements, we will notify you that your
allocation must be changed. We will not process such a request unless you also
request that the Automatic Rebalancing feature be discontinued.
When you request a change in Premium allocation that meets these requirements,
your Net Account Value will be reallocated as of the Valuation Date that we
receive your written allocation instructions. Amounts will be transferred among
the Divisions to match the allocation for new Premiums.
During the operation of Automatic Rebalancing, you may not change your
allocation percentage to the Guaranteed Interest Division by more than 25% of
the percentage previously allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division.
If you change your Premium allocation more than five times per Policy year,
there will be a $25 charge taken from your Account Value. This charge will be
deducted from each of the Divisions of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed
Interest Division in the same proportion that your Account Value of each
Division bears to your Net Account Value as of the Valuation Date the allocation
change is effective.
Any transfer as a result of the operation of Automatic Rebalancing will not be
included in determining if the Excess Transfer Charge will apply. You may not
transfer among Divisions while the Automatic Rebalancing feature is in effect.
If you elect both Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Rebalancing, Dollar Cost
Averaging will occur first. On the first Valuation Date of the next calendar
quarter after Dollar Cost Averaging has terminated, Automatic Rebalancing will
begin.
ACCOUNT VALUE PROVISIONS
The Account Value is the sum of the current amounts allocated to the Divisions
of the Variable Account and to the Guaranteed Interest Division plus your
balance in the Loan Division.
The Account Value is based on the amount and number of Premiums paid, Policy and
rider charges assessed, loans and withdrawals taken, monthly deductions, Premium
Expense Charges, transaction charges, and the investment experience or credited
interest of the Division to which your Account Value is allocated.
Your Net Account Value is equal to your Account Value minus any Policy Loan and
accrued but unpaid loan interest.
NET PREMIUM
The Net Premium equals the Premium paid minus the Premium Expense Charges for
taxes and the appropriate Sales Load shown in the Schedule. Premiums allocated
to an increase in coverage will be subject to a new Sales Load. Premiums are
allocated in the same proportion that the Guideline Annual Premium of each
segment bears to the sum of the Guideline Annual Premiums of all segments. The
Guideline Annual Premium for each coverage segment is shown in the Schedule.
ACCOUNT VALUES ON THE INVESTMENT DATE
The Account Value of each Division of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed
Interest Division as of the Investment Date is equal to:
Form 1195 (VUL)
Page 15
a) The allocation to that Division of the first Net Premium paid (as
determined by you); minus
b) The portion of any monthly deductions due on the Investment Date
allocated to that Division.
The Account Value of the Loan Division as of the Investment Date is equal to
zero.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The investment experience of a Division of the Variable Account is determined as
of each Valuation Date. We use an Accumulation Unit Value to measure the
experience of each of the Variable Account Divisions during a Valuation Period.
We set the accumulation Unit Value at $10 on the Valuation Date when the first
investments in each Division of the Variable Account are made. The Accumulation
Unit Value for a Valuation Period equals the Accumulation Unit Value for the
preceding Valuation Period multiplied by the Accumulation Experience Factor for
the Valuation Period.
The number of units for a given transaction related to a Division of the
Variable Account as of a Valuation Date is determined by dividing the dollar
value of that transaction by that Division's Accumulation Unit Value for that
date.
ACCUMULATION EXPERIENCE FACTOR
For each Division of the Variable Account, the Accumulation Experience Factor
reflects the investment experience of the Portfolio in which that Division
invests and the charges assessed against that Division for a Valuation Period.
The Accumulation Experience Factor is calculated as follows:
a) The net asset value of the Portfolio in which that Division invests as
of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b) The amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared and
reinvested in the Portfolio in which that Division invests during the
current Valuation Period; minus
c) A charge for taxes, if any.
d) The result of (a), (b) and (c) is then divided by the net asset value
of the Portfolio in which that Division invests as of the end of the
preceding Valuation Period; minus
e) The result of (d) minus the daily equivalent of the Annual Mortality
and Expense Risk Charge shown in the Schedule for each day in the
current Valuation Period.
ACCOUNT VALUE OF THE DIVISIONS OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
On subsequent Valuation Dates after the Investment Date, your Account Value of
each Division of the Variable Account is calculated as follows:
a) The number of Accumulation Units in that Division as of the beginning
of the current Valuation Period multiplied by that Division's
Accumulation Unit Value for the current Valuation Period; plus
b) Any additional Net Premiums allocated to that Division during the
current Valuation Period; plus
c) Any Account Value transferred to or minus any Account Value
transferred from the Variable Division during the current Valuation
Period (including the applicable portion of any transfer fee); minus
d) Any Partial Withdrawals allocated to that Division and any applicable
withdrawal service fees which are allocated to the Variable Division
during the current Valuation Period; plus
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 16
e) Any amounts released from the Loan Division as a result of a loan or
loan interest payment, or minus amounts transferred to the Loan
Division as of a result of any loans which are allocated to the
Variable Division during the current Valuation Period, minus
f) The portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the Variable
Division, if a Monthly Processing Date occurs during the current
Valuation Period.
ACCOUNT VALUE OF THE GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
On Valuation Dates after the Investment Date, your Account Value of the
Guaranteed Interest Division is calculated as follows:
a) The Account Value of the Guaranteed Interest Division at the end of
the preceding Valuation Period plus interest at the declared rate
credited during the current Valuation Period; plus
b) Any additional Net Premiums allocated to the Guaranteed Interest
Division plus interest credited to these Premiums during the current
Valuation Period; plus
c) Any account Value transferred to or minus any Account Value
transferred from the Guaranteed Interest Division during the current
Valuation Period (including the applicable portion of any transfer
fee); minus
d) Any Partial Withdrawals taken and any applicable withdrawal service
fees which are allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division during
the current Valuation Period; plus
e) Any amounts released from the Loan Division as a result of a loan or
loan interest payment, or minus amounts transferred to the Loan
division as of a result of any loans which are allocated to the
Guaranteed Interest Division during the current Valuation Period;
minus
f) The portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the Division, if a
Monthly Processing Date occurs during the current Valuation Period.
ACCOUNT VALUE OF THE LOAN DIVISION
On Valuation Dates after the Investment Date, your Account Value of the Loan
Division is equal to:
a) The Account Value of the Loan Division on the prior Valuation Date;
plus
b) Any interest credited to the Loan Division during the Valuation
Period; plus
c) An amount equal to any additional loans since the prior Valuation
Date; minus
d) Any loan repayments, including payment of loan interest in cash; plus
e) The amount of accrued loan interest if the Valuation Date is a Policy
anniversary; minus
f) The amount of interest credited to the Loan Division during the year
if the Valuation Date is a Policy anniversary.
On Policy anniversaries, any amount of interest credited to the Loan Division
during the year is transferred from the Loan Division to the Variable Account
and Guaranteed Interest Divisions in the same proportion that your Account
Value in each Variable Division and the Guaranteed Interest Division bears to
your Net Account Value as of the Policy anniversary.
Form 1195(VUL)
Page 17
MONTHLY DEDUCTION AND REFUND
MONTHLY DEDUCTION
The monthly deduction is equal to:
a) the cost of insurance charges for this Policy; plus
b) the monthly charges for any other additional benefits provided by
rider, plus
c) the monthly expense charges shown in the Schedule.
The monthly deductions allocated to the Divisions of the Variable Account and
Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion that your Account Value in
the Division bears to your Net Account Value as of the Monthly Processing Date.
This deduction is taken from your Account Value as of the monthly Processing
Date.
COST OF INSURANCE
The cost of insurance is determined on a monthly basis for each coverage
segment. Such cost is the monthly cost of insurance rate for the Insured's
Premium Class multiplied by the net amount at risk. The net amount at risk is
(a) minus (b) where:
a) is the Base Death Benefit for all coverage segments as of the Monthly
Processing date after the monthly deductions (other than cost of
insurance charges for the Base Death Benefit, any Adjustable Term
Insurance Rider and any Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider), divided
by 1 plus the monthly equivalent of the Guaranteed Interest Rate for
the Guaranteed Interest Division as shown in the Schedule; and
b) is your Account Value as of the Monthly Processing Date after the
monthly deductions (other than the cost of insurance for the Base
Death Benefit, any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider and any Waiver of
Monthly Deduction Rider)
The cost of insurance rates will be determined by us from time to time. They
will be based on the sex and age as of the Effective Date of coverage, the
deduction since the coverage began and the Premium Class. Any change in rates
will apply to all individuals of the same Premium Class and whose policies have
been in effect for the same length of time. The rates will never exceed those
rates shown in the Table of Guaranteed Rates in the Schedule as adjusted for any
substandard Premium Class.
Each time there is a new coverage segment of Stated Death Benefit due to a
requested increase, the net amount at risk will be allocated to each coverage
segment in the same proportion that the Stated Death Benefit of that segment
bears to the total Policy Stated Death Benefit. Different rates will apply to
each segment depending upon the Premium Class, the Age as of the Effective Date
of the increase and the duration since the Effective Date of the increase.
PERSISTENCY REFUND
Each month your Policy or a coverage segment of Stated Death Benefit remains in
force after its tenth Policy anniversary, we will credit your Account Value with
a refund equivalent to 0.5% of your Account Value on an annual basis for that
segment (0.04167% monthly). Your Account Value will be allocated to each
coverage segment based upon the number of completed Policy years the segment has
been in force and the size of the Guideline Annual Premium for the segment as
shown in the Schedule.
Form 1195 (VUL)- MD
Page 18
The persistency refund will be added to the Divisions of the Variable Account
and the Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion that your Account
Value in each Division bears to your Net Account Value as of the Monthly
Processing Date.
LOAN PROVISIONS
POLICY LOANS
You may obtain a Policy Loan after the first Policy anniversary. The maximum
amount you may borrow at any time equals (a) minus (b) where (a) is equal to:
1) Account Value minus (12 times the current monthly deduction);
2) Multiplied by (1 + Policy Loan Interest Rate);
3) Divided by (1 + Guaranteed Interest Rate credited to Loan Division);
and where (b) is equal to any outstanding Policy Loan and accrued loan interest.
However, at no time will the maximum amount you may borrow be less than 90% of
the Account Value; minus any outstanding policy loan and accrued but unpaid
interest. The Policy Loan is a first Lien on your Policy. The minimum amount
you may borrow is shown in the Schedule. The outstanding Policy Loan amount is
equal to the loan amount as of the beginning of the Policy year plus new loans
and minus loan repayments.
LOAN INTEREST
The annual Policy Loan interest rate is shown in the Schedule. If a loan is
made, interest is due and payable at the end of the Policy year. Thereafter,
interest on the loan amount is due annually at the end of each Policy year until
the loan is repaid. If interest is not paid when due, it is added to the Policy
Loan.
If the Policy Loan amount plus any accrued interest equals or exceeds the
Account Value, a Premium sufficient to keep this Policy in force must be paid as
provided in the Grace Period provision.
LOAN DIVISION
When a Policy Loan is taken or when interest is not paid in cash when due, an
amount equal to the loan is transferred from the Divisions of the Variable
Account and the Guaranteed Interest Division to the Loan Division to secure the
loan. This amount will be deducted from the Divisions of the Variable Account
and the Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion that your Account
Value in each Division bears to your Net Account Value as of the date the
transfer is effective. Your Account Value in the Loan Division will be credited
with interest at the interest rate for the Loan Division shown in the Schedule.
When a loan repayment is made an amount equal to the repayment is transferred
from the Loan Division to the Guaranteed Interest Division and the Divisions of
the Variable Account in the same proportion as your current Premium allocation
unless you request a different allocation.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 19
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
You may apply for a Partial Withdrawal of your Account Value on any monthly
Processing Date after the first Policy anniversary by writing to us at our
Customer Service Center. The minimum and maximum Partial Withdrawal amounts are
shown in the Schedule. When a Partial Withdrawal is made, the amount of the
withdrawal plus a service fee is deducted from your Account Value. The amount
of the service fee is shown in the Schedule. We limit the number of Partial
Withdrawals in a Policy year and this number is shown in the Schedule.
The Stated Death Benefit is not reduced by a Partial Withdrawal taken when the
Base Death Benefit has been increased to qualify your Policy as life insurance
under the Federal income tax laws and the amount withdrawn is no greater than
that which reduces your Account Value to the level which no longer requires the
Base Death Benefit to be increased for Federal income tax law purposes.
For a Policy under an Option 1 death benefit, the Stated Death Benefit is not
reduced by a Partial Withdrawal in the circumstances described above. In
addition, if no more than 16 years have elapsed since the Policy date and the
Insured is not yet Age 81, a Partial Withdrawal of an amount up to 10% of your
Account Value or, if greater, 5% of the Stated Death Benefit, calculated
immediately before the Partial Withdrawal is taken will not reduce the State
Death Benefit. Any additional amount withdrawn reduces your Stated Death
Benefit by that additional amount.
For a Policy under an Option 2 death benefit, a Partial Withdrawal does not
reduce your Stated Death Benefit. For a Policy under an Option 3 death benefit,
your Stated Death Benefit will be reduced by any amount of the Partial
Withdrawal in excess of Premiums paid to the date of the Partial Withdrawal.
Any reduction in death benefit or Account Value will occur as of the date the
Partial Withdrawal occurs. No Partial Withdrawal will be allowed if the Stated
Death Benefit remaining in force after any such Partial Withdrawal would be
reduced below the minimum Stated Death Benefit shown in the Schedule.
For a Policy under an Option 2 or Option 3 death benefit, a Partial Withdrawal
reduces the Base Death Benefit by the amount of the withdrawal. Under any death
benefit option, if the Base Death Benefit has been increased in order to qualify
your Policy as a life insurance contract under the Federal income tax laws, the
Partial Withdrawal reduces the Base Death Benefit by an amount greater than the
withdrawal.
You may specify how much of the withdrawal you wish taken from each Division of
the Variable Account or from the Guaranteed Interest Division. You may not
withdraw from the Guaranteed Interest Division more than the total withdrawal
times the ratio of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Interest Division to
your Net Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal. Unless you indicate
otherwise, we will make the withdrawal from the amounts in the Guaranteed
Interest Division and the Divisions of the Variable Account in the same
proportion that your Account Value in each Division bears to your Net Account
Value immediately prior to the withdrawal. The withdrawal service fee is
deducted from each Variable Division and the Guaranteed Interest Division in the
same proportion that your Account Value of each division bears to your Net
Account Value immediately after the withdrawal.
We may send you a new Schedule to reflect the effect of the withdrawal,
including any changes to the Stated Death Benefit. We may ask you to return
your Policy to our Customer Service Center to make this change. The withdrawal
and the reductions in death benefits will be effective as of the Valuation Date
after we received your request.
Form 1195 (VUL)
Page 20
SURRENDER PROVISIONS
SURRENDER VALUE
The net Cash Surrender Value on any date will be your Account Value plus any
refund of sales charges due and minus any Policy Loan including accrued but
unpaid loan interest.
BASIS OF COMPUTATIONS
The Cash Surrender Value under the Policy is not less than the minimums required
as of the Policy date by the state in which your Policy was delivered. A
detailed statement of the method of computation of Policy Values under the
Policy has been filed with the insurance department of the state in which the
Policy was delivered, if required.
FULL SURRENDERS
You may surrender your Policy after the Right to Examine Period or at any time
during the lifetime of the Insured and receive the net Cash Surrender Value. We
will compute the net Cash Surrender Value as of the next Valuation Date after we
receive both your request and the Policy at our Customer Service Center. This
Policy will be canceled as of the date we receive your request, and there will
be no further benefits under this Policy.
If you surrender your Policy within the first two Policy years but after the
Right to Examine Policy Period has ended, the net Cash Surrender Value will
include a refund of a portion of the sales charges which were previously
deducted from your premiums paid. In the first Policy year, the refund is equal
to 5% of the premium paid up to the Target Premium. In the second year, the
refund is equal to 2.5% of the premium paid in the first Policy year, up to the
Target Premium.
GRACE PERIOD, TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT PROVISIONS
GRACE PERIOD
If the following conditions occur on a Monthly Processing Date, the Policy will
enter into the 61 day Grace Period:
a) The Net Account Value is zero or less; and
b) The Guarantee Period shown in the Schedule and described below has
expired or been terminated; and
We will give you a 61 day Grace Period from this Monthly Processing Date to make
the required Premium payment. The required Premium payment then due must be
paid to keep the Policy in force. If this amount is not received in full by the
end of the Grace Period, the Policy will lapse without value. The required
Premium payment will be equal to past due charges plus an amount we expect to be
sufficient to keep the Policy and any riders in force for 2 months following the
receipt of the required Premium payment. If we receive at least the required
Premium payment during the Grace Period we will make deductions from the Net
Premium payment for the past due amounts and apply any re remaining amount as
Premium to the Policy.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 21
Notice of the amount of the required Premium payment will be mailed to you or
any assignee at the last known address at least 30 days before the end of the
Grace Period. If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, we will deduct any
overdue monthly deductions from the death Proceeds of the Policy.
THREE YEAR CONTINUATION PERIOD
During the first 3 Policy years, if at all times the sum of your Premiums paid
minus the sum of your Partial Withdrawals, Policy Loans taken and accrued but
unpaid interest, is greater than or equal to: one-twelfth of the minimum Annual
Premium multiplied by the number of complete months your Policy has been in
force, your Policy will remain in force regardless of the Net Account Value.
The Minimum Annual Premium is shown in the Schedule. If you increase the Stated
Death Benefit during the first 3 Policy years, the new Schedule will show a
revised Minimum Annual Premium which will be used for future tests to determine
if your Policy will remain in force under this provision.
TERMINATION
All coverage provided by this Policy will end as of the earliest of:
a) The date the Policy is surrendered;
b) The date of death of the Insured;
c) The Maturity Date of the Policy; or
d) The date the Grace Period ends without payment of the required
Premium.
REINSTATEMENT
The Policy may be reinstated within five years after the beginning of the Grace
Period. The reinstatement will be effective as of the Monthly Processing Date
on or next following the date we approve your written application.
We will reinstate the Policy and any riders if the following conditions are met:
a) You have not surrendered the Policy for its net Cash Surrender Value;
b) You submit evidence satisfactory to us that the Insured and those
insured under any riders are still insurable according to our normal
rules of underwriting for this type of Policy; and
c) We receive payment of the amount of Premium sufficient to keep the
Policy and any riders in force from the beginning of the Grace Period
to the end of the expired Grace Period and for 2 months after the date
of reinstatement. We will let you know, at the time you request
reinstatement, the amount of Premium needed for this purpose.
We will reinstate any Policy Loan, with accrued loan interest to the end of the
Grace Period, which existed when coverage ended.
Upon reinstatement, the Net Premium received minus past due amounts will be
allocated to the Divisions of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest
Division according to the Premium allocation percentages in effect at the start
of the Grace Period or as directed by you in writing at the time of
reinstatement.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 22
DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT
Requests for transfers, withdrawals, payment of proceeds on the Maturity Date or
a full surrender will be processed within 7 days of receipt of the request in a
form acceptable to us. However, we may postpone the processing of any such
Variable Account transactions for any of the following reasons:
a) The NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings.
b) Trading on the NYSE is restricted by the SEC.
c) The SEC declares that an emergency exists as a result of which
disposal of securities in the Variable Account is not reasonably
practicable to determine your Account Value in the Divisions.
d) A governmental body having jurisdiction over the Variable Account by
order permits such suspension.
Rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, are applicable and will govern as to
whether conditions described in (b), (c), or (d) exist.
Death proceeds will be paid within 7 days of determination of the proceeds and
are not subject to deferment. We may defer for up to 6 months payment of any
surrender proceeds, withdrawal or loan amounts from the Guaranteed Interest
Division, unless such payment will be made to pay premiums on policies in force
with this Company.
GENERAL POLICY PROVISIONS
THE POLICY
The Policy, including the original application and applications for an increase,
riders, endorsements, any Schedule pages, and any reinstatement applications
make up the entire contract between you and us. A copy of the original
application will be attached to the policy at issue. A copy of any application
as well as a new Schedule will be attached or furnished to you for attachment to
the Policy at the time of any change in coverage. In the absence of fraud, all
statements made in any application will be considered representations and not
warranties. No statement will be used to deny a claim unless it is in an
application.
AGE
The Policy is issued at the Age shown in the Schedule. This is the Insured's Age
nearest birthday on the Policy date. The Insured's Age at any time is the Age
shown in the Schedule increased by the number of completed Policy years.
PROCEDURES
We must receive any election, designation, assignment or any other change
request you make in writing, except those specified on the application. It must
be in a form acceptable to us. We may require a return of the Policy for any
change or for a full surrender. We are not liable for any action we take before
we receive and record the written request at our Customer Service Center.
In the event of the death of the Insured before the Maturity Date, please let us
or our agent know as soon as possible. Claim procedure instructions will be sent
to the Beneficiary immediately. We may require proof of Age and a certified copy
of the death certificate. We may require
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 23
the Beneficiary and next of kin to sign authorizations as part of due proof.
These authorization forms allow us to obtain information about the Insured,
including, but not limited to, medical records of physicians and hospitals used
by the Insured.
OWNERSHIP
The original Owner is the person named as the Owner in the application. You, as
the Owner, can exercise all rights and receive the benefits during the Insured's
life before the Maturity Date. This includes the right to change the Owner,
Beneficiaries, and methods for the payment of proceeds. All rights of the Owner
are subject to the rights of any assignee and any irrevocable Beneficiary.
You may name a new Owner by sending written notice to us. The Effective Date of
the change to the new Owner will be the date you sign the notice. The change
will not affect any payment made or action taken by us before recording the
change at our Customer Service Center.
BENEFICIARIES
The primary Beneficiary surviving the Insured will receive any death Proceeds
which become payable. Surviving contingent Beneficiaries are paid death
Proceeds only if no primary Beneficiary has survived the Insured. If more than
one Beneficiary in a class survives the Insured, they will share the death
Proceeds equally, unless your designation provides otherwise. If there is no
designated Beneficiary surviving, you or your estate will be paid the death
Proceeds. The Beneficiary designation will be on file with us or at a location
designated by us. While you are living, you may name a new Beneficiary. The
Effective Date of the change will be the date the request was signed. We will
pay proceeds to the most recent Beneficiary designation on file. We will not be
subject to multiple payments.
EXCHANGE RIGHT
If, for any reason within the first 24 months, you want to exchange this Policy
for a Policy in which values do not vary with the investment experience of the
Variable Account, we will exchange this Policy so long as premiums are duly
paid. Option (1) or (2) can be chosen by the policy holder and the exchange
will be implemented in one of two ways: (1) by exchanging for another permanent
fixed benefit life insurance policy offered in this state by us; or (2) by
transferring your Account Value in all the Divisions of the Variable Account to
the Guaranteed Interest Division and removing your future right to choose to
allocate funds to the Divisions of the Variable Account. This transfer will not
be subject to the Excess Transfer Charge. If a new policy is chosen it will
comply with the following conditions:
a) shall bear the same date of issue and age at issue as the original
variable life insurance policy; and
b) issued on a comparable plan of permanent insurance offered in this
state by the insurer at premium rates in effect on that date for the
same class of insurance; and
c) includes such riders and incidental insurance benefits that were
included in the original policy if such riders and incidental
insurance benefits are issued with fixed benefit policies; and
d) are subject to an equitable premium or cash value adjustment that
takes appropriate account of the premiums and cash values under the
original and new policies; a detailed statement of the method of
computing such adjustment is on file with the Commissioner of the
state in which this policy is delivered; and
e) shall not require evidence of insurability for this exchange.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 24
We will require a return of this Policy before this change will be processed.
CONTRACT CHANGES
All changes made by us must be signed by our president or an officer and by our
secretary or assistant secretary. No other person can change any of this
Contract's terms and conditions.
COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
You may assign this Policy as collateral security by written notice to us. Once
it is recorded with us, the rights of the Owner and Beneficiary are subject to
the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid.
INCONTESTABILITY
After this Policy has been in force during the Insured's life for 2 years from
the Policy date, we will not contest the statements in the application attached
at issue.
After this Policy has been in force during the Insured's life for 2 years from
the Effective Date of any increase in any benefit with respect to the Insured,
we will not contest the statements in the application for the increase.
After this Policy has been in force during the Insured's life for 2 years from
the Effective Date of any reinstatement, we will not contest the statements in
the application for such reinstatement.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the death benefit will be
adjusted. The death benefit will be that which the cost of insurance which was
deducted from you Account Value on the last Monthly Processing Date prior to the
death of the Insured would have purchased for the Insured's correct age and sex.
SUICIDE EXCLUSION
If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within 2 years of the
Policy date, we will make a limited payment to the Beneficiary. We will pay in
one sum the amount of all Premiums paid to us during that time, minus any
outstanding Policy Loan (including accrued but unpaid interest) and Partial
Withdrawals. If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within 2
years of the Effective Date of an increase in the Stated Death Benefit, we will
make a limited payment to the Beneficiary for the increase. This payment will
equal the cost of insurance and any applicable monthly expense charges deducted
for such increase.
Form 1195 (VUL) - MD
Page 25
PERIODIC REPORTS
We will send you at least once each year a report which shows the current
Account Value, Cash Surrender Value and Premiums paid since the last report.
The report will also show the allocation of your Account Value as of the date of
the report and the amounts added to or deducted from your Account Value of each
Division since the last report. The report will include any other information
that may be currently required by the Insurance supervisory official of the
jurisdiction in which this Policy is delivered.
ILLUSTRATION OF BENEFITS AND VALUES
We will send you, upon written request, a hypothetical illustration of future
death benefits and Account Values. This illustration will include the
information as required by the laws or regulations where this Policy is
delivered. If you request more than one illustration during a Policy year, we
will charge a reasonable fee for each additional illustration. The maximum
amount of this fee is shown in the Schedule.
NONPARTICIPATING
The Policy does not participate in our surplus earnings.
CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER
Our Customer Service Center is at the address shown in the Schedule. Unless you
are otherwise notified:
a) All requests and payments should be sent to us at our Customer Service
Center; and
b) All transactions are effective as of the Valuation Date the required
information is received at our Customer Service Center.
PAYOUTS OTHER THAN AS ONE SUM
ELECTION
During the Insured's lifetime, you may elect that the Beneficiary receive the
proceeds upon death of the Insured other than in one sum. If you have not made
an election, the Beneficiary may do so within 60 days after the Insured's death.
You may also elect to take the net Cash Surrender Value of the Policy upon its
surrender other than in one sum. Satisfactory written request must be received
at our Customer Service Center before payment can be made. A payee that is not
a natural person may not be named without our consent. The various methods of
settlement are shown below.
PAYOUT OPTIONS
OPTION I. PAYOUTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD. Payouts will be made in 1, 2, 4, or
12 installments per year as elected for a designated period, which may be 5 to

$1,000 of Account Value applied is shown in Settlement Option Table I.
OPTION II. LIFE INCOME WITH PAYOUTS FOR DESIGNATED PERIOD. Payouts will be
made in 1, 2, 4, or 12 installments per year throughout the payee's lifetime, or

any higher rate required by law, are exhausted. Payouts will be made in 1, 2,
4, or 12 equal installments per year, as elected.
OPTION V. OTHER. Settlement may be made in any other manner as agreed upon in
writing between you (or the Beneficiary) and us.
CHANGE AND WITHDRAWAL
You may change an election at any time before the death of the Insured or
maturity of the Policy. If you have given the Beneficiary the right to make
changes or withdrawals, or if the Beneficiary has elected the option, the
Beneficiary (as primary payee) may take the actions below.
a) Changes may be made from Payout Options I, III, and IV to another
option.
b) Full withdrawals may be made under Payout Option III or IV. Partial
Withdrawals of not less than $300 may be made under Payout Option III.

A written request must be sent to our Customer Service Center in writing to make
a change or withdrawal. We also may require that you send in the Supplemental
Policy. We may defer payment of commuted and withdrawable amounts for a period
up to 6 months.
EXCESS INTEREST
If we declare that Payout Options are to be credited with an interest rate above
that guaranteed, it will apply to Payout Options I, II, III, and IV. The
crediting of excess interest for one period does not guarantee the higher rate
for other periods. Any declared interest rate will be in effect for at least 12
months.
MINIMUM AMOUNTS
The minimum amount which may be applied under any option is $2,000. If the
payments to the payee are ever less than $20, we may change the frequency of
payments so as to result in payments of at least that amount.
SUPPLEMENTARY POLICY
When an option becomes effective, the Policy will be surrendered in exchange for
a Supplementary Policy. It will provide for the manner of settlement and rights
of the payees. The Supplementary Policy's Effective Date will be the date of
the Insured's death or the date of other
Form 1195 (VUL)
Page 27
settlement. The first payment under Options I, II, and IV will be payable as of
the Effective Date. The first interest payment under Option III will be made as
of the end of the interest payment period elected. Subsequent payments will be
made in accordance with the frequency of payment elected. The Supplementary
Policy may not be assigned or payments made to another without our consent.
INCOME PROTECTION
Unless otherwise provided in the election, a payee does not have the right to
commute, transfer or encumber amounts held or installments to become payable.
To the extent provided by law, the proceeds, amount retained, and installments
are not subject to any payee's debts, policies, or engagements.
DEATH OF PRIMARY PAYEE
Upon the primary payee's death, any payments certain under Option I or II,
interest payments under Option III, or payments under Option IV will be
continued to the contingent payee. Or, amounts may be released in one sum if
permitted by the Policy. The final payee will be the estate of the last to die
of the primary payee and any contingent payee.
PAYMENTS OTHER THAN MONTHLY
The tables which follow show monthly installments for Options I and II. To
arrive at annual, semiannual, or quarterly payments, multiply the appropriate
figures by 11.813, 5.957 or 2.991 respectively. Factors for other periods
certain or for other options which may be provided by mutual agreement will be
provided upon reasonable request.
