INTRODUCTION
This is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy. The first premium
payment is due on the Policy Date. Additional premiums may be paid subject to
conditions specified in the Premium Payments section. In return for these
premiums and the insurance application, we provide certain benefits.
The Policy provides Death Proceeds. Proceeds can be paid in a lump sum or under
an Optional Payment Plan.
The Policy has an Account Value. The Account Value reflects the investment
experience of the Separate Account. (See THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT section.) Account
Value is the basis for certain benefits you can use before the Insured's death.
READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY.
Inforce Illustrations
We will provide an inforce illustration of future life insurance and Account
Value proceeds. To receive an illustration, send a written request to our Home
Office. You must pay any service fee in effect at that time. The fee will not be
more than $25 per illustration.
The illustration will assume:
. amounts of insurance; and
. other assumptions specified by you or by us.
5
When This Policy Will Terminate
All coverage under this Policy will terminate when:
. you request that coverage terminate and you return this Policy;
. at the insured's death; or
. the grace period ends without sufficient premium being paid.
This Policy will also terminate as stated in the Suicide provision.
THE OWNER AND THE BENEFICIARY
The Owner
You have rights in the Policy during the Insured's life. The Policy names the
Insured. If you are not the Insured, you should name a contingent owner who will
become the Owner if you die before the Insured. If you die before the Insured
and there is no contingent owner, ownership passes to your estate. If there are
multiple Owners, they own the Policy jointly with rights of survivorship. If the
last surviving joint Owner dies before the Insured, ownership passes to the
estate of that joint Owner.
The Beneficiary
You may name primary and contingent Beneficiaries. Your original Beneficiary
choice is shown in the attached application. Unless an Optional Payment Plan is
chosen, Death Proceeds will be paid in a lump sum to the primary Beneficiary. If
the primary Beneficiary dies before the Insured, Death Proceeds will be paid to
the contingent Beneficiary. If no Beneficiary survives the Insured, Death
Proceeds will be paid to you or your estate.
You may name more than one primary or contingent Beneficiary. If you do, the
proceeds will be paid in equal shares to the survivors in the appropriate
Beneficiary class who survive the Insured, unless you have requested otherwise.
Changing the Owner or Beneficiary
During the Insured's life, you may change the Owner. You may also change the
Beneficiary during the Insured's life if you reserved this right.
How to Change the Owner or Beneficiary. To make a change, send a written request
to our Home Office. The request must be received by us in a form satisfactory to
us. The change will take effect as of the date you sign the request. The change
will be subject to any payment we make before we record the change.
Using the Policy as Collateral for a Loan
This Policy may be assigned as collateral security. We must be notified in
writing if you assign the Policy. Any payment we make before we record the
assignment at our Home Office will not be affected. We are not responsible for
the validity of an assignment. Your rights and the rights of any revocable
Beneficiary may be affected by an assignment.
Trustee
If a trustee is named as the Owner or Beneficiary of this Policy and exercises
ownership rights or claims benefits, we will have no obligation to verify that a
trust is in effect. We are not obligated to verify that the trustee is acting
within the scope of his/her authority. Payment of policy benefits to the trustee
will release us from all obligations under the Policy to the extent of the
payment. We will have no obligation to ensure that a payment to the trustee is
applied according to the terms of the trust agreement.
6
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
This Policy's initial premium is due on the Policy Date.
Additional Premium Payments
If there is no outstanding Policy Debt, you may make additional premium
payments. If there is outstanding Policy Debt, any payment you make will be used
first for repaying Policy Debt. You may make additional premium payments if the
payment:
. is at least $1,000 and in addition to the total of all premiums
previously paid does not exceed the maximum premiums shown in the
policy data pages; or
. is required for an increase in Specified Amount after the first
anniversary; or
. is required as described in the Grace Period provision to prevent
termination.
At issue, the portion of Account Value in the Separate Account associated with
the initial premium is 1.
If you pay an additional premium, the portion of the Account Value in the
Separate Account representing the additional premium will be determined on the
date the premium is received. This portion is (a) divided by (b), where:
(a) is 1; and
(b) is the portion of the Account Value in the Separate Account for the
additional premium causing the redetermination.
Whenever an additional premium is paid, we redetermine the portion of Account
Value in the Separate Account associated with the initial premium. The new
portion associated with the initial premium will be (a) minus (b), multiplied by
(c) where:
(a) is 1;
(b) is the portion of the Account Value in the Separate Account
representing the additional premium causing the redetermination; and
(c) is the current portion associated with the premium for which the new
portion is being determined.
Whenever an additional premium is paid, we will redetermine all portions
associated with prior additional premiums in the same manner as described above
for the portion associated with the initial premium.
Where to Pay Premiums
Send each premium to our Home Office. Make the check payable to GE Life and
Annuity Assurance Company.
Allocation of Premiums
You may allocate premiums to one or more Subaccounts. You may not allocate
premiums to more than the maximum number of Subaccounts shown on the policy data
pages. The minimum percentage of each premium which may be allocated to any
particular Subaccount is shown on the policy data pages. Premiums will initially
be allocated in accordance with the allocations requested by you. You may change
the allocation of premiums at any time without charge. To change your
allocations send us a notice at our Home Office. The notice must be in writing
or in any form acceptable to us. The changed allocation will apply to premiums
received after we record the change.
Grace Period
If the Surrender Value on a Monthly Anniversary Day is insufficient to cover the
monthly deduction due on that Monthly Anniversary Day, we will allow a 61-day
grace period for payment of a premium sufficient to cover the monthly deduction.
This grace period will begin on the day we mail notice of the sufficient
premium. We will mail notice to you and any assignee of record in our Home
Office. If such premium is not paid by the end of the grace period, the Policy
will terminate without value. The monthly deduction is described in the Account
Value Benefits section. Coverage continues during the grace period. If the
Insured dies during the grace period, the proceeds will be reduced by any
overdue monthly deduction.
7
How This Policy Can Be Reinstated
You may reinstate this Policy within three years of the end of the grace period
if:
(1) you submit an application for reinstatement;
(2) you provide required evidence of insurability satisfactory to us that
the Insured is insurable;
(3) the Policy has not been surrendered for cash: and
(4) you pay the premium as described in this section.
The Policy will be reinstated effective on the date we approve the
reinstatement. The surrender charge will be as though the Policy had been in
effect continuously from its original Policy Date. On the date of reinstatement,
the Account Value will be allocated to the Subaccounts. Unless you tell us
otherwise, these allocations will be made in the same manner that premiums are
allocated. You will have to pay a premium sufficient to keep the Policy in
effect for at least two months.
On the date of reinstatement, the Account Value will equal (a) plus (b) minus
(c), where:
(a) is the surrender charge in effect on the date of reinstatement;
(b) is the premium paid to reinstate; and
(c) is the monthly deduction for the month following the date of
reinstatement.
DEATH PROCEEDS
Death Proceeds are payable at the death of the Insured. We will process a claim
for Death Proceeds on this Policy when we receive:
. this Policy;
. due proof that the Insured died while this Policy was in effect; and
. proof of the interest of the claimant.
Proceeds can be paid in a lump sum or under an Optional Payment Plan. Any Death
Proceeds that are paid in one lump sum will include interest from the date of
death to the date of payment. Interest will be paid at a rate set by us, or by
law if greater. Interest will not be paid beyond one year or any longer period
set by law.
How We Determine the Death Proceeds
The Death Benefit is based on the Specified Amount shown in the policy data
pages.
The Death Benefit, for Attained Ages less than 100, will be the greater of:
. the Specified Amount; and
. the Account Value on the date of death, multiplied by the corridor
percentage.
The Death Benefit, for Attained Ages 100 and older, will be the Account Value on
the date of death multiplied by the corridor percentage.
In no event will the Death Benefit be less than the amount required to keep the
Policy qualified as life insurance.
The corridor percentage depends on the Attained Age of the Insured on the date
of death.
Attained Corridor Attained Corridor Attained Corridor Attained Corridor

The actual amount of Death Proceeds will depend on:
. the Death Benefit as determined above;
. the use of the Account Value during the Insured's life;
. any partial surrenders;
. any Policy Debt;
. any additional insurance provided by rider;
. any increase or decrease in the Specified Amount;
. the Insured's suicide during the first two policy years (one year in
Colorado) or during the first two policy years (one year in Colorado)
following an increase in existing coverage; and
. a misstatement of the Insured's age or gender.
Compliance as Life Insurance
We reserve the right to amend this Policy as necessary to maintain compliance
with the Internal Revenue Code. We will send any such amendments to you. You
have the right to refuse such amendments and accept full responsibility for any
consequences as a result of such refusal. We also reserve the right to return
any premium with earnings thereon to maintain such compliance.
Increasing the Specified Amount
You may apply for an increase in Specified Amount after the first Policy
anniversary. To apply for an increase, you must submit an application. The
minimum increase in Specified Amount allowed is one which requires a $1,OOO.OO
additional premium payment. You will have to submit evidence satisfactory to us
that the Insured is insurable at the same rating class used at policy issue.
After an increase is approved, we will require an additional premium payment.
The increase will become effective on the date we receive the required payment.
This date will be shown in a supplemental policy data page.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account supports the operation of this Policy and certain other
variable life insurance policies we may offer. We will not allocate assets to
the Separate Account to support the operation of any contracts or policies that
are not variable life insurance.
We own the assets in the Separate Account. These assets are held separately from
our other assets. They are not part of our General Account.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account is also subject to Virginia laws which regulate the operations
of insurance companies incorporated in Virginia. The investment policy of the
Separate Account will not be changed without the approval of the Virginia
Insurance Commissioner. The approval process is on file with the Insurance
Commissioner of the state in which this Policy was delivered.
Insulation of Assets
The Separate Account assets equal the reserves and other policy liabilities
supported by the Separate Account. These assets will not be charged with
liabilities arising from any other business we conduct. We have the right to
transfer to our General Account any assets of the Separate Account which are in
excess of such reserves and other policy liabilities.
Subaccounts
The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount's income,
gains and losses, realized or unrealized, are credited to or charged against
that Subaccount. This transaction is made without regard to other income, gains
or losses of the Company or any other Subaccount.
9
The Subaccounts available under this Policy are shown on the policy data pages.
Each Subaccount invests exclusively in a Fund. Shares of a Fund are purchased
and redeemed at their net asset value. Any income, dividends or gains
attributable to Fund shares are reinvested in additional Fund shares at net
asset value.
Changes to the Separate Account and Subaccounts
Where permitted by applicable law, we may:
. create new separate accounts;
. combine separate accounts, including the Separate Account;
. transfer assets of the Separate Account to another separate account;
. add new Subaccounts to or remove existing Subaccounts from the
Separate Account or combine Subaccounts;
. make Subaccounts (including new Subaccounts) available to such classes
of policies as we may determine;
. add new Funds or remove existing Funds;
. substitute new Funds for any existing Fund whose shares are no longer
available for investment;
. substitute new Funds for any existing Fund which we determine is no
longer appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate Account;
. deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of
1940; and
. operate the Separate Account under the direction of a committee or in
any other form permitted by law.
In the event of any substitution or change, we may, by endorsement, make such
changes in this and other policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect
the substitution or change.
Valuation of Separate Account Assets
We will value the assets of the Separate Account each Valuation Day at their
fair market value. The valuation will be done in accordance with accepted
accounting practices and applicable laws and regulations.
Unit Value
Each Subaccount has a Unit Value. When premiums or other amounts are transferred
into a Subaccount, a number of units are purchased based on that Subaccount's
Unit Value as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the transfer is
made. Likewise, when amounts are transferred out of a Subaccount, units are
redeemed in a similar manner.
The Unit Value of each Subaccount was arbitrarily set when the Subaccount began
operations. The Unit Value for each subsequent Valuation Period is the net
investment factor for that period, multiplied by the Unit Value for the
immediately preceding period. The Unit Value for a Valuation Period applies to
each day in the period.
Each Subaccount has its own net investment factor. In the following definition,
"assets" refers to the assets in each Subaccount. "Any amount charged against
the Separate Account" refers to those amounts that are allocated to each
Subaccount.
The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is (a) divided by (b), where:
(a) is the result of:
1. the value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation
Period: plus
2. the investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized,
credited to those assets at the end of the Valuation Period for
which the net investment factor is being determined; minus
3. the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged against those
assets during the Valuation Period; minus
4. any amount charged against the Separate Account for taxes, or any
amount we set aside during the Valuation Period as a provision
for taxes attributable to the operation or maintenance of the
Separate Account; and
(b) is the value of the assets in the Subaccount at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period.
10
Transfers
You may transfer Account Value among the Subaccounts. The transfer will be
effective as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your
request at our Home Office. You must request a transfer in writing or in any
other form acceptable to us. We do not currently charge for transfers. We
reserve the right to impose a transfer charge. The maximum amount of any
transfer charge is provided on the policy data pages. When we make transfers,
the Account Value on the date of the transfer will not be affected by the
transfer except to the extent of any transfer charge. Any transfer charge will
be taken from the amount transferred.
We reserve the right to limit, upon written notice, the number of transfers each
calendar year to twelve. Also, we reserve the right to refuse to execute any
transfer:
(1) if any of the Subaccounts that would be affected by the transfer is
unable to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund in which the
Subaccount invests; or
(2) if the transfer is a result of more than one trade involving the same
Subaccount within a 30 day period; or
(3) if necessary for the Policy to be treated as a life insurance policy
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; or
(4) if the transfer would adversely affect accumulation unit values, This
may occur if the transfer would affect one percent or more of the
relevant Fund's total assets.
Where permitted by law, we may accept your authorization of third party
transfers. We may restrict the Subaccounts that will be available to you for
transfers. This restriction may occur during any period such third party is
authorized to act for you. We will give you prior notice of any restrictions. We
will not enforce such restrictions if you provide us with satisfactory evidence
that:
(1) a court of competent jurisdiction has appointed such third party to
act for you; or
(2) you have appointed such third party to act for you for all of your
financial affairs.
ACCOUNT VALUE BENEFITS
How We Determine Account Value
The Account Value of the Policy is equal to:
(a) the Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts; plus
(b) the Account Value held in the General Account to secure Policy Debt.
At the end of the Valuation Period during which the initial premium is received,
the Account Value in each Subaccount is (a) minus(b), where:
(a) is the portion of the initial premium which has been paid and
allocated to that Subaccount; and
(b) is the portion of any due and unpaid monthly deductions allocated to
the Account Value in that Subaccount.
At the end of each Valuation Period after such date, the Account Value allocated
to each Subaccount is (a) plus (b) plus (c) minus (d) minus (e) minus (f),
where:
(a) is the Account Value allocated to the Subaccount at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period, multiplied by the Subaccount's net
investment factor for the current period;
(b) is premium payments received during the current Valuation Period that
have been allocated to the Subaccount;
(c) is any other amounts transferred into the Subaccount during the
current Valuation Period;
(d) is the Account Value transferred out of the Subaccount during the
current Valuation Period;
(e) is any partial surrender made from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; and
(f) is any monthly deduction allocated to the Subaccount during the
current Valuation Period.
Monthly Deduction
The monthly deduction is a charge made on the Policy Date and each Policy Month
thereafter against the Account Value allocated to the Separate Account. The
monthly deduction is equal to the sum of:
. any premium tax recovery charge;
. any distribution expense charge;

. mortality and expense risk charge;
. administrative expense charge; and
. monthly cost of insurance charge.
There will be charges for the first ten years following a premium payment for
premium tax recovery and distribution expenses. The annual rate for these
charges is shown on the policy data pages. The charges will be (a) multiplied by
(b) multiplied by (c), where:
(a) is the monthly rate for the charges;
(b) is the sum of the portions associated with premiums paid in the last
ten years; and
(c) is the Account Value allocated to the Separate Account prior to taking
the monthly deduction.
Beginning on the Policy Date and on each Policy Month thereafter, there will be
a charge for the mortality and expense risk multiplied by the Account Value in
the Separate Account prior to taking the monthly deduction. This charge is shown
on the policy data pages.
The administrative expense charge will be included in the monthly deduction. The
monthly charge is equal to the greater of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the monthly rate, shown on the policy data pages, multiplied by the
Account Value in the Separate Account prior to taking the monthly
deduction; and
(b) is the minimum monthly administrative expense charge shown on the
policy data pages.
The monthly deduction will also include a charge for the cost of insurance. The
charge for the cost of insurance will not be deducted following the policy
anniversary nearest the Insured's 100th birthday. The monthly deduction for a
Policy Month will be allocated among the Subaccounts in the same proportion that
the Policy's Account Value in each Subaccount bears to the total Account Value
in all Subaccounts at the beginning of the Policy Month.
Cost of insurance
Current Cost of Insurance Charge. The current cost of insurance charge is
deducted as a fixed percentage of the Account Value. The monthly charge is based
on the Insured's gender, issue age, policy duration and rating class. The charge
is determined by us according to our expectations of future experience. We can
change the charges from time to time, but they will never be more than the
guaranteed maximum charge. A change in charges will apply to all persons of the
same age, gender and rating class and whose policies have been in effect for the
same length of time.
Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Charge. The guaranteed maximum charge is calculated
on each Monthly Anniversary Day. The guaranteed maximum charge is based on the
net amount at risk. The net amount at risk is calculated by dividing the Death
Benefit by 1.0032737, and then subtracting the Account Value. To determine the
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance for a particular Policy Month, we divide
the net amount at risk by 1000 and multiply that result by the applicable cost
of insurance rate shown in the Table of Guaranteed Maximum Insurance Rates.
Insufficient Surrender Value
On a Monthly Anniversary Day, if the Surrender Value is not enough to cover the
monthly deduction for that Monthly Anniversary Day, the Grace Period provision
will apply.
Surrender
You can surrender this Policy by sending a written request and the Policy to our
Home Office. The surrender must take place during the Insured's life. Unless an
Optional Payment Plan is chosen, any proceeds will be paid to you in a lump sum.
The amount payable on surrender is the Surrender Value. The Surrender Value is
(a) minus (b) minus (c), where:
(a) is the Account Value on the date we receive your request for surrender
in our Home Office;
(b) is any Policy Debt; and
(c) is any surrender charge that applies.
12
Surrender Charge
The amount of the surrender charge will be the applicable percentage of the
initial premium as shown in the Table of Surrender Charges on the policy data
pages. The applicable percentage is found next to the years representing the
number of fully completed policy years since the premium payment.
Partial Surrender
In each policy year following the first, you may make one partial surrender from
the Account Value. A charge will be deducted from each partial surrender. The
amount of the charge will equal the lesser of:
(a) $25; and
(b) an amount equal to 2% of the amount of the partial surrender.
The surrender charges, as shown on the policy data pages, will not apply to
partial surrenders of Account Value.
We will not allow a partial surrender to reduce the Account Value below $25,000.
The minimum partial surrender is $1,000. The maximum partial surrender is the
lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Surrender Value less $1,000; and
(b) is the available loan amount.
You may tell us how to allocate the partial surrender from the Subaccounts. If
you do not, the partial surrender will be deducted from each Subaccount in the
same proportion that the Policy's Account Value in that Subaccount bears to the
total Account Value in all Subaccounts on the date we receive the request in our
Home Office. If a partial surrender is made, the Account Value and the Specified
Amount under the Policy will be adjusted as follows:
The Account Value will be an amount equal to:
(a) the Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts prior to the partial
surrender minus the partial surrender; plus
(b) the Account Value held in the General Account to secure Policy Debt.
The Specified Amount shown on the policy data pages will be reduced by the
proportion by which the partial surrender reduces the Account Value.
Postponement of Payments
We will usually pay any amounts payable as a result of surrender, partial
surrender or policy loan within seven days after we receive written request in
our Home Office, in a form satisfactory to us. We will usually pay any Death
Proceeds within seven days after we receive due proof of death.
Payment of any amount for surrender, partial surrender, policy loan or Death
Proceeds may be postponed whenever:
. the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary week-end
and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission; or
. the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits postponement
for the protection of policy owners; or
. an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as a result of which disposal of securities is not
reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to
determine the value of the net assets of the Separate Account.
We have the right to defer payment which is derived from any amount recently
paid to us by check or draft, until we are satisfied the check or draft has been
paid by the bank on which it was drawn.
13
LOAN BENEFITS
This Policy has loan benefits that are described below. Any outstanding Policy
Debt will be deducted from Death Proceeds, or on surrender.
Making A Policy Loan
You may obtain a policy loan from us. This Policy is the only security required.
The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The maximum loan amount is 90% of the
difference between (a) the Account Value and (b) any surrender charge on the
date of the loan. The available loan amount is the maximum loan amount less any
outstanding Policy Debt.
When a policy loan is made, an amount of Account Value sufficient to secure the
loan is transferred out of the Separate Account and into our General Account.
You may tell us how to allocate that Account Value among the Subaccounts. If you
do not, that Account Value will be allocated among each Subaccount in the same
proportion that the Policy's Account Value in each Subaccount bears to the total
Account Value in all Subaccounts on the date we make the loan.
Account Value in the General Account will earn interest daily at a minimum
annual rate of 4%. On each policy anniversary day, the interest earned since the
preceding policy anniversary day will be transferred into the Separate Account.
This interest will be allocated to the Subaccounts in the same manner as
premiums.
Any loan transaction will permanently affect the values of the Policy.
Policy Loan Interest
The interest rates charged for non-preferred policy loans and for preferred
policy loans are shown on the policy data pages. Interest accrues daily, and is
due and payable on each policy anniversary. If interest is not paid when due, an
amount equal to the amount owed will be transferred out of the Separate Account
and into our General Account to become part of the Policy Debt and interest will
be charged on that amount. Interest transferred out of the Separate Account will
be transferred from each Subaccount in the same proportion that the Account
Value in that Subaccount bears to the total Account Value in all Subaccounts at
the time of interest transfer.
Preferred Policy Debt
A portion of policy loans taken and/or existing after the preferred loan
availability date (shown on the policy data pages) will be designated as
preferred policy debt. The amount of preferred policy debt is redetermined each
Policy Month.
Preferred policy debt will be at least as large as:
(a) the Account Value less any surrender charge that applies; minus
(b) the total premiums paid.
Repaying Policy Debt
You can repay Policy Debt in part or in full any time during the Insured's life
while this Policy is in effect. Loan payments will first be applied to reduce
the portion of Policy Debt that does not correspond to preferred policy debt.
When a loan repayment is made, Account Value in the General Account related to
that payment will be transferred into the Separate Account. You may tell us how
to allocate this Account Value among each Subaccount. If you do not, we will
allocate that amount among the Subaccounts in the same proportion that
premiums are being allocated.
If you do not repay Policy Debt, it will be deducted from any proceeds or
benefit payable at the Insured's death or on surrender. Any Policy Debt which
exists at the end of the 61-day grace period will be deducted from the Account
Value and considered repaid as of the date of termination.
14
Minimum Loan Payment
If Policy Debt on any Monthly Anniversary Day exceeds the Account Value less any
surrender charge that applies, your Policy will enter a 61-day grace period. In
this case, you will have the 61-day grace period to pay a minimum loan payment
equal to the amount by which Policy Debt exceeds the Account Value less any
surrender charge. As used in this paragraph, Policy Debt, Account Value and
surrender charge are all as of the Monthly Anniversary Day when excess Policy
Debt first occurs.
We will send written notice of the minimum loan payment to you and any assignee
of record at our Home Office at least 30 days prior to the date of termination.
If you do not pay the minimum loan payment by the end of the grace period, your
Policy will terminate without value.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Annual Statement
On each policy anniversary, we will send you an annual statement. The statement
will show the Specified Amount, the Account Value, the Surrender Value and
Policy Debt as of the policy anniversary. The statement will also show premiums
paid and charges made during the policy year.
Calculation of Values
Our calculations of the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on
the Commissioners' 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (age nearest
birthday).
The values provided for in this Policy are always at least what is required by
law of the state where the Policy was delivered. A detailed statement of how we
calculate the values in this Policy has been filed with the insurance department
of the state where the Policy was delivered.
Exchange Provision
During the first 24 Policy Months, you have the right to exchange this Policy
for a flexible premium adjustable life policy. We will not require evidence of
insurability. If you decide to make an exchange, we will notify you of the
policy or policies available for exchange and the procedures to follow. The
policy or policies we offer for exchange will be one offered by us or by an
affiliate. The amount of the new policy will be the Specified Amount of this
Policy on the date of exchange.
The new policy will have the same Policy Date, gender, issue age and equivalent
rating class as this Policy. The new policy will include such riders and
endorsements as were included in this Policy, if such riders and endorsements
are available with the new policy.
The exchange is subject to an equitable adjustment in payments and Account
Values to reflect any variances in the payments and Account Values under the
existing Policy and the new policy.
Limits on Contesting This Policy
In deciding to issue this Policy, we relied on statements in the application for
the Policy. If we increase the Specified Amount or reinstate the Policy after it
lapses, we rely on statements in a supplemental application or a reinstatement
application. The statements in all such applications are considered
representations and not warranties.
We can contest this Policy, an increase in Specified Amount and/or a
reinstatement of this Policy, if:
. any material misrepresentation of fact was made in the application, a
supplemental application or a reinstatement application; and
. a copy of that application was attached to the Policy when issued or
delivered, or was made a part of the Policy when a change in coverage
or Policy reinstatement went into effect.
With respect to the original Specified Amount, we will not contest this Policy
after it has been in effect during the lifetime of the Insured for two years
from its Policy Date. We will not contest an increase in Specified Amount after
that increase has been in effect during the lifetime of the Insured for two
years
15
from the effective date of the increase. We will not contest a reinstatement of
this Policy after the reinstated Policy has been in effect during the lifetime
of the Insured for two years from the date of reinstatement.
This provision does not apply to riders that provide disability benefits. (This
provision does apply to riders that provide disability benefits and are issued
in South Carolina.)
Misstatement of Age or Gender
If the Insured's age or gender was misstated in an application, the Death
Benefit will be adjusted. The Death Benefit after adjustment will be the sum of
(a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Account Value at the time of the death of the Insured; and
(b) is the unadjusted Death Benefit, reduced by the Account Value at the
time of the Insured's death, and multiplied by the ratio of (1) the
most recent monthly deduction based on the age and gender shown in the
application, to (2) the most recent monthly deduction based on the
true age or gender.
All amounts are those in effect in the Policy Month of the Insured's death.
In no event will the Death Benefi be less than the amount required to keep the
Policy qualified as life insurance.
Nonparticipating
This is not a participating policy. No dividends are payable.
The Policy and Its Parts
The Policy with any attached application(s), and any riders and endorsements is
a legal contract. It is the entire contract between you and us. An agent cannot
change this contract. Any change to it must be in writing and approved by us.
Only an authorized officer of the Company can give our approval.
We will not use any statement in the original application to deny a claim unless
a copy of that application was attached to this Policy when issued or delivered.
We will not use any statement in a supplemental application to deny a claim
unless a copy of that application was sent to you when the change in coverage
went into effect. We will not use any statement in a reinstatement application
to deny a claim unless a copy of the reinstatement application was sent to you
when the Policy was reinstated.
Suicide
If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years (one year
in Colorado) of the Policy Date, all coverage under the Policy will end, and we
will pay a limited amount of proceeds. The limited amount of proceeds will equal
the initial premium plus any additional premiums paid on the Policy that were
not required by an increase in coverage, less Policy Debt and partial
surrenders.
If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, more than two years (one
year in Colorado) after the Policy Date and within two years (one year in
Colorado) after an increase in the Specified Amount became effective, we will
limit the amount of proceeds payable with respect to the increase. The limited
amount of proceeds with respect to the increase will equal the additional
premium payment required for the increase.
Any limited amount payable will be treated as Death Proceeds and paid to the
Beneficiary under the same conditions as the original Specified Amount.
Written Notice
Any written notice to us should be sent to our Home Office at 6610 West Broad
Street, Richmond, Virginia 23230. Please include the policy number and the
Insured's full name.
Any notice we send to you will be sent to your address shown in the application.
Notify us of any change of address.
16
OPTIONAL PAYMENT PLANS
Death Proceeds or Surrender Value will be paid in one lump sum, unless requested
otherwise. Any part of the proceeds can be left with us and paid under a payment
plan. During the Insured's life, you can choose a plan. A Beneficiary can choose
a plan if you have not chosen one at the Insured's death.
There are several important payment plan rules:
. The payee under a plan cannot be a corporation, association or
fiduciary.
. If you change a Beneficiary, your plan selection will no longer be in
effect unless you request that it continue.
. Any choice or change of a plan must be sent in writing to our Home
Office.
. The amount of each payment under a plan must be at least $50.
. Payments will begin either on the date of the Insured's death or on
surrender, except for payments under Plan 4 which begin at the end of
the first interest period.
. Payments are backed by assets in our General Account.
Plan 1. Income for A Fixed Period. We will make equal periodic payments for a
fixed period, not longer than 30 years. Payments can be annual, semi-annual,
quarterly or monthly. Payments will be made according to the table in
this section. Guaranteed amounts payable under this plan will earn interest at
3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest and the amount of any
payment. If the payee dies, the amount of the remaining guaranteed payments will
be discounted to the date of the payee's death at a yearly rate of 3%.
Discounted means we will deduct the amount of interest each remaining payment
would have included had it not been paid out early. The discounted amount will
be paid in one sum to the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 2. Life Income. We will make equal monthly payments for a guaranteed
minimum period. If the payee lives longer than the minimum period, payments will
continue for his or her life. The minimum period can be 10, 15 or 20 years.
Payments will be according to the table in this section. Guaranteed amounts
payable under this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may
increase the interest rate and the amount of any payment. If the payee dies
before the end of the guaranteed period, the amount of remaining payments for
the minimum period will be discounted at the same interest rate used to
calculate the monthly income. The discounted amounts will be paid in one sum to
the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 3. Income of A Definite Amount. We will make equal periodic payments of a
definite amount. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly. The
amount paid each year must be at least $120 for each $1,000 of proceeds.
Payments will continue until the proceeds are exhausted. The last payment will
equal the amount of any unpaid proceeds. Unpaid proceeds will earn interest at
3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest rate. If we do, the payment
period will be extended. If the payee dies, the amount of the remaining proceeds
with earned interest will be paid in one sum to his or her estate unless
otherwise provided.
Plan 4. Interest Income. We will make periodic payments of interest earned from
the proceeds left with us. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or
monthly, and will begin at the end of the first period chosen. Proceeds left
under this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the
interest rate and the amount of any payment. If the payee dies, the amount of
remaining proceeds and any earned but unpaid interest will be paid in one sum to
his or her estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 5. Joint Life and Survivor Income. We will make equal monthly payments to
two payees for a guaranteed minimum of 10 years. Each payee must be at least 35
years old when payments begin. The guaranteed amount payable under this plan
will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest rate
and the amount of any payment. Payments will continue as long as either payee is
living. If both payees die before the end of the minimum period, the amount of
the remaining payments for the 10 year period will be discounted at the same
interest rate used to calculate the monthly income. The discounted amount will
be paid in one sum to the survivor's estate unless otherwise provided.
