Common use of INTERNAL REPLACEMENTS Clause in Contracts

INTERNAL REPLACEMENTS. A policy issued as an internal exchange or replacement of another policy (whether or not the original policy was reinsured under this Agreement), and underwritten by the Ceding Company in accordance with its underwriting guidelines, standards and procedures for exchanges and replacements, will be treated and covered as new business under this Agreement (notwithstanding that suicide and contestability periods may be applied from the date of the replaced or exchanged policy for coverage up to the face amount of the replaced or exchanged policy in accordance with the Ceding Company's exchange guidelines). Reinsurance of any such policy may be ceded automatically or facultatively under this Agreement according to the same terms and conditions as apply to other new business. Reinsurance premium rates will be based on the issue age, issue date, and underwriting classification of the new policy. If a policy reinsured under this Agreement is internally exchanged or replaced with another policy, reinsurance will continue under this Agreement or, if applicable, any different agreement between the parties providing reinsurance coverage for the new policy. In that event, reinsurance premium rates will be based on issue age and duration of the original policy and underwriting classification of the new policy, and Reinsurer's share shall be as provided in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated in the internal exchange provisions of the reinsurance agreement that covers the new policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a reinsurance agreement between the parties providing reinsurance coverage for the new policy and such agreement treats the policy as new business, then the issue age, duration, and underwriting classification shall be based on the new policy, and Reinsurer's share shall be as provided in the reinsurance agreement covering the new policy.

It is understood and agreed that policies resulting from any wholesale internal exchange program undertaken by the Ceding Company shall not be covered by this Agreement, unless approved in advance in writing by the Reinsurer. The foregoing restriction on wholesale internal exchange programs shall not be construed to prohibit waiver of surrender charges or other policies or practices set forth in the Ceding Company's Internal Replacement Exchange Guidelines which the parties acknowledge have been shared with the Reinsurer, nor prevent any communication to the company's sales force about such guidelines.
