PREMIUM PROVISIONS

Initial Monthly Premium Rates The initial monthly premium rates to be charged for employee coverage and/or child/spouse coverage, if applicable, are shown on the following page(s).

The first premium is due and payable on the effective date of The Policy. Subject to The Policy's grace period provision, all premiums after the first must be paid when or before they are due.

The Initial Monthly Premium Rates may be converted as follows:

To Convert Rates to: Use a Conversion Factor of:

--annual rates 11.8227 --semi-annual rates 5.9557 --quarterly rates 2.9852

Grace Period The Company will allow the Policyholder a 60 day grace period for the payment of all premiums after the first. During this 60 day period, The Policy will stay in force. If the owed premium is not paid by the 60th day, The Policy will automatically terminate. If the Policyholder gives The Company written advance notice of an earlier cancellation date, The Policy will terminate on the earlier date. Premium is due for each day The Policy is in force.

Monthly Premium Rate Guarantee Initial Monthly Premium Rates are guaranteed as follows:

Benefit Rate Guarantee Period Basic Life Insurance until September 01, 2023 Basic Dependent Life Insurance until September 01, 2023

Subject to the Rate Guarantee Period shown above, The Company has the right to change premium rates on any premium due date if:

1) written notice is delivered to the Policyholder's last address on record; and

2) the change is effective at least 61 days after the date of notice.

The Rate Guarantee Period supersedes only those provisions appearing elsewhere in this Policy which give The Company the right to change the premium rates, and then, only for the period of time for which the rates are guaranteed.

However, The Company may change the premium rates during the Rate Guarantee Period if:

1) there is a change in The Policy;

2) there is any change to state or federal law or inaction by state or federal law makers which affects The Company's liability under The Policy on a temporary or permanent basis;

3) there is a 10% increase or decrease in the number of insured Employees;

4) the Policyholder adds or deletes a subsidiary or affiliated business entity; or

5) there has been a material misstatement in the reported experience during the pre-sale process.

The Rate Guarantee Period in no way affects, amends or supersedes any other provision in The Policy.

Form GBD-1000 D.3 (10/08) (Rev-1) 4

PREMIUM PROVISIONS

Calculation Premiums may be calculated by multiplying the rate times the applicable number of units of coverage.

If any insurance is added, increased or becomes effective after The Policy is in force, the premium charges will begin on:

1) the day the coverage is effective, if it is also the first day of a policy month; or

2) the first day of the next policy month.

For insurance which is terminated, premium charges will stop as of the first day of the next policy month.

With respect to Dependent Life Insurance only, the premium rate per Dependent unit or per $1,000 of insurance, whichever is applicable, will be based on actuarial assumptions, due to the difficulty in obtaining the ages of all Dependents who are covered under this benefit. The actuarial assumptions will produce, in the opinion of The Company, the same total amount of premium as would be obtained by the use of the actual ages of the Dependents covered.

Premiums may be calculated by any other method which both The Company and the Policyholder agree to in writing.

Premium Payments Premium payments are due and payable in full to a place designated by The Company or, with respect to the initial premium payment, premium payments may be made to an authorized agent of The Company. The pre-payment of premiums for a particular period by the Policyholder is not a guarantee that The Policy will remain in force.

How you’re protected if your life or health insurance company fails

The Texas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association protects you by paying your covered claims if your life or health insurance company is insolvent (can’t pay its debts). This notice summarizes your protections.

The Association will pay your claims, with some exceptions required by law, if your company is licensed in Texas and a court has declared it insolvent. You must live in Texas when your company fails. If you don’t live in Texas, you may still have some protections.

For each insolvent company, the Association will pay a person’s claims only up to these dollar limits set by law:

· Accident, accident and health, or health insurance (including HMOs):

Up to $500,000 for health benefit plans, with some exceptions.

Up to $300,000 for disability income benefits.

Up to $300,000 for long-term care insurance benefits.

Up to $200,000 for all other types of health insurance.

· Life insurance:

Up to $100,000 in net cash surrender or withdrawal value.

Up to $300,000 in death benefits.

· Individual annuities:

Up to $250,000 in the present value of benefits, including cash surrender and net cash withdrawal values.

· Other policy types: Limits for group policies, retirement plans and structured settlement annuities are in Chapter 463 of the Texas Insurance Code.

· Individual aggregate limit: Up to $300,000 per person, regardless of the number of policies or contracts. A limit of $500,000 may apply for people with health benefit plans.

· Parts of some policies might not be protected: For example, there is not protection for parts of a policy or contract that the insurance company doesn’t guarantee, such as some additions to the value of variable life or annuity policies.

Note: You’re receiving this notice because Texas law requires your insurance company to send you a summary of your protections under the Texas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act (Insurance Code, Chapter 463). These protections apply to insolvencies that occur on or after September 1, 2019. There may be other exceptions that aren’t included in this notice. When choosing an insurance company, you should not rely on the Association’s coverage.

Texas law prohibits companies and agents from using the Association as an inducement to buy insurance or HMO coverage.

Chapter 463 controls if there are differences between the law and this summary.
