CASE NO. 10-304-CIVIL
CIVIL ACTION -LAW
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT
Plaintiffs Janice Townsend Bariski and the Estate of James Lee Bariski, by and
through their attorneys McNEES WALL-ACE & NURICK LLC, hereby file this Complaint
against Defendants. In support thereof, Plaintiffs state the following:
PARTIES
1. Plaintiff Janice Townsend Bariski is an adult individual residing in
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Ms. Bariski was the wife of the late
James Lee Bariski (the "Plaintiffs' Decedent,") and she is presently serving as the
Executrix of the Estate of James Lee Bariski.
2. Defendants are or were insurance companies. Upon information and belief,
Maccabees Life Insurance Company became Royal Maccabees Life Insurance
Company, and still later Reassure America Life Insurance Company.
3
THE FACTS
3. On or about June 8, 1990, James Lee Bariski purchased a life insurance
policy from Maccabees Life Insurance Company, being Policy No. 3166593 in the face
amount of $250,000 (the "Policy"), and named as primary beneficiary of the death
benefit, Janice Bariski. (Exhibit "A.'?
4. James Bariski paid the premiums on the Policy for many years.
5. James Bariski changed the beneficiary on the Policy to provide a creditor with
security for the payment of a debt. However, the debt was later paid, and any right or
title under the Policy was subsequently assigned to Janice Bariski. (Exhibit "B.'?
6. In 2002, James Bariski was diagnosed with cancer and ultimately, passed
away on or about December 20, 2007.
7. After James Bariski became ill and prior to his death, Defendants informed
Mr. Bariski that they had not received the premium due in November 2005, and he had
a grace period in which to make the premium payment.
8. James Bariski mailed the premium payment prior to the expiration of the
grace period.
9. Defendants wrongly informed James Bariski that the Policy had lapsed
because they had not received the premium payment prior to the expiration of the grace
period.
10. Defendants informed James Bariski that they would reinstate the Policy
without evidence of insurability if all past due premium payments were received in their
office no later than January 8, 2006.
4
11. Upon information and belief, Defendants received the payment from James
Bariski prior to January 8, 2006.
12. On or about January 9, 2006, Defendants wrongly informed James Bariski
that the Policy had terminated due to non-payment of premiums and reinstatement of
terminated coverage would require evidence of insurability.
13. On or about January 16, 2006, Defendants purported to have received
payment from James Bariski on January 10, 2006, insisted that the Policy had lapsed,
and forwarded a reinstatement application and authorization form.
14. James Bariski informed Defendants of his payment of the premium and
requested the reinstatement of the Policy.
15. Defendants wrongfully refused to recognize the continued existence of
coverage under the Policy.
16. Upon the death of Mr. Bariski, Defendants did not make payment of the
Policy proceeds.
17. James Bariski handled his own financial and insurance matters, and for the
most part, did not discuss these issues with others. Plaintiffs only discovered the
purported lapsing of the Policy upon review of Mr. Bariski's records several months after
his death.
18. Upon discovery of the purported lapsing of the Policy, Plaintiffs enlisted the
assistance of others in communicating with Defendants. During the course of these
communications, Defendants continued to defend their improper conduct.
COUNT I
BREACH OF CONTRACT
19. Paragraphs 1 to 18 above are incorporated herein as if set forth in full below.
5
20, Plaintiffs' Decedent paid the premiums due under the Policy in a timely
manner and otherwise honored all of his contractual obligations.

conduct:
a. Defendants misrepresented the requirements of Pennsylvania law and
the Policy regarding the payment of premiums.
b. Defendants wrongly informed Plaintiffs' Decedent that the Policy had
lapsed because Defendants had not received premium payments.
c. Defendants wrongly informed Plaintiffs' Decedent that the Policy had

the policy proceeds plus consequential damages, incidental damages, interest, and
costs.

advising them of the relevant facts.
26. Upon information and belief, Defendants knowingly misrepresented the

conduct. Defendants' misconduct included the following:

recover under the Policy.
27. Plaintiffs were deprived of the benefits of the Policy and denied financial
security due to Defendants' misconduct.
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs request judgment against Defendants for punitive
damages, attorneys' fees, interest at the prime rate of interest plus 3%, and costs.
Count III
VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW
28. Paragraphs 1 to 18 above are incorporated herein as if set forth in full below.
29. Plaintiffs' Decedent paid the premiums due under the Policy in a timely
manner and otherwise honored all of his obligations as an insured.
30. Plaintiffs' Decedent communicated with Defendants in a timely manner,

32. Plaintiffs were deprived the benefits of the Policy and denied financial
security due to Defendants' misconduct.
9
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs request judgment against Defendants for treble
damages, attorneys' fees, interest, and costs.

INSURANCE PROCEEDS
PROCEEDS PAYABLE
This Policy shall terminate upon the death of the
Insured. The Company will pay the Insurance
Proceeds subject to the provisions of this Policy to the
Beneficiary upon receipt of due proof of the Insured's
death. The Company will require surrender of this
Policy as a condition of payment.
The Insurance Proceeds payable depend on the
Specified Benefit Amount Option in effect at the date
of death.
Two Specified Benefit Amount Options are available
under this Policy:
LEVEL OPTION-The Specified Benefit Amount as
shown on the Schedule Page includes the
Accumulation Value. Under this option, the Insurance
Proceeds at the Insured's date of death shall equal
the greater of:
1) the Specified Benefit Amount on the date of
death; or
2) the Accumulation Value on the date of death
multiplied by the percentage shown in the Table
of Minimum Death Benefit Percentages for the
Insured's attained age.
INCREASING OPTION-The Specified Benefit
Amount as shown on the Schedule Page is in addition
to the Accumulation Value. Under this option, the
Insurance Proceeds at the Insured's date of death
shall equal the greater of:
1) The Specified Benefit Amount on the date of
death, plus the Accumulation Value on the date
of death; or
2) the Accumulation Value on the date of death
multiplied by the percentage shown in the Table
of Minimum Death Benefit Percentages for the
Insured's attained age.
Any increases or decreases made to the Specified
Benefit Amount may change the Insurance Proceeds
payable. Any loan, Withdrawal, or Partial Surrender
of this Policy will be subtracted from the Insurance
Proceeds.
If the Insured is living on the Maturity Date and this
Policy is in force, this Policy shall terminate and the
Company shall pay the Surrender Value to the Owner.
The Maturity Date is shown on the Schedule Page.
It is possible that coverage will terminate prior to the
Maturity Date if premiums paid following payment of
the Initial Premium are insufficient to continue
coverage to such date. It is also possible that
coverage will terminate prior to the Maturity Date
shown if the Company changes the interest rate or
the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates.
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED BENEFIT AMOUNT OPTION
The Schedule Page shows the option elected in the
original application. The option may be changed by
the Owner as allowed by the Company.
If the Increasing Option is in effect and the Owner
changes to the Level Option, the Specified Benefit
Amount subsequent to this change will equal the total
of the Specified Benefit Amount prior to the change
plus the Accumulation Value. Thereafter, the
Specified Benefit Amount will include the
Accumulation Value. If the Level Option is in effect
and the Owner changes to the Increasing Option, the
Specified Benefit Amount subsequent to this change
will equal the Specified Benefit Amount prior to the
change less the Accumulation Value. Thereafter, the
Specified Benefit Amount will not include the
Accumulation Value.
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED BENEFIT AMOUNT
The Specified Benefit Amount of this Policy may be
increased or decreased upon written request by the
Owner subject to the following conditions:
1) Any decrease will become effective on the
Monthly Deduction Day that falls on or next
follows the date the request is received by the
Company. Such decrease will reduce the
Specified Benefit Amount in the following order:
a) it will decrease the insurance provided by the
most recent increases successively;
b) It will decrease the Initial Specified Benefit
Amount.
2) The Specified Benefit Amount may not be
decreased to an amount less than $25,000.
3) The Specified Benefit Amount may not be
changed by an amount less than $10,000.
4) Any request for an increase must be applied for
on a supplemental application. Such increase will
be subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory
to the Company. Any increase will be subject to
the sufficiency of the Accumulation Value, less
any indebtedness, to cover the next Monthly
Expense Charge. Any increase will become
effective on the effective date shown on the
Specification Endorsement.
5) The Specified Benefit Amount may not be
increased if there has been a prior decrease.
APPLICATION FOR ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
Additional insurance on the life of the Insured's
spouse or child may be applied forby supplemental
application. Approval of the additional insurance shall
be subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to
the Company. Additional insurance shall also be
subject to the sufficiency of the Accumulation Value,
less any indebtedness, to cover the next Monthly
Expense Charge. Such new insurance will be
provided by rider and will become effective on the
effective date shown on the Specification
Endorsement.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
THE CONTRACT
This Policy, the attached application for this Policy,
any attached riders, any supplemental applications for
increases in the Specified Benefit Amount, and any
Specification Endorsements make up the entire
contract between the parties.
This Policy shall take effect upon delivery, provided
the Initial Premium has been paid, the Insured is
living, and there has been no material change in the
health of the Insured as shown in the application.
After this Policy has been in force during the Insured's
lifetime for two years from the date on which the
Specified Benefit Amount is increased, the Company
loses the right to contest a claim which involves the
increase in Specified Benefit Amount.
This provision does not apply to any Disability Benefit
or Accidental Benefit attached to this Policy.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
All statements made in the application are, in the
absence of fraud, deemed representations and not
warranties. No statement made by the Insured or on
his behalf will be used in defense of a claim under
this Policy unless it is made in a written application
and a copy of the application containing that
statement is attached to the Policy when issued.

must be in writing and signed by an officer of the
Company.
SUICIDE
If the Insured dies by suicide while sane or insane,
within two years from the Date of Issue, the Insurance
Proceeds will not be paid. The amount payable will
be the total of premiums paid less any indebtedness
on this Policy, and less any Withdrawal and Partial
Surrender amounts paid. A new two-year period will
apply to any increase in the Specified Benefit Amount
beginning on the date of each increase. The amount
payable under this provision attributable to a policy
increase will be the Costs of Insurance for that
increase if death by suicide, while sane or insane,
occurs during the first two years following the
increase.
If the Insured's age or sex has been misstated, the
proceeds payable upon death will be:
1) the Accumulation Value on the date of death; plus
2) that amount of insurance which would have been
purchased by the most recent Cost of Insurance
deduction had the correct Cost of Insurance Rate
been used.
ANNUAL REPORT
At least once each year the Company will send the
Owner an Annual Report which shows:
1) The current Accumulation Value;
2) The current Surrender Value;
3) The amount of any outstanding policy loan;
4) Premiums paid since the last Report;
5) Expense Charges since the last Report.
6) The Specified Benefit Amount;
7) Interest credited since the last Report; and

last report.
The amount payable under this provision will be paid
to the Beneficiary.
INCONTESTABILITY
After this Policy has been in force during the Insured's
lifetime for two years from the Date of Issue, the
Company loses the right to contest a claim based on
statements made in the application.
ILLUSTRATIVE REPORT
The Company will provide an illustrative report of
projected future Insurance Proceeds and Cash Values
which will be sent to the Owner upon request. The
Company may charge a reasonable fee for providing
such a Report.

paid to the surviving Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in
equal shares. If no Beneficiary has been named or
there are no surviving Beneficiaries, the Insurance
Proceeds will be paid to the Owner, if living; otherwise
to the Owner's estate.

L-3 (FPAL-5) R1
PREMIUMS
PAYMENT
The Initial Premium is due on the Date of Issue and
is payable in advance. Subsequent premiums are
payable in advance of the period to which they apply.
No benefit will be provided on the basis of any
premium until that premium has been paid. The
amounts and frequency of Planned Periodic Premium
Payments are shown on the Schedule Page.
Premiums must be paid to the Company at its Home
Office. Upon request, a receipt signed by the
President or Secretary of the Company will be
furnished for any premium payment.
Changes in frequency and increases or decreases in
the amount of Planned Periodic Premium Payments
may be made by the Owner. The Planned Periodic
Premium cannot be changed to an amount less than
$50.00. Premium payment notices will be sent to the
Owner upon written request. The notices may be sent
annually, semi-annually, or quarterly.
Under the special payment facility, Planned Periodic
Premium Payments of $25.00 or more may be made
on a monthly basis.
Additional premium payments may be made at any
time during the continuance of this Policy.
The Company reserves the right to refuse to accept
any premiums which would disqualify this Policy from
favorable tax treatment as life insurance under federal
law. If premiums paid during any policy year exceed
the federal life insurance premium guidelines, the
Company will return the excess premiums with
interest of at least 4% within sixty days after the end
of the policy year.
GRACE PERIOD
Except as provided below, this Policy will enter the
Grace Period if the Surrender Value on the Monthly
Deduction Day is insufficient to cover the Monthly
Expense Charge. (The Accumulation Value,
Surrender Value, and Monthly Expense Charge are
described in the Nonforfeiture Provisions.)
The above notwithstanding, prior to the ninth policy
anniversary, this Policy will enter the Grace Period if:
The Accumulation Value less indebtedness on the
Monthly Deduction Day is less than the Monthly
Expense Charge;
or if
The Surrender Value on the Monthly Deduction
Day is less than the Monthly Expense Charge;
and
The sum of the premiums paid since the Date of
Issue, less any loans, Withdrawals or Partial
Surrenders, is less than the Coverage
Continuation Requirement as of the Monthly
Deduction Day.
As of each Monthly Deduction Day during the first nine
policy years, the Coverage Continuation Requirement
shall be the sum of the Coverage Continuation
Components applicable to each policy month from the
Date of Issue.
The Coverage Continuation Component in effect on
the Date of Issue is shown on the Schedule page. The
Coverage Continuation Component will change as of
the effective date of any increase in the Specified
Benefit Amount, modification of rating classification,
or any addition of, increase in, or maturity of, any rider.
The Coverage Continuation Component in effect as
of any Monthly Deduction Day will apply to the policy
month next following. The Company will notify the
Owner of any change in the Coverage Continuation
Component.
A Grace Period of sixty-one days will be allowed for
the payment of premiums sufficient to cover any past
due Monthly Expense Charges and applicable loan
interest. Written notice of such premium will be mailed
to the last known address of the Owner and any
assignee of record at least thirty days before the
Grace Period ends. If such premium is not paid within
the Grace Period, all coverage will terminate without
value at the end of the Grace Period. If a claim by
death during the Grace Period becomes payable
under the Policy, any overdue Monthly Expense
Charge will be deducted from the Insurance
Proceeds.
REINSTATEMENT
If this Policy terminates as provided in the Grace
Period provision, the Owner may apply for
reinstatement. The application must be received by
the Company at its Home Office within five years of
the date of termination, but before the Maturity Date,
and must include:
1) evidence of insurability of the Insured satisfactory
to the Company;
2) payment of a premium sufficient to prevent this
Policy from entering a Grace Period for at least
three months after the date of reinstatement;
3) payment or reinstatement of any policy loan; and
4) payment of interest on the reinstated loan from the
date of reinstatement to the end of the policy year.
Reinstatement will not be effective until the date the
application is approved by the Company.
The Incontestability provision with respect to the
reinstatement application and the Suicide provision
will apply from the effective date of reinstatement.
1 A /OnAI C%
NONFORFEITURE PROVISIONS
ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Accumulation Value on the Date of Issue shall
be at least 931/2 percent of premiums paid on or before
the Date of Issue, less the Monthly Expense Charge
for the first month. On each Monthly Deduction Day
the Accumulation Value shall be calculated as (a), plus
(b) plus (c), minus the sum of (d) plus (e) where:
COST OF INSURANCE
The Cost of Insurance is determined on a monthly
basis. The Cost of Insurance is determined separately
for the Initial Specified Benefit Amount and for each
increase in Specified Benefit Amount.
The Cost of Insurance is calculated as (a), multiplied
by the result of (b) minus (c), where:
(a) is the Accumulation Value on the preceding
Monthly Deduction Day;
(b) is one month's interest on (a);
(c) is 931/2 percent or more of all premiums received
since the preceding Monthly Deduction Day;
(d) is the amount of any Partial Surrender, Partial
Surrender Charge, Withdrawal and Withdrawal
fee since the preceding Monthly Deduction Day;
(e) is the Monthly Expense Charge for the month
following the Monthly Deduction Day.
On any day other than a Monthly Deduction Day, the
Accumulation Value shall be calculated as (f) plus (g)
minus (h), where:
(f) is the Accumulation Value as of the preceding
Monthly Deduction Day;
(g) is 931/2 percent or more of all premiums received
since the preceding Monthly Deduction Day;
(h) is the amount of any Partial Surrender, Partial
Surrender Charge, Withdrawal or Withdrawal fee
since the preceding Monthly Deduction Day.
MONTHLY EXPENSE CHARGE
The Monthly Expense Charge shall be calculated as
(i) plus Q), where:
(i) is the Cost of Insurance (as described below) plus
the cost of additional benefits provided by rider.
(j) is the Administrative Charge.
The Administrative Charge shall not exceed, but may
be less than, the Maximum Administrative Charge
shown on the Schedule Page.
INTEREST RATE
The interest rate used in the calculation of the
Accumulation Value is guaranteed to be a minimum
of .32737 percent per month, compounded monthly,
which is equal to 4 percent per year compounded
annually. Interest in excess of the guaranteed
minimum rate may be credited as determined by the
Company's Board of Directors. Interest credited on
the portion of the Accumulation Value that is loaned
will at no time be less than the guaranteed minimum
interest rate.
(a) is the Cost of Insurance Rate as described in the
Cost of Insurance Rates section.
(b) is the Insurance Proceeds at the beginning of the
policy month divided by 1.0032737.
(c) is the Accumulation Value at the beginning of the
policy month.
If the Accumulation Value is included in the Specified
Benefit Amount and there have been increases in the
Insurance Proceeds, then the Accumulation Value
shall be first considered a part of the Initial Specified
Benefit Amount. If the Accumulation Value exceeds
the Initial Specified Benefit Amount, it shall then be
considered a part of additional Specified Benefit
Amounts resulting from increases in the order of the
increases.
Any deduction for the Cost of Insurance during the
Grace Period shall not be considered a waiver by the
Company of the terms of the Grace Period provision.
Any such charge shall be deducted from the
Accumulation Value as of the date of the charge.
COST OF INSURANCE RATES
The monthly Cost of Insurance Rate is based on the
sex, attained age, and rating class of the person
insured. Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates will be
determined by the Company from time to time based
on its expectations as to future mortality experience.
However, the Cost of Insurance Rates will not be
greater than those shown in the Table of Guaranteed
Maximum Insurance Rates or as the same are
amended by the rating factor, if any, shown on the
Schedule Page. Any change in the Cost of Insurance
Rates will be on a uniform basis for insureds of the
same age, sex and classification whose policies have
been in force for the same length of time. The interest
rate used to calculate the guaranteed Cost of
Insurance Rates is 4% per year. The Table of
Guaranteed Maximum Insurance Rates is also
applicable to increase amounts of insurance subject
to any applicable rating factor shown on the Schedule
Page.
The guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates are based
on the 1980 Smoker or Nonsmoker Commissioner's
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (CSO), Age Last
Birthday.
L-5 (FPAL-5)
NONFORFEITURE PROVISIONS (Continued)
CASH VALUE
The Cash Value shall be calculated as the
Accumulation Value less the Surrender Charge.
SURRENDER CHARGE
The Surrender Charge is the lesser of (a) or (b), where:
(a) is the Accumulation Value;
(b) is the Maximum Surrender Charge shown on the
Schedule Page multiplied by the factor from the
Table of Surrender Charge Factors that
corresponds to the policy year of surrender.
SURRENDER CHARGE FOR INCREASES IN
SPECIFIED BENEFIT AMOUNT
If the Specified Benefit Amount is increased, a
separate Surrender Charge will be applied at the time
of the increase. The Specification Endorsement
providing for the increase will include the Maximum
Additional Surrender Charge resulting from the
increase. The Additional Surrender Charge will equal
the Maximum Additional Surrender Charge shown on
the Specification Endorsement multiplied by the factor
from the Table of Surrender Charge Factors that
corresponds to the number of years since the
increase.
The Additional Surrender Charge resulting from an
increase shall be added to the amount specified in
(b) above to determine the total Surrender Charge.
BASIS OF COMPUTATIONS
Accumulation Values are based on the 1980 Smoker
or Nonsmoker CSO Mortality Table, Age Last
Birthday, with interest at 4 percent per year
compounded annually. Accumulation Values are at
least equal to those required on the Date of Issue by
the state in which this Policy was purchased.
Reserves are based on the 1980 Smoker or
Nonsmoker CSO Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday,
with interest at the Calendar Year Statutory Valuation
Interest Rate. Reserves are calculated using a
Modified Preliminary Term method, but are not less
than the reserves calculated using the
Commissioner's Reserve Valuation method.
Where required, a detailed statement of the method
of computation of Accumulation Values and reserves
under this Policy has been filed with the insurance
department of the state in which this Policy was
purchased.
CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE
In the event Planned Periodic Premium payments are
not continued, insurance coverage under this Policy
and any benefits provided by rider will be continued
in force.
Such coverage shall be continued until termination
as provided in the Grace Period provision. This
provision shall not continue the Policy beyond the
Maturity Date nor continue any rider beyond the date
for its termination, as provided in the rider. If the
Insured is living on the Maturity Date and the Policy
is still in force, the Company will pay the Surrender
Value to the Owner.
WITHDRAWAL
A Withdrawal from this Policy may be made at any
time prior to termination upon written request by the
Owner to the Company at its Home Office. The sum
of all Withdrawals cannot equal or exceed 50% of the
Surrender Value.
When a Withdrawal is made, the amount of the
Withdrawal will be deducted from the Accumulation
Value. The Insurance Proceeds shall be reduced by
the amount of the Withdrawal. An additional fee of
$25.00 will be deducted from the Accumulation Value
for each Withdrawal. Not more than three Withdrawals
will be allowed in any policy year.
The Company reserves the right to defer a Withdrawal
for a period permitted by law, but not for more than
six months from the date of receipt of the request by
the Company at its Home Office, unless such payment
would be used to pay premiums on policies in force
with the Company.
PARTIAL SURRENDER
A Partial Surrender of this Policy may be made at any
time prior to termination by written request of the
Owner to the Company at its Home Office. A Partial
Surrender is an amount which when added to all
previous Partial Surrenders and Withdrawals equals
or exceeds 50% of the Surrender Value. If a Partial
Surrender is made, an additional fee will be deducted
from the Accumulation Value as follows. The
additional fee will equal the Surrender Charge
multiplied by the ratio that the Partial Surrender bears
to the Surrender Value. After a Partial Surrender, the
Surrender Charge for the Policy will be reduced by
the additional fee. The Insurance Proceeds, the
Accumulation Value, and the Cash Value will be
reduced by the amount of the Partial Surrender. Not
more than three Partial Surrenders will be allowed in
any policy year.
The Company reserves the right to defer a Partial
Surrender for a period permitted by law, but not for
more than six months from the date of receipt of the
request by the Company at its Home Office, unless
such payment would be used to pay premiums on
policies in force with the Company.
L-6 (FPAL-5)
The NONFORFEITURE PROVISIONS (Continued)
SURRENDER AND SURRENDER VALUE
This Policy may be surrendered at any time prior to
termination upon written request by the Owner to the
Company at its Home Office. The amount payable on
surrender of this Policy shall be the Surrender Value,
which is the Cash Value less any indebtedness, on
the date of surrender. The Surrender Value will be
paid in cash or under an elected Settlement Option.
If surrender is requested under this section within 30
days after a policy anniversary, the Surrender Value
shall not be less than the Surrender Value on that
anniversary, less any Partial Surrenders, Withdrawals,
or loans made on or after such anniversary.
If this Policy is surrendered, coverage shall terminate
as of the next Monthly Deduction Day. The Company
reserves the right to defer the payment of the
Surrender Value for the period permitted by law, but
not for more than six months from the date of receipt
of the request by the Company at its Home Office,
unless such payment would be used to pay premiums
on policies in force with the Company.
POLICY LOAN PROVISIONS
POLICY LOANS
The Owner can borrow against this Policy as sole
security for any amount up to the Loan Value at any
time prior to the termination of this Policy. The loan
must be requested by the Owner in writing.
On a policy anniversary, premium due date, or during
a Grace Period the Loan Value is the Cash Value less
any loan and accrued interest. Otherwise, the Loan
Value is the amount with interest which equals the
Loan Value on the next policy anniversary.
Before advancing the loan amount, the Company may
withhold an amount sufficient to pay interest on total
indebtedness to the end of the policy year and any
Monthly Expense Charges due during the next three
months, or to the end of the policy year, whichever
occurs first.
Loans under this policy will bear interest at a rate that
is subject to adjustment on each policy anniversary.
The initial interest rate charged on any loan will be
the Company's Adjustable Loan Interest Rate in effect
on the previous policy anniversary. As of each
subsequent policy anniversary, the interest rate
charged for the policy year following will be the
Adjustable Loan Interest Rate in effect on that policy
anniversary.
The Owner will be notified of the initial interest rate
at the time the loan request is made. The Company
will also notify the Owner of any change in the interest
rate applicable to an outstanding policy loan. No
Policy will terminate in a policy year as the sole result
of a change in the interest rate during that policy year.
Insurance will remain in force until the time it would
have otherwise terminated had the interest rate not
been changed.
The Owner may be required to sign a loan agreement
assigning this Policy to the Company as security. The
Company may delay the payment of the loan.
Payment may be delayed up to six months from the
date the request was received unless such payment
would be used to pay premiums on policies in force
with the Company.
LOAN INTEREST RATE
Interest is payable in advance on the first interest
payment due date and on each policy anniversary that
follows. The first interest payment due date is the date
of the loan.
Interest not paid when due is added to the loan and
bears interest at the same rate as the loan.
The Adjustable Loan Interest Rate will be determined
as of the first day of each January, April, July, and
October, and will be determined by comparing the
Adjustable Loan Interest Rate in effect for the
preceding three months with a maximum interest rate
defined by law and described below. Any change in
the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate will be subject to
the following:
L-7'(FPAL-5) (RI)
POLICY LOAN PROVISIONS (Continued)
a. The Adjustable Loan Interest Rate will be lowered
to be equal to or less than the legal maximum
interest rate if such legal maximum rate is .5%
or more lower than the Adjusted Loan Interest
Rate for the preceding three months.
b. The Adjustable Loan Interest Rate may be
increased by at least .5% but not higher than the
legal maximum interest rate, if the legal maximum
interest rate is .5% or more higher than the
Adjustable Loan Interest Rate for the preceding
three months.
The Adjustable Loan Interest Rate will not exceed the
greater of:
(1) The Published Monthly Average for the calendar
month ending two months before the date on
which the rate is determined; or
(2) The interest rate used to compute the
Accumulation Value under the Policy during the
applicable period plus 1% per year.
The Published Monthly Average is Moody's Corporate
Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporate as
published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or any
successor to it. In the event that Moody's Corporate
Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporate is no
longer published, the Published Monthly Average will
be a substantially similar average established by
regulations issued by the Insurance Commissioner of
the state in which this Policy was purchased.
REPAYMENT AND TERMINATION
Policy loans,. including accrued interest, may be
repaid in whole or part at any time prior to termination
of this Policy. A loan outstanding at the end of the
Grace Period may not be repaid until this Policy is
reinstated. All funds received by the Company under
this Policy will be credited as premium payment
unless clearly marked for loan repayment.
Whenever the policy loan plus accrued interest equals
or exceeds the Cash Value of this Policy, written
notification will be sent to the last known address of
the Owner and assignee, if any. This Policy will
terminate sixty-one days after the date of mailing the
notification.

is hereby amended by adding as the second paragraph the following language:
As of every fifth Policy Anniversary of the Date of Issue through the Twentieth Anniversary, an

Value from the Date of Issue, and then reducing that product by the total amount of all previous
fifth-anniversary-credited sums.

Beginning with the Monthly Deduction Day first following the Twentieth Anniversary, and on
every Monthly Deduction Day thereafter, each interest rate used in the calculation of the
Accumulation Value shall equal the declared interest rate as determined by the Company's Board
of Directors plus half of the excess of that declared rate over the guaranteed minimum rate.

7.75 %:
10 Year Surrender Index 3.02
20 Year Surrender Index 1.85
The non-guaranteed interest rate shown is credited to that part of the cash value exceeding $1,000. The guaranteed
rate applies to the first $1,000 of cash value. If a policy loan exists, the guaranteed rate only, and not the
non-guaranteed rate, applies to that portion of the cash value borrowed. If the interest rate used is higher than
that shown, or if the costs of insurance rates are lowered, within the 10 and 20 year period, the Index will be
lower. If not, the index will be the same or higher.
The Surrender Comparison index was designed to measure the relative cost of life insurance protection and may
be useful for comparison of similar policies offered by other companies. Technically, the index shows the
relationship between the amounts paid by the insured (the average annual premiums) and the amounts paid by the
insurer (the cash value of the policy in the event of surrender over periods of 10 and 20 years all adjusted for
compound interest at the rate of five percent per annum to reflect the timing of the payments).
When comparing similar policies, if all things are equal, the policy with the lower Index is generally the lower
cost policy and the better buy in the event that the policy was surrendered at the end of the designated period.
If death would occur during the designated period, the policy with the lower Index would not necessarily be the
lower cost policy. The index does not take into account, among other things (1) the value of the services of an
agent or company; (2) the relative strength and reputation of the company; and (3) small differences in policy
provisions. The Index does assume that annual premiums are paid, and that no additional benefit provisions are
included.
