Income from employment will be treated as follows for the purposes of the Reductions provision: During the first 12 months of a return to work, income he is receiving from any employment will not be included as a source of income under the Reductions provision. 2. During the next 12 months, 25 % of the gross monthly income he is receiving from any employment will be included as a source of income under the Reductions provision. For any additional period, 50% of the gross monthly income he is receiving from any employment will be included as a source of income under the Reductions provision. However, if at any time, the total of: the monthly benefit he is receiving from this policy, 2. the sources described in the Reductions provision of this policy, other than income from employment, and 3. any earnings from employment, exceeds 100% of his indexed pre -disability monthly earnings, then the benefit under this policy will be further reduced. We will reduce his monthly benefit so that his total monthly income from all such sources does not exceed 100% of his indexed pre -disability monthly earnings. We will stop making benefit payments to him on the earlier of the following dates: The date on which he would otherwise cease to be disabled as defined in this policy. 2. The date on which he would otherwise cease to receive benefits under this policy. GD600-329 The Canada Life Assurance Company Page 17 Dated August 1st, 1995.

If the spouse has died prior to the date of death of the person, the children of the person provided they are under age 25. Benefit If a person who is disabled in accordance with the terms of this policy dies, we will make one lump sum payment to his eligible survivor. The payment will be made provided that both of the following conditions have been met: 1. The person had completed a continuous period of disability of 180 days or the, elimination period, whichever is greater. 2. The person had been receiving or was entitled to receive payments under this policy immediately prior to his death. The payment to be made to the eligible survivor will be 3 times the full monthly benefit the person received prior to his death or would have been entitled to receive if his death had not occurred. This will not include any reduction made to the monthly benefit in accordance with the other terms of policy. If the payment becomes due to the children of a person, we will make the payment to the children or to an individual legally entitled to receive payment on behalf of the children.

Conditions If a person receives a lump sum settlement for any of the benefits shown above, our payments under this policy will be reduced by the amount that he would normally receive if the payments were being made on a monthly basis. If, at the time of calculating the amount of any payments to be made under this policy, the benefit which a person is entitled to apply for and receive under any other source described in this provision has not been awarded nor denied, we will estimate the amount of such benefit. The estimate will be used to reduce the amount of the payments under this policy until such time as the benefit under such source has been awarded or denied. However, such estimate will not be used if, within six months of becoming disabled, the person meets both the following conditions. 1. The person has applied for the benefit under the other source; and 2. The person completes and signs our Reimbursement Agreement. This agreement states that the person promises to repay to us any overpayment caused by an award of the benefit under the other source. If we have reduced payments under this policy by an estimate of the amount of the benefit under another source, we will adjust the amount of the payments under this policy when we receive written notice that the amount of the benefit received under such source differs from the estimate or that the benefit has been denied. If the amount of the benefit received under another source is less than was estimated or the benefit has been denied, we will make a lump sum refund of the amount by which we have underpaid the payments the person is entitled to under this policy. If the amount of the benefit received under another source is more than was estimated the person must make repayment to us of the amount of the overpayment.

A person will reimburse us in the amount of any benefits we have paid out of the damages recovered, which damages, when added to the benefits paid under this policy, are in excess of 100% of his lost income. If a person receives a lump sum payment or periodic payments under judgment or settlement for damages we will stop making payments under this policy. Payments will only resume when the payments which would otherwise be payable under this policy equal the amount we are entitled to be reimbursed.
