Terminal illness refers to a conclusive diagnosis of an illness that is expected to result in the death of the life assured within 12 months of the diagnosis. The Terminal Illness must be diagnosed by a registered medical practitioner and must be supported by evidence acceptable to the Company. Terminal illness in the presence of HIV infection is excluded.

²Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) means any of the two situations:

A. The life assured, due to accident or sickness, is disabled to such an extent as to be rendered totally unable to engage in any occupation, business or activity for income, remuneration or profit; and the disability must continue uninterrupted for at least six consecutive months from the time when disability started; and the disability must, in the view of a medical examiner appointed by the company, be deemed permanent with no possibility of improvement in the foreseeable future.

a. the entire sight in both eyes; or

b. any two limbs at or above the wrist or ankle; or

c. the entire sight in one eye and any one limb at or above the wrist or ankle.

Subject to a maximum TPD Benefit of $5,000,000 on all policies and riders issued by the Company on the same life assured. The TPD benefit is only applicable if TPD occurs before the policy anniversary on which the life assured is age 65 next birthday

³Critical Illness (CI) Benefit rider

On diagnosis of one of the 30 critical illnesses except for Angioplasty, the basic sum assured together with bonuses (if any) from the basic policy will be accelerated and paid in one lump sum. This rider will then be terminated. The amount of accelerated basic sum assured equals to the sum assured of this rider.

For Angioplasty And Other Invasive Treatment For Coronary Artery (“Angioplasty”), the basic sum assured equal to 10% of the rider sum assured (up to a maximum of $25,000 per life assured) will be payable if the life assured undergoes a treatment.

No benefit under this rider will be payable for Heart Attack of Specified Severity, Major Cancers, Coronary Artery By-pass Surgery, Angioplasty & Other Invasive Treatment For Coronary Artery or Other Serious Coronary Artery Disease, if the diagnosis of any such medical conditions or the diagnosis of any medical conditions resulting in such medical procedures being performed on the Life Assured was made within 90 days from the date of issue of the rider. If the rider was reinstated, the Company will also not provide the benefits if the diagnosis of any such medical conditions or the diagnosis of any medical conditions resulting in such medical procedures being performed on the Life Assured was made within 90 days from the date of reinstatement of the rider.
