    satisfied.

    due date. Any outstanding Insurance Charges will be deducted from any proceeds that may become payable during the

    thirty-one (31) days Grace Period.

    If Regular Premium payment is not received at the end of the thirty-one (31) days Grace Period and this Policy has a

    Total Account Value, this Policy will continue to be in force for the same Death Benefit for as long as the Total Account

    Value is sufficient to pay for the Premium Charges and Insurance Charges. If this Policy's Total Account Value is

    insufficient to pay for the Premium Charges and Insurance Charges , and Insurance Charges were not paid through

    Contract Debt, this Policy and Supplementary Benefit/s if any shall immediately terminate at the end of the thirty-one

    (31) days Grace Period. Any balance remaining in the Total Account Value of this Policy shall be returned to the Owner.

    Payment of Regular Top-Up Premium

    Regular Top-Up Premium, if elected by the Owner, will be due together with the Regular Premium. Regular Top-Up

    Premium, less any applicable Premium Charges and any Contract Debt, will be used to purchase Units at Unit Price /s of

    relevant Fund/s at the Next Valuation Date following the date of receipt of such Regular Top-Up Premium, in

    accordance with the Fund Allocation Rate specified in the Policy Data Page or in any subsequent endorsement recorded

    with FWD.

    Top-Up Premiums do not increase the Benefit Amount of the Supplementary Benefit/s if any payable under this Policy.

    Payment of Lump Sum Top-Up Premium

    While this Policy is in force, the Owner may request for and upon approval by FWD pay a Lump Sum Top -Up Premium

    at any time. Such Lump Sum Top-Up Premium, less any applicable Premium Charges and any Contract Debt, will be

    Price/s of relevant Fund/s at the Next Valuation Date subject to FWD's written approval and prevailing administrative

    rules and procedures at the time of application.

    Lump Sum Top -Up Premium shall be subject to FWD#s prevailing administrative rules on the minimum and maximum

    requirements for Lump Sum Top-Up Premium. Each Lump Sum Top-Up Premium will automatically increase the

    Minimum Death Benefit by 125% of such Lump Sum Top-Up Premium amount paid. Lump Sum Top -Up Premiums do

    not increase the Benefit Amount of any attached Supplementary Benefit/s. FWD reserves the right to require evidence

    of insurability or to decline such payment of Lump Sum Top-Up Premium.
