Automatic Reinsurance For automatic reinsurance, the Reinsurer's liability will commence at the same time as the Ceding Company's liability, including liability under any conditional receipt or temporary insurance provision.
REINSURANCE COVERAGE Reinsurance under this Agreement will apply to insurance issued by Ceding Company on the Plans of Insurance shown in Schedule A. Such Plans of Insurance shall be reinsured with the Reinsurer on an automatic basis, subject to the requirements set forth in Section A below or on a facultative basis, subject to the requirements set forth in Section B below. The specifications for all reinsurance under this Agreement are provided in Schedule A.
A. Requirements for Automatic Reinsurance For risks which meet the requirements for automatic reinsurance as set forth below, Reinsurer will participate in a reinsurance pool whereby Reinsurer will automatically reinsure a portion of the insurance risks as indicated in Schedule A. The requirements for automatic reinsurance are as follows:
1. Each life must be a resident of the United States or Canada at the time of application.

3. Any risk offered on a facultative basis by the Ceding Company to the Reinsurer or any other company will not qualify for automatic reinsurance under this Agreement for the same risk and same life.
4. The maximum issue age on any risk will be age 85.
5. The mortality rating on each risk must not exceed Table 16, Table P, or 500%, or its equivalent, as shown in the Ceding Company's retention schedule, on a flat extra premium basis. However, one life may be uninsurable if the other life meets the preceding requirements.

FACULTATIVE REINSURANCE 3.1 The Ceding Company may submit any application on a plan or rider identified in Exhibit B − Plans Covered and Binding Limits, to the Reinsurer (or any other reinsurer) for its consideration on a facultative basis. The Ceding Company will apply for reinsurance on a facultative basis by sending to the Reinsurer an Application for Facultative Reinsurance, providing information similar to the example outlined in Exhibit F – Application for Facultative Reinsurance. Accompanying this application will be copies of all underwriting evidence that is available for risk assessment including, but not limited to, copies of the application for insurance, medical examiners' reports, attending physicians' statements, inspection reports, and any other information bearing on the insurability of the risk. The Ceding Company also will notify the Reinsurer of any outstanding underwriting requirements at the time of the facultative submission. Any subsequent information received by the Ceding Company that is pertinent to the risk assessment will be immediately transmitted to the Reinsurer. After consideration of the application for facultative reinsurance and related information, the Reinsurer will promptly inform the Ceding Company of its underwriting decision. The Reinsurer's offer will expire at the end of one hundred twenty (120) days, unless otherwise specified by the Reinsurer in its offer. If the Ceding Company accepts the Reinsurer's offer, then the Ceding Company will note its acceptance in its underwriting file and include the policy on the next billing statement issued to the Reinsurer following policy activation. Reinsurer agrees the reinsurance offer will be deemed accepted by Ceding Company at the point in time Ceding Company makes such notation in its underwriting file in accordance with the Ceding Company's standard facultative placement procedures. Changes in plan, contract number, policyowner, or amount of coverage may be made subsequently by the Ceding Company without obtaining another offer from the Reinsurer provided such changes are within the amount approved by the Reinsurer and do not change the underlying risk. Coverage for any Automatic Increasing Benefit Rider shall be provided in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding any notations on the offer that say "no benefits", "benefits excluded", or words of similar import. The relevant terms and conditions of the Agreement will apply to those facultative offers made by the Reinsurer which are accepted by the Ceding Company. Nothing herein prevents the Ceding Company from retaining the risk on a policy that was facultatively shopped or placing the policy with a different facultative reinsurer.
Benefit Coverage The Company agrees to provide pension and welfare benefits as described in the Company Booklets, benefit plan documents or policies of insurance for the duration of the Agreement.
