First to Die Insurance Plan

You are eligible to apply for the SPE Group First-to-Die Term Life Insurance if:

• you a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers,
• You are legally married or have a domestic partner,
• You and your lawful spouse or domestic partner are between 18 and 59 years of age, and
• You are a resident of the United States, except territories*.

A dependent that is also a member is eligible for either member or dependent coverage, but not both. If both spouses/domestic partners are covered as members, neither may insure the other as spouse/domestic partner and only one may insure eligible children.

*Note: Due to state regulations, this coverage is not available in SD. Please contact the Administrator at 1-800-337-3140 or e-mail speinsurance@agia.com for the status of approval.

Schedule of Life Insurance

Options of $50,000 to $500,000 in increments of $50,000 are available. What benefit level is best for you? One good way to decide is to determine how many years your family would have to rely on these benefits to replace the loss of one partner's paycheck.

One Certificate is issued which provides the same coverage for both marriage partners. The benefit selected is paid when the first one dies. Joint coverage ends at that point. The surviving spouse can then convert to the SPE Group Term Life Insurance Coverage.

Simultaneous Loss Benefit

The full benefit amount will be paid to the beneficiary for each insured if both die within 30 days of a common accident.

Conversion to the SPE Group Term Life Insurance Coverage

The surviving spouse has the right to enroll in the SPE Term Life Insurance Coverage within 60 days of the first spouse's death with no medical underwriting when enrolling for benefits equal to or less than the amount insured under the Group First-to-Die Term Life Insurance Coverage. To apply for additional benefits or after 60 days, underwriting will be necessary.

Combined First-to-Die Life Insurance and SPE Term Life Insurance Coverage

The combined benefit from both coverages for you, the member can be a maximum of $1,000,000. That's the maximum of both coverages added together. Your spouse can have coverage up to or equal to yours.

Incontestability

The validity of any amount of insurance which has been in force for two years during your lifetime will not be contested except for non-payment of premium.

Discount for Non-Smokers

You and your spouse may qualify for reduced rates if both of you can certify on the application form that you have not used tobacco or nicotine in any form during the past 12 months.

Choice of Beneficiaries

One or more beneficiaries can be designated. If more than one beneficiary is designated, they can be classified as Primary Beneficiary ("Primary Beneficiary" is the person(s) named to first receive the proceeds of the insurance), or Contingent Beneficiary ("Contingent Beneficiary" is the person(s) named to receive the proceeds of the insurance if no Primary Beneficiary survives). Each beneficiary's share can be stated. If more than one beneficiary is designated and if their respective interests have not been stated, they will share alike.

Effective Date

Coverage starts on the date your application is approved by New York Life Insurance Company, provided the premium has been paid within 31 days after the date you are billed and you and your spouse are performing your normal activities on the later of the date of approval and the date the contribution is paid.

Termination of Coverage

Coverage will terminate for both you and your spouse on the earliest of the following:

• the premium due date after you reach age 90 or cease to be a member,
• if you fail to pay premiums when due,
• when the group policy is terminated,
• upon the death of either the member or spouse, or
• the date of divorce or dissolution of marriage.

Remember, the surviving spouse can convert to the SPE Term Life Insurance Plan. In the case of divorce or dissolution, the member can convert to the SPE Term Life Insurance Plan or request an individual policy.

The insurance company cannot increase your rates, reduce your benefits or cancel your coverage individually for health reasons. Rates can only be increased on a classwide basis. A class is a group of people with the same age or gender.

Premiums may be paid semiannually or annually. To pay annually, multiply the premiums listed above by two.

*Premiums are based on the member's age. Rates increase on the Policy anniversary date (December 1) following a member's entry into each new age bracket. To qualify for the lower non-smoker rates, both the member and spouse must be non-smokers. New York Life Insurance Company reserves the right to change rates on a classwide basis on any premium due date and on any date on which benefits are changed. However, your rates may change only if they are changed for all others in the same class of insureds under this group policy. For example, a class of insureds is a group of people with all the same issue age or benefit amount. The rates shown above are the current rates.

Please note: An Administrative fee of $2.00 is added for the semiannual billing mode.

Renewability

On the Policy anniversary date (December 1) on or after the insured member turns age 60, benefits will be reduced to a percentage of the benefits in force immediately preceding the member's 60^th birthday, as shown in the table below. Benefits for both insured and spouse reduce when the member turns age 60. Premiums are not reduced when coverage reduces. (Benefit options are not guaranteed and are subject to agreement between New York Life Insurance Company and the Policyholder.)

Age of Insured Member	Percentage of Member Benefit
60	78%
