--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D.1 BASE PLAN PARAMETERS
Plans covered under this Agreement will be reinsured on a YRT basis with the
Reinsurer participating only in mortality risks (not cash values, loans,
dividends or other features specific to permanent policies). The mortality risk
shall be the net amount at risk on that portion of the policy which is reinsured
with the Reinsurer.
Reinsurance premiums will be determined according to the amount reinsured with
the Reinsurer per insured life as follows. The life reinsurance premium will be
calculated in the case of life risks, by multiplying the appropriate life
premium rate per thousand (1000) x 12, from the attached Rate Schedule labeled
below, for the age of the insured, at the beginning of the policy year, by the
Policy Net Amount at Risk reinsured for that policy year, multiplied by the
applicable pay percentage as shown below. The same procedure will apply for
single premium policies and for paid up policies.
Reinsurance premiums will be the annual premium rates as labeled below,
multiplied by the following percentages.
