A person who is eligible for insurance because of employment shall cease to be within the classes of persons
igible for insurance upon termination of employment. Termination of employment shall, for the purpose of this
rance, be defined as cessation of active work by layoff, work stoppage, leave of absence, resignation, dis-
sal, being pensioned or retired or cessation of active work because of disability.
If a protected person ceases to be within the classes of eligible persons, his insurance shall terminate on the
date specified in the preceding paragraphs, except that upon payment of the premium for such protected person
by the Policyholder, he shall continue to be a protected person for an additional period of six (6)
months in the event of leave of absence or disability.
If a protected person's insurance is terminated during a disability covered by this policy and the protected
person returns to active work at the end of the period of his disability, his insurance under the policy may be
reinstated as of the date of his return to work without evidence of insurability.
If, at the time of termination of insurance, the protected person is receiving benefits in accordance with the
provisions of this policy, such benefits shall continue to be paid for the balance of the period for which he would
otherwise have been entitled to such benefits.
5. CONTINUANCE OF POLICY. This Policy may be continued in force, in accordance with General Pro-
visions 6, 7 and 8 relating to payment of premiums, for a further term of one year upon the payment, prior to
the expiration of the grace period immediately following the anniversary date of the policy, of the premium for
the insurance so continued.
If at any time the number of persons insured hereunder shall be less than 25 , or less than 75%
of those eligible for insurance, the Association reserves the right to decline to continue this policy on the first
policy anniversary or on any premium due date thereafter.
6. EXPERIENCE RATING. On the first policy anniversary and upon each premium due date thereafter,
roviding the then current premium rate has been in effect for at least twelve months, the Association shall
Wee the right to change the premium rates at which further premiums shall be computed, but no increase in
miums shall be retroactive.
The Association may, as of any anniversary date of this policy, declare a retroactive rate refund for the
policy year just completed. Should a Policyholder qualify for such retroactive rate refund and should such
refund exceed the Policyholder's share of the premium, the excess shall be applied by the Policyholder for the
sole benefit of the protected persons.
7. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. The initial premium shall be due on the 6th day of September
19 60 , for the period ending on the 31st day of September , 1960 . Subsequent premiums shall
be payable monthly in advance on the 1st day of each month thereafter during the
continuance of this policy. The policy anniversaries are deemed to occur on the lst day of September
of each year beginning in 19 61 . The premium due on the effective date hereof and on each subsequent due date
shall be the sum of the individual premiums of each protected person determined according to his respective
benefits and his classification at the time the premium is due.
All premiums or installments thereof are payable to the Association at the Home Office of the Association
in Omaha, Nebraska, on or before each premium due date. Premiums may be paid annually, semiannually,
quarterly, monthly, or any other mode mutually agreeable at the Association's rates therefor. The payment of
any premium or installment thereof shall not maintain the policy in force beyond the due date of the next pre-
mium or installment, except to the extent hereinafter expressly provided. The Association operates on the full
legal reserve basis and the contingent mutual liability hereunder shall not exceed one additional premium in the
amount of the premium required herefor.
8. GRACE IN PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS-TERMINATION OF POLICY. A grace period of thirty-one
days will be granted to the Policyholder for the payment of every premium due after the initial premium dur-
ing which time this policy shall remain in force, unless the Policyholder or the Association shall have given
previous notice that the policy is to be terminated as of the due date of such premium in which event no grace
period will be allowed.
WA A If such notice is not given and the premium is not paid before the expiration of the grace period, this
cy may be terminated by the Association by mailing to the Policyholder written notice stating when, not
less than five days thereafter, such termination shall be effective. In the event of such notice, or if written notice
is given by the Policyholder to the Association during the grace period that the policy is to be terminated, the

premium to the date of such termination.

* e date stated in the notice. Delivery of such written notice whether by the Policyholder or the Association

if any, of the protected persons, constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto. No change or modi-
fication may be made nor the date of payment of any premium changed except by agreement in writing signed
by an officer of the Association, and the Association shall not be bound by any promise or representation affect-
ing this contract made at any time by any person other than an officer of the Association. All statements made
by the Policyholder and the protected persons shall be deemed representations and not warranties and no such
statement shall avoid this policy unless it is contained in the written application therefor, a copy of which is
attached hereto.
10. RECORDS-INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED. The Policyholder shall keep a record of the pro-
tected persons, containing the essential particulars of the insurance of each such person. The Policyholder shall
furnish monthly, on the Association's forms such information relating to new protected persons, adjustments

properly administer this insurance. The Policyholder's books and records which may have a bearing on the
insurance provided under this policy shall be open to the Association for inspection at any time during the pol-
icy period and within one year after termination of the policy.
11. CLERICAL ERROR. If an eligible person made proper written application for insurance hereunder dur-
ing the period specified in the first paragraph of General Provision 2 and also made the required contribution,
if any, to the Policyholder, but, through clerical error, the Policyholder failed to give due notice thereof to the
Association, the insurance to which such eligible person would have been entitled shall nevertheless be effec-
tive from the date specified in the first paragraph of General Provision 2 as soon as proper premium remittance
to the Association is made.
12. INDIVIDUAL CERTIFICATE. The Association will issue to the Policyholder for delivery to each pro-
tected person insured hereunder an individual Certificate setting forth a statement as to the insurance benefits
to which such protected person is entitled under this policy and to whom such benefits are payable.

ficiary, or to any changes in this policy.

or beneficiary who is a minor or otherwise not competent to give a valid release, the Association may pay to
the hospital, physician or surgeon, on whose charge or fee claim is based, any sums due for Hospital Expense

CONVERSION PRIVILEGE
If a protected person ceases to be within the class or classes of persons eligible for insurance
under this group policy, such protected person shall be entitled to have issued to him, without fur-
nishing evidence of insurability, an individual policy, or, if the protected person's dependents were
also insured under this group policy, a family policy; provided that such protected person is then
under 7 6 years of age and makes written application and the first premium payment therefor to the
Association within thirty days after termination of his insurance under this group policy. The form
of the individual or family policy, the coverage thereunder, and all other terms and conditions
thereof shall be as provided by the rules of the Association for such individual or family policy at the
time of such application. Under the family policy the protected person may include only those of his
dependents, excluding any dependent children over age 17, who were insured under this group policy
on the date his insurance terminated.
The individual or family policy, if issued, shall become effective on the day the application is
signed or on the date of termination of insurance under this group policy, whichever is the later,
and any benefits which are payable under this group policy shall be excluded from coverage under
the individual or family policy.
If a protected person, after converting to an individual or family policy, again becomes eligible
for insurance under this group policy and his individual or family policy is continued in force after
he again becomes eligible, such person shall be required to furnish, at his own expense, evidence
of insurability before he may again become insured under this group policy. In the event a protected
person has a family policy which is continued in force after he again becomes eligible for insurance
under this group policy, such protected person shall also be required to furnish, at his own expense,
evidence of insurability for each of his dependents before they may again become insured as de-
pendents under this group policy.
Regardless of any provision contained in this conversion privilege, the issuance of any policy
scribed herein shall be subject to all of the rules and regulations of the state in which application
is made.

person became eligible for insurance under this policy), such dependent insurance shall become ef-
fective on the date the protected person's insurance becomes effective, If a protected person has no
eligible dependents on the date he becomes insured under this policy and subsequently acquires a

sociation of the insurability of each eligible dependent the protected person then has and such insur-
ance shall not become effective prior to a date determined by the Association.

eligible dependent, the protected person shall be automatically insured with respect to such de-
pendent unless the premium rate applicable to the protected person's dependent insurance would
thereby be increased. If the premium rate would be increased, the protected person shall become
insured with respect to such additional eligible dependent only under the conditions stated in the two
preceding paragraphs.
